...Hearing Loss Hearing loss has always been an interesting topic to me. Before I was born my father damaged his hearing from listening to music too loud in college and loud noises in general. He wears hearing aids to help him hear everything from his students talking at school to the television at home. I use to ride to his audiologist appointments with him all the time because I thought the process of testing his hearing and the process of making and adjusting his hearing aids was so interesting and exciting. That is why I chose hearing loss as my topic. Hearing loss is defined by Farlex as; any degree of impairment of the ability to hear sound (Farlex, 2013). In other words if you cannot hear whispering or if you cannot hear fireworks you have some sort of hearing loss. “About 26 million Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 have high frequency hearing loss due to exposure to loud noises at work or in leisure activities” (Disorders, 2013). There are three different types of hearing loss and different severities. There is conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, and mixed Hearing loss. Dr. Michael P. Robb defines conductive hearing loss as; hearing loss due to problems affecting sound transmission through the outer or middle ear (Robb, 2010). In other words, if you have a problem with your outer or middle ear, such as an obstruction of the ear canal, or otitis externa, (swimmers ear), you would have conductive hearing loss. These are treatable with medicine or...

...Introduction Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that can affect individuals well into their adolescents. It occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height. Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity can also lead to psychological conditions such as poor self-esteem and depression. In 2007, an estimated 22 million children under the age of 5 years old were overweight throughout the world, leading us to conclude that this is a global problem. Out of this figure, more than 75% of overweight and obese children live in low or middle income countries. These children will most likely continue to lead an unhealthy life. In addition, they are more likely to suffer from non-communicable ailments such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease at a very young age. At the national level, childhood obesity is increasingly prevalent. Data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys shows that the prevalence of obesity has increased for children in all age categoris. Below is a chart depicting the tested age groups along with the increase in obesity rates. Statistics also show that 17% of all children and adolescents are either overweight or obese.

...Valerie Valencia English 120 Professor Berger July 9, 2015 Comforting lies INTRO Superstitions date back to God's attempt to explain nature and his own existence. There was a deep belief that animals, nature and objects held a connection to spirits and the spirit world. In order to have a feeling of appeasing these forces, different behaviors or customs arose that would dictate a favorable fate and good fortune. Many superstitions have come from mythology, where omens were common. Superstitions live on because they have been passed on from generation to generation. Even today, where direct evidence and facts outweigh superstitious beliefs, there are probably very few people who can categorically deny that they do not at least secretly harbor a slight belief in one or two superstitions. CLAIM I grew up doing some crazy things, but to me they weren’t so crazy. There are many superstitions my family believes in that are among our Mexican traditions. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I realized my beliefs were indeed superstitious. Many of these beliefs come from deep in our roots and are still practiced in our family today. I realized the magic and also the chaos of believing in extreme superstitions. As I became older, some superstitions I became a firm believer of while others were to silly for me to continue to practice. WARRANT Many superstitions stem from the same human trait that causes us to believe in monsters and ghosts; when our brains can't explain something...

...Animal Cruelty There are many things that are illegal in this country such as; drugs, theft and animal cruelty to name a few. These laws are almost always broken especially animal abuse. For me this is considered one of the worst things that a person can do to an animal because animals can’t defend themselves, people just abuse them for the fun of it or it could also be neglect. What can be done to stop such cruelty against animals? What exactly is animal cruelty? According to Stacy Wolf, vice president of the ASPCA there is no simple answer because animal cruelty is defined differently from state to state. Offenses that are considered against animals include abuse, neglect, animal fighting, abandonment and practicing veterinary medicine on animals without a license. Wolf also states that in every state the laws for animal cruelty are quite different but cover almost any animal. For example, “New York law covers “ every living creature except a human being”, while California law covers “every dumb creature”.” (Wolf). These states are quite blunt on explaining their laws against animal cruelty. But Arizona gives more of an explanation on which animals are protected under the law which are mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. There are felony provisions for animal cruelty in forty-seven states excluding Idaho, North Dakota, and South Dakota. But before all of these laws were in the forty-seven states, in 1986 only four states had laws against animal cruelty. The human...

...The Validity of Sports Massage Treatments with Regards To Current Practices Therapeutic sports massage in the context of sports specific injuries and rehabilitation, has been said to not only improve the physical attributes of certain structures and muscles within the human body, but to also have a strong psychological effect for an individual helping them overcome injury or increasing their injury prevention rate while helping to optimise performance (Galloway, 2004). In light of this it can be assumed that every person irrespective of whether they play sport or not, would benefit highly from some form of massage therapy (Alvarado, 2002). To assess whether or not sports massage is an effective method of treatment or is in actual fact just a psychological treatment that has no real impact on the body, it is necessary to observe and evaluate the conducted research of current practitioners and other researchers that provide valid arguments to either strengthen or weaken the claim for more massage to be performed. The proposed benefits and hindrances will need to be highlighted within recent literature alongside the credibility of the sources that the research is derived from, as only if a source is deemed to be reliable can the research be seen as potential evidence to back up discussed points and reasoning. This review of literature will also set out to identify any potential future research points that could be taken to highlight and eradicate...

Functionalism – The theory that all aspects of a society serve a function and are necessary for the survival of that society. This links to This links to health as you are responsible for your own health and wellbeing and it is your responsibility to get better This links to ill health as they often fail to recognise a mental health problem, because of this it could get progressively worse and they could become very unwell and have a low self-esteem. Marxism – Society structure that is based on economic power and how wealthy you are. This has two social classes, the rich and the poor. This links to This links to health as rich people get cared for quicker. This is because they have the money to be able to get private health care. For example a poor person would have to go to a standard hospital and will have to wait hours to be seen to where as a rich person with private health care will be seen to straight away as there are less people waiting. This links to ill health as the believe that if the doctors do not find an illness then there is not one there, this means that they could have a serious health problem which a doctor may not have spotted and because they believe that there is not one there they could develop a serious illness and...

...Destinee’ Parker Ms.Tomlinson Intro to Comp. 11 November 2013 Legalizing Marijuana Marijuana was not known to be illegal at a point in time; back in 7,000 B.C it was legal. Marijuana also known as the hemp plant had a number of uses such as; woven fabric from hemp, food, cloth, rope, and much more. A man by the name Harry J. Anslinger came along, who seeked career opportunity with the Bureau of Narcotics. He didn’t feel as if cocaine would be enough to get his company up and starting as fast as he wanted, so he took on marijuana and started working on making it illegal at the federal level. Anslinger stated “There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.” Anslinger soon became the first drug czar a person who deals with direct drug-control propaganda in the United States. Anslinger began making up these stories about how marijuana was the cause of gang of boys raping two teenagers girls and how a sixteen-year-old killing his whole family. By 1937 the Bureau set two important steps, first a plan to get from Congress to pass a new law that it would be under federal control on marijuana and its distributions. Second, any forms of media would mention the cleaning up hundreds of acres of marijuana. As years passed the use of marijuana was...
