Lastly the direct and future influence the healthy and unhealthy behaviors experienced during early and middle adulthood. Social and Intimate relationship change In early adulthood, it’s a time of independence, identity seeking, and lifestyle forming. During this time, kids are graduating leaving their parents home starting new relationships and developing a life of their own. Erikson believed that people need constant contact with others throughout their lives, from birth to death, whether that contact is romantic intimacy or a relationship with friends and family. The time has changed where young adults were getting married fresh out of high school. Now middle adults are waiting until mid thirty’s are longer to have children and get married.

...Islam and science The road to renewal THE sleep has been long and deep. In 2005 Harvard University produced more scientific papers than 17 Arabic-speaking countries combined. The world’s 1.6 billion Muslims have produced only two Nobel laureates in chemistry and physics. Both moved to the West: the only living one, the chemist Ahmed Hassan Zewail, is at the California Institute of Technology. By contrast Jews, outnumbered 100 to one by Muslims, have won 79. The 57 countries in the Organisation of the Islamic Conference spend a puny 0.81% of GDP on research and development, about a third of the world average. America, which has the world’s biggest science budget, spends 2.9%; Israel lavishes 4.4%. Many blame Islam’s supposed innate hostility to science. Some universities seem keener on prayer than study. Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad, for example, has three mosques on campus, with a fourth planned, but no bookshop. Rote learning rather than critical thinking is the hallmark of higher education in many countries. The Saudi government supports books for Islamic schools such as “The Unchallengeable Miracles of the Qur’an: The Facts That Can’t Be Denied By Science” suggesting an inherent conflict between belief and reason. Many universities are timid about courses that touch even tangentially on politics or look at religion from a non-devotional standpoint. Pervez Hoodbhoy, a renowned Pakistani nuclear scientist, introduced a course on science and world affairs, including...

...Examination of Clinical Psychology Paper Psy 480 Dr. Gurinder Bolina Examination of Clinical Psychology Paper Clinical Psychology has been a major part of our history from the Greek philosophers to Sigmund Freud to our modern day psychologist and philosophers; our knowledge about psychology and how information has been drawn from others has been evolving. During Clinical Psychology, psychologists find new clinical interventions by gathering information and philosophical aspects through data. In this paper, there will be not the history of this psychology but the differences between the medical health professions and clinical psychology. According to James, J. and James, M. (1991), “Although, various distinctions exist between clinical psychologists and other psychological disciplines, all endure to promote a better quality of life from and for the human spirit.” The History of Clinical Psychology The Greeks developed the first ideas of psychology. Three philosophers named Aristotle, Hippocrates, and Plato believed that a person’s individual body reacts from the individual’s soul being in charge and that if a person becomes ill ;especially, physically ill means that the person was suffering something within their soul that is resulting in them being this way. According to Plante, T. G. (2011), “The way the Greeks were able to understand how disease transported was not controlled by the gods but, because of social, biological, and psychological effects exchanged between...

...Running head: Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s Disease Brenda Silva Waubonsee Community College PSY 205 Research Paper Mr. Scott Hollenback October 27, 2011 Alzheimer Disease As Kevin Arnold quotes, “Memory is a way of holding on to things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose.” Memories are the things we uphold. Whether it’s bad or good, those memories are engraved in us and can’t be stolen from us. But what if as time goes by, those memories are losing? Worst, you’re even losing your language skills, ability to recognize familiar things and you feel sense of depression. This means, as a person grows old he/she experiences deterioration in one’s self. Now, we are currently living in the age of technology. Our advancements in the past few decades overshadow everything learned in the last 2000 years. This increase has bought with it a large increase in disease afflicting the elderly community. AD once thought to be a natural part of aging, is a severely debilitating form of mental dementia. Although some other types of dementia are curable or effectively treatable, there is currently no cure for Alzheimer. A general overview of AD including the clinical description, diagnosis, and progression of symptoms, helps one to further understand the treatment and care of patients.

...Examination of Clinical Psychology Paper Scientific history has provided extraordinary events for medical research and development, including discovering of psychology and other natural sciences. The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates was the first scientist to explain the correlation between disease and dysfunctions (Plante, 2005). Hippocrates proposed that there was imbalances in four fluids humans have, therefore emotions, and psychological malfunctions can be developed in humans and require special treatments to help to balance the fluids back to normal. Greek scientist joined the Hippocrates studies and did more research to find relationships and seek for the right treatment. Plato and Aristotle were among the scientists who formulated that some physical illness can result from the soul (Plante, 2005, P. 34). Unfortunately, during the Middle Ages many diseases were untreated because most mental issues were related to the soul and medical help was never seek. It was believe that insanity was just a lost soul in hell and that there was no cure for the individual. Sigmund Freud had a better explanation about the mind/body association by generating a better understanding to have a full understanding of illness in relation to abnormal behavior (Plante, 2005, P. 46). It was clear that Psychology was developing a huge impact in the medicine field but it was until 1879 when Wilhelm Wundt opened the first laboratory in Germany to increase the research and development in the Psychology...

...(optional) Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences. (250) Shortly after I moved to the United States, I enrolled in an origami class. The art of paper folding was familiar to me but also difficult to master. I remember my struggles to keep up with the class and worries that I wouldn’t make any progress. Squash-folds and folding diagonal halves were steps that I had a very hard time doing. I often fell behind in class, or someone would help me with the step. My fear of my inadequate skills followed me home. When I came home from school, I practiced on my own, sometimes asking my mom for guidance, but often, working for hours on end alone. Gradually, my folds became more precise and I deeply enjoyed the process of transforming paper into art. As vice president of the origami club, I teach members these techniques in hopes to impart my appreciation for origami. The weeks before the Origami USA...

...Four new studies offer powerful evidence of the dangers of smoking and the health benefits of quitting or not being exposed to secondhand smoke. Smoking in the UK– Between 1996 and 2001 the Million Women Study started following more than one million women aged 50 to 65 years of age. In a report published in the Lancet, trial investigators, including renowned epidemiologist Richard Peto, found that 12-year mortality was significantly higher in women with a history of smoking compared to women who never smoked (rate ratio 2.76, CI 2.71-2.81). Smokers, the authors calculated, lose 10 years of life. The good news is that stopping smoking before the age of 40 reduces the excess mortality by 90%. Smoking in Japan– The Life Span Study, published in BMJ, was started in 1950 and has followed more than 65,000 men and women in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The results were consistent with the Million Women Study in the UK: the rate ratio for mortality was more than doubled for smokers compared to nonsmokers both for men (2.21, CI 1.97-2.48) and for women (2.61, CI 1.98-3.44). The investigators also reported that stopping smoking before age 35 eliminated almost all of the risk associated with smoking. Smoke-free legislation meta-analysis– Smoking is not just a personal decision that has individual health effects. A new meta-analysis published in Circulation found that smoke-free legislation results in immediate reductions in hospital admissions or deaths for coronary events (RR .848,...

...infection that is associated to many cancers. It is primarily transmitted through sexual contact and less intimate skin-to-skin contact. Preventions have been implemented to raise awareness of the virus. The first vaccine for HPV approved as a widespread use in the US was in 2006. The virus acts to infect the keratinocytes in the skin and mucosal membrane. Other areas the HPV acts as a carcinogen are the cervix, anus, penis, vulva, vagina, oropharynx, benign genital and cutaneous warts, respiratory papillomatosis, and nasal or oral papilloma. Some researchers have concluded that the HPV infection which is more common during the active period of age is directly related to certain cancers. Researchers have found that HPV is associated with certain types of cancers and also have found that HPV can have no association with certain cancers. The research we did will explain the various cancers associated with HPV and attempt to answer the question “is HPV the leading cause of cancer?” In the United Stated and around the world, cancer is and continues to be a very serious disease that affects millions of people. Head and neck cancers are “the sixth most common cancer in the world” (Lajer et al. 2012). While the link between HPV and cervical cancer has been established; it is still unclear to researchers how HPV is related to head and neck cancer. The authors assert that alcohol and tobacco used to be the main cause of head and neck cancer; however, there has been a decrease in the tobacco-alcohol...
