...Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Left untreated, anxiety disorders may become severely damaging and may affect his or her relationships, work performance, and or study ability.

In addition to inability to perform daily activities, anxiety may also cause decrease in self-esteem, drug abuse, and separation from loved ones ( Shiraev & Levy 2010) In the United States of America, the most common mental ailments are anxiety disorders.

...Mississippi Burning - Analysis Presentation The movie ”Mississippi Burning” is directed by Alan Parker and it was released in 1988. The movie is loosely based on the true story of the so-called ”Mississippi Burning” case, which took place in Mississippi, in 1964. Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe are playing the leading roles, where they play two agents, who must solve the case of three missing civil rights workers. The movie portrays the period of the USA during the 1960s, where segregation and racial discrimination especially in the South, were ubiquitous. Short summary In Mississippi in 1964 three civil rights workers are murdered brutally by the Ku Klux Klan. The bodies are hidden, and the local sheriff Pell closes the case under “missing persons”. Life goes on as nothing happened. But then two FBI agents arrive, in order to find the missing persons and solve the case. The Ku Klux Klan perceives their work as a provocation. Therefore they answer with murders and burnings of black people. The FBI agent’s battle turns into a showdown, where the case is solved, and the culprits are brought to justice. Title The title ”Mississippi Burning” has obviously not been chosen randomly. The word “burning” shall be a metaphor for the destruction, which is caused by racism. Throughout the film the Ku Klux Klan burns down Negro-farms and houses, to scare and suppress them. That the Mississippi is mentioned in the title is because the story takes place in the South, where the...

...Chapter 1 Handicapped by History Brief Summary As the first chapter in this long analytical book, chapter one serves as the foundation for the rest of the novel, with a basic premise that “history textbooks make fool out of the students.” It shows how portrayal of historical figures and events in the best light for the reputation of United States leads to biased and distorted historical education. Author’s Viewpoint Loewen uses two examples—Helen Keller and Woodrow Wilson—in order to illustrate his point, and I would like to focus on the latter for this analysis. Loewen states that while Woodrow Wilson is often presented as the founder of League of Nations following World War I and the leader of progressive causes like women’s suffrage, textbooks rarely make any reference to racial segregation of federal government and his military interventions in foreign nations (22). Wilson intervened in countries like Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Nicaragua, and, which set up dictatorship in those nations, but surprisingly documentary evidences only emphasize his role in withdrawing the troops, which sounds ironic considering that he “wasn’t” the one who put the troops in at the first place (25). Instead, textbooks portray his intentions as building up friendship or take a step further and blame the invaded nations themselves (24). Next argument that Loewen makes is that Wilson was a racist who effectively closed the Democratic Party to African Americans, a fact that...

...Child Abuse - A Hidden Epidemic in America There is a well-known but grossly underreported crime that is occurring daily, not only abroad, but right here in the United States as well. This crime not only affects a person at the time of the event, but for a lifetime. Although there are better attempts being made to further understand its diversity and complexity, the question still lies, is enough being done to control and prevent it from happening. This crime is child exploitation and abuse. Though it seems absurd to most, it is certainly happening worldwide and there is documented evidence that will be explored in this research paper. By examining this documented evidence I will try to determine the roots and causes of this despicable crime and uncover some avenues and characteristics that lead to its continued behavior. I hope to combine my sources to paint a picture of the epidemic of child abuse today and throughout history in America. I hope to examine the risks factors for child abuse and identify ways to educate parents, child care providers, educators and any other persons who may come into contact with our most vulnerable citizens, our children, on how we can prevent child abuse from occurring in the future. The federal government defines child abuse and neglect, at a minimum, any recent act or failure to act of the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, or an act or failure...

...Executive Summary The U.S. debt and its budget surplus and deficit(s) has been an on-going discussion way back from the foundation of America. America started borrowing money during the American Revolution. It wasn't officially considered a national debt until the Independence and the declaration of the U.S. Constitution. By the year of 1835, they were completely debt-free due to several budget surpluses and an effective budget planning. However, the budget surplus didn't last that long as the borrowing of money started again right after a year. The U.S. borrows money from Federal Reserve, U.S. Individuals and Institutions, Social Security Trust Fund, and other foreign nations and governments by issuing bonds for sale through the U.S. Treasury. Throughout history, some of the key reasons for the accumulation of the national debt was due to wars such as; WWI, WWII, Cold War, etc., drastic tax-cuts, The Great Depression, economic recessions, military and defence spending, welfare programs, bail-outs of big corporations, etc. America is forced to borrow money every time when their expenses are more than their revenue. This borrowing of money ultimately puts a debt on the U.S. and its citizens. The majority of the U.S. debt is owned by Federal Reserve and other U.S. individuals and institutions like; Social Security Fund, etc. whereas the second largest holder of the U.S. debt is China followed by Japan. Both China and Japan own 1.1+ trillion of U.S. debt each. The major borrowing...

The Ethics of Genetic Screening” An Australian family with a son diagnosed with a rare disease called “Hyper IGM” which essentially is a congenital condition in which a person is born with a vital piece of his/her immune system missing requiring that they receive constant blood transfusions. In this case, the couple goes through a PGD procedure making another child with no disease to cure the oldest child.

...Revelation includes concepts taken from Isaiah, Psalms, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the apocalyptic Book of Enoch, which most Christians are not familiar. Ezekiel and Daniel serve as the backbone of Revelation. It must be noted that Revelation contains more Old Testament allusions than any other New Testament book. One may be wondering, "Why would the Apostle John, the author of Revelation, send seven churches a summary of Jewish prophecies?" Remembrance is a very critical part of Judaism. One must not forget, John was a Jew who practiced first century Judaism under the banner of Yeshua as the promised Messiah of Israel. Therefore what was important to first century Judaism was also important to John. Why is remembrance important to Judaism? It is common among Christians to think of prophecy as future predictions, but that is not always the case. To the Jewish mind, prophecy is often a proclamation of previously known truth serving as a call to return to Yahweh or not to repeat past mistakes. After writing instructions and warnings to the seven churches, the Apostle John included a summary of fulfilled Jewish prophecies as a tool to help those churches deal with persecution from Rome, and to understand their part in the Yahweh's plan for the redemption of His people. John wrote Revelation around themes of the second coming of Messiah as well as the New Earth and Temple, to give hope to the persecuted and to encourage the congregations to hold tight to righteousness, and not to fall away...
