...Jennifer Krahenbuhl English 102 Patricia McKeown September 1st 2014 Pros and Cons to Vaccinations in Children Almost everyone has heard of the benefits and dangers of childhood vaccines. Parents are especially eager to do what is best for their child to protect him or her. Some people have different opinions on what the best specifically entails when it comes to childhood vaccines. Vaccinations are a controversial discussion as parents question whether it should be mandatory or optional when they feel the cons outweigh the pros. The government says it is the right thing to do for parents and their families to remain safe from illnesses and diseases. However, there have been opinions of opposition voiced by parents and health advocates about whether or not it is worth the risk of being sick once vaccinated and whether these vaccinations actually work. The argument on both sides range from First Amendment right issues all the way to disabling health concerns. This essay will serve to examine and elaborate both the positive and negative perspectives on vaccinations in infants and children and why certain parents hesitate in vaccinating their children. The center of disease and control prevention(CDCP) claim there are five important vaccinations every child should receive. The chicken pox vaccine, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) Vaccine, the Hepatitis vaccine, the haemophilus influenza type B(HIB) Vaccine, and pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. The chicken pox vaccine is probably...

...Death Penalty 1 The Death Penalty Student PHI 200 Instructor Date Death Penalty 2 The Death Penalty The death penalty is a decision that causes frustration and tension within society as there is a battle of its justification and validity. It seems to be a great divide between opinions of justification, retribution, and deserved punishment to the potential of killing an innocent person and simply the fact that execution is murder. Crime is an everyday threat to our lives and will always be, the questions is how do we deal with it and to what extent do we take the punishment. This has been a question that goes as far back as Biblical times. History tells us that capital punishment is an acceptable and efficient deterrent of crime. Even today the death penalty remains an effective punishment in some states for heinous crimes and murder, while others have abolished this penalty. The death penalty has been challenged in the realm that it is a violation of the Eighth Amendment, which states that the United States cannot use cruel and unusual punishment. Punishment itself is an infliction of suffering which is legal and somewhat cruel. It is not however unusual as it has long been used in history. During the eighteenth century B.C. the death penalty was codified for 25 different crimes, in the Fifth century B.C. death was the only penalty for all crimes. Death sentences were carried out by such means as crucifixion, drowning, beating to death, burning...

...Mental Illness and Homelessness When most people hear the term, "homeless" they more than likely initially think of the physical hardships of being without a home. If you're homeless, where do you sleep? What do you do without a bathroom, or a shower? How do you live without all of the everyday possessions most people take for granted, like a toothbrush or a comb or a child's beloved stuffed animal? Most People, however, do not consider the effects being homeless can have on a person's mental health. The stress that they endure and the depression that can overwhelm become secondary to their physical and material trials and tribulations. However, the mental effects are just as important, affecting the mind that is ultimately the powerhouse and control center for the body. Being mentally ill does not occur as a result of being homeless. Mental illness may just be more prominent among the homeless. Most people are mentally ill before they become homeless and are affected by their respective symptoms before they're out on the streets. Oftentimes as a result of their mental illness they are unable to keep up with their bills or take care of themselves. This is what leads to their being homeless. If someone was living in a home and seeing a doctor, then their symptoms could be under control. After becoming homeless, since they can't afford to see a doctor, their mental illness could surface more readily. Over 40 years have passed since many psychiatric institutions in the United...
