Blindness and Deafness Essay Assignment

Blindness and Deafness

The sensory disabilities of hearing and vision loss can limit human functioning. Yet many individuals, who have these impairments, lead highly satisfactory lives and are able to adapt to and meet the demands of daily living. Helen Keller, both blind and deaf, reflected on her condition by saying, “Blindness separates us from things, but deafness separates us from people.” Consider her statement and decide to what extent you agree or disagree? How does blindness and deafness impact the lived experience of individuals? If you were in a position to choose one disability over the other, which would you choose and why?

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 your position on whether or not you agree with Helen Keller’s statement. Then explain whether blindness or deafness is more advantageous or limiting as a disability and explain why. Support your postings and responses with specific references to the literature and Learning Resources.

Amnesia or Nature vs Nurture Controversy

The Assignment:

Select one of the following topics and write a 5-page paper. Your paper must follow APA guidelines including proper citations of references:

Amnesia due to emotional trauma:

There is scientific consensus that amnesia can be caused by head trauma and other organic causes. More controversial is amnesia caused by emotional trauma. There is little or no experimental evidence for the psychodynamic mechanism of repression. Yet movies portray this as a common event. Do you believe that amnesia can be caused by emotional trauma? What possible underlying mechanism would explain this phenomenon in neurologic terms? What doubts are cast by researches on the validity of psychological amnesia? You must address both the pros and cons of this issue and demonstrate critical thinking, not just advocating one position over the other. Support your paper using the current literature. You may wish to refer to this week’s optional learning resources as a starting point.

Amnesia in Korsakoff’s syndrome:

Compare and contrast the amnesia associated with bilateral medial-temporal lobectomy and that associated with Korsakoff ’s syndrome. Support your paper using the current literature.

The UK has one of the highest cesarean rates in the world

According to the World Health Organisation , The UK has one of the highest cesarean rates in the world. Discuss this statement sociologically, drawing on your knowledge about the medicalisation process (and particularly unnecessary medical intervention) to explain why this might be the case.

A cesarean section (CS) is a surgical process where
birth is through an incision in the wall of the uterus,
rather than through the vagina. In the 1950s, 3% of
births in England were by CS. By the early 1980s this
had risen to 10% and in the 1990s rates started to climb rapidly, from 12% in 1990 to 21% in 2001. These national figures mask local variations
where the CS rate ranges from 10% to 30% between
hospitals. The number of elective CS (where the
decision to carry out CS is taken before labour starts) has risen more slowly than the number of emergency CS.

Effects of climate change on waterborne diseases

Need future research on the Effects of climate change on waterborne diseases in Africa. Find research articles that may discuss where the research is heading and what will be the next steps to address controversies or questions arising from current literature. 1-2 pages would be great.

Water-Borne Diseases and Their Effects Due to Climate Changes in Africa
Department of Biological Sciences

Abstract

African countries are some of the most vulnerable to climatic changes in the world. Climate change alters water nutrient levels, temperature, precipitation, water and air movement and other factors that are detrimental to human health. Due to the vulnerability of African countries, problems increase in other areas of African that make it hard to deal with the additional health challenges posed by climate change. Changes in weather patterns and climatic conditions then affect a population with an illness that makes climate change even harder to manage. Consequently, the rising temperatures, increased frequency and the intensity of extreme weather events can directly impact health and can affect the rate of infections of both infectious and vector-borne diseases. The effects of climate change are thus negative and affect health globally.
Key words: climate change, health, vulnerability, temperature, water, Africa, weather

Mental Health Services Research Paper

Mental Health Services

Mental health services are an important and specialized area that is experiencing a serious problem in the U.S. health care system. A major problem in gaining support for the care and treatment of people with mental illness is that the diagnosis, treatment, and cure are not as precise, certain, and assured as other types of illness. Treatment of mental illness consists of helping patients live with their condition and cannot promise a cure.

A number of different professionals provide mental health services in a variety of settings. In this module, you studied the role of mental health service providers and how they interact with mental health patients.

Select a mental health profession that you would like to research. In a 1-2 page paper, written in APA format, address the following:

Explain the educational requirements.
Explain the job duties.
Explain the setting in which they are most commonly found.

Culture of HIV/AIDS in Russia Essay

Culture of HIV/AIDS in Russia

Description

Analyze the issue of HIV in Russia within the framework of the country’s cultural dynamics. Example, cultural practices, media representation, gender relationship, anything else that has to do with culture and describes how it lead to the HIV epidemic in Russia.

The Russian Federation (Russia) has the largest HIV epidemic in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Unlike most countries, Russia’s HIV epidemic is growing, with new infections rising by between 10 and 15% each year

By mid-2017, 1.16 million people had been diagnosed with HIV in Russia. However, this does not equate to the number of people currently living with HIV as it does not account for AIDS-related deaths or people who have HIV but are undiagnosed. Although Russia has collected extensive data on HIV since 1987, official estimates for these measures remain under reported and inconsistent.

Specific Disorder for Mental Health Problems

Specific Disorder for Mental Health Problems Paper on Specific Disorder. During the first week of class students will choose mental health problems that are typical of those social workers address in mental health settings.

NOTE: To complete this assignment you will need to create a specific “client” in order to best identify which assessment instrument would be most appropriate for the problem. I strongly encourage you to present the details of the specific “client” to the instructor for her “ok” on this “client”. In this assignment students will explore the current “state of science” regarding social work interventions related to the identified problem. Students are to explore interventions that are supported by evidence, rather than “practice wisdom”. Students should therefore seek literature reviews and meta-analyses for their given topic as well as current research studies. In a 10-page paper, in addition to presenting the results of their search, they will present one intervention (suggested as a preferred intervention) in “how to” fashion related to their “client”. That is, the administration of the intervention should relate to that specific client- not how it is administered generically.
