According to a study done by Amanda Lenhart, 87% of children who are between the ages of 12 and 17 are using the internet on […]
Along with numerous college campuses, Plymouth State University (PSU) falls short when it comes to suicide prevention programs. The campus not only lacks awareness, but also appropriate training and resources.

Some individuals are not aware of the warning signs and risk factors regarding suicidality, or they overlook them, minimizing the potential […]

Epidemiology The suicide crisis in our country has shown prevalence for over twenty years going back to 1996. Although it has been an issue for as long as it has happened, over the past decade, suicide has become one of the main top 10 causes of death in the United States (Greenwald, 2018). In 2016 alone 45,000 people committed suicide. (Greenwald, 2018) That number alone does not include the number of those who attempted suicide and did not succeed. If […]
There are many important matters that are going on in the world that are connected to historical events discussed in the class. Even though they happen during different time periods, the events can be related to each other. A lot of situations that happened in the past is similar to some events that happens in the present. A contemporary news event is the attack during a religious meeting in Afghanistan. This can be related to the 9/11 event that happened […]

This article discussed research conducted to determine the mental health problems, substance use, and suicide ideations among teen males and females that have been cyberbullied. The researchers wanted to know if cyberbullying affected males or females more. Cyberbullying among teens is becoming more and more widespread because of the increase of internet availability and the increased use of social media. Working in a middle school, I constantly hear about things that students are posting about their peers on social media. […]
The libertarian notion of freedom is grounded in self ownership and the fact that people have certain rights; one of those rights being that you should be allowed to do what you want with what you own. Others should not be allowed to stop you, and this is why libertarians hate paternalistic laws and moral legislation laws. Those laws could potentially get in the way of people doing what they want with what they own if it clashes with what […]

The specialty track I selected is Family nurse practitioner (FNP). Depression or significant burdensome confusion (MDD) is an ailment that can confine the individual’s capacity to play out their day by day exercises, for example, dozing, eating, and taking care of school or work duties (Kodal et al., 2018). My theory of decision for this strength track is Rogers’ Person-Centered theory. Rogers’ patient-fixated theory centers around the patient as a person. The theory features that everyone has the ability or […]

On March 24, 2018 millions of people, celebrities, and students from around the world came to march to the White House to get their voice heard about enforcing stricter gun control due to numerous mass shootings, including the Parkland shooting on February 14, 2018 at Stoneman Douglas High School.

September 11th, 2001 was a historical event executed by nineteen airplane hijackers and ended up with two thousand nine hundred and seventy seven victims. The department of homeland security was created as a response to 9/11. Homeland security is a combination of twenty two different governmental agencies and is designed to protect America from threats and terrorism attacks. I believe that the creation of Homeland Security in direct response to 9/11 was a good idea because Homeland Security is a […]

One of the most renowned conspiracy theories involves the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The President was shot by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald. Contrary to the widely accepted belief that Lee Harvey Oswald planned this alone, conspiracy theorists believe that he planned the assassination as part of a larger group […]
In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the literary device known as foreshadowing is very present throughout act 1. Many moments in act 1 can become possibly recurring themes throughout the play. For example, in scene 2 Hamlet expresses that he has no desire to continue living. He says, “O, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt,/ Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,/ Or that the Everlasting had not fixed/ His canon ‘gainst self-slaughter!”. Due to his father’s death and his […]

Another perfect entity Socrates has […]
There are many reasons why life skills should be taught in public schools. For instance, when you go into the workforce you will need to be polite and get along with your coworkers. How are parents supposed to teach their children to get along with others if they only ever see their own family? The answer is they can’t, in public schools children can learn to get along with everyone, not just their family or friends. Several parents work a […]
Some research has shown that there are two main coping mechanisms for depression: professional help (therapy) and prescriptions drugs. I believe that consulting a psychologist is the best mechanism for depression because a psychiatrist will push meds, instead, of really trying to evaluate the problem. For example, PTSD patients are influenced to take antidepressants along with other drugs rather than talking about what they had seen during the war to elevate symptoms. Talking to an individual who knows nothing about […]

If you’re very lucky, you will never experience a traumatic event. Unfortunately, about 60% of men and 50% of women experience one in their lifetime. For those who have, the thoughts and feelings associated with this trauma may linger for days or weeks, but with time and care, the symptoms usually lessen. Fear is a natural self protection mechanism designed to keep us out of harm. However, a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, or prolonged exposure to life threatening situations, […]

Also it proves the connection of her to her mother and how […]
Social media plays a negative role in the way we look at our bodies or the way others look at them. When people look at their bodies and are ashamed of them they will usually photoshop their pictures to try and make their bodies perfect. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) discovered that 30 million people of all ages have or are suffering from an eating disorder in the United States. They are doing this to […]
