Child neglect and abuse are serious issues that may induce lasting adverse effects on the victims. In the US, nearly five kids die daily at the hands of abusers (Child Help, 2012). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2010), over 3 million cases of child neglect and abuse were filed in 2008. As the numbers continue to rise, however, the incidences reported in nursing appear to decline. In a review of cases of child mistreatment reported by healthcare providers, researchers mentioned that twenty-one percent of all suspected cases were never reported (Eads, 2013). Thus, child ...

Dementia is a package of signs and symptoms which include personality change, impaired intellectual functions, and memory loss which come as a result of trauma to the brain or disease (Godbolt et al. S247). Unfortunately, these changes severely affect independence, relationships, and daily living. However, they do not count as part and parcel of normal aging. There are numerous forms of dementia which include vascular and mixed dementia but Alzheimer’s disease happens to be the most common type (Mitchell 443). A person affected by dementia portrays a noticeable decline in remembering, learning, communication and problem-solving. Often, these changes ...

<Institution> Children are our nation’s future. As cliché as it may sound, the meaning of this statement remains true. The way that children are being raised and taken care of today will greatly impact the coming years. This is because their circumstances as children will contribute to the kind of adults that they will become in the future. However, it is a fact that many children of today continue to face harsh realities due to abuse and neglect. Many have become victims of people who do not care about the impact of their actions and the effect ...

Mental wellbeing has in the recent past attracted a lot of attention from stakeholders in the health industry after they noted that holistic caring of a patient must involve ensuring mental wellness. In the past, this section of healthcare was overlooked, as mental diseases were not considered ‘illnesses’ but were rather thought to be associated with witchcraft. As a result, any person exhibiting signs of mental illness was shunned and secluded from the community and family members, until he/she passed on. Mental healthcare has as a result lagged behind in terms of providing quality care services to affected patients. ...

An open minded approach is undertaken to explore the influence of family, and to present different perspectives that can be applied for a better understanding of the topic. The context of family ...

Associations are diverse between tasks. For instance, an individual can be impaired on one task as well as on the other tasks. This aids in the supposition that it is necessary for cognitive processes to carry out the two tasks. The most important type of association is the double association. In this type, the individual may create an association in the area where they are impaired on one task but functions normally on the other. On the other hand, another individual conducts one task normally yet has impaired function on the other task. Generally, therapists and neuroscientists have recognized ...

Hebrews

In Hebrews 2:1-4, this passage of the Bible speaks of our spiritual well-being and the importance of not straying away from the Holy word. It teaches many lessons within this small passage. “The Biblical verse is giving Christians a command, or a duty” (Piper). We will review four various reasons for the exhortation the Bible speaks of. “The first reason focuses on the significant factor of danger when we drift from our salvation and neglect it” (Stroud). It can become possible to depart from the teachings of God so much to the point where it might be impossible for ...

Abstract

In June 2016, the Pentagon reviewed and revised the Department of defense’s accession disqualifications with the effect of lifting the ban on transgender populations from serving in the military, but the debate on the suitability of the new policy has grown even more heated. This paper argues that barring transgender individuals from serving their nation in the most selfless way possible is at odds with both the constitution and the values that the military fights to defend. Given the large number of transgender personnel already serving or having served in the military, there is no reason to believe ...

Introduction

The effects of child abuse are risk factors for later lifespan development. There are public policies in force about this issue. There are extreme risk factors associated with child abuse that may not be prevented by public policy. Both internalized and externalized problems that can result from child abuse often lead to overall adjustment issues (Leeson, 2011). Victims of child abuse often suffer an inability to accept their abuse, as well as having difficulties with transitioning through other life experience (Leeson, 2011). Intervention can also be harmful to child development. Ill-treatment and neglect is a public issue because children ...

Introduction

The child welfare organizations are objectified on assessing the prevalence of child abuse among the referred cases in order to prevent the occurrence of future abuse among the children who are identified at a high risk of neglect and abuse.

The assessment by child welfare organizations are incorporated by the risk assessment tools in which the explicit criteria and undeviating approaches are used to derive the results. These results are derived ...

Within the Context of World History

Racism and misconceptions about the peoples of Africa have resulted in the neglect of Africa’s historical reality ever since the field of history began to emerge as a structured discipline during the eighteenth century (Reynolds, “So Many Africas, So Little Time: Doing Justice to Africa in the World History Survey”). Since Greek and Roman times and up until the European Renaissance there was mutual respect between Europeans and the subjects of black kingdoms they met (Clarke ‘Why African History?”). By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, however, most European historians, philosophers and political scientists had adopted a Eurocentric attitude ...

The elderly are some of society’s most vulnerable citizens. They may suffer from a variety of illnesses besides normal aging. Thus, it is incumbent upon health care workers to provide their elderly patients with the utmost care. Taking care of the elderly comprises ethical, legal, and financial issues. Ethically, all workers in a health care setting have a responsibility to provide their elderly patients with excellent care, and must strive to assist, to the best of their abilities, their patients with their health needs on a daily basis. Thus, in order to fulfill the ethical responsibilities of a ...

Introduction

Climate change is among the significant factors impacting ecological diversity on a worldwide scale. The growth of industries and the increasing human population globally have resulted in a rise in the volume of greenhouse gasses, which scientists have argued are the greatest contributors to the menace.

Moreover, when one harms an animal or kills it without legal consent from the owner, they commit a crime. This paper will provide an insight into what dog fighting involves and the consequences that one suffers for animal cruelty ...

Today we are in the middle of a seeming “race-war” between civilians and law enforcement. Allegations are flung wildly, almost on a daily basis, concerning the use of excessive force by police officers as headlines continue to report abuse, and even deaths at the hands of those who are sworn to protect. It is considered more disconcerting because it is over twenty years after the 1992 L.A. riots, which brought the public’s attention to serious issues within law enforcement, and demanded change. Today, we are not seeing much of that change and the majority of the violence, if ...

ABSTRACT

Forensic psychology has grown in popularity and the assessments these professionals conduct can be incredibly beneficial in determining a criminal defendant or offender’s mental stability, ability to stand trial and the level of threat they may represent. That being said in order for forensic psychologists to provide these assessments it is required that a number of the Ethical Standards Code, which is the core structure of modern psychological practice, be augmented or adapted to allow the psychologist to be beholden to the law enforcement who hires them and not directly to the subject; they must be able to ...

White collar crimes are often opposed to conventional crimes. The result of that opposition is that white collar crimes are said to be not so dangerous to the society as conventional crimes. Therefore, the issue of white collar crime arouses more limited public and formal response. Besides, its coverage in mass media and research is not as frequent as that of conventional crime. The objective of this paper is to compare these two types of crimes and show that the neglect of white collar crime issue can lead to such serious consequences as economic and political crises.

Dealing with matters concerning the abuse of children has been one of the more complex issues that both police and policy makers have had to face in recent years. The reason for this is that by law it is quite difficult to prove that there is sufficient abuse to justify infringing on a parent’s rights and separate them from their own child. That being said, separating a child from an abuse parent in many instances is the right course of action; however, it becomes a complicated legal battle to justify taking the child and also find a way ...

Human Rights for Orphans and Abandoned Children without Adequate Care

The issue of human rights of children is regulated by the Convention on the Rights of the Child with its Protocols. They refer to the protection of a child, prohibition of child labor and other issues that are fundamentally important and protect children’s dignity. However, some categories of children require special attention and care with this respect. The human rights of orphans and abandoned children constitute a specific issue, as they have fewer chances to be protected by parents and relatives. Therefore, as a violation of their rights may seem easier, these children need more legal protection. The ...

Personal Reflection:

Abstract Cultural bias is a condition that can have great effect upon the education of a student. In Canada it has been seen that while immigrants are quite welcome and even encouraged to settle within the provinces, they are still seen as second-class in several ways. Two of those ways involve their place in education and their cultural identities. While Canada is renowned for its acceptance of many various races and peoples, it is not as well known for its quiet assimilation of its immigrants into the Canadian culture. Immigrants are not paid as much, do not always receive ...

As adults, there are times when we reflect on our childhood years and feel very emotional about situations whereby those vested with our care and protection failed to consider what was in our best interest. More often than not, children feel that their voices are not being heard, that they are being treated unfairly or that their real problems are trivialized and sometimes ignored. Child advocacy is all about speaking out on what is in the best interests of children, their needs and rights. Some of the issues in child advocacy include child abuse, foster care, parental substance abuse, ...

Child investigation is a very tricky activity owing to age sensitivity of the child which, if wrongly done, it could have adverse ramifications on the child. However, this action is necessary as it provides a substantial basis for evidence collection during the investigation (Hammer, Moynihan, and Pagliaro, 2013). The fact that child testimony and evidence carries significant weight in terms of evidence also opens it up to instances which are sensitive to the child that may result in collection of the wrong evidence provided as a result of various causes such as pleasing the interviewer, forgetfulness, or failure to ...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the different approaches to the care and treatment of pets and other animals by assessing the argument for treating animals as well as possible and the argument that ...

Introduction

Adolescence is a time when a person’s physical, psychological, social and cognitive growth is of great importance. During this time, the person is not a child and they are not yet an adult and some of the choices made at this time in regards to their health, lifestyle, and attitudes can be continued into adulthood. People in this stage are greatly influenced both academically and socially by social interactions. Some relationships established in academic institutions with peers and authority figures are said to be major socializing agents, especially for middle school students. Even though school is considered a ...

Abstract

Do the imbalances in current accounts still matter in today’s deep global financial markets that exhibit two-way gross economic flows that dwarf the new outcomes provided by current accounts? Contrasting the adult perception of the world and complete markets, extreme current account imbalances indicate severe financial and macroeconomic stresses, particularly as was the case in the mid-2000s. The increasingly massive valuation differences in nations’ net global investment standards and positions, as well as risk allocations, cannot be relied upon to offset the variations in regional wealth systematically as implied in the current accounts. The same conditions that warrant ...

ABSTRACT

Child pornography is generally considered an almost unspeakable perversion. John Doe is a 21-year old Caucasian male that has been arrested and tried for possession and distribution of this material. A postarrest mental health assessment shows that his main problems are social and emotional in nature. The criminal postarrest assessment hypothesizes that this criminal activity may be due to social awkwardness. These two differ in nature because the former looks to establish a mental evaluation, exploring the personal aspects of this activity, while the second looks for motives in order to contrast his behavior with the law. He has ...

The Tuskegee Experiment was a scientific research study conducted on 399 black men between 1932 and 1972. Starting in 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service started an experiment with a vaguely defined mission. Taking mostly illiterate and poor black men from a rural southern area, they offered the prospect of free medical care and described the medical attention as an effort to cure “bad blood”, when in fact all 399 participants were suffering from tertiary syphilis. None of the participants were ever told that they carried the disease nor were they offered any form of ...

Introduction

Foster children represent a vulnerable part of the human population that require special legal protection due to their exposure to risks such as mistreatment, rape, sexual abuse or assault, criminal behavior, child, child labor and neglect. Hence, the existence of a strong foster care system backed by legal and institutional frameworks is important to ensure maximum protection afforded to children placed under foster care. Foster children are usually children with no families or parents or those children whose parents can no longer take responsibility of their care and protection. In the US, each state has a Department of Child ...

It was in the summer of 1936 that the idea of General Adaptation Syndrome (G.A.S) was first introduced in the British Journal Nature.

Selye theorized that in the process of coping with stress, the body passes through the three main stages being the ‘Alarm reaction,' ‘adaptation’ and ‘stress.' In the words of Selye, stress could be taken to mean anything in between food ...

The understanding and perception of the peculiarities of self-development are the most important issues when discussing human individuality. This paper is to examine social, physical and cognitive changes in middle adulthood for both women and men. The changes acquired with age influence every muscle ...

Child abuse is a concern to everyone. It involves child maltreatment of a child who is below 18 years by a caregiver, parent or any custodian.
