.... occurred in their lives. An important change in a relationship, school or body image may contribute to a teenagers' tendency to commit suicide. The death of a loved one, the loss of a valued relationship, and the loss of self esteem are some significant losses which might be a factor in teen suicide("The Real World [Suicide: Facts]," 1). Perceived abuse such as physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, social abuse or neglect can lead to self-murder("Teen Suicide," 3). Significant changes, losses, and abuse can promote suicidal tendencies. Few suicidal people have some type of depression, yet those who have one can be provoked to commit suicide. There are two main t ....

.... to understand ourselves in order to prevent problems and conflicts caused by disagreements between ourselves. Nowadays we live in difficult periods; many conflicts, crimes and other problems occur very often. We don't really realize it but most of these problems are due to our lack of understanding each other and even ourselves... In this sense, we could say that humans are not aware of their own blindness. To prove this I'll be analyzing two books we read (Sphere & The Left Hand of Darkness) and a movie we saw (Enemy Mine) trying to see what kind of ideas each story shows about human nature. In a first place, Sphere tries to emphasize the idea that most of us tend to ignore ....

.... there was Robert Koch, who developed a method of isolating and growing bacteria. Scientists tried developing drugs that could kill microbes, but they proved to be either dangerous or ineffective. In 1928 there was a discovery by Alexander Fleming. He detected that a substance he called "penicillin" destroyed bacteria. Then in the late 1930's, two British scientists invented a method of extracting penicillin from the mold. This was the start of developing new drugs to treat diseases and bacteria. Over the years, numerous thousands of antibiotic material have been found in nature as well as produced chemically but, there are few that are safe and useful. However the ones t ....

.... is that it causes a loss of chloride transport. In 1938 Dorothy H. Anderson of Columbus University discovered some definite symptoms of CF () by performing autopsies on infected children. She had also named the genetic defect. Those were destruction of pancreas, damage to lungs and infections in lungs. By the 1940’s scientists discovered that thick secretions, which blocked digestive enzymes from the pancreas, were clogging the ductile systems and passageways. Which caused the ineffectiveness of the digestive track. The mucus is what trapped the infectious bacteria in the lungs.1946 scientists discovered that CF was a recessive trait caused by a mutation of a single ....

.... studies have shown that there may not be a direct correlation between these levels and heart diseases(McCully, 1997). Other risk factors of heart disease include obesity, high blood pressure and smoking. Contrary to past knowledge, most heart attack victims actually have levels of cholesterol that would be considered normal, and as many as one fourth of heart attacks occur in people with no known risk factors at all (Cowley, 1997). The hypothesis that high levels of cholesterol cause heart attacks may be attributed to this: LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, induces cells to produce proteins in the arterial walls of the heart and the veins leading to the heart. Macrophage ....

.... real intent was to legalize drugs. Attorney General Janet Reno announced that prescribing or recommending marijuana was still a violation of federal law, and that any doctors who did so could be prosecuted and lose their license to prescribe all drugs regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). However, the medical use of marijuana has been gaining respectability. Several states have research programs of their own and some governors, including Republican William Weld of Massachusetts, openly endorse medical legalization. The editor of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, Jerome Kassirer, lambasted the Clinton administration in an editorial ent ....

.... sitting in a circle, talking about which device fits them right, because every girl has an individual need. Jon is angry. Why? Hmmm, I wonder. On our daily, basic T.V. showings, there is a news channel, cartoon channel, movie channel, Spanish channel; the list is endless. Last but not least, there is “Lifetime, the channel for women.” Why can’t broadcasters simply place these women commercials on one channel? First of all, men won’t have to watch these commercials and women, if they are inquiring about which device best suits their needs, can turn to this channel. To make it even more easy for them, the editors of the T.V. guide can list special “women ad” ....

.... meal while others spend most of their waking hours eating and getting rid of food. For this latter group, the eating disorder is a much more active part of one's daily life, and in these situations it will obviously take a much longer time. A deep-rooted eating disorder is a very serious condition and treatment typically involves years, not months. Some people expect that when the eating disturbance goes away, psychotherapy is over. This is not true. The process of psychotherapy helps a person resolve the emotional dilemmas that led them to food in the first place. This part of treatment fully begins when the eating itself is less of an issue. Then a psychotherapist de ....
