The claims they assert have no factual basis or cause. Most of the claims made by gun control advocates can be proven wrong by statistical information. The statistical information used by gun control supporters to boost numbers were falsified somewhat to begin with. The argument of gun control comes from a false basis, has no real evidence suggesting gun control would solve crime rate issues, and infringes on the 2nd amendment right ,therefore,lies unconstitutional.

The Truth about Infant Mortality in America BCOM275 The Truth about Infant Mortality in America In USA Today’s Opinion section, an article was recently published titled “Another view: Misleading neonatal data distort rankings.” In summary, the article states that even though research indicates that the United States is 41st worldwide in newborn death rates, this is incorrect because of distorted data. Although the author and newspaper appear credible, this article is inaccurate because it extends multiple logical fallacies as truth. USA Today as a newspaper is reliable and Dr. Scott atlas is a credible author, but the main argument fails to pass my initial plausibility test. I would deem the author to be credible for a variety of reasons. Primarily, he is not an interested party and secondarily, he has expertise judging by his titles of senior fellow and professor at a major medical university.
Facts and Opinions On the con side of the argument is John Kihlstrom who believes that the claims of blocked and recovered memories are nothing more than clinical folklore with no scientific study or evidence to provide proof. Kihlstrom continues that the emotional arousal resulting from a traumatic experience leads to the release of stress hormones that improve memory. Kihlstrom believes based on this a traumatic event should actually result in a more vivid memory as opposed to a repressed one. The pro side of the argument includes David Gleaves, Steven Smith, Lisa Butler, and David Spiegel assert that there are circumstances in which severe distress can lead a person to block a memory only to later recover the memory. Gleaves and his colleagues contend that while it has
Most contemporary philosophers who draw on pragmatist ideas have rejected it. Putnam himself believes that it has some very implausible consequences and is also in tension with those themes in pragmatism which he finds most valuable. [1] The account is implausible because there are plainly truths which, we are sure, will not be a matter of agreement, however long we inquire into them. It also entails that whether it is true that Caesar sneezed three times on the day he first crossed to England is a matter of what future evidence will turn up rather than being a matter of what happened in Gaul some two thousand years ago. The pragmatist insight which it obscures is found in James’s insistence that a variety of practical and aesthetic interests can have a role in determining whether a system of beliefs agrees with reality, indeed that there are different versions of reality which answer to different practical concerns and are not in competition.
If we follow Wilde’s words then we can invariably agree that this novel was “a classic” of “timeless power.”1 Admittedly however, the harsh scrutinisers of The Catcher in the Rye would have been unlikely to approve of Oscar Wilde’s wisdom. It seems somewhat absurd that a book viewed by many as an ingenious piece of literature could be paradoxically viewed by others as “obscene”, “profane” or “vulgar.” 2 Many children felt that Holden represented the archetypal teenager. Can anyone, past or present, truly say that there are no elements of Holden’s character, to which they can relate? The grim sense of realism of the cult novel juxtaposed with American idealisms made the novel a prominent threat to the fabric of American society and thus the novel was branded as “unsuitable for children to read.” Much of the firestorm and debate the book prompted, was a direct consequence of the context. In the 1950s America had just emerged victorious from WW2 and the country was one of exceeding wealth and power.
The Heroin Antidote Christy Harris Kaplan University CM107 Professor McClure April 22, 2015 The Heroin Antidote Heroin is a highly addictive drug derived from the morphine alkaloid found in opium. It is most often injected but it can also be smoked, snorted or orally ingested. Users of this drug often report a feeling of unexplainable, intense euphoria. Following the euphoric state is a depressive clouded state. Heroin produces a downer effect that rapidly induces a state of relaxation and extreme pleasure.
Is ADHD the latest "fad" in the medical community or is it a truly a widespread affliction whose scope is just now being discovered? The nature and causes of ADHD are still largely unknown to the medical community. Common characteristics of ADHD include extreme distractibility, the inability to sit still for extended periods, and increased anxiety and impulsiveness. These factors are so common by themselves that doctors and researchers have even gone so far as to hypothesize that ADHD is not actually a disorder, but rather a
For example, just because a person gets the screening, and it comes back negative, doesn’t mean they may not develop schizophrenia later on in life. There may not be any sign of the genes that cause schizophrenia, but that doesn’t mean that environmental factors won’t play a part later on in life. As DHHS stated, it’s not very likely that those with first or second-degree family members who have schizophrenia will also generate it, the only time it’s actually likely is within identical twins. A screening test is nothing more than a saliva sample sent into a lab, and it is incredibly costly. The reason for this is that
Once heralded as a safe and non-addictive alternative to morphine, heroine drug addiction has turned into a national menace since coming to the United States in the late 1800’s. Sometimes glamorized, heroin drug addiction is the most rapidly acting of the opiates and the most abused. It is everywhere, in our communities, in our schools and its reach crosses all socioeconomic boundaries. It is highly addictive and all too often fatal. Heroin is a highly addictive drug, made from morphine, which is made from opium, a processed derivative from a natural substance harvested from the seedpods of poppy plants.
The production of excessive dopamine causes an intense rush of pleasure followed by a euphoric high that can last up to twelve hours. The abuse of methamphetamine is associated with a number of negative consequences, which include cognitive dysfunctions and neurological damage. Effects of chronic abuse are depression, psychosis and psycho-motor dysfunctions. Neuropsychological abnormalities include attention deficits, memory problems and poor decision-making. The use of methamphetamine is associated with long-term biochemical and structural effects on the brain and significantly changes how the brain functions.
