No End To Unemployment Crisis Tyrell Laurent HSB-4M1 February 20, 2012 Canada as we live in today is changing. Gone are the days where we could count our Healthcare, Government and Banking sectors. Government and business cuts, along with the American market crash of 2008, have affected Canada’s employment market. Due to these external forces, unemployment one of the biggest issues that Canada faces today. Due to budget cuts in government and business sectors unemployment is an issue that Canada faces today.
John majors government came into office after the downfall of Margret Thatcher, which ultimately created divisions within the party. Not only did the party suffer from the internal conflict but also faced the problems of the recession after the ‘Lawson boom’. In order to stabilise the economy he joined the ERM getting a good deal but ultimately resulting in ‘black Wednesday’ causing Major to raise interest rates to 15%. This was political suicide and he soon lost the support of the press we had once relied so much on to get re-elected in 1992. The housing market also plummeted leading to negative equity, which the majority of the working class could not afford resulting in the repossession of their houses combined with the drastic increase in unemployment Britain was in a mess.
For Mate to say that all addictive drug use is caused from neglect issues is not accurate because he does not account for the people who do drugs because they want to. In spite of Mate’s lack of information, his use of hard evidence, and personal anecdotes aides in validating his argument. Scientific examples are
Therefore it is thought that life stress and negative emotions can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system. A criticism with this study is that a cause and effect can’t be established because there was no direct manipulation of the independent variable i.e. the stress index. This was a questionnaire so demand characteristics were present meaning that they could have not been telling the truth (social desirability) or have forgotten. Also in this study there wasn’t a direct way of measuring immune function and is only an indirect study.
Maslow felt that for individuals to be able to become “self-actualising” (Walmsley, J. K101 Bock 1, Unit 3, pg 131) they needed to have their basic needs met first before they can look at social inclusion. Through this essay I will be looking at how advocacy and support can support individuals to have their basic needs met and hopefully progress to leading more fulfilling lives. I have used case studies from the Sussex Travellers Women’s Health Project, The Thornhill Project and Simon to look at meanings of social exclusion and how care work that offers advocacy and outreach services can have positives and negatives and how they may not always succeed. (155) There are 3 main circumstances that can cause people to be socially excluded; finance social and unemployment. Lack of finance can cause families to live in poverty, which can then have adverse effects on health, life opportunities, employment, diet and wellbeing, which in turn can lead to more isolation.
There are very few and vague references to scientific data. Because it is doubtful that any Institutional Review Board would approve of steroid studies at supraphysiologic doses, good study data is limited. However, poling bodybuilders is not good science. One bodybuilder he interviewed in his book intimated that bodybuilders are less than trustworthy. The only physicians the author interviews in his book involve the topic of genetic doping.
What’s more as the BDI is recommended in research and clinical settings it has elements of low ecological validity. Nevertheless, some challenging evidence has been put forward against beck’s theory. Firstly, the idea of schemata and how they develop is rather vague and lacking detail. Similarly it is not always clear how irrational thoughts should be defined and measured. In addition the cognitive approach takes no account of biological or genetic factors in psychopathology.
The article “No Babies” by Russell Shorto discusses how the population in Europe is drastically decreasing because the low birth rate and higher death rate. He discusses how the birth to death rate is very unbalanced as well, which is a result of the declining population. European culture is feared be lost due to the fact that the majority of the European population is mainly made up of older generations and few younger. In the article Population “7 Billion”, Robert Kunzig discusses how the population worldwide is increasing drastically. He discusses that although the population is growing, our planet may not have all the resources it needs to accommodate the growing population.
To the Editor: Poverty is the inability to obtain the necessities of life. In Canada, we measure poverty by the Low Income Cut-Off line (LICO). According to Stats Canada, LICO represents an income threshold where a family is likely to spend 20% more of its income on food, shelter and clothing than the average family, leaving less income available for other expenses. Canada is a wealthy country… yet 3.5 million Canadians live in Poverty. According to the LICO rates in 2011, poverty troubles mainly seniors, aboriginals, and single parents.
Men that have low socioeconomic status tend to have lower levels of health information, which can be due to their lack of education. This affects them negatively because they will not be given the necessary medical attention that they might need in order to deal with whatever symptoms they have. These lower levels of health information and individuals that already dealing with a significant level of stress tend to not seek prevention and management of disease a priority in their life, but when they due the extreme level of stress has to shown to reduce the efficacy of many pharmacological agent (Williams 2008). Whereas men with high socioeconomic status seem more aware of things that they are able to do to
