Mr. J was diagnosed with mild dementia and was drowsy, so the nursing staff had put him in restraint. Although, there are very flexible guidelines for the use of restraint in the National Quality Forum (2004), but, in case of Mr. J, the nurse is rigidly focused on keeping the patient in restraint to reduce risk of falling. The restraint makes the patient’s body immobile and can also make the patient feel imprisoned; leading to depression and other psychological disorders (Foster, 2012). A clear lack of ignorance of nursing standards is affecting Mr. J. Apart from lack of knowledge; there is a clear disregard for following patient care guidelines by the nursing staff.
Every chilly morning, I woke up in the warm bed with strong smoky smell. That is my lovely childhood memory. Although now I am educated that smoking or passive smoking is harmful to our health and have strong reason to fight against smoking, I still can not hate either my grandpa’s pipe or the smoky firewood. However, Do I have reasons to hate other smokers who are strangers to me? As a writer, journalist yet typical smoker, Ms. King condemned those people who hated smokers in American society in her essay “I’d Rather Smoke than Kiss” published in National Review in 1990.
Although only one ending to the play A Dolls House by Heinrik Ibsen is widely known, Ibsen was forced to write an alternative ending, as many discontented directors wanted a happier ending to the play (Jens-Morten Hanssen). The alternate ending contains a very different message. In the original ending (see Appendix 1), Nora leaves her husband Torvald Helmer and her children behind simply to get away from Helmer’s overpowering and controlling actions towards her. This is very different to the alternate ending (see Appendix 2), where Nora feels obliged to stay with her husband for the sake of her children. This alternate ending seems to have an opposite resolution and message compared to the original ending.

The Family Affect on Infant Development The relationship between an infant and his or her caregivers is crucial and is the starting point or groundwork laid for future relationships (Kowalski & Westen, 2009, p. 459). This relationship will have an influence on how the child senses his or her environment and ultimately the world. Kowalski and Westen state, “In the middle of the twentieth century, psychoanalyst observed that children reared in large institutional homes, with minimal stimulation and no consistent contact with a loving caregiver, often became emotionally unstable, lacking in conscience, or mentally retarded” (2009, p. 460). Not only is the structure of the family important, it is equally important
The Emotional and Psychological Effects on Children's Behaviors when a Parent is incarcerated Julie Hulongbayan Liberty University COUN 502 Dr. Warren 04/27/2012 Abstract Children are faced with many challenges when they lose a parent to incarceration. They can experience emotional and psychological behaviors as they mature into adults. There have been several studies that have been conducted to provide knowledge of these behaviors. These studies look at behavior, gender, crime patterns, and each parent's roles in a child's behavior. Children not only develop problems from the incarceration, but of the release of a parent.
At first look, I liked the idea that most perceived us as caring and nurturing, “angels” in disguise. However as I continued to read more about our public image, not everything was good, especially for the profession of nursing. In 2011, The Truth About Nursing, a nonprofit organization in Baltimore announced its eighth annual list of the best and worst media portrayals of nurse. They mentioned ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” Fox’s “House” and ABC’s “Private Practice” topping the list of worst nurse depictions. I have to agree with them, although I do enjoy watching the shows how many times have I said “You would never see a doctor doing that - that’s what nurses do.” In general nurses are displayed by popular media as “just care-takers” or “helpers”.

Illiteracy: An Avoidable Affliction In the investigative report “The Homeless and Their Children” by Jonathon Kozol taken from “Rachel and Her Children” (1988), Kozol tries to raise illiteracy awareness by investigating the correlation between illiteracy and homelessness. More specifically he focuses on one woman, “Laura”, and her four children, and her struggles with everyday life due to illiteracy. Kozol describes the disheveled conditions of the Martinique Hotel, a New York City welfare hotel, where Laura and four hundred other homeless families live. Kozol starts his writing having just met a broken illiterate woman he refers to as “Laura”. She has lived on the seventh floor of the Martinique for two years.
