Unit 1 – Health & Human Development MEDIA ANALYSIS – Determinants of Health & Development 1. What was the impact that biological determinants had on “Big Mike’s” health and development? Consider genetic inheritance (such as body type, sex, and hormones). How does this compare with the biological determinants that SJ inherited? There was a huge impact that biological determinants had on Big Mike’s health and development.
Men who are skinny always want to be big or get bigger. They think they can just workout and get bigger, but that is only half of it. Only with a good weight lifting program and a good nutritional diet can skinny people gain weight. Three misconceptions about gaining muscle weight are that people can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, people can gain muscle without eating more calories, and people must buy a whole bunch of supplements to gain mass. People can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.
I believe that one of the most important theorists associated with biological psychology would have to be D.O. Hebb. His book being published opened up more minds to his therioies. It opened up the advancement for biological psychology and made it a major neuroscientific discipline. 4.
When you sit back and think of the process and some of the issues that arise from human experimentation, you begin to realize how many ethical issues we must have considered to come to conclusions to have deemed it right to begin experimentation on humans. Why did we decide it was important to begin studying eugenics? Why have we come to a conclusion that by experimenting on a few we could benefit many? We begin our discussion by learning what Eugenics is and focusing on its importance. Eugenics by definition is the science of improving a human population by controlled breeding or changing of genetics to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable outcomes.
Rosie Clarke Discuss sex differences in parental investment. Human females make a greater biological investment than males because they produce far fewer egg cells than males produces sperm, and egg cells are far more costly to produce. Another reason why females have a greater initial investment is that females can only have a limited number of offspring, whereas a male can potentially have a much larger number of children. As a result of this inequity, females are choosier in who they mate with. As well as making a larger prenatal investment, human mothers must also make a larger postnatal investment.
For example, we might want to know whether high intelligence is inherited from one generation to the next. Each of these biological aspects, the comparative, the physiological, and the genetic, can help explain human behavior. (Simple) Biomedicine, (2008). Biological Psychology. Biomedicine.org.
They also hope that this pill will help with diabetes too. They say that good fat is actually brownish, and bad fat is yellow. Good fat is stored up around your neck area, and bad fat is stored around your stomach area. That makes sense, because older people complain about their waists getting bigger with age. Scientists used imaging that showed how much sugar, and calories, the fat burned.
Another important fact to know is that exercise is the major impact for losing/controlling weight. Exercise is needed for obese people so that they can burn their calories from foods consumed. The fact is, in order to lose weight, one must lose more calories than the calories taken in. 10 The more sleep one gets, less weight is gained, however the less sleep one gets, more weight is gained. Sleepiness can prevent people from exercising and can cause to use less energy.
Even later on in the movie, we also see that Will is a chain smoker, violent, and has extreme trust issues. He doesn’t have any friends besides the ones he knows are loyal, and he pushes others away before they have a chance to leave him first. After a good amount of therapy sessions with a psychiatrist and friend, Sean Macdonald, by the end of the movie Will’s problem seem to be a lot more under-control than they were before. Will’s problems could have been evaluated in multiple different psychological ways, including psychoanalytic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and biopsychosocial. Psychoanalytic psychology would be the best explanation for Will and his actions / words.
They are more at risk for dependence on drugs and alcohol and contracting any disease and they have no access to medicine, food and warm housing. Homeless individuals have no housing to protect them from physical violence and even rape and that can cause emotional problems and it can lead them to have behavior problems, which they can end up in jail. Also is hard for them to hold a job because they are not getting a good night sleep, no clothes to wear, no food and a place to live. Homelessness has an impact on the community by having to operate and maintain homeless support services programs, the community that complain to the government about homeless and then they adopt stricter laws, some homeless will be forced to find alternate places to live and sleep such as behind buildings, in doorways of businesses and this affect the community.
