Use of LSD in 1960s America In early 1960s America, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) was being used and prescribed by doctors for psychotherapy and terminally ill patients. [1] Not long after, the use of the hallucinogen had seeped into the public and was being used by prominent pop culture figures such as The Beatles, Donovan Leitch, and Keith Richards. [2] In the later part of the decade however, people began to see America’s seemingly alarming rate[3] of LSD use as a social problem and by the end of the decade, the drug was made illegal for recreational use and heavily restricted for research purposes. [4] The construction of LSD use as a social problems deals with evidence from researchers about the dangers of LSD us, the American
Elderly as a Vulnerable Population Faustino Hernandez NUR/440 June 11, 2011 University of Phoenix Elderly as a Vulnerable Population According To the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary (2002), vulnerability is the Ability to "Be Easily Physically, Emotionally, or mentally hurt, Influenced or attacked." “As one of the faster growing segments of the population, over 70 million American citizens will be considered elderly by 2030 (Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention , 2007).” The United States Census Bureau states that, the Population greater Than 65 years old is growing at a rapid pace and by the year 2050 will duplicate and will increase from 12 to 20 percent of the population. This same percentage will be considered vulnerable population. Currently 40 million of people in the United States are 65 years or older, according to the Census Bureau these numbers will be expected to double by 2050, longevity will increased and this will bring a new number of common diseases which, will make this group more vulnerable. At Any Given Time, anyone can become vulnerable, the composition of the population has changed demographically and the elderly population has increased in recent years because of the development of the science and technology, but with this increment of the elderly population the vulnerability increases as well, due to some factors that this vulnerable population is exposed to, such as increase of the needs, physical and mental limitations, and lack of financial resources.
According to National Academy of Social Insurance “social security faces a financial challenge from the impending retirement of the largest generation in American history, the 76 million persons born in the “baby boom” years, from 1946 through 1964. Boomers began to reach age 62 in 2008”. I believe that the aging of the population will place a strain on social welfare systems, and generations later will have to pay for the debt because more people are retiring than
Attitude and Elder Abuse The abuse and neglect among the elderly in the African American community has gone unnoticed even though the number of Elder African Americans is sturdily increasing. Studies on Elder abuse have made progress towards defining mistreatment, exploitation and neglect among the elderly (Malley-Morrison 2004). Yet the mass number of literature on elder abuse is targeted towards the U.S. experiences with maltreatment. The literature is also conducive with studies aimed at a large number of European-American populations and with a small revlance to ethnic minority elders (Malley-Morrison & Hines 2004). There are only a few studies that target cultural interpretations of senior abuse in the African American community (Tauriac
Regina Morris April 5, 2012 Composition 1-55 Monica LeMoine Elderly Abuse Elder care today had changed a lot throughout the years for the needs of patients and their desires. There are many different ways to care for the elderly. There are family members that do research on them to see what best for the elder patient. There are other options for taking care of family members or the care in the home of the elder. The options are adult daycare, continuous care communities, assisted living, nursing homes, and independent living.
(2005) found that Asian Americans are underrepresented, occupying 2.7% of the total characters, which is less than their population percentage, 4.4%. Most of the Asian Americans are characterized as holding high-status positions requiring intelligence and advanced degrees (often in the sciences), which might reinforce the model minority stereotype. The complete invisibility of Asian Americans in situational comedies that generally feature family and domestic settings might strengthen the foreigner stereotype that Asians do not represent the ‘‘American family,’’ and they are not seen as neighbors or friends of families. In addition, the other peer ethnic-racial groups have four times as many romantic or familial relationships as Asian Americans, perpetuating Asians as asexual and isolated (Yuen et al., 2005). With an effort to explore the connections between racialized power and politics of TV representation about the images of Asian Americans, Hamamoto (1994) made a comprehensive study of television programs spanning five decades and covering every genre.
For instance, the criminal will think twice before killing for fear of receive the strongest punishment. Death penalty actually is not an effective crime deterrent. This is because majority of people do not anticipate they will be caught. Some states in the United State such as New York, Hawaii, Alaska and Michigan do not use the death penalty had proved they had lower murder rate than the states that do. For example in 2004, crimes rate for states do not use the death penalty had 4.08 murders per 100000 inhabitants compare to states use death penalty had 6.32 murders per 100000 inhabitants.
1. ANALYSE WHY LIFE EXPECTANCY HAS INCREASED OVER THE LAST CENTURY Life expectancy in the human race has risen dramatically in the past century (Harris, 2009) reaching its highest level for both males and females on record (Office for National Statistics (ONS), 2006). Japan currently has the longest surviving individual with a life span averaging 84 years for both men and women (World Health Organisation (WHO), 2006). According to Rooney et al (2004) the term life expectancy is defined as ‘’the number of years that somebody can expect to live, according to statistics (p. 1084).
