English essay 1.docx
Children at age 15 are not mature enough to make independent life decisions without parental guidance. Allowing them more autonomy could increase risky behaviors like substance abuse, premarital sex, and criminal acts. Teens are strongly influenced by peers and desire popularity, which could push them to act without considering consequences. They also face pressure to look a certain way that may lead to unhealthy behaviors. Parents need to provide guidance to help children grow into independent adults and avoid mistakes. The law should emphasize the need for parental involvement in major life decisions during the teen years.
Cigarette smoking is injurious to health
Young people often start smoking due to cultural influences and having friends or family members who smoke. Cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemicals, including 60 that cause cancer. The consequences of smoking include various forms of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, and lung disease, and smokers typically die 15 years earlier than non-smokers from smoking-related illnesses.
S2 Harry Benson 1-Family breakdown-can government policy influence couples to...
This document analyzes data on family breakdown in the UK over several decades. It finds that the percentage of lone parents and births outside of marriage have increased substantially since the 1970s. However, divorce rates leveled off in the 1980s and have declined in recent years. Cohabitation without marriage has become much more common. While unmarried couples make up only 19% of couples with children, they account for 50% of family breakdowns. The data suggests that government policy is unlikely to have caused family breakdown, but that facilitating cohabitation without the commitments of marriage may have contributed to instability. Policies should focus on embracing how commitments within marriage help couples stay together long-term.
Smoking and young generation
The reasons for youth smoking, its various stages, Negative health effects and tips for the parents are discussed in this presentation.
Smoking
Cigarette smoking is the most important preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, with over 3,000 children starting to smoke daily and 20% of American teens smoking regularly. Smoking during pregnancy increases risks of complications like low birth weight, miscarriages, and birth defects. Secondhand smoke exposure also causes disease in non-smokers, with over 3,000 non-smoking adults dying annually from secondhand smoke and most children being exposed to smoke in their households.

Researchers have always tried to build a device capable of seeing people through walls. However, previous efforts to develop such a system have involved the use of expensive and bulky radar technology that uses a part of the electromagnetic spectrum only available to the military. Now a system is being developed by Dina Katabi and Fadel Adib, could give all of us the ability to spot people in different rooms using low-cost Wi-Fi technology. The device is low-power, portable and simple enough for anyone to use, to give people the ability to see through walls and closed doors. The system, called “Wi-Vi,” stands for "Wi-Fi" and "vision." is based on a concept similar to radar and sonar imaging. But in contrast to radar and sonar, it transmits a low-power Wi-Fi signal and uses its reflections to track moving humans. It can do so even if the humans are in closed rooms or hiding behind a wall.
Simple definition for Wi-Vi is, as a Wi-Fi signal is transmitted at a wall, a portion of the signal penetrates through it, reflecting off any humans on the other side. However, only a tiny fraction of the signal makes it through to the other room, with the rest being reflected by the wall, or by other objects. Wi-Vi cancels out all these other reflections, and keeps only those from the moving human body. Previous work demonstrated that the subtle reflections of wireless inter signals bouncing off a human could be used to track that person's movements, but those previous experiments either required that a wireless router was already in the room of the person being tracked. Wi-Fi signals and recent advances in MIMO communications are used to build a device that can capture the motion of humans behind a wall and in closed rooms. Law enforcement personnel can use the device to avoid walking into an ambush, and minimize casualties in standoffs and hostage situations. Emergency responders can use it to see through rubble and collapsed structures. Ordinary users can leverage the device for gaming, intrusion detection, privacy-enhanced monitoring of children and elderly, or personal security when stepping into dark alleys and unknown places.
The concept underlying seeing through opaque obstacles is similar to radar and sonar imaging. Specifically, when faced with a non-metallic wall, a fraction of the RF signal would traverse the wall, reflect off objects and humans, and come back imprinted with a signature of what is inside a closed room. By capturing these reflections, we can image objects behind a wall.
Wi-Vi is a see-through-wall technology that is low-bandwidth, low-power, compact, and accessible to non-military entities. Wi-Vi is a see-through-wall device that employs Wi-Fi signals in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

The document discusses the pervasive marketing of unhealthy products like alcohol, tobacco, junk food, and sexualized content directly to children and teens. It notes that nearly all schools sell junk food, children's media is filled with violence, and teens are heavily exposed to sexual messages.

The tobacco and alcohol industries in particular have a history of explicitly targeting underage users through advertising. There is a growing movement to restrict this kind of marketing to better protect youth health and well-being.
Teens And Smoking Essay
Teenage smoking is on the rise, influenced by peer pressure, images in advertising, and accessibility of cigarettes. While some teens view it as rebellious or cool, it is highly addictive and can lead to long-term health issues. Parental influence and banning advertising that targets teens could help address this serious public health problem.

Alcohol and drugs in relation to crime

Studies show that 70% of offenders abused alcohol in the past and 50% still have issues with it. Age 16-24 year old males are most likely to abuse substances and commit crimes. Poverty and lack of education are also linked to higher rates of substance abuse and crime, as those suffering from social exclusion may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope or see dealing as their only means. Finally, regular cannabis use increases the risk of mental illness, which is in turn linked to criminal behavior.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
