Essay Three: Research Every field has its problems whether these problems exist in academia or in the professional world. These problems can exist because of a difference in academic philosophy or theory. Furthermore, these problems can be a common occurrence in your industry. With this in mind, your research essay is going to focus on a problem within your discipline. Once you find a relevant issue in your discipline, you must convince your audience that this situation is a problem. Then, outline a proposal to fix that problem, explaining why your proposal is a reasonable solution to this problem. Concepts to consider: In order to begin your proposal, it is important to consider the rhetorical situation that has generated this question or problem. What does this situation say about the problem and how your solution might be beneficial? Who is involved in the problem and solution, and what are their concerns? Considering these elements of the situation will help convince the audience to support the task you’re proposing or even uptake the task you’re proposing. Also, consider whether or not your audience agrees that your topic is a problem. If they do not agree, you might have to spend more time explaining why the topic is a problem that needs to be addressed; on the other hand, if they already are asking the same questions surrounding your problem, you might decide to spend more time outlining the proposal for your readers. Stipulations: · Each essay MUST have a clear, identifiable THESIS STATEMENT. · Use at least six outside sources to support your points. Four of your sources have to be peer-reviewed sources. · Each essay must be 2100-3000 words, 12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, and in the format of your discipline (APA or MLA). The works cited/reference does not count toward the word count. Any paper not meeting the word count will lose significant points. Furthermore, make sure that your essay is in a .docx file format. · Each essay must have an academic essay title. Examples of academic titles: “Expanding the Concept of Translational Research: Making a Place for Environmental Health Sciences”; “Restoring Public Confidence in the Criminal Justice System: Policing Prosecutions When Prosecutors Prosecute Police.” Please make the most of it—do not just call this essay “Research Essay” or “Essay 3.” Due Dates Rough Draft (1700 words+. The work cited/reference page(s) doesn’t count): 4/24 via TITANium Introduction Media is always pointed at having negative effects on mental health.

Introduction
Media is always pointed at having negative effects on mental health. Media, including social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, among others, have rapidly developed. Facebook is considered to be the largest social networking site used globally. In the past decade, media has caused various changes, especially in the way individuals interact as well as communicate. However, it is not clear whether these changes may have an impact on the usual human characters. Previous research carried out shows that prolonged use of media may be associated with signs of depression. In addition, studies have also shown that the effects are associated with low self-esteem, and this mainly affects adolescents and children.
However, other studies differ and have shown that media does not affect negatively and no mental problems associated with the use of media. Thus, the relationship between media and mental health is controversial, and many questions have remained unanswered. Moreover, the research on this topic has experienced a lot of challenges. This paper focuses on findings regarding the association between the media and mental health issues such as internet addiction, depression signs and symptoms and low self-esteem.
Media and Signs and symptoms of depression
Various reasons suggest that media users are at risk of getting depressed. This is because there are many factors that may cause a depressed individual to increase their use or begin to use a social networking site. Among the reasons why media is associated with depressive symptoms is that it may lead to negative changes in the personality characteristics of other users. Generally, internet use affects the social relationship to the extent of affecting participation in community life.
According to a study done by Kraut et al ., 1998 shows that increased time online is associated with reduced communication with other members of the family. This may result in an increased feeling of loneliness as well as depression. Further research suggests that computer use may have various negative effects, especially on the social development of children.
This research focused on investigating possible impacts of internet browsing and other online uses such as email checking on mental health.
As a result of the development of social networks, for example, Facebook in 2004, time spent online has greatly increased. On the other hand, time on interpersonal interaction has reduced, including among the family members. However, research on the relationship between the use of various social networking sites and depression has not been properly investigated. This is because most social networks and upgrade in the media are recent discoveries. According to a study carried out on high school population, it was found that there is a relationship between time spent on social networking sites and depressive symptoms(Pantic et al ., 2012).
However, different authors have found that media is no ...

Introduction
When discussing the influence of social media on mental health, first, it is pivotal to understand what social media is and the different dimensions of mental health. On the one hand, social media refers to how people can share information on various issues. Information can be shared in video, image, and audio, among other formats. The information shared via these platforms can benefit the users or have damaging consequences, such as mental issues and radicalization. Some popular social media platforms are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Flickr. According to the Pew Research Center, over 84% of Americans will use social media in 2022, compared to 5% in 2002 (
Pew Research Center, 2022). The most used platforms in the United States are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.
Mental health is pivotal because it influences the decisions people make ad their participation in daily routines. Issues like trauma, abuse, child neglect, unemployment, and divorce can lead to mental health problems affecting individual functioning. Some dominant mental health issues include depression, sleeping disorders, stress, aggression, and self-denial. On the other hand, mental health incorporates three dimensions: physiological, social, and emotional well-being.
It has been argued that social media can affect users’ mental health negatively or positively. One of the highly cited benefits of social media is that the platforms offer users a high sense of privacy. With privacy guaranteed, individuals can openly discuss their woeful experiences without having too woeful experiences. In other words, social media provides a better platform for self-expression, which is not guaranteed through physical encounters. Social media also has the potential to help individuals network with others and build healthy relationships, which is crucial in reducing exposure to mental wellness. Besides connecting with individuals, social media can enable people to connect with other agencies created to deal with mental issues (Robinson & Smith, 2022). On the downside, one of the repercussions of social media on mental health is that it increases the state of loneliness because users may find themselves spending more time on social media applications than interacting with other people. Social media can also lead to body image issues, depression, stress, and cyberbullying (Robinson & Smith, 2022). This research aims to delve deeper into the effects of mental health by focusing on literature and additional research.
Research Questions
1. How can the benefits derived from social media use be augmented to suppress the risks?
2. What are the triggers of mental health issues among social media users?
3. What strategies can be implemented to reduce social media use amo.

One of the primary causes of disability worldwide, depression affects a sizable percentage of the population. Persistent feelings of sadness and guilt, changes in sleeping patterns (insomnia or oversleeping), changes in appetite, decreased mental and physical energy, unusual irritability, inability to enjoy once-enjoyed activities, difficulty working, and thoughts of death or suicide are all symptoms that can be associated with any type of depressive disorder. These "down" symptoms alone may indicate a unipolar depressive disorder like dysthymia or severe depression if they are present. A person may be diagnosed with bipolar illness if they experience alternating spells of depression and euphoria. Adolescents and young adults increasingly have difficulties with their mental health (Poppen et al., 2016). An individual's mental health is something only they can fully comprehend, making it difficult for friends and loved ones to spot warning signs in time to intervene. Juvenile and young adult suicide is a major problem in today's world. A lack of life experiences, self-confidence, and faith in one's own skills contribute to the suicides of many young individuals.
ii) Significance of the practice problem/gap at the project site
Mental illness has been a problem that is affected the population for a long period and worryingly young people and adolescents are experiencing many effects that lead to some committing suicide. The stress that today's youth encounter nowadays is the most significant of all these issues, especially the pressure they receive based on their academic expectations and poor communication about their troubles to their parents. There is also a gap in the schools in terms of students receiving counseling services because there are limited professional counselors that attend to student needs. Despite the fact that psychologists claim stress could be caused by anything, many young people find the rapid pace of modern life to be a significant source of anxiety. Many young individuals are inspired to take their own lives by the media's glorified depiction of suicide (Poppen et al., 2016). The reality that suicide is always fatal seems to be lost on many young people. Young people, in other words, consider suicide an o ...

Final draft: The Influence of social media on Mental Health
Abstract
It is essential to define social media and mental health to have a meaningful conversation on the impact technology has on people's emotional well-being. One definition of social media is how individuals may discuss and learn more about a range of topics with one another. Video, still images, and sound are just some of the many ways data may be sent. The material provided on these sites has the potential to help people or to cause harm, such as mental health problems or radicalization. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Flickr are all examples of well-known social networking sites. Pew predicts that by 2022, 84 percent of U.S. adults will be active on at least one social networking site, up from 5 percentage points in 2002. In the United States, people mainly utilize the social media sites Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter.

The Effect of Media Violence on Children Research Proposal
The effect of media violence on children has been one of the most researched issues in studies related to violence. A lot of scholars argue that exposure to violence through the media has a significant impact on the psychological development of children. I always want to do research on this topic because the media is constantly expanding thus increasing the different ways in which the children are exposed. For instance, the internet and the easy access to devices such as smartphones have increased the free exposure of children to violent media content. Additionally, I would like to understand the extent to which the media can affect children’s psychological development to determine some ways in which this can be controlled. This research seeks to find evidence showing that media violence has an adverse impact on the mental development of children.
The Target Audience
This paper aims to reach the authorities who are in charge of controlling the media content including the government, media regulation agencies, and the parents. These people have the power to control what is aired on the different media platforms and the times that they are aired so that children cannot access them. Most government agencies in charge of controlling media understand the impact that violence can have on children. Therefore, they have made attempts to control the kind of content that is released to the public. However, a lot of parents do not understand the extent of damage that violence in the media can have on their children. Therefore, proving this negative impact of media on children could help the parents to work harder to control what their kids see.
Research Questions
This research paper will seek to answer the following questions;
To what extent are children exposed to violence through the media?
What is the impact of exposure to media violence on children’s psychological development?
What can the government do to reduce the impact of media exposure to children?
What can parents do to limit the impact of the media on their children?
Research Plan
To find answers to the above research questions, this study will use a meta-analytic review where data from various research studies will be combined to arrive at a conclusion of whether media violence can affect a child’s psychology when they are exposed to it. Studies that have been done in the past two decades will be considered so that the changes that have taken place in the media can be considered.

The following is the outline that will be used to present this research paper.

The Influence of social media on Mental Health
Abstract
It is essential to define social media and mental health to have a meaningful conversation on the impact technology has on people's emotional well-being. One definition of social media is how individuals may discuss and learn more about a range of topics with one another. Video, still images, and sound are just some of the many ways data may be sent. The material provided on these sites has the potential to help people or to cause harm, such as mental health problems or radicalization. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Flickr are all examples of well-known social networking sites. Pew predicts that by 2022, 84 percent of U.S. adults will be active on at least one social networking site, up from 5 percentage points in 2002. In the United States, people mainly utilize the social media sites Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter.
Introduction
One cannot imagine current life without the ubiquitous presence of social media. Since it was first created, people have found several ways to put it to use. Social media were designed to facilitate quick one-on-one contact. However, it has steadily been implemented in several industries, including schools, the business world, and hospitals, as a tool for marketing, making it simpler to contact more consumers and prospective clients in a short period. However, social media's negative aspects may harm people's health and well-being. Among the harmful impacts of social media is the rise of mental health problems, according to recent studies. Anxiety, sadness, and mania are just some of the mental health problems that have been linked to excessive social media usage.
People's mental well-being is crucial since it determines how actively they engage in everyday life. Mental health issues may impair an individual's ability to operate and can be triggered by various traumatic experiences, abusive relationships, child maltreatment, unemployment, and failed marriages. Common mental health difficulties include melancholy, inability to sleep, tension, hostility, and suppression of feelings (Coyne et al.,2020). However, mental health encompasses not only physical health but also social and emotional well-being.
Some have suggested that media positively and negatively affect users' mental health. One of social media's most frequently cited advantages is the increased privacy it provides its users. Individuals can feel safe sharing their traumatic experiences, knowing their privacy will be protected. In other words, face-to-face interactions don't necessarily guarantee the same level of ope.

Discussion: Gender Bias in Research
Historically, men have dominated scientific research in that the both the researchers and participants have largely been male. Accordingly, the way research has been designed, the way studies have been conducted, and the ways in which results have been interpreted have been at risk for gender bias. In other words, the preconceived ideas and beliefs or unfounded prejudice about the traits and characteristics of each gender potentially influence the outcomes of research studies. Even today, as women have entered into the academic and scientific world in significant numbers, research is subject to gender bias. The implications of gender bias can be far reaching. As the scientific community uses research study results for subsequent research and the media picks up the results to report findings to the public, gender bias can have a huge impact. Society may be making decisions that are based on incorrect, misleading, or biased data. As an example, a majority of early heart disease research was conducted primarily using male subjects leading to the assumption that heart disease was a man's disease and did not significantly impact women. The gender bias in heart disease research resulted in little attention being paid to women who had heart disease symptoms, as well as delays and limitations in the treatment for these symptoms for many years. In reality, it is now common knowledge that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, as it is for men.
This Discussion asks you to think about how gender bias can impact scientific research and how the findings of biased research can impact individuals and society.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Preface, the assigned pages in Chapter 1, and pages 35–47 from Chapter 2 in the course text,
Gender: Psychological Perspectives
, focusing on why researchers study gender, why researchers include gender as a factor in psychological studies, and how researchers can be biased in their research with regard to gender.
Think about the following questions:
What impact does gender bias in research have on interpretation of the results of research studies?
How does gender bias in research potentially perpetuate the view of what men and women are and should be?
What impact could the biased research have on individuals of each gender and on society as a whole?
How does the media then use research findings to inform, persuade, sell, and so forth?
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post
an analysis of the role of gender bias both in the study of psychology and in the reporting of results by others, including the implications. Provide at least two specific examples for each to illustrate your points.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

(Discussion 1)Describe a social theory that was discussed in the Socia.docx
(Discussion 1)
Describe a social theory that was discussed in the “Social Relationships and Health” journal article and indicate how it was used to support the research.
From my understanding of the journal for this week, the social theory was how some ones health can be effected with or with out social relations. From the research it touches on how a person or people can be happy and also live longer with better health, when practicing social relationships. The article discuss how the theory of social relationships can make people stringer and healthier. It was used to support the research because the researchers conducted studies not only on humans but animals as well to prove this theory.
Choose one of the quantitative research results presented in the article; describe the evidence presented and indicate which variables of the experiment were highlighted.
The quantitative research results that I choose from the article was when the researchers were discovering that social relationships can cause a risk factors of mortality, and probably morbidity, from a wide range of diseases. From the readings the researchers shown that they used criteria include strength and consistencies of statistical association across a wide range of studies an cause and effect with animals and humans. An experiment of behavior pattern as an risk factor for (type A) heart disease. 1964 Surgeon general had evidence that social relationship and health increased that cigarette smoking was a cause or risk factor for mortality a range of disease. These factors are important because the researchers seen that there is less association of social relationships when it comes to smoking, because smoking is also linked to cancer.
Determine the article’s conclusion in regards to social relationships in society. Based on the accompanying media piece “Why Facebook Could Be Good for Your Health Links to an external site.,” how could modern social media sites support the research findings in the journal article?
Although social relationships as independent, overruling, and moderating variables affecting stress, health, or the relationships between them have been widely studied over the past decade, almost no attention has been paid to social relationships as dependent variables ( House, Landis & Umberson, 1988). I believe that modern social media sites support the claims that social variables determine both health and the nature of social relationships, both link social relationship to health. Modern social media is where you can give updates on thoughts and at one point it was some where you can express freedom of speech.
The course text reading discussed how research can also use the transformative paradigm in social theory to impact social change. How does it do this and what types of societal populations can the transformative paradigm specifically impact?
The researcher's role and the selection of particular paradigmatic perspectives are affected by the interse.

Media's influence on body image
Janet Hernandez
Introduction
The media and body image advertisement are two close concepts specifically; the body image advertising displays affects our body image. Despite other elements like parenting, education, intimate relationship influencing body image, media has the greatest impact. According to Diedrichs, (2012) Americans spends 250billion hours watching TV annually. Also, advertising occupies 30 % of all television airtime. Normal child watches 20,000 televisions commercial annually. In the print media, some magazines are filled with ads. In addition, social media has the highest of users compared to any other media globally. Anything seen for many hours influence us. As a result, media and body images are closely interrelated due to the numerous image we see in the media.
Wykes, M., & Gunter, B. (2015). The Media and Body Image: If Looks Could Kill. doi:10.4135/9781446215395
This article fits in the research topic because it covers the influence of advertisement in girls’ looks. It pinpoints that girls who like magazines, TVs are more likely to change and look like the persons in the magazines.
The article further discusses that the available applications have made it easy for persons to edit photos. This includes clearing blemishes, whitening of teeth, even to shaving off few pounds. For some users especially ladies, there is real problem in their body image. Additionally, this article postulates that notable percentage of people are changing their body images to match the ones in the media (Wykes & Gunter, 2015).
Levine, M. (2012). Media Influences on Female Body Image. Encyclopedia of Body Image and Human Appearance, 540-546. doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-384925-0.00085-7
As the title alludes, the article perfectly fits in this topic. This is because it covers how the female body image has been significantly influenced by the media. Also, it addresses how the females’ models have altered their body image. It provides an example where normal American woman is 5feet and 4inches and 166 pounds .In disparity, most model women are 5 feet and 11 inches in the media. The major question is how this disparity emerges. According to an interview conducted the major factor that influences this changes is the social media. This different stature and size is seen in the social media (Levine, 2012) .
Tiggemann, M. (2014). The Status of Media Effects on Body Image Research: Commentary on Articles in the Themed Issue on Body Image and Media. Media Psychology, 17(2), 127-133. doi:10.1080/15213269.2014.891822
This article is relevant as it pinpoints the media effects on body image. Again, it covers the how media has influenced the persons in different ways. One of the most notable topic covered in the article is the how girls in Fiji are affected by media. One survey in Fiji has shown that one in every ten girls have reported to have ...

Grant Proposal-Assessing the role of stigma towards mental health patients in help seeking
Study problem
There are several studies that have shown that stigmatization towards mental health patients have been present throughout history and even despite the evolution in modern medicine and advanced treatment. For example, Verhaeghe et al., (2014), captures in a publication in reference to a study that he conducted that stigmatization towards mental health patients has been there even as early is in the 18th Century. People were hesitant to interact with people termed or perceived to have mental health conditions.
Stigmatization has resulted from the belief that those with mental problem are aggressive and dangerous creating a social distance (Szeto et al., 2017). Also, mental health-related stigma has become of major concern as it creates crucial barriers to access treatment and quality care since it not only influences the behaviour of the patients but also the attitude of the providers hence impacting help-seeking. Timmermann, Uhrenfeldt and Birkelund (2014), have identified stigma as a barrier that is of significance to care or help seeking while the extent to which it still remains a barrier have not been reviewed deeply. Therefore, this study will assess the role contributed by stigma in help seeking in depth. 1. Purpose
The intention of the research study is to review the association between stigma, mental illness and help seeking in order to formulate ways in which the stigma that is around mental health is done away with to enable as many people suffering from mental health complications to seek medical help.2. Background
Mental health is crucial in every stage of life. It is defined as the state of psychological well-being whereby the individual realizes a satisfactory integration instinctual drive acceptable to both oneself and his or her social setting (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). The status of mental health influences physical health, relationships, and most importantly day-to-day life. Mental health problems arise when there is a disruption in mental well-being.
The risk factors to mental health problems are not limited and therefore everyone is entitled to the problem irrespective of gender, economic status, and ethnic group. For example, data shows that in America one out of five individuals experience mental health problems annually; with mental disorders being recognized as the leading cause of disability not only in the United States but also globally (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). Mental health disorders are seen to be complex and of many forms such as anxiety, mood, and schizophren.

Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especial.docx
Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especially when providing care to patients from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. The population of the United States comprises various ethnic/racial groups with different cultural and social beliefs, practice, norms, and values. There is an increasing disparities on the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes among different communities in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Hispanics and African Americans have the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the country (Concha, Mayer, Mezuk, & Avula, 2016). Caring for patients from different ethnic/racial groups require consideration of ethical principles and concepts to prevent ethical issues that may arise during nurse-patient interaction.
Recently, I cared for patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had been hospitalized for more than two weeks due to acute hypertension, partial loss of vision. Also, the patient had a chronic diabetic foot ulcer. The analysis of his medical history revealed that the diabetic foot ulcer had developed in the last two years and had never healed. The patient was so worried about his health status and kept asking when he was going to be discharged from the hospital. The patient came from the Hispanic community, which is one of minority groups with the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the country. Being a culturally competent registered nurse, I had an obligation to take into account the specific ethnic background of the patient when providing care. Considering patient’s ethnic/racial background is important in providing quality, holistic, and patient-centered care based their health concerns, preferences, and values (Concha et al., 2016).
When collecting subjective data for analysis and planning for the care. I asked the patient about his perceptions about the possible causes of type 2 diabetes that he was suffering from. Hispanics have different beliefs in the causation of diabetes mellitus (Frieden, 2016). First, the patient believed that diabetes is a temporary condition that is not fatal. Second, the patient narrated a story that attempts to identify the cause of diabetes and concluded that they believe that people with “good diabetes” do not experience a lot of complications. The Hispanics use the term “good diabetes” when referring to the type of diabetes that do not require insulin for therapeutic purposes; non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Frieden, 2016). Also, the patient had a fatalistic attitude and believed that his health condition is likely to be a punishment from God.
The patient had a low health literacy level because caregivers had encouraged him to engage in some physical exercise and adopt a self-management approach as a way of controlling and preventing complications related to his condition, but he never implemented them. Also, the pat.

The Effect of Media Violence on Children Research Proposal
The effect of media violence on children has been one of the most researched issues in studies related to violence. A lot of scholars argue that exposure to violence through the media has a significant impact on the psychological development of children. I always want to do research on this topic because the media is constantly expanding thus increasing the different ways in which the children are exposed. For instance, the internet and the easy access to devices such as smartphones have increased the free exposure of children to violent media content. Additionally, I would like to understand the extent to which the media can affect children’s psychological development to determine some ways in which this can be controlled. This research seeks to find evidence showing that media violence has an adverse impact on the mental development of children.
The Target Audience
This paper aims to reach the authorities who are in charge of controlling the media content including the government, media regulation agencies, and the parents. These people have the power to control what is aired on the different media platforms and the times that they are aired so that children cannot access them. Most government agencies in charge of controlling media understand the impact that violence can have on children. Therefore, they have made attempts to control the kind of content that is released to the public. However, a lot of parents do not understand the extent of damage that violence in the media can have on their children. Therefore, proving this negative impact of media on children could help the parents to work harder to control what their kids see.
Research Questions
This research paper will seek to answer the following questions;
To what extent are children exposed to violence through the media?
What is the impact of exposure to media violence on children’s psychological development?
What can the government do to reduce the impact of media exposure to children?
What can parents do to limit the impact of the media on their children?
Research Plan
To find answers to the above research questions, this study will use a meta-analytic review where data from various research studies will be combined to arrive at a conclusion of whether media violence can affect a child’s psychology when they are exposed to it. Studies that have been done in the past two decades will be considered so that the changes that have taken place in the media can be considered.

As the scientific community uses research study results for subsequent research and the media picks up the results to report findings to the public, gender bias can have a huge impact. Society may be making decisions that are based on incorrect, misleading, or biased data. As an example, a majority of early heart disease research was conducted primarily using male subjects leading to the assumption that heart disease was a man's disease and did not significantly impact women. The gender bias in heart disease research resulted in little attention being paid to women who had heart disease symptoms, as well as delays and limitations in the treatment for these symptoms for many years. In reality, it is now common knowledge that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, as it is for men.
This Discussion asks you to think about how gender bias can impact scientific research and how the findings of biased research can impact individuals and society.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Preface, the assigned pages in Chapter 1, and pages 35–47 from Chapter 2 in the course text,
Gender: Psychological Perspectives
, focusing on why researchers study gender, why researchers include gender as a factor in psychological studies, and how researchers can be biased in their research with regard to gender.
Think about the following questions:
What impact does gender bias in research have on interpretation of the results of research studies?
How does gender bias in research potentially perpetuate the view of what men and women are and should be?
What impact could the biased research have on individuals of each gender and on society as a whole?
How does the media then use research findings to inform, persuade, sell, and so forth?
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post
an analysis of the role of gender bias both in the study of psychology and in the reporting of results by others, including the implications. Provide at least two specific examples for each to illustrate your points.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

(Discussion 1)Describe a social theory that was discussed in the Socia.docx
(Discussion 1)
Describe a social theory that was discussed in the “Social Relationships and Health” journal article and indicate how it was used to support the research.
From my understanding of the journal for this week, the social theory was how some ones health can be effected with or with out social relations. From the research it touches on how a person or people can be happy and also live longer with better health, when practicing social relationships. The article discuss how the theory of social relationships can make people stringer and healthier. It was used to support the research because the researchers conducted studies not only on humans but animals as well to prove this theory.
Choose one of the quantitative research results presented in the article; describe the evidence presented and indicate which variables of the experiment were highlighted.
The quantitative research results that I choose from the article was when the researchers were discovering that social relationships can cause a risk factors of mortality, and probably morbidity, from a wide range of diseases. From the readings the researchers shown that they used criteria include strength and consistencies of statistical association across a wide range of studies an cause and effect with animals and humans. An experiment of behavior pattern as an risk factor for (type A) heart disease. 1964 Surgeon general had evidence that social relationship and health increased that cigarette smoking was a cause or risk factor for mortality a range of disease. These factors are important because the researchers seen that there is less association of social relationships when it comes to smoking, because smoking is also linked to cancer.
Determine the article’s conclusion in regards to social relationships in society. Based on the accompanying media piece “Why Facebook Could Be Good for Your Health Links to an external site.,” how could modern social media sites support the research findings in the journal article?
Although social relationships as independent, overruling, and moderating variables affecting stress, health, or the relationships between them have been widely studied over the past decade, almost no attention has been paid to social relationships as dependent variables ( House, Landis & Umberson, 1988). I believe that modern social media sites support the claims that social variables determine both health and the nature of social relationships, both link social relationship to health. Modern social media is where you can give updates on thoughts and at one point it was some where you can express freedom of speech.
The course text reading discussed how research can also use the transformative paradigm in social theory to impact social change. How does it do this and what types of societal populations can the transformative paradigm specifically impact?
The researcher's role and the selection of particular paradigmatic perspectives are affected by the interse.

Media's influence on body image
Janet Hernandez
Introduction
The media and body image advertisement are two close concepts specifically; the body image advertising displays affects our body image. Despite other elements like parenting, education, intimate relationship influencing body image, media has the greatest impact. According to Diedrichs, (2012) Americans spends 250billion hours watching TV annually. Also, advertising occupies 30 % of all television airtime. Normal child watches 20,000 televisions commercial annually. In the print media, some magazines are filled with ads. In addition, social media has the highest of users compared to any other media globally. Anything seen for many hours influence us. As a result, media and body images are closely interrelated due to the numerous image we see in the media.
Wykes, M., & Gunter, B. (2015). The Media and Body Image: If Looks Could Kill. doi:10.4135/9781446215395
This article fits in the research topic because it covers the influence of advertisement in girls’ looks. It pinpoints that girls who like magazines, TVs are more likely to change and look like the persons in the magazines.
The article further discusses that the available applications have made it easy for persons to edit photos. This includes clearing blemishes, whitening of teeth, even to shaving off few pounds. For some users especially ladies, there is real problem in their body image. Additionally, this article postulates that notable percentage of people are changing their body images to match the ones in the media (Wykes & Gunter, 2015).
Levine, M. (2012). Media Influences on Female Body Image. Encyclopedia of Body Image and Human Appearance, 540-546. doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-384925-0.00085-7
As the title alludes, the article perfectly fits in this topic. This is because it covers how the female body image has been significantly influenced by the media. Also, it addresses how the females’ models have altered their body image. It provides an example where normal American woman is 5feet and 4inches and 166 pounds .In disparity, most model women are 5 feet and 11 inches in the media. The major question is how this disparity emerges. According to an interview conducted the major factor that influences this changes is the social media. This different stature and size is seen in the social media (Levine, 2012) .
Tiggemann, M. (2014). The Status of Media Effects on Body Image Research: Commentary on Articles in the Themed Issue on Body Image and Media. Media Psychology, 17(2), 127-133. doi:10.1080/15213269.2014.891822
This article is relevant as it pinpoints the media effects on body image. Again, it covers the how media has influenced the persons in different ways. One of the most notable topic covered in the article is the how girls in Fiji are affected by media. One survey in Fiji has shown that one in every ten girls have reported to have ...

Grant Proposal-Assessing the role of stigma towards mental health patients in help seeking
Study problem
There are several studies that have shown that stigmatization towards mental health patients have been present throughout history and even despite the evolution in modern medicine and advanced treatment. For example, Verhaeghe et al., (2014), captures in a publication in reference to a study that he conducted that stigmatization towards mental health patients has been there even as early is in the 18th Century. People were hesitant to interact with people termed or perceived to have mental health conditions.
Stigmatization has resulted from the belief that those with mental problem are aggressive and dangerous creating a social distance (Szeto et al., 2017). Also, mental health-related stigma has become of major concern as it creates crucial barriers to access treatment and quality care since it not only influences the behaviour of the patients but also the attitude of the providers hence impacting help-seeking. Timmermann, Uhrenfeldt and Birkelund (2014), have identified stigma as a barrier that is of significance to care or help seeking while the extent to which it still remains a barrier have not been reviewed deeply. Therefore, this study will assess the role contributed by stigma in help seeking in depth. 1. Purpose
The intention of the research study is to review the association between stigma, mental illness and help seeking in order to formulate ways in which the stigma that is around mental health is done away with to enable as many people suffering from mental health complications to seek medical help.2. Background
Mental health is crucial in every stage of life. It is defined as the state of psychological well-being whereby the individual realizes a satisfactory integration instinctual drive acceptable to both oneself and his or her social setting (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). The status of mental health influences physical health, relationships, and most importantly day-to-day life. Mental health problems arise when there is a disruption in mental well-being.
The risk factors to mental health problems are not limited and therefore everyone is entitled to the problem irrespective of gender, economic status, and ethnic group. For example, data shows that in America one out of five individuals experience mental health problems annually; with mental disorders being recognized as the leading cause of disability not only in the United States but also globally (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). Mental health disorders are seen to be complex and of many forms such as anxiety, mood, and schizophren.

Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especial.docx
Ethical consideration is important in nursing practice, especially when providing care to patients from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. The population of the United States comprises various ethnic/racial groups with different cultural and social beliefs, practice, norms, and values. There is an increasing disparities on the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes among different communities in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Hispanics and African Americans have the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the country (Concha, Mayer, Mezuk, & Avula, 2016). Caring for patients from different ethnic/racial groups require consideration of ethical principles and concepts to prevent ethical issues that may arise during nurse-patient interaction.
Recently, I cared for patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had been hospitalized for more than two weeks due to acute hypertension, partial loss of vision. Also, the patient had a chronic diabetic foot ulcer. The analysis of his medical history revealed that the diabetic foot ulcer had developed in the last two years and had never healed. The patient was so worried about his health status and kept asking when he was going to be discharged from the hospital. The patient came from the Hispanic community, which is one of minority groups with the highest incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the country. Being a culturally competent registered nurse, I had an obligation to take into account the specific ethnic background of the patient when providing care. Considering patient’s ethnic/racial background is important in providing quality, holistic, and patient-centered care based their health concerns, preferences, and values (Concha et al., 2016).
When collecting subjective data for analysis and planning for the care. I asked the patient about his perceptions about the possible causes of type 2 diabetes that he was suffering from. Hispanics have different beliefs in the causation of diabetes mellitus (Frieden, 2016). First, the patient believed that diabetes is a temporary condition that is not fatal. Second, the patient narrated a story that attempts to identify the cause of diabetes and concluded that they believe that people with “good diabetes” do not experience a lot of complications. The Hispanics use the term “good diabetes” when referring to the type of diabetes that do not require insulin for therapeutic purposes; non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Frieden, 2016). Also, the patient had a fatalistic attitude and believed that his health condition is likely to be a punishment from God.
The patient had a low health literacy level because caregivers had encouraged him to engage in some physical exercise and adopt a self-management approach as a way of controlling and preventing complications related to his condition, but he never implemented them. Also, the pat.

1 Basic Assignment Description
For your ethical competency writing assignment, you will write analyze a disagreement between two authors/viewpoints
that we discussed this semester. I am calling the assignment a critical disagreement analysis. Below I will
provide a number of examples of disagreements between the authors we discuss this semester. Your
paper will have the following components
1. Hone the disagreement
• I want you to start by taking my general statement of disagreement and providing your own clear specifics
that focus on particular claims or passages. Here you are taking my starting point, but providing your
own framing of the disagreement that will provide focus for your paper.
• You will hone your statement of the disagreement in a way that sets things up for the next parts of the
paper.
• For example:
– In number 2 below, you will identify a specific critique of Rawls from either Kittay or Noddings.
You need to explain where the disagreement is and set the stage for a fruitful dialogue to follow in
the paper.
• This part of the paper should be focused. You should discuss the two views in a way that sets the stage
for your objection and response.
• In the opening part of the paper you need to preview what is ahead - you may only write this part late
in the writing process, but you need to provide a clear preview of where the rest of the paper goes.
2. Provide the best objection from one point of view to another
• I want you to do more than just state the two sides of the issue in this paper. I want you to bring the
authors into dialogue. You will do this by articulating an objection to one position from the point of
view of the other, then responding to the objection.
– You want your objection to be more than just restating a point where the authors diagree. Here’s
what I mean by just restating, as an example:
1
Kant believes that there are absolute rules that should be followed without regard to conse-
quences. The strongest utilitarian objection to this is that Kant disregards the importance
of how an action affects overall happiness.
– The above is an example of what not to do. That way of stating things won’t get you far because
it is just a re-stating of a key difference between Kant and utilitarianism.
• You should look for an objection that raises a new question for the other point of view, or points out
an unforeseen implication of the view. In some way it should move discussion forward. I am not
asking you to discover something that has never been said about these issues. I just want
you to deepen your understanding of the two views by raising a serious objection to one
position, then responding to it.
– In some way the objection should force you to think in new ways about the position objected to.
• In this section you should explain as clearly as you can how the objection presents a proble.

INTRODUCTION
Ethics in business is mainly concerned with the good or bad actions and behaviors that often take place in the world of business
Ethical challenges have often resulted from lack of a clear and distinctive description of norms that ought to be used
Business ethics hence help economists to think productively along moral dimensions on matters regarding policy problems
Ethics could be a complex aspect in business as it influences all aspect of business as it provides the most adequate action that ought to be taken. Ethics causes huge conflicts as morality may not be clearly definitive and situations in many cases greatly vary (Nuseir & Ghandour, 2019).

Ethics in intellectual property
Intellectual property rights is a socio-economic tool that create some form of monopoly for firms to charge a price for their innovations
For many innovative firms, it is a timely and expensive to come up with new innovations for the market yet other competitors in the market will attempt to copy new design of products launched.
Firms have however, taken advantage of intellectual property rights by asking for high prices for products
Intellectual property rights are a tool that protects innovators from losing their innovations to counter-feighting firms in the market. However many have leveraged this property rights to put high prices on their products to maximize their profits from their innovations (Sonderholm, 2018).

Policy statement on Ethics in intellectual property
To ensure easy and right access of new innovated products, it is important to come up with an ethical way to reduce exploitation by firms.
Firms can take up he differential pricing strategy that has in the past been articulated to be of great influence and guarantees the firm’s profitability
Through differentia; pricing, the protected innovation can be offered at different prices based on the socio-economic demographics of the area. A product can be offered at a cheaper price at a low-earning area while it is offered at different price at a different location (Sonderholm, 2018).

Introduction
Depending on the context of the study, researchers often encounter ethical dilemmas that are associated with respect for privacy, establishment of honest and open interactions, and avoidance of misrepresentation. From an ethical standpoint, such challenging circumstances may surface if researchers are grappling with conflicting issues and have to choose between different methodological approaches in complex circumstances. In such circumstances, disagreements among different components including participants, researchers, researchers’ disciplines, the financing organization, and the society might be inevitable. Therefore, there are numerous ethical concerns that should be taken into account when undertaking studies that deal with human subjects. Understanding ethical principles can guide researchers to conduct studies that safeguard the wellbeing of human subjects.
Overview of the Research
In a research work titled
Resilience of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia: a Phenomenological Study
, Kumboyono et al. (2018) observe that HIV/ AIDS is among the most prevalent and expanding communicable diseases on the planet. The number of individuals who are diagnosed with HIV/AIDS continues to skyrocket every year in Indonesia and other parts of the world. According to Kumboyono et al. (2018), individuals who suffer from HIV/AIDS often plunge themselves into a series of crises, which indicate the challenges of living with the chronic pathological condition. As such, resilience is one distinct phenomenon that is common among persons living with the diseases Indonesia, a pattern that indicates the results of current health management and expectations of HIV/AIDS patients for better and improved health outcomes. In light of this concern, Kumboyono et al. (2018) undertook a study that sought to examine the mechanism of resilience in Indonesian people living with HIV/AIDS and the factors that influence their specific mechanisms.
Using qualitative phenomenological design, the researchers sampled a total of 27 people living with HIV/AIDS from a primary health care institution in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. The participants were selected from different socioeconomic, gender, and sexual orientations. The researchers informed participants about the conduct and processes involved in the study, resulting in their consent to participate in the interview process. The findings of the study indicated that the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS reflects the onset of psychological and social distress. Moreover, Kumbomoyo et al. (2018) found that the spiritual response that follows diagnosis is a state that is characterized by crises. As a consequence, the coping strategies and understanding of life by HIV patients is a definite sign on resilience. Based on these findings, Kumbomoyo et al. (2018) infer that HIV/AIDS is a chronic infection that has the potential to induce the unique .

Ethical Approaches An Overview of .docx
Ethical Approaches
An Overview of:
(1)Consequential,
(2) Nonconsequential, and
(3) Virtue Ethics Theories
What is Ethics?
Ethics is the study of those values that relate to our moral conduct,
including questions of good and evil, right and wrong, and moral responsibility.
Consequentialist Theoretical Approach:
-Consequentialist theories claim that the morality of an action depends only on its consequences.
-It only considers the result of actions and not principles or rules in determining morality.
1
Three (3) Types of Consequentialist Theories:
-Ethical Egoism argues that each person should act in his/her own self-interest.
-Act Utilitarianism argues that each person should act in a way that produces the greatest happiness
for everyone.
-Rule Utilitarianism argues that each person should follow rules that tend to produce the greatest
happiness for everyone.
Weaknesses of Consequentialist Theories
-Requires person to predict the future and all possible outcomes.
-Can easily be used to justify questionable actions (the ends justifies the means).
2
Nonconsequentialist Theoretical Approach:
Nonconsequentialist theories claim that the morality of an action depends on principles or other factors
that are not related to consequences.
Two (2) Types of Nonconsequentialist Theories:
-Divine command theory argues that we should obey the laws of God.
-Kant’s Categorical Imperative states that we should always act in a way that is based on reason, duty,
and would be considered ethical if everyone acted in the exact same way. Also, people should be
treated as an end and not as a means.
Weaknesses of Nonconsequentialist Theories: Self-Challenge Question:
Question: What might prove a problem in a country so diverse as the U.S. with regards to
Nonconsequentialist theories?
When you are ready check the expert’s response.

Virtue Ethics Theoretical Approach:
-Virtue ethics seeks to identify character traits of a moral person and develop those with the idea that the
virtuous person will act in a virtuous manner. It does not look to principles or consequences.
-Virtue ethics was developed among the ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and the Chinese
teacher and philosopher Confucius.
-Virtue ethics enjoys modern support as an approach that avoids many of the problems with
Consequential and Nonconsequential ethical theories.
Weaknesses of Virtue Theory
-Difficulty in determining just which characteristics are virtues
-Justification for respecting a virtue usually brings one back to either consequences or principles.
-Difficulty in applying it to specific situations

Ethical and Professional Issues in Group PracticeThose who seek .docx
Ethical and Professional Issues in Group Practice
Those who seek to be professional group leaders must be willing to examine both their ethical standards and their level of competence. Among the ethical issues treated in this chapter are the rights of group members, including informed consent and confidentiality; the psychological risks of groups; personal relationships with clients; socializing among members; the impact of the group leader’s values; addressing spiritual and religious values of group members; working effectively and ethically with diverse clients; and the uses and misuses of group techniques. In my opinion, a central ethical issue in group work pertains to the group leader’s competence. Special attention is given to ways of determining competence, professional training standards, and adjuncts to academic preparation of group counselors. Also highlighted are ethical issues involved in training group workers. The final section outlines issues of legal liability and malpractice.
As a responsible group practitioner, you are challenged to clarify your thinking about the ethical and professional issues discussed in this chapter. Although you are obligated to be familiar with, and bound by, the ethics codes of your professional organization, many of these codes offer only general guidelines. You will need to learn how to make ethical decisions in practical situations. The ethics codes provide a general framework from which to operate, but you must apply these principles to concrete cases. The Association for Specialists in Group Work’s (2008) “Best Practice Guidelines” is reproduced in the Student Manual that accompanies this textbook. You may want to refer to these guidelines often, especially as you study Chapters 1 through 5.
The Rights of Group Participants
My experience has taught me that those who enter groups are frequently unaware both of their basic rights as participants and of their responsibilities. As a group leader, you are responsible for helping prospective members understand what their rights and responsibilities are. This section offers a detailed discussion of these issues.
A Basic Right: Informed Consent
If basic information about the group is discussed at the initial session, the participants are likely to be far more cooperative and active. A leader who does this as a matter of policy demonstrates honesty and respect for group members and fosters the trust necessary for members to be open and active. Such a leader has obtained the informed consent of the participants.
Informed consent is a process that begins with presenting basic information about group treatment to potential group members to enable them to make better decisions about whether or not to enter and how to participate in a group (Fallon, 2006). Members have a right to receive basic information before joining a group, and they have a right to expect certain other information during the course of the group. Discussing informed consent is not a one-t.

Ethical (Moral) RelativismIn America, many are comfortable describ.docx
Ethical (Moral) Relativism
In America, many are comfortable describing ethics as follows: “Well, what’s right for me is right for me and what’s right for you is right for you. Let’s just agree to disagree.” This is an affirmation of what philosophers call
individual
or
subjective moral relativism
. In this understanding of relativism, morality is a matter of individual feelings and personal preference. In individual moral relativism, the determination of what is right and wrong in a situation varies according to the individual. Moral relativists do not believe in natural law or universal truths.
Cultural moral relativism
puts culture at the forefront of relative ethical decision-making. It says the individual must include the precepts of his or her culture as a prominent part of the relativistic moral action.
Lawrence
Kohlberg,
a prominent psychologist known for recognizing moral stages of development, takes it a step farther saying cultural relativists are persons stuck in the “
Conventional
Stage” of ethical development
.
In your paper, please define individual moral relativism and cultural moral relativism in detail, noting how they differ from each other, their strengths and weaknesses, and give your position on Kohlberg’s stance on ethical relativism.
What aspects of ethical relativism do you identify and agree with? What aspects do you disagree with? Give a personal example that illustrates your stance on ethical relativism, describing how you made a moral decision in an ethical dilemma. Include at least two references to support your thoughts.

Ethical and Human Rights Concerns in Global HealthChapter Fou.docx
Ethical and Human Rights Concerns in Global Health
Chapter Four
Chapter four: Ethical and human rights concerns in global health.
As with any area of health, global health is affected by the issues of ethics and right for sound health outcome. In this chapter we will explore ethical and human rights concerns, some of the central treaties and conversions related to human rights, some historically significant cases in human subject research and key principles for making critical decisions in health research.
1
Failure to respect human rights is often associated with harm to human health
Health research with human subjects puts people at risk for the sake of other people’s health
Health investments must be made in fair ways since resources are limited
The Importance of Ethical and Human Rights Issues in Global Health
Access to the health care is human right and failure to respect this right might causes harm for health. For example, the stigma associated with HIV, TB and leprosy makes it difficult for the patient to obtain necessary health care, it not only cause harm to individual health but as a whole community health even. For example, if a TB patient remains untreated by the health care workers, then that individual could be a source of infection for other people.
Health research with human subject in particular in low income countries where study participants may not have other option to obtain the medication might become a proxy of clinical trial for other people .Lastly, fair decision in health investment is critical because in low income countries where health resources are scare difficult decisions need to be made depending on the priority and severity of disease.
2
The Foundations for Health and Human Rights
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other legally binding multilateral treaties
Governments are obliged to respect, protect, and fulfill the rights they state
International Bill of Human Rights is the cornerstone for human rights. This bill include couple of documents including the Universal declaration of human rights that was officially declared in 1948, that place obligation on Government to respect , protect, and fulfill the rights of the state.
3
Selected Human Rights
The Rights-Based Approach
Assess health policies, programs, and practices in terms of impact on human rights
Analyze and address the health impacts resulting from violations of human rights when considering ways to improve population health
Prioritize the fulfillment of human rights
In considering human right, first we are going to examine the issue of right based approach. Some global health advocates argue that this approach, which thinks that fulfillment of people’s human right is conducive to their health, should be followed in global health. This means we need to assess health policies, programs or practices in terms of its impact on human right and analyze the health impacts from the perspective of violation of human rights

Ethical & Legal Aspects in Nursing WK 14
Please answer the following Discussion Question. Please be certain to answer the four questions on this week DQ and to provide a well-developed and complete answer to receive credit.
Case Study, Chapter 23, Professional Identity and Image
Nursing care is frequently perceived by the public as simple and unskilled. Many male nurses live in fear of how their caring actions might be interpreted. Many nurses hold that stereotypes about the profession are true, just as the general public does. Public identity and image has been a struggle for nurses for a long time. The greater public clearly does not understand what professional nursing is all about, and the nursing profession has done a poor job of correcting long-standing, historically inaccurate stereotypes.
1. What are the common nursing stereotypes?
2. What was the role of the Center for Nursing Advocacy? Discuss the role of Truth about Nursing in addressing inaccurate or negative portrayals of nursing in the media and the process they use to raise public and professional awareness of the issues surrounding nursing public image?
3. What are some of the ways of changing nursing’s image in the public eye?
4. One of the most important strategies needed to change nursing’s image is to change the image of nursing in the mind of the image makers. What are some of the key ways for nurses to interact with the media?

ORDER
JOHN JARVEY, Magistrate Judge
This matter comes before the court pursuant to trial on the merits which commenced on January 23, 2006. The above-described parties have consented to jurisdiction before a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). The court finds in favor of the plaintiff and awards compensatory damages in the amount of $3,800,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $7,600,000.
In this case, the plaintiff brings numerous theories of recovery against defendant Jerry Drizin arising out of the misappropriation of escrow funds that were to serve as security for financing for the construction of an ethanol plant in Manchester, Iowa. The plaintiff contends that defendant Drizin, in concert with others, knowingly converted funds from an escrow account that were not to have been spent on anything without the plaintiff's prior written permission. Defendant Drizin contends that his only client and only duty of loyalty was to a Nigerian citizen living in Munich who caused the funds to be sent to bank accounts controlled by Defendant Drizin. The court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law.
In 2000 in Manchester, Iowa, farmer and President of the local Co-op, Douglas Bishop, began meeting with representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture to explore the feasibility of building an ethanol plant in the Manchester area. The idea was to assist farmers in the area in getting more value for their crops. An ethanol plant produces ethanol and feed grain which can be sold at a profit exceeding that associated with the mere sale of grain.
A series of 40 local meetings culminated in a membership drive. The Plaintiff, Northeast Iowa Ethanol, L.L.C., was later formed in order to sell 2500 shares of stock in the L.L.C. to raise funds for the financing of the plant. The construction of the plant was expected to cost $21 Million. It would have a capacity for producing 15 million gallons of ethanol per year. Through the meetings, Mr. Bishop and others raised $2,365,000. The average investor purchased two shares.
The membership drive ended in September 2001. The original plan was to begin construction in the fall of 2001 and have the plant operating by the fall of 2002. However, the issue of financing for the plant was more problematic than plaintiff had anticipated. Traditional lenders (banks) demanded that the plaintiff raise forty percent of the construction costs. It was clear that the plaintiff could not raise $8 Million. Plaintiff's proposed marketing partner, Williams Ethanol Services, agreed to invest $1 Million in the project. The contractor anticipated to build the facility, North Central Construction from North Dakota,.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Essay Three ResearchEvery field has its problems whether t.docx
- 1. Essay Three: Research Every field has its problems whether these problems exist in academia or in the professional world. These problems can exist because of a difference in academic philosophy or theory. Furthermore, these problems can be a common occurrence in your industry. With this in mind, your research essay is going to focus on a problem within your discipline. Once you find a relevant issue in your discipline, you must convince your audience that this situation is a problem. Then, outline a proposal to fix that problem, explaining why your proposal is a reasonable solution to this problem. Concepts to consider: In order to begin your proposal, it is important to consider the rhetorical situation that has generated this question or problem. What does this situation say about the problem and how your solution might be beneficial? Who is involved in the problem and solution, and what are their concerns? Considering these elements of the situation will help convince the audience to support the task you’re proposing or even uptake the task you’re proposing. Also, consider whether or not your audience agrees that your topic is a problem. If they do not agree, you might have to spend more time explaining why the topic is a problem that needs to be addressed; on the other hand, if they already are asking the same questions surrounding your problem, you might decide to spend more time outlining the proposal for your readers. Stipulations: · Each essay MUST have a clear, identifiable THESIS STATEMENT. · Use at least six outside sources to support your points. Four of
- 2. your sources have to be peer-reviewed sources. · Each essay must be 2100-3000 words, 12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, and in the format of your discipline (APA or MLA).

Furthermore, make sure that your essay is in a .docx file format. · Each essay must have an academic essay title. Examples of academic titles: “Expanding the Concept of Translational Research: Making a Place for Environmental Health Sciences”; “Restoring Public Confidence in the Criminal Justice System: Policing Prosecutions When Prosecutors Prosecute Police.” Please make the most of it—do not just call this essay “Research Essay” or “Essay 3.” Due Dates Rough Draft (1700 words+. The work cited/reference page(s) doesn’t count): 4/24 via TITANium Introduction Media is always pointed at having negative effects on mental health. Media, including social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, among others, have rapidly developed. Facebook is considered to be the largest social networking site used globally. In the past decade, media has caused various changes, especially in the way individuals interact as well as communicate. However, it is not clear whether these changes may have an impact on the usual human characters. Previous research carried out shows that prolonged use of media may be associated with signs of depression. In addition, studies have also shown that the effects are associated with low self-esteem, and this mainly affects adolescents and children. However, other studies differ and have shown that media does
- 3. not affect negatively and no mental problems associated with the use of media. Thus, the relationship between media and mental health is controversial, and many questions have remained unanswered. Moreover, the research on this topic has experienced a lot of challenges. This paper focuses on findings regarding the association between the media and mental health issues such as internet addiction, depression signs and symptoms and low self-esteem. Media and Signs and symptoms of depression Various reasons suggest that media users are at risk of getting depressed. This is because there are many factors that may cause a depressed individual to increase their use or begin to use a social networking site. Among the reasons why media is associated with depressive symptoms is that it may lead to negative changes in the personality characteristics of other users. Generally, internet use affects the social relationship to the extent of affecting participation in community life. According to a study done by Kraut et al ., 1998 shows that increased time online is associated with reduced communication with other members of the family. This may result in an increased feeling of loneliness as well as depression. Further research suggests that computer use may have various negative effects, especially on the social development of children. This research focused on investigating possible impacts of internet browsing and other online uses such as email checking on mental health. As a result of the development of social networks, for example, Facebook in 2004, time spent online has greatly increased. On the other hand, time on interpersonal interaction has reduced, including among the family members. However, research on the relationship between the use of various social networking sites and depression has not been properly investigated. This is because most social networks and upgrade in the media are recent discoveries. According to a study carried out on high school population, it was found that there is a relationship
- 4. between time spent on social networking sites and depressive symptoms(Pantic et al ., 2012). However, different authors have found that media is not related to depressive symptoms especially older adolescents, for example, University students. This reaction towards media is different, and age is the main determinant (Kross et al ., 2013). Due to differences between different authors and lack sufficient evidence, it cannot be concluded that media causes depression. Recent arguments suggest that media strengthens social ties among family members, among others. As a result of strengthened social ties, thus there is social support which is of benefit to mental health. Media and stigma Media contribute largely to the stigma of mental illness. This is through inaccurate and exaggerated images as well as inaccurate information about mental illnesses. Various theories such as cultivation and social learning theory have been used to describe the relationship between media and stigma of mental illness(Wahl, 1995). According to cultivation theory, individuals who spend more of their time in the television and other virtual world, may think the real world according to the images they see. In other words, they are likely to perceive a virtual worldview of mental illness(Gerbner et al ., 2002). Social learning theory proposes that observation is also part of learning not only through direct experience. Media teaches about how to treat individuals with mental illness(Bandura et al ., 1994). In situations where personal experience with individuals who have mental illnesses is absent, people rely on the media. Unfortunately, media identifies and shows people with mental illness as unwanted individuals in society since they are seen as violent. Thus people with mental illness are feared and avoided(Link and Cullen, 1986). Studies have shown that negative views of individuals with psychiatric disorders are proportional to time spent on media. In most cases, television dramas show people with mental unpredictable. The media does
- 5. not make it clear to the public that only a small percentage of individuals with mental illness commit crimes. In additions, crimes committed by normal people are high compared to those committed by individuals with mental illnesses(Granello and Pauley, 2000). This, on the other hand, has resulted in the low self- esteem of individuals in the society. As defined by different by authors, self-esteem is how one values, likes and approves him or herself. Self-esteem is one of the most important factors in developing as well as maintaining mental health. Additionally, gender bias ness becomes evident, since men are shown to be having more serious disorders. Women are discriminated apparently, and men are shown to be the common gender that commits crimes. Media and addiction Media addiction, including internet addiction, is an upcoming phenomenon; thus, no sufficient research is done. Media addiction results in neglecting other important aspects of social functioning such as family as well as offline friends. Different studies have been carried out to show addiction disorder, especially of social networking sites(Pantic, 2014). Research carried out by Wolniczak et al ., 2013 on the sleep quality of Facebook users showed that Facebook dependence are related to poor quality of sleep. Of great concern is whether media addiction should be considered as a mental disorder. However, it is not clear whether it is an illness by its own or is a manifestation of other disorders. According to the Classification of Diseases and Health problems, there are various different criteria for dependence syndrome in other terms of addiction. Among the different criteria for dependence, the syndrome is a strong desire, difficulty in controlling consumption as well as difficulty in controlling the behavior. In the case where these features are evident, then a diagnosis should be made. Thus media addiction can be considered as a mental illness (World Health Organization. (2014) Dependence

This includes media addiction, the stigma of mental illnesses and also depression. This negative effect results to further effects in the society such as gender biasness. However, there has been a lot of controversy among different authors, whereby authors differ in opinions on the effects of media on mental health. Further research should be done to end the differences between different authors. The research should provide more evidence to prove the effects of media on mental health.
