Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder - ADHD
When Mrs. Fallon first described this project to us, I was a little bit skeptical about it. I kept thinking that I had no problems in my life and that I didn’t need any type of conditioning. But then I thought, I’m definitely not perfect and I knew I was definitely overlooking something. Recently I was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and I felt like I was cheated out of so many years that could have been productive ones. So I decided that for my conditioning project I would test how much medication I should use that would keep my body stable enough to begin a sort of healing
and moving on process, kind of like a second chance. After I finished my conditioning I realized that I was a lot different then when I started. My parents noticed that once I started the project, I was paying attention a lot more to what they were saying to me.
My mother was worried though that I was going to hurt myself by taking a lot of the medication, but I told her that people have experimented on themselves before and look at the results. I also had calmed down with my dorm mates. I felt a lot more comfortable
around them and I had begun to trust them a lot more. I now felt like I had
accomplished something to make my physical body and my mental body better. In the areas of school I felt like I had accomplished a lot. I was handing in reports and I understood things I was learning. In high school I had trouble in ...

In her text, she states that cohabitation has become very famous in the United States. Jay also reports that young adults in their twenties see cohabitation as a preventive way to avoid divorce. The perception that she contradicts by pointing out that people who cohabit before marriage are more at risk of divorce because once they are married they become unsatisfied of their marriage, she calls this phenomenon the cohabitation effect. The author also punctuates that the problem of the cohabitation effect is that lovers do not really discuss their personal perception of cohabitation or what it will mean for them. Instead, they slide into cohabitation, get married, and divorce after realizing that they made a mistake. She proves her point by presenting a research which shows that women and men have a different interpretation of cohabitating prior marriage. Furthermore, the author emphasizes her argument by saying that the problem is not starting a cohabiting relationship but leaving that relationship which can be the real issue after all the time and money invested. Finally, Jay indicates that American’s mindset about their romantic relationship is changing and can be illustrated by the fact that more Americans started to see cohabitation as a commitment before
One of the most common uncertainties couples go through nowadays is making the decision of moving in with their significant other before marriage. In spite of the fact that, most religions disapprove this kind of act, couples believe that this will help their relationship lead into the direction of marriage. This is not always true. A woman named Meg Gay writes an excellent article in The New York Times called, “The Downside of Cohabiting Before Marriage.” Her point is straight to it because her opinion is stated in the title of her article. Meg Gay is a clinical psychologist at the University of Virginia, who confesses about one of her own clients stories about cohabiting and a failed marriage because of it. Her intended audience seems to be for people who may be in a relationship, or couples who are thinking about cohabitating before getting married with their partner. She definitely makes an impression on her readers to second guess themselves about the idea of cohabiting with their partners so that they will have a successful marriage, not just a temporary partner.

The third article goes over the problems in organizing black feminists while the fourth article goes over black feminist issues and practice. In the third article, the author explains how they not only have to fight just one oppression, rather than a whole range of oppressions. The fourth section goes over the idea of equality between white women and black women. The black women strive to allow the white women to see things from their point of view and are attempting to allow others to have an idea of how much racism there truly is for them. Overall, this book explains the experiences that black feminists faced from their own

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), once called hyperkinesis or minimal brain dysfunction, is one of the most common mental disorders among children. (Elia, Ambrosini, Rapoport, 1999) It affects 3 to 5 percent of all children, with approximately 60% to 80% of these children experiencing persistence of symptoms into adolescence and adulthood, causing a lifetime of frustrated dreams and emotional pain. There are two types of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: an inattentive type and a combined type. The symptoms of ADHD can be classified into three categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This behaviour stops ADHD sufferers from focussing deliberately on organising and completing a specific task that they may not enjoy, learning new skills or information is proved to be impossible. An example of such behaviour is recognised by the report written by the National Institute of Mental Health where one of the subjects under study was unable to pass schooling examinations due to her inattentive behaviour. Such behaviour can damage the person's relationships with others in addition to disrupting their daily life, consuming energy, and diminishing self-esteem. (National Institute of Mental Health 1999) There are also secondary symptoms which are associated with ADHD, such as learning disorders, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, tic disorders, and conduct disorders. (Spencer, Biederman, and Wilens 1999 in Monastra V, Monastra D, George, 2002)
African American women had a great contribution to the American Revolution even though they were still enslaved after America’s Independence from the British. Through literature and bravery African American Women were able to make a difference in their life. These actions of African American women brought them the freedom they always deserved by not having to be anyone’s slave anymore. During the American Revolution Phillis Wheatley and Elizabeth Freeman’s actions affected what rights they would obtain after the revolution.
Women have always been fighting for the rights of others and rights for themselves; they’ve stated time after time that everyone should be equal. Equality in America meant everything to women; equality between whites and blacks, Native Americans and whites, and women and all of America. “There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women,” (DuPont 12; Lewis). Passages such as the pervious sentence are just a few of many that express women’s feelings towards women’s rights and suffrage. However, women did want changes in rights for all people, but with women being women it caused a problem with people taking them seriously. In this research paper, I will be addressing three women who were abolitionists and/or activists.
Maria Miller Stewart’s career as a lecturer and activist began after her husband David Walker’s passing. Walker, an activist and author, left Maria to carry on his legacy of activism and she did not disappoint. In 1832, Stewart became first woman to speak to a promiscuous crowd of both women and men (of both races) at Boston’s Franklin Hall for the New England Anti Slavery Society. This was absolutely unheard of before Stewart, no woman had ever spoken to a large crowd ...
The woman’s struggle for equality has been a long, hard process since the 1850’s and still persists into modern times. Women were brave enough to branch away from the societal norm of being a submissive female. Unfortunately, they were often ridiculed for their actions or dismissed (Donnaway). Although African American women would have an even tougher battle ahead of them. An African American female born into slavery around 1797, Sojourner Truth fought for the cause and made a lasting impact as an activist. (Butler). In 1851 Truth made a huge impact on the African American woman’s struggle with her speech entitled, “Ain 't I a Woman?” by describing her own struggle in a way that also explained all of their struggles. The speech made
During the early 1900’s, women and slaves in the United States were fighting for their freedom in society. These brave slaves and women stood up against the laws of that time to earn their rights. Many of these activists became well known during this time, and now in textbooks. One woman stood up for the rights of both women and people of color, Sojourner Truth was born into slavery and escaped after the fight for abolitionism had begun. Sojourner had seen the hardships of being a woman and a slave in her long life. Experiencing prejudice from being a slave and a woman, Sojourner Truth spoke out with enthusiastic speeches on woman rights and slavery in conventions
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, normally abbreviated as ADHD, is a disorder in which a person has trouble paying attention and focusing on tasks, tends to act without thinking and has trouble sitting still. This condition may begin in early childhood and continue into adulthood. Without treatment ADHD can cause problems at home, school, work and any social gatherings.
It is not a new thought that today’s young Americans are facing issues, problems and difficult decisions that past generations never had to question. In a world of technology, media, and a rough economy, many young adults in America are influenced by a tidal wave of opinions and life choices without much relevant advice from older generations. The Generation Y, or Millennial, group are coming of age in a confusing and mixed-message society. One of these messages that bombard young Americans is the choice of premarital cohabitation. Premarital cohabitation, or living together without being married (Jose, O’Leary & Moyer, 2010), has increased significantly in the past couple of decades and is now a “natural” life choice before taking the plunge into marriage. Kennedy and Bumpass (2008) state that, “The increase in cohabitation is well documented,such that nearly two thirds of newlyweds have cohabited prior to their first marriage”(as cited in Harvey, 2011, p. 10), this is a striking contrast compared with statistics of our grandparents, or even parents, generations. It is such an increasing social behavior that people in society consider cohabitation “necessary” before entering into marriage. Even more, young Americans who choose not to cohabitate, for many different reasons, are looked upon as being “old-fashioned”, “naive”, or “unintelligent”. This pressure for young people to cohabitate before marriage is a serious “modern-day” challenge; especially when given research that states, “... most empirical studies find that couples who cohabited prior to marriage experience significantly higher odds of marital dissolution than their counterparts who did not cohabit before marriage”, stated by Jose (2010) and colleagues (as c...
Supporters of cohabitation argue that testing pre-marital compatibility is the best method for a relationship to quit or move forward. People are concerned about whether or not they are marrying the right person, so the option of living toge...
