    he difference between race and ethnicity is that race is associated with biology whereas ethnicity is associated with culture. Race and ethnicity can obviously overlap, but they are distinct. For example, a bi-racial person would probably consider themselves as a member of a certain race, but, if they don't engage in any of the practices or customs of their ancestors, they might not identify with the ethnicity, but might instead consider themselves to be a member of their counterpart race. The United States is a unique country due to the convergence of multiple races within itself. Even though the people who live in the US bring with them their cultural identity from wherever they came from, it becomes influenced by American culture.…

    However, at the end of the day genetics are the most important factor; some children are more genetically vulnerable than others to mental illness, and some children end up more resilient. Resilient children understand that they are not responsible for the flaws of their parents, and are able to continue living life regardless of the challenges. Doctors can actually diagnose children early on to see whether or not they may suffer from depression. A study done showed that behaviours at age 8 predicted the potential risk for depressive symptoms in late adolescence and early adulthood (Lee et al., 2013). Another interesting fact is that children with physical…

    Helms’ (1990) Racial identity theory, is defined as a sense of group or collective identity based on one’s perception that he or she shares a common racial heritage with a particular racial group (Bagley & Copeland, 1994). While race encompasses a common heritage with a specific group, there a many races that utilize this theory to identify special characteristics about their racial group which desire greater understanding and examination. Critical Race Theory (CRT), places race at the center of analysis and assumes racism is omnipresent, even if it isn’t recognized as such (Quaye, 2013).

    Did you know that approximately 80,000 people are being held in solitary confinement in the United States right now, and that these 80,000 people come only from the 38 states that still utilize solitary confinement in their prison systems? If the goal of prison really is rehabilitation, the inmates should be helped, not harmed. Solitary confinement is inhumane treatment and therefore, it should be abolished. For those of you who don’t know much about solitary confinement, here is some background: not all states still incorporate solitary confinement into their prison systems, but in Massachusetts, inmates can be sentenced to solitary confinement for up to 10 years, where they are only allowed 5 hours a week of outdoor recreation.…

    A placebo is often used in clinical trials to measure the effectiveness of a particular drug or treatment. If the drug is shown to be significantly more effective than the placebo, then the drug is generally accepted to work (Parella et al., 2012). There are two main problems described by the researchers. First, the placebo effect is highly dependent on a number of factors including: the person, the type of treatment, and the disorder. Second, the placebo effect has never been the focus of a study in children, and it is unwise to extend the findings in studies of adults because children and adults are incredibly different psychologically (Parella et al. 2012).…
