There was a lot of traffic on metro parkway (at 3:30pm); this gives me insight that this community is a working community.…

    CRR #7 Observations: In the reading Our Town by Thornton Wilder I felt the feeling of being included in the audience because he gives us the layout at the beginning. Another detail that contributes to this feeling of being included is by having the stage manager speak directly to us. When he starts describing the town and how small it is it reminds me of Porterville and how nothing really happens there or here. I find it sad when the stage manager tells us about all the things Joe is going to accomplish but ends up dying in the war.…

Often times, the relatively unprepared communities are not supportive of these patients and make them feel more out of place. A lack of community support causes relapse and therefore, readmission to hospitals (Yearwood, 2008). Another weakness comes from the fact that, often times, patients in these facilities are unable to care for themselves. This means they rely heavily on local centers, or support systems.…

It is difficult to witness the blatant neglect of the less…
