This is due to the elevated heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure of the user. These defects in the normality of the body give in return an increase in athletic performance, decrease in fatigue, and increased energy. As these are all beneficial to the user, the problem then remains in the physical and mental addiction of the drug. Higher doses that become soon sought after cause harmful results. Aggressive behavior begins to take place as the person suffers from paranoia, depression, and…

Loss of appetite - brought by the patient’s refusal to eat hospital food. Generally, loss of appetite is attributed to decline in energy needs, which makes an individual to refuse or resist meals and liquids (Scott, n.d.). 2.

According to D.T. Max sleep is defined as a dynamic state characterized by shifting levels of electrical activity and the flow of chemicals into various regions of the brain. A pinhead size cluster of cells called the ventrolateral preoptics nucleus (VLPO) send signals to arousal centres to stop producing histamine and other chemicals that keep us awake. Another cell cluster called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) generates the “wake-up” cue that signals the VLPO to stop activating the arousal…
along with it?” Drawing on Plato’s Republic, I will argue that Frank Underwood is a true tyrant due do his close relations with Thrasymachus and his definition of justice, and his relentless drive for power that takes advantage of the unnecessary appetites of the democracy and finally, I will conclude Frank Underwood is truly a tyrant because all his unlawful desires will only leave him in a state of…
Nicomachean Ethics, Plato’s Republic, and Antigone each have different views of justice. The goal of this paper is to describe the ideas of justice in these three pieces of writing and to decide which piece Antigone fits with the best. In Nicomachean Ethics the meaning of justice could either be fairness or lawfulness. This conclusion can be drawn because Aristotle states injustice as unfairness and lawlessness. Laws attempt to encourage people to be virtuous, so the just person, who is lawful,…
Epigenetics. While it has been shown that the inheritance of specific genes can cause eating disorders, the reverse is also true. According to a Canadian study, the onset of eating disorders such as bulimia, especially when they are long term, can actually cause changes in the very expression of one’s genes. These changes can be passed down to progeny and increase their likelihood of developing an eating disorder as well. This phenomenon is known as epigenetics, and its biological mechanisms…
The famous example that could be used to illustrate what Aristotle means, by when he states “mean” is the example of someone who is a coward, this individual is seen in the bottom of the virtuous spectrum, and something that is excess is one who is reckless. But a virtuous person would be seen as someone who is courageous, this falls in the middle of the spectrum, which defines one who is not a coward nor reckless, but in the medium of these two. Aristotle is also elaborative and just doesn’t…
After invading the planet, these many-armed and hideous creatures begin capturing and eating every human is sight. After liberation, the people blame a man they call The Shepard for harvesting people (well, only parts of people) for the monarchs “appetites”. The Shepard, after learning their language, made a bargain with the…
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive tract or GI tract. The most common portion affected is the terminal portion of the ileum, or the first part of the large intestines. That is why another name for this disease is called ileitis or enteritis. According to Nordqvist “Approximately one fifth of all people with Crohn’s disease have a close relative with some type of inflammatory bowel disease. People of Jewish descent have a higher chance of…
In reality, achieving the common good in a representative democracy that is so diverse will not prosper; there will always be a subculture part of society that will disagree. We believe that although politicians do whatever they can in the public’s best interest, achieving the common good is not a realistic goal that many can achieve. It is not an idealistic goal for a diverse society to achieve the common good, because social issues such as human behaviour, government policies, religious…
