Biological classification

Unfortunately, the influence of Asclepiades and Cicero eventually declined and the Roman physician, Celsus, reestablished the notion that madness was a punishment from the Gods. Aulus Cornelius Celsus (25BC-50AD) believed that “a sort of force” should be applied to the insane to scare the demonic spirit, coercing it to flee the body. His beliefs helped to strengthen the idea that some psychological disorders were caused by angry gods or spirits. His beliefs and writings were later used as…

identify the culprit from the given information (evidence.) But sometimes it’s not that easy. When there are no witnesses, or forensic evidence, they must go look for probable suspects. That is when criminal profiling comes in to play, as it creates a “biological sketch of behavioral patterns, trends, and tendencies” (Rossi, 1982) So from evidence inferences that may be made about the psychological relationship between crimes and offenders, we can deduce potential suspect, giving cranial…

Treatment of moderate to severe alcohol use disorder has been a difficult and previously under-researched disease. In the past thirty years, new models have been proposed with their own advantages and disadvantages. Currently, the most accepted form of treatment is the biopsychological model. In this paper, the biopsychological model will be assessed via treatment options, peer-reviewed research, and historical applications. Due to the accessibility of alcohol, this is a dangerous disease…

classify people. This means that the only differences between races are the same value as, say, my eye color being brown and someone else 's being blue. There is not biological basis for distinguishing humans along the lines of race. However, skin color is not any better than these other methods yet has been widely used and the classification carries . Yet we give it significance and it comes to symbolize far more than other traits, like height. They argue that race is a topic which will always…

race in our text is a socially constructed category of people who share similar biological traits that people in society consider important. Physical characteristics are usually the main form of classification people rely on when classifying one another racially. Examples of these physical characteristics would be skin color, facial features, body shape, and hair texture. We like to think of race in terms of biological elements (or inheritance of genetics), but in actually it is a socially…

Importance of studying cancer Cancer is a vastly complex disease exhibiting a plethora of genomic alterations and resulting regulatory failures at the root of its progression. Following the milestone of the Human Genome Project (HGP) era, researchers are now focusing on integrating the rich genome-wide association studies (GWAS), single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, and identified gene signatures within the in vitro, in vivo and clinical frameworks to further our understanding of the…

Nursing Informatics Pioneers Comparison of Two Nursing Informatics Pioneers The theory for Nursing Informatics began with Florence Nightingale who stated “In attempting to arrive at the truth, I have applied everywhere for information, but in scarcely an instance have I been able to find hospital records fit for any purpose of comparison” (Nightingale, 1863; Ozbolt & Saba, 2010, p. 199). As the field of Nursing Informatics has evolved, many informatics nurses have made substantial contributions…

What defines abnormal and Normal behaviour? Society, laws, age groups and religious beliefs are just some factors which determine how people’s behaviour is viewed. For example in the UK it is illegal for girls under 16 years of age to get married; however this is not the case in more than over at least 30 countries worldwide, the UK multicultural residents, attempt to continue to practice their traditions regardless of the law breaking social norms. Underage forced marriages are a still problem…

The focus will be on the combination of traits which together form supertraits and the biological differences between extroverts and introverts. Eysenck has developed a strategy which divides the fundamentals of personality into a hierarchically arranged structure (Burger, 2004). The bottom level of this structure is the specific response level…

The autobiography, My Bondage and My Freedom, by Frederick Douglass, illustrates the life and the journey of a born slave in Maryland, into liberation and the gradual understanding of slavery’s inconsistencies in general. He tells his story the public sphere, white non slaveholders, in hopes of helping them gain a better understanding of what slavery truly is from a first hand perspective. It starts off with a realization that he, his grandmother, and everyone around him belonged to someone…
