stress becomes chronic the “GC-dependent negative feedback mechanism that controls stress response does not work” (Mariotti, 2015) causing resistance and the “molecular mediators to remain high” (Mariotti, 2015). Mental connections, the immune system, heart health, and the skeletal system are all at risk of damage and negative long-term…
athletes strive to replicate. “PCFP over produces red blood cells, allowing for more oxygen intake, something that is good for one’s endurance. However many fail the recognize the dangers of possible hemorrhagic events; clotting, bleeds, strokes and heart attacks. It also results in blood with very low viscosity” (Cowart 3), leading to even more potential dangers. Many cyclists die, because of this. Humans are not equipped to handle this. The body works harder, when using drugs, than it would…
The Broken Window’s Theory was developed by Professor James Q. Wilson and Professor George L. Kelling. Wilson and Kelling examined the relationship between disorder in a community and the criminal activity in that community. Their theory is based on the idea that one broken window in a building is a signal to potential criminals that the building and the community is not cared about. This leads the potential criminals to think that criminal deviancy is invited because no one appears to care…
Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell talks about the crime epidemic in New York City in the 1980’s, and more so what happened to turn the epidemic around. With compelling and intricate arguments, he detailed how something called the Power of Context and the Broken Windows Theory managed to turn the New York subways, and eventually the city as a whole around from alarming high amounts of crime to the widespread belief that shooting someone on the subway was a radial notion. This discussion starts out…
Ethnography is a study used by sociologists to emerge within a group and observe how they operate. Within Sidewalk Gotta Go and Sidewalk Sleeping, Duneier is able to see what is unseen by the average tourist in New York City. Although he had submerged himself with this a group of street vendors on Sixth Avenue, there are advantages and disadvantages to an ethnographical study. Mitchell Duneier was able to work with the street vendors and learn why they had chosen to sleep outside, or why they…
The broken windows theory was proposed by two men named James Q. Willson and George Kelling in 1982. Their theory states “that crime is disorder and that if disorder were stopped, then serious crimes would therefore not occur.” If the smaller crimes were stopped, it would prevent bigger crimes in the future is how I see it. The simple definition is that if a broken window, left unattended, this would signal that no one cared and therefore ultimately lead to more disorder and even crime. So how…
Broken windows theory is a criminological theory of the norm setting and being able to indicate urban disorder. Broken windows theory is also the belief that ignoring public order violations and disruptive behavior leads to community neglect, which fosters further disorder and crime. If you were to go to an unfamiliar neighborhood and see broken windows, spray painted walls, and abandon cars, your first instinct would tell you that the neighborhood must be unsafe. This theory is based off of…
skeletal system is to provide support and protection for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and the heart. In addition, the bones with the help of muscle give the body structure for mobility. There’s various diseases that can affect the bones but osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases that affects people in America (Mayo Clinic: Osteoporosis 2014). Bones are tissues that are frequently broken down and then replaced. Osteoblasts are in charge of making bone and osteoclasts are…
1894 a time frame where women had no power or say in anything. They were caretakers, in this day and age women stayed home, took care of the children, cooked and cleaned as the men worked. Men were the shining stars during this age in time, women were in the background unless spoken to, or told what to do the did nothing. What everyone who was not a woman during this time failed to realize is that women had feelings too, they had ambitions and desires but they were never heard. Women lived in…
