Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) in Adolescents: The Role of Identity and Interpersonal Motivating Factors Self-injury is a behaviour seen by many as strange and incomprehensible; injuring oneself is ordinarily something one goes to great lengths to avoid and it is therefore difficult for most people to understand the experience of an individual who engages in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). NSSI is becoming increasingly prevalent within contemporary adolescent populations; this trend has been…

Former First Lady, Michelle Obama, addressed the issue of mental illness by saying, “At the root of this dilemma is the way we view mental health in this country. Whether an illness affects your heart, your leg, or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there should be no distinction.” In America, most people view mentally ill entities differently than someone with an illness in their heart or any other body part. It’s seen as more extreme if someone has a mental issue and they are categorized…

I will start this by being brutally honest, I tend to indulge myself in things others would refer to as “mushy crap”; ice cream, boy bands, badly written romance novels, all things I enjoy, along with Waitress. The musical based closely off of a 2007 film of the same name, opened on Broadway in April of 2016 and has been experiencing a successful run so far, with a tour scheduled for 2017. I had the pleasure of seeing Waitress this summer, in early July and, admittedly, shed a tear or two, or…

The executive arm of the government under the President wields more power as compared to the Congress. The feeling that power should be shared 50-50 between the Presidency and the Congress is a fallacy. Foreign policy involves various players, the executive arm, and the Congress being the major policy contributors (Hastedt 169).However, the Presidency has several key arms that provide a superior advantage. Considering that the Presidency is established on a purely political process, the Congress…

A study by E. Glenn Schellenberg at the University of Toronto at Mississauga, as published in a 2004 issue of Psychological Science, “found a small increase in the IQs of six-year-olds who were given weekly voice and piano lessons” (Pinczuk, Jane). Even though it was…

After working at the club, Price-Glenn explains how work roles, authority, and interactions between co-workers create gendered processes in the club: “Gendered processes are commonplace workplace activities that, in the case of The Lion’s Den, reproduced gendered inequalities by patterning men’s dominance and women’s subordination.”(49). In this club, jobs structure themselves around the mainstream gender roles that society ingrains within itself. Yet, the importance of stereotypical ideas of…

digest. An example of this would be a commercial of a teenage walking into the gas station to buy cigarettes and ends up ripping her teeth out for a pack cigarettes. These commercials make you cringe and want to close your eyes. Definitely eye openers in the Anti-Smoking agencies (Glenn Leshner 485). Terries commercial has a strong emotional mixture of both. The audience gets the impression that the U.S department of Health is presenting a biased, worst case scenario viewpoint towards smokers.…

capable and talented. This can be seen in Hamilton, where historically white figures are played by people of color. The casting choice did not change the narrative of the story. Waitress employed a mostly female cast, and portrays Asian actress Kimiko Glenn in a larger role that was originally written for a white woman. These choices display a more realistic representation of who we are as Americans. Eclipsed was the first Broadway show to be portrayed by all black women, and to be directed by a…

The states had “officially” won the space race by landing on the moon. That all started with the soviets first launching the sputnik in 1957. It was a close thought that the United States would actually fail. The soviets had made a total of four miss failed attempts to launch their lunar spacecrafts, between the years 1969 to 1972. This includes one major mishap with the explosion of a launch-pad in 1969…

did just that. He worked through several influential decades of news coverage as well as setting the bar for all news anchors after him. His career covered events starting with World War II and all the way up to the 1998 launch of astronaut, John Glenn. Through those many years he earned himself the nickname the most trusted…
