Interaction

Gene-environment interaction and its effect on obesity disease Unlike what is usually portrayed on media, obesity is not just a problem of unhealthy lifestyle but in fact influenced by genetic factor as well. Genetic factor is believed to attribute 40 – 70% in the development of obesity (Shawky & Sadik, 2012). In other words, environment, genotypes and the association of these two factors play roles in the phenotype expression, which, in this case, is obesity. With regards to environmental…

Growing up, I was an extremely shy, insecure person. Social interaction had always been an intimidating and anxiety-filled experience for me. Every time I had a conversation with someone, my heart started throbbing and sweat drenched my skin, so I barely talked during young age. It continued through my young teenage year. I never participated in class discussions, even if the teacher called on me, it would just be an awkward silence. At the time, I didn’t notice of all the unpleasant and painful…

Interaction Amongst individuals: How does it really Work? Individuals within a community have to work together as one for the common goal of a healthy living unit for all. This can only be achieved by letting go of ratification and working as a whole towards this goal healthy living. Ratification is when people look for a facts and approval of the explanation another individual is giving them. Terrance Brunk, English professor and author of “Reading, Ratification, and Risk” goes into…

In the early days of the 20th century, communication was only identified as a physical activity and was limited to face-to-face interactions. This restricted communication made interaction limited and hence, social activities and relationships thrived on physical meet ups. Owing to the shortcoming that arose as a result of inaccessible means of communication, several types of social meet up events were designed around this fact. The elite families of the Victorian era, arranged events like…

Personal Reaction “Geraldine pressed her face to the glass, peering out. She saw the paramedics pushing a gurney toward the front door of her house…..Then the paramedics wheeled the gurney back out, carrying someone covered by a sheet” (Story) The illustration of the gurney being wheeled out of the house and the emotional uncertainty Geraldine experienced is an traumatic imagery that would evoked emotions within myself if working with this case. If I was the social worker working with this case…

gesture and body movement. In my interaction with Carolina, my intention was for her to talk as much as possible because we were alone I knew that would not be a problem. Carolina is an 11-year-old bilingual who speaks both Spanish and English. Spanish being her native language due to her parents. My three main goals are to cover the effects language has on Carolina in school, if being bilingual affects her development, also the biculture she is a part of. In my interaction with Carolina, we…

With interests in multiple areas of study it makes it difficult to decide on one for a cognate. I have spent most of my time considering security or human computer interaction. Both of these are viable options and I think the security lecture has brought what computer security really is into my focus(Security Lecture). While researching majors I stumbled upon a computer forensics masters program and I looked into it,…

In choosing symbolic interactionism for this discussion post I referred to a period of my life spent living and working in a planned retirement community in Norther Arkansas. Working within this community of predominately retired and aged couples offered unique insight into the final chapters of many varied and distinctive lives. Interacting and working for such a highly specific sub-culture presented very specific and often unique challenges. The service industry was the main employer in this…

Like Pannenberg’s hypothetic consonanitst model, Russell’s “Creative Mutual Interaction” model looks at the dialogue both in terms of “consonance” and “dissonance” in pursuit of “coherence” between natural sciences and theology. In such a mutual dialogue, theology should not merely serve as science’s religious interpreter as is normally done in so-called “two-worlds” perspectives. Rather, “theology can indeed offer creative suggestions in the form of questions, topics, or conceptions of nature…

The interaction between Antigone and Ismene in the opening scene of the tragedy plays an integral role as the introduction to the conflict. Their dialogue revolves around Creon’s decree that Polyneices is to go unburied for his traitorous act against the state. This matter reflects their role as women, daughters, and sisters in Greek society. Each sister personifies a different perspective on Creon’s edict, both having serious ramifications on the tragedy as a whole. Their conflicting beliefs…
