Old World monkey

Theoretical Framework The theoretical framework of this article is centered on the association between age identities, perception of age, and health. This concept is analyzed from the prospective of when middle age ends, when old age starts, and desired as well as self-perceived age. Age identity, age perception, and health have more similarities than differences among them. The theoretical concept of this article is based on social identity theory and identity theory. It measures people’s…

Age is an important factor in determining the response of brain tumors to chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Patients over sixty years old have a lower response rate and shorter duration of response than younger patients. Tumor cells from younger patients were sensitive to BCNU, but cells from older patients barely responded to the BCNU. Only a few studies evaluate age as a parameter of response. Older patients may have to take medicine due to chronic illnesses, and this means that there…

Now that I am at the end of my fall semester, I have been asked to reflect back on some of the teachings from my world literature class. For this discussion I will point out a recurring theme in the Koran and some of the comparisons of the Koran and the Bible, particularly Noah and Joseph, and a few of the views from Augustine, who was a fourth and fifth-century theologian and philosopher. When reading the stories (or suras) in the Koran, let us look at the recurring verse “merciful and…

principal. Their kids went to a nice private school, and had the latest in kiddy fashion (my 6 year old cousin had her own iphone 6 plus). When asked about the drought, my eleven year old cousin dressed in a nice button down shirt and khaki pants replied with “What drought?”. “Alright”, I thought, “Maybe he’s too young to know about the drought”. But what really took me by surprise was the fact that my 18 year old cousin, who was now attending CSU Long Beach, Catie, had never even known that…

The Circle of Life in the Ecchoing Green, by William Blake Blake uses the symbolic nature of the world in the Ecchoing Green to describe the stages of life, and how life is an echo that repeats itself over and over until the final stage of life: Death. He does this by using the fresh beginning of spring in the first stanza, the reminiscence of old people in the second stanza, and the darkening events that evening holds in the third stanza. The Ecchoing Green is a Ballade, which is a sonnet that…

saying, definitely one to live by! Overall the Bible should have some authority on everyone, as it sure does on me. The 10 commandments is another example of what one should follow. It really depends on where you search for answers in the Bible. The Old Testament is hard to assimilate when it comes to finding authoritative life lessons that could help in life. The New Testament is another story. The New Testament is closer to our era, therefore some of the passages in the New Testament can…

THE LAW OF LIBERTY Introduction The Law of Liberty is initially mentioned in James 1:25, “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continue therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” At this point, James is referring to the Gospel, even though it is termed a law, it is not, firmly speaking; a law is authorized and obligated. But, here it is an affirmation of uprightness and deliverance by Jesus Christ, a proposal…

People have to go through various stages in life from birth until they reach an old age. In past years most people have been changing their ideology to the word "old age". Elderly experience changes in some aspects of their lives for instance elderly start presenting physical changes because of the decline in the normal functioning of the body such as vision, poor mobility, hearing, and memory.

the influence, along with many other behaviors one may consider reckless. However, self neglect in the elder community is much more complicated (O’Brien 1999) than simply not being perfect all the time with healthy habits. The book “Out of this World : A Collection of Hermits and Recluses," written by Helen…

In this passage, possibly the most important nature of Jesus, particularly in his relationship with the Law, is revealed: He is come to bring new order, while maintaining the old. He was the force of a change, and at the same time the protector of the tradition. As stated multiple times, the Law was here to stay, regardless of what Jesus do. The Law was not going to change, but the people were. Upon Jesus’ crucifixion, Jews…
