In today’s day in age, the amount of people killing other innocent people has been on the rise dramatically than it has ever been. Due to these tragic occurrences, many people believe that the amount of guns are the problem for this to happen. However, guns do not kill people. It is the person behind the guns who kill others ruthlessly. In this paper, I will argue that there needs to be a more awareness on the mental health part of this issue and an updated amount of background checks is needed…

Laziness. The state of unwillingness to work or to use any energy. If a patient with an emotional disorder was told that they could be well again if they were only to work for it and it could cure them. One would think that the patient would jump on the offer. However, working through therapy seems like the harder option, when all they would have to do is pop pills to feel better even for just a short amount of time.

The reason why we – coaches – administer screens is first and foremost to ensure that our clients have the ability to carry out the fundamentals of movements. By ensuring that the fundamentals of movement – our baseline - are there, we minimize the risk of injury (Setanta College, 2017). One method of assessing the…

Introduction Down syndrome, while perhaps one of the most physically recognizable conditions of developmental disability, is still one of the least studied.

Down syndrome occurs in one out of eight hundred live births, and is the most common genetic cause of mental retardation (National Institutes of Health, 2005). Idea Definition Downs syndrome can fall…
