- 851: Is Ritalin Over Prescribed?
- ... Administration has classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, in the same category as cocaine, methadone and methamphetamine (Snyderman 1). Both cocaine and Ritalin use the same receptor site in the brain, giving the same "high" and in medical research are used interchangeably. The only difference between cocaine and Ritalin is that cocaine leaves the receptor site quicker than Ritalin, possibly making it more addictive (Snyderman 1). Ritalin is not a ... any kind of psychological work-up - all essential diagnostic elements. One teacher I spoke to about Ritalin said she could tell you the doctor a child goes to if he or she showed up to school unexpectedly with Ritalin.

- ... they must be more frequent or severe than in others at the same age. Above all, the behaviors must create a real handicap in at least two areas of a person’s life, such as school, home, work, or social settings. So someone whose work or friendships are not impaired by these behaviors would not be diagnosed with ADHD. Nor would a child who seems overly active at school but functions well elsewhere.

Rather, the stimulants help children control their hyperactivity, inattention, and other behaviors. Different doctors use the medications in slightly different ways. Cylert is available in one ...
- 853: The Real Reason Behind The Rec
- By: Eric Rucker E-mail: emrucker@zoomnet.net Family environment and the press are two major influences resulting in the recent tragic school shootings. As much as society continues to focus the killing rampages on factors such as television and music, what children are exposed to in reality contributes to the violence. The most recent school shooting in Michigan involved a six-year-old first grader who killed a classmate with a .22 caliber pistol. The news coverage had vanished after two or three days, and I was left wondering what had happened. Considering the fact that the media wore the Columbine incident out, I wanted to know why they did not pay more attention to this school shooting. As evidence did arrive, it was discovered that the child lived in a household where cocaine, heroin, and many other illegal drugs were commonplace. Also in this “home” guns were easily accessible to ...

- 856: American Studies
- ... the past and current methodological approaches in studying American culture and what different authors have to say. “The methodology of early American Studies practitioners in the 30s, 40s, and 50s was named the symbol myth school approach.

The American mind is influenced by movements that run through our past Pragmatition, Transcendentalism, and Liberation 5. Popular culture is legit image to study, but the whole of American is best revealed in “high literature.”” (Gene Wise) Again, looking at the other side of the situation, there is Linda Kerber’s point of view.

- ... falls in the hands of the performers themselves. Their physical presence coupled with their manipulation of the tangible environment which they inhabit are the tools that forge much of the plays’ structure.

The background required includes not only the ability to execute ... work.’ The full compliment of artist contained in this description are Decroux, Barrault, Marceau, and Lecoq. He discovered his interest and aptitude for mime by way of his participation in athletics. Jean Daste, within whose school and company Lecoq was to initially train, had worked directly with Copeau. In the current production, there are a number of performers who have studied his work at L’Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris. These ... on by Lecoq. In the article ‘Mime, Movement, Theatre’ appearing in Rolfe’s book, Lecoq comments on the nature of the work he explores. ‘Often people ask me “What is it you do in your school, is it mime?” I always feel that the one who asks that question limits the school to a wordless formalism.

- 858: Affirmative Action
- ... the importance of affirmative action. Cannon 9 The opportunities are there, but too many young people are just not aware of the opportunities that are available. It is extremely important that every single student in high school has some level of understanding what affirmative action is really about. If young Americans were being educated about the wide opportunities that are available for them, more would give it a try to acquire a higher education or job training.

- 860: My Goals and Aspirations
- My Goals and Aspirations It’s unbelievable how each year, since the beginning of high school, my perfectly laid plans for myself have unavoidably deteriorated. When I entered my freshman year, I had aspirations of being a doctor (something I had wanted to be since I was a child); I was even taking Latin to help with the medical jargon. Now, here I am entering my senior year in high school without any idea of what I want to do. Now seems to be the time to start taking life seriously and making responsible, educated choices. Looking back on it now, I realize that ...
