- Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a mental disorder marked by the loss of contact with reality. When a person's thinking, feeling, and behavior is abnormal, it interferes with his or her ability to function in everyday life. Delusions, hallucinations, and irregular thinking and emotions are produced. If these signs are present, he or she ... researchers are focusing on four leading theories: the Genetic Theory, the Environmental Theory, the Biochemical Theory, and the Bio-Psycho-Social Theory. The Genetic Theory argues that schizophrenia is caused by traits in a person's genetic makeup. A normal person has twenty-three pairs of chromosomes. Each pair contains one chromosome from each parent. In corresponding locations called loci of each chromosome, the genes for specific traits are located. Some ... researchers believe that mutations with these genes can cause schizophrenia. We inherit our genes from our parents, but this does not mean that the parents of a schizophrenic are mentally ill. Problems in a person’s genetic make up could come from mutated chromosomes or recessive genes. In an attempt to prove this theory, scientists study identical twins.

- 13232: Is It Possible To Lose Your Sa
- ... verses in the Bible that hint toward the answer of the question, but each verse can be interpreted in more than one way. The only way one can find the true answer is by God’s special revelation. There are a few verses in the book of Matthew that lead us to believe that one can lose his/her salvation. “Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before ... him before my Father in heaven.” These verses put it very bluntly. They basically say, “Whoever is saved will receive salvation, but whoever refuses salvation is no longer saved.” But as said before, this isn’t a black and white answer. This verse can also be interpreted that would lean toward the side that says you can’t lose your salvation. Many say that a denial of Christ cannot be made from one who is truly saved. One may temporally have a lapse of faith or step away from God (i.e. ...
- 13233: Justice In Plato Versus Justic
- ... her pupils would be somewhat similar to those in his or her teachings. Often enough the student decides to take what he or she learns from his teacher and expands or even opposes his teacher's ideas.

Although under the tutelage of Plato for over nineteen years and teaching at the Platonic Academy, Aristotle had many different views in ... which justice in Plato is constructed include but are not limited to education, interdependence of a communities sub-units, philosophy, the separation of public and private life, truth, as well as no movement. In Plato's Republic, justice is defined in many different ways, none of which seem to keep Socrates content. Cephalus insisted that justice was telling the truth and paying one's debts. Polemarchus, Cephalus' son, maintained that justice was paying one's dues. Socrates refuted their argument by using a mad man as an example. He proved that if one man borrowed another man's ...

- ... sleep unnecessary for hours or even days, it was later discovered to be the stimulant cocaine. They would take it before long hunts, battles, and even found it useful in ancient sport competitions. It wasn't until 1886 that the first drug-related death in sports occurred. A bicyclist took a mixture of cocaine and heroine, called the "speedball," and died from it. Little were the doctors aware the epidemic that would follow in the next century. Anabolic steroids, developed in the 1930's in Europe, are drugs that help to build new body tissue quickly, but with drastic side effects. Anabolic means the ability to promote body growth and repair body tissue. It comes from the Greek word anabolikos meaning "constructive." Steroids are basically made up of hormones. One woman training to make the 1984 US women's basketball team used them, her muscles started to bulge, her voice grew deeper, and she even had the beginnings of a mustache. These are all the usual symptoms of anabolic steroids. Steroids were not ...

- 13236: Julius Caesar 3
- ... to persuade Casca to join the conspiracy, Cassius says, so vile a thing as Caesar! But O grief, where hast thou led me? I perhaps speak this before a willing Bondman! Considering that Casca doesn t like the idea of being a subject to Caesar, he immediately becomes offended and joins the conspiracy. Another example is the first scene of the play. Marullus says to the commoners whom no longer worship ... influence them to stay loyal to the great Pompey. Even today, we use ridicule as a way of persuading of influencing people to do something. An example of this would be in the Think. Don t Smoke commercial. They are implying that when you smoke, you don t think. Another method of manipulation used in the play is when Portia is trying to uncover Brutus secret. She says to him, I should not need, if you were gentle Brutus, and, Giving myself ...
