Temple Grandin, an autism-prone woman, said that she was different from others but not less. People with autism were more accepted back in the 1950s than in the 1960s. Grandin’s feelings and thoughts were unheard of by most people. Grandin’s intelligence, determination, and support from a few people helped her reach her goals. These traits are critical for young people, but more so for those with autism. Temple Grandin demonstrated determination and hardwork during her struggle with autism. Despite being dismissed by others for her autism, Temple Grandin’s passion for animal rights is still evident in her inventions and the conversations she started about the discrimination that others faced. Grandin…

I am applying to NHS in order to be a healthcare assistant at Orchards Inpatient Unit. This dream has been a part of my whole life. I want to help others live better and more fulfilling lives.

As with many students from the UK, university can be very difficult to adjust. In my second-year, I was diagnosed by anxiety and depression. After seeing how many people, including my classmates, were helped by professionals, I was inspired to pursue a career as a healthcare professional. My final degree show was…

Table of Contents Winnie the Pooh is a beloved character in a children’s book. Piglet Eeyore Rabbit Bird of prey Christopher Robin Take a moment to go back in time, if necessary, to simpler thoughts and more understanding. This will lead to different experiences for each person. Now think back to when we only understood the surface of information. We didn’t see the hidden themes or adult jokes in the kid-friendly censored shows and books. Take a look at the stories with the eyes you currently have (assuming you have them, you don’t need to) and you’ll see the multitude of childhood entertainments and the tricks used by the creators…

Michael Pollan’s Escape from the Western Diet focuses on American dietary practices and America’s best-kept secret: Where our food comes from. The article starts by explaining different theories about why diseases occur in the western hemisphere and the United States. Pollan mentions the lipid and omega-3 hypotheses and the carbohydrate hypothesis. These hypotheses are promoted and supported by the medical profession and lead to Americans focusing only on one-nutrient deficiencies. When he declares that people who consume a western diet are more susceptible to chronic diseases than those who eat more traditional food, he clearly states his position. His stance on the subject is clear. He believes Americans should stop…

Many cultures believe drinking and partying is socially acceptable. Alcohol can cause a loss of judgment and alter your personality and character. This argumentative essay will explain why alcohol shouldn’t be allowed in countries. It can be argued that alcohol consumption dates back to Biblical times. But the most iconic moment of all is the last supper. Jesus shared communion with his disciples just before he was killed. They ate bread and drunk wine, but it didn’t have as many effects as today. It was more like grape juice, and not fermented. As the world has developed, we have found new ways to make alcohol. The ABV, which is the…

It’s well-known that sleeping well is good for our health. It is not only important that our body gets enough sleep to recover and rest, but it can also play a crucial role in our brain’s ability and memory to learn. This is not a new concept to anyone who has slept in to study for an exam and then discovered that they would no longer be able recall what they learned at 3 AM. The brain creates new memories when it encounters something to remember, such as learning words or playing a concerto on the piano. These memories are very vulnerable at first, so they need to be strengthened…

You might say the heart or the lung, but the majority would likely answer the brain. Everything you do is controlled by the brain. The brain transmits information through what is called neurons. The neurons then transmit the signals through what are called anxons. Myelin is then covered to make the signals go faster. It may be surprising to learn that most of the brain’s fat is fat. The brain is actually the largest organ with fat content. The brain works like a well-oiled machine. When neurons get clumped together, they create grey matter and then white matter. They then form the brain’s entire structure. The main nerve that connects…

Otis Brawley shows in How We Do Harm: The Story of a Doctor Who Breaks All Rules About America’s Sickness. He demonstrates the conflict between ethical medical practice and science-based medicine. Brawley also illustrates how corrupt medical practice seeks to exploit patients and create harm through clinical experiments. Ethical importance means to do everything possible to prevent injury to patients, avoid medication errors, provide individuality in care to all patients, communicate honestly with patients and their contemporaries, and to take responsibility for nursing/provider decisions and actions. The book’s honesty and openness about providers’ practices is what I found most important. Before I was an nurse, my experience as a patient…
