“Stop Setting Alarms on My Biological Clock” written by Carrie Friedman is about her experience about other mothers asking Friedman why doesn’t she have any children. Friedman wants mothers to stay out of her business since the decision of having children doesn’t concern them. Friedman isn’t sure if she is even able to produce offspring since she haven’t tried starting a family. Mothers should keep in mind that many women don’t have ability to have children. Friedman then points out that mothers that abandon their own life passions are setting a bad example to other women into not wanting them to become mothers.

The other guiding principles—beliefs, philosophy, opinions—which form the framework of this book include: We are all in this together. First and foremost, this book rejects the misguided notion that preventing a Knocked Up pregnancy is a “woman’s issue.” My belief is that both women and men gamble against the odds of a pregnancy or experience contraceptive failures that can result in an unintended pregnancy. With rare exception (the most
5Realizing on how psychology is all around helps us understand how people around us function and think. The psychological research “Access to a Loaded Gun Without Adult Permission and School-Based Bullying” and current events show that the real-world issues particularly in our country, of mental health, students, and guns are problematic. 5The news article “How We Talk About Bullying After School Shootings can be Dangerous: Experts” is written by Taylor Swaak. The news article talks about how bullying other students in school usually leads to lasting ramifications, such as depression and anxiety for those victims. In some cases, those are driving forces for students to become angry and aggressive, which in some cases leads students to take lethal repercussions towards their peers and others.
Goal 1: Justice will improve his interpersonal functioning and work toward abstinence. • Justice was observed playing the video game when the QP arrived for the session. • Justice reported he smokes “6 or 7 cigarettes per day.” • Justice listened as the QP shared research indicates the ages between 12–25 is a critical time of brain development; therefore, it is essential to protect it from alcohol and drugs during his crucial writing period because important connections are being made that link brain areas together, helping us become smarter and make better decisions. • Justice viewed his drug screening results since he has started treatment and observed where he has been decreasing his marijuana use each week.
When a woman chooses to keep her baby, it may not be her decision; it may be her moral duty to the society influenced by her family’s pressure and religious belief. However, if she considers the broad social factors that will shape and influence her views, and that will allow her to make individual choices such as whether to keep her baby or not, she is applying what C. Wright Mills’ called the Social Imagination. James Henslin (2013) stated that C. Wright Mills’s sociological imagination gives us the ability “to understand how our personal troubles (the problems we experience) are connected to the broader conditions of our society” (p. 2). It allows us to question the “norms” and gives us the ability to see things from different perspectives
“Love you, mama, Miss you”(Aviv, 2), the words of three year old Adam to his mother who was placed with the Orange County Social Services. In Rachel Aviv’s article “ Where is your mother” thirty-nine year old, single working parent Niveen Ismail, “begged” them to return her son after she left Adam unsupervised at home whilst she was out. Niveen mentions that on this tragic day that, “It was mechanical- I wasn’t thinking anymore... I was just trying to survive” (Aviv, 6) she was overworked, undernourished and had just reached a “breaking point”.
Dr. Ogden’s Unit 3 “Behavior Change,” (2017) discussed some of the ways in which behavior can be changed using the four main theoretical perspectives. The four main theoretical perspectives are: learning theory (with added cognitions), social cognition theory and use of planning, using motivational interviewing to move people through the stages of change and using emotion in a positive way by using visual images. In this week’s readings, I learned about models of influencing behavior change, which include financial incentives and the use of mass media. The learning theory (with added cognition) which is one of the four main theories informing behavior change implies that any behavior is learned through three main mechanisms which are; modeling
Smoke Gun Advertisement Ever since the first cigarette was made, smoking has become a problem for our country, and it continues to negatively affect the people who smoke and even those who do not. People who smoke are damaging their health and making themselves susceptible to diseases like lung cancer and emphysema. People who do not smoke can be exposed to second-hand smoking, which can lead to serious health risks as well. The government has taken action to help the health of the country by paying for and creating anti-smoking advertisements to persuade smokers to quit or to prevent others from smoking in the future.
I witnessed a paradigm shift within a large portion of the University of Oregon’s student body, the day after the presidential election of Donald Trump. Glum faces covered in tears filled campus, as people acted as if their lives would be changed forever. An omnipresence of negative emotions enveloped campus and gave my fellow classmates a reason to protest and be immobilized from being productive. As I went about my daily routine the day after the election, the words of my childhood hero Lance Armstrong rang through my ears, “Momma didn’t raise a quitter.” Regardless of who won the election, I knew that I would continue to work as hard as I can every single day, because I believe that slowing down and accepting failure are not viable options.
Smoking While Pregnant Parents always want what is best for their children and it starts even before the child is born. To ensure your child’s safety it begins when a woman becomes pregnant. To enable this protection and ensure a healthy pregnancy, smoking cigarettes are very dangerous for both the pregnant mother and the unborn child. According to the Surgeon General’s Warnings printed on cigarette packaging it states: “Smoking by pregnant women may result in fetal injury, premature birth, and low birth weight” these statements are only a beginning to all the dangers of smoking while pregnant.
Exploring Psychology by David G Myers (2014) says that a psychological disorder is a syndrome marked by a “clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior” (American Psychiatric Association 2013)(p. 506). In the movie Mommie Dearest directed by Frank Perry we see Joan Crawford played by Faye Dunaway. The character Joan portrays many different psychological disorders, which affects how we see her role in the movie. Multiple disorders were evident throughout the film, but three major disorders that were noticeable were obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar, and borderline. Mommie Dearest is a story about Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) who is a great Hollywood actress.
But most importantly if a smoker really wants to quit they have to keep an open mind that even though smoking is very hard to quit, it is not
Wispy, white tails of smoke drift around the front seat of the car towards the children sitting in the back. The smoke does not amuse the third grader; he smells, sees, and breathes in the smoke every day from his mother’s cigarette. The smoke reaches the newborn infant strapped in her car seat, unable to escape the killer substance hanging in the air. Her lungs slowly adjust to her mother’s killer habits, which then becomes the baby’s killer habit without even lifting the cigarette to her delicate mouth. This scenario occurs in many families and cars around the country, and while many smokers realize the potential, deadly effects on their own bodies, they do not realize the deadly effects on their passengers.
