A video footage recorded by Keith Lamont Scott 's wife moments before he was killed by police in Charlotte was made public on Friday. The video has Scott 's wife pleading the police officers not to kill him. She tells them he has no gun and had just had a medicine for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from an accident days ago. "Don 't shoot him, don 't shoot him.
Concussions despite being mild or severe need to be correctly attended to, as there will always be some form of effect. Concussions need to be handled correctly to minimize the risk of dangerous and life-altering outcomes. A concussion is a disturbance of brain function that involves a complex pathophysiological process and is referred to as a brain injury (Harmon et al., 2013; Echemendia, 2012). Consequently, being unconscious is a pathological state.
Brian Pickens Dr.Willams English 12 1 May 2016 Problem Statement The Research shows that concussions has required numerous players to retire early. The investigation indicates that countless NFL players that have died have had concussions or brain disease contribute to their death. “A total of 87 out of 91 former NFL players have tested positive for the brain disease at the center of the debate over concussions in football, according to new figures from the nation’s largest brain bank focused on the study of traumatic head injury.
This article is very fascinating and talks about the effect that concussions have on people in today’s society. For year concussions flew under the radar, and almost was never noticed. Only recently did major organizations such as the NFL began to realize the long term effect that concussions were having on their players. Recently the idea of blood tests to indicate the concentration of proteins in the brain have been proposed. This idea is a way more efficient and effective way of determining a patient’s condition.
“Long-term effects of concussions are very rare. Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause symptoms similar to a concussion, but individuals with TBIs often experience more severe problems with attention and short-term memory, have difficulty performing daily tasks, and report feeling ‘slower’ overall” (Long-term Effects of Brain Injuries). Brain injuries can always improve, but may never completely go away. “Difficulty making decisions or processing a lot of information, or trouble resolving problems, can have a significant impact on one 's life” (Long-term Effects of Brain Injuries). The matter is very serious and impacting the lives of many athletes around the world.
When your child begins to play a sport there is always a risk for injury especially if they fall in love with football their chances of getting a head related injury are very high. From the years 2001 to 2009 there has been an incredible amount of head related sport injuries that go through the emergency room and most are diagnosed with a concussion. The majority of these concussions are caused from football, it does not matter what level of it bein played it happens all the way from the NFL level all the way down to pop warner. Concussions are not only from football they are from all contact sports. Concussions are becoming more and more common in today 's world, they are very dangerous and may cause serious damage, we need better equipment,
The two potentional congitive impacts of concussions are chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and paranoid disorder. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is found in people who have suffered
Since a person’s brain is so fragile, considering how important it is becomes even more daunting. After all, the brain, is the body’s ultimate controller, taking charge of even a person’s own desires and actions once it is compromised by injury, illness, or other ailment (Cahalan, 2012, pg.87). As much as the human race wants to believe they are in control, the truth is one event could drastically change
In the 2007 video Living With a Traumatic Brain Injury, four people that suffer from traumatic brain injuries (abbreviated TBI) are filmed and talk about their lives. The video overviewed what had happened with their brains and showed different levels of functionalization in each participant. Not only did the video teach about the lives of people with TBI, how the brain works, and how the information presented can be used in one’s own life but most importantly it taught how remarkably strong and optimistic people suffering from significant life alterations can be. It showed how a positive outlook on a bad situation can not only make life better but also provide motivation to work hard to regain lost abilities. Introduction
Traumatic brain injuries sustained in the National Football League has risen steadily since the first game was played. The public, as well as players, have been inadequately informed of the severity of concussions resulting from severe head trauma. Players have been sent back into play with life threatening injuries that may be invisible immediately but detrimental when observed long term. The National Football League has covered the concussion issue due to the lack of publicly the sport receives when role players are out with a concussion or another injury. Concussions and traumatic brain related injuries have become a costly problem in the National Football League (NFL), and most instances are mistreated and covered up.
Head injuries and concussions are what scientist believe have caused these brain diseases in young athletes. These injuries are sustained by serious blows to the head to the point when the brain slams back and forth against the inner head. Traumatic brain injuries are long term effects that are sustained through various blows to the head which scar the brain itself. Unlike TBIs, concussions can be healed in due time as long as the person who has experienced the concussions has followed the necessary procedures and has received enough rest to further help the brain heal. Some head injuries although can lead to these brain diseases.
The brain is the most complex and magnificent organ of the human body. It controls the muscle movements, the secretions of glands,breathing and internal temperature. Every creative thought, feeling, and plan is developed by the brain. The brain acts as the body’s control center. The human brain can be divided into the forebrain, mid-brain and hind-brain.
The important ideas about Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury are the effects the TBI has on a child throughout their lifespan and how it can hinder their performance in different environments. I learned that when a child receives a Traumatic Brain Injury there is a greater effect of long-term developmental, social, and cognitive challenges. Challenges that arise could be maintaining social relationships and problems with memory. The TBI effected is an organ that is still developing, and new challenges are faced after that child becomes an adult. Different areas that a child may be struggling with are often just overlooked in all environments.
More now than ever athletes are being watched out for when there is trauma to the brain. After multiple cases of poor treatment to concussions parents and doctors are cracking down on letting concussions not be a big deal. As more studies advance, it is discovered that every case is different. The range is created by severity, past experience with trauma, and how the patient heals. Concussions in sports can range in severity, and how they affect each individual over time depending on times of impact.
Both Aristotle and Kant argue that an act is moral if it began with an initial intent of morality. Regardless of how the choice to action turned out, the act would always be moral, if it began as a moral action. This is also true for Aristotle, to a certain extent. In certain situations, the morality of an individual is judged by their action, not by the outcome of that action. They both also argued that logic was essential to understand the moral world as emotion is too subjective.
