days. Several physicians begin to ask her questions concerning her eating behaviors. All
she her behavior during the exam they noticed how depressed the girl seemed to be.
When the exam was over the girl was immediately admitted to the psychiatric unit of the
hospital, for treatment on Anorexia.
Depression is a psychiatric illness that can affect individuals in several different
ways. Eating disorders are commonly found in people that struggle with depression.
Most have to under go several years of extensive therapy to conquer the illness. And
unfortunately after all the therapy some times they never get cured. Depression is a
serious state of mind that can lead to multiple eating disorders.
Depression can lead to an eating disorder called Bulimia. Bulimia is an eating
condition where an individual eats what they want but then vomits it back out. This
disorder is usually done when an individual feels fat but cannot over become their bad
eating habits. Bulimia is commonly found in most young adults today. “ Most bulimics
are females in their teens or early twenty’s” (Tran 2). But, unfortunately most parents
don’t realize that their child has this disorder until it is out of control. “ Because bulimia
results from an excessive concern with weight control and self-image, and is often
accompanied by depression, it also considered a psychiatric illness” (1). Although, there
are a wide variety of psychological evaluations that can help detect and resolve the
situation. The young adult could still struggle with the return of the disease in
the future. And may need to seek psychological help off and on through their lifetime.
Another common eating disorder called Anorexia is unlike Bulimia. Depression
can also lead up to this disorder too. Anorexia is an eating condition where the individual
doesn’t eat at all. This is usually done when the individual is noticing their self as being
fat. Even though they starve their self, each time they look in the mirror they feel they
are still to heavy. There are a wide variety of ...

depression that is a characteristic feature of BED” (1). Medicines for depression are the
common prescriptions given to treat the condition of binge eating. Most binge eaters can
rehabilitate their disease after treatment. “ It appears that up to 50% of BED patients will
stop bingeing with cognitive behavioral therapy” (2). With the proper treatment to cure
the disorder, most individuals can take control of their eating habits. And most
individuals can also hold their weight at a normal level.
Eating disorders are a common illness that is an assistance of depression today.
Many individuals struggle with the psychological illness. Most individuals never get the
proper treatment to cure the disorder. And many will struggle with the disorder all
through their lives. There is a wide range of individuals that eating disorders will attack.
And there are several different cures to prevent the disorders from reoccurring.
The best cure an individual has is admitting the problem. Depression is a serious state of
mind that can lead to several eating disorders.
There is no greater critic than society. Society tells people how they should look, act, and live. Being a part of the right social class is also a very important thing because if you are not, you will be looked down upon and not treated as an equal. Marxism is a theory that explains these issues in society, mainly separated into two categories: class struggles, and materialism, stated in the article “Karl Mark and Marxism” written by Southern Utah University. Many people are under great stress and pressure as a result of society. Stated by Karl Marx in “German Ideology” “The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force” explaining that the people in higher classes seem to control everything. Marxism is a reflection of society because it explains the struggles of people in different social classes and the materialistic ways of life, two very important traits of society. In The Bluest Eye, an explicit novel written by Tony Morrison, the struggle of poverty and racial differences are reflected through a young black girl named Pecola, in a way that shows higher privileged individuals what a life with disadvantages can be like.
The Old Man and the Sea tells the story of Santiago, a very old fisherman, and his quest to catch a fish after eighty four days of failing to catch any fish at all. When his young apprentice, Manolin, is forced to abandon him by his parents, Santiago sets out farther than he has ever traveled at sea in hopes that larger fish will be available for catching. Not only does he spend several days fighting with a great marlin that he manages to hook before finally killing him, he also battles with hungry sharks, as well as his own body, which, at times, seems to be failing him.
Equiano begins his autobiography with his experiences of slavery at a young age in his village and on the middle passage. For example, in chapter 1 Equiano reveals that his village also had slaves, who became as such by being a prisoner of war, as a punishment for adultery, or being kidnapped. There was no systematic slavery and the slaves from this village were treated as human beings rather than as property. Equiano claims their treatment of slaves was not nearly as terrible compared to the slavery of the New World. Based on this insight, Africans were not new to the idea of slavery, but were shocked at how horribly different they were treated. Despite this insight, there is a limitation because Equiano wrote his autobiography as an older man, meaning that his childhood memories were not easily recollected. In addition, in chapter 2 Equiano was kidnapped and made his way to the coast and aboard a slave ship. Equiano felt astonished and scared in the new situation he was in with the strange men. Below the decks, he saw the dejection and sorrow on the faces of other slaves. However, the slaves tried their best ...

The purpose of this source is to show the reasons why the old man feels defeat with old age. This source relates to The Old Man and the Sea because many times throughout the novel when Santiago was in the sea, he wished Manolin was there to help him because he has a rough time doing some things nowadays, but his old age still does not stop him from catching that
In his autobiography, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Equiano describes his early life in Africa and the shattering effects of the slave trade. From growing up and learning to be a man under the watchful and loving eye of his mother, to being torn from his family and home and being forced to travel throughout Africa before ultimately finding himself aboard a slave ship headed for America, He gives readers a unique view of life as an African during the 1700s. Many themes are explored in Equiano’s tale, but one cannot ignore the most prominent theme of the evil of slavery and the destruction that ensues.
Each of the psychologists conducted an experiment where test subjects were examined to see how far they would go to stay within a group mind. Their individuality
Equiano described a number of customs and traditions that were shared between whites and Africans. One common tradition shared between the two races (commonly associated with individuals who practice Judaism) was circumcision. He found numerous similarities between the Africans and whites. However, he exclaimed that the only difference was the skin color and the causation of that was from the different geographic locations. Equiano was able to create logical and reasonable rebuttals against slavery using moral and religious grounds. Which brought attention to the societies who were major contenders in enslavement. However, societies were more worried about making a profit than the wellbeing of another individual. It reveals that the two societies played a major role in the continuance of slavery, even when multiple groups and people (the Quakers played a huge role, alongside the Africans, in bringing an end to slavery) were explaining the wrong occurring. Even after the death of Equiano, the battle against slavery continued until the 19th century. However, the ideologies and work of Olaudah Equiano continued to be used by other
Individuals may look deep within to summon courage that is necessary to move past triumphs and tragedies. In Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago struggles greatly to search for hope in seemingly hopeless situations. The idea that people look deep within to summon courage is portrayed through the actions of Santiago, Manolin, and Manolin’s parents.
Eating disorders can be altered by many things including bullying. One way that an eating disorder can come about into someone's life if is low self-esteem. Negative body images can make someone want to become skinnier. When someone has a low self-esteem it means a person who has a very low image of themselves. They think that they are nothing and aren’t worthy of life. When someone thinks this they could exercise excessively thinking that it will make them skinnier.
The Old Man and the Sea takes in place in Havana, Cuba and the fishing waters off the coast of Havana. The Spanish names, Santiago and Manolin, are typical in Cuba. Cuba is mostly Catholic so this accounted for Santiago's devotion to Jesus Christ. The year seems to be around the 1930's and 1940's because Santiago is a big fan of Joe DiMaggio who played during these years. In the 1930's and '40's, the city of Havana was booming with population and business. Seafood is one of the most popular foods in Havana so to meet the rising demand of fish, many young boys learned how to be fishermen as Manolin did.
The great stories behind The Old Man and the Sea are what make it so wonderful. Because of this novels success released in 1952, it helped Hemingway ring in the Nobel Prize for 1954 for Hemingway (Hurse). He had a way of writing a good hearted, high spirited hero, who seemed in many ways to be at one with nature and himself. It is believed that Hemingway conjured up the character Santiago from a 92 year old man who crossed to Florida with other Cuban refugees (Baker 910). This makes sense considering Santiago is the main character, who is of old age. His characters although having many great qualities, still had struggles. Santiago is the man of hour, when speaking of The Old Man and the Sea. H...
The Old Man and the Sea has been a time old classic by a both beloved and occasionally despised author Mr. Ernest Hemingway. In the Old Man and the Sea Symbolism and references that reflect Hemingway’s own life can be seen in many different lights, he had many ups and downs similar as Santiago’s struggles and as I have chosen to explore the suffering that can be seen in Santiago and in relation to Hemingway’s own life.

Looking into the present day and the future, bond enthalpies will play a big role in the scientific world. Breaking bonds between two atoms that have a strong attractive force requires a deal of energy. Which is also why it is an endothermic process, and is true for the opposite in that making a new bond between atoms is an exothermic process.6. Understanding the energy required to break each of these bonds may someday lead to much more conservative ways of going about
