Abstract
This paper relates that increasing complexity means that nutrition researchers today advocate a holistic approach; therefore, its is best to eat a wide variety of fresh, unprocessed and un-manufactured food. The author points out that people who are exposed to second-hand or side-stream smoke also are at risk for health issues because this smoke not only contains the same dangerous contaminants as the inhaled smoke but also the exhaled smoke particles are smaller and can reach distant sites in the lungs of involuntary or passive smoker, doing great harm. The paper stresses that alcohol abuse can affect nearly every organ system in the body, such as cirrhosis of the liver, aggravate existing condition, such as diabetes and harm every aspect of the person's life, including family conflict, arrests, job instability and psychological symptoms related to depression and anxiety.

From the Paper
"There are many common myths surrounding exercise, some of which have a basis in reality, while others are simply false. For example some believe that doing sit-ups is the best way to reduce belly fat, however, this is not true, sit-ups may improve the size and shape of core muscles and reduce the appearance of belly fat, however, the belly fat will often be the last fat removed from the body, because most of the energy derived from fat gets to the muscle through the bloodstream and reduces stored fat in the entire body. Another myth is that only overweight people or people in ill health need to consult a physician before beginning an exercise program. Even apparently healthy people may have unknown medical conditions, such as a heart murmur, that can cause severe injury or death."

Abstract
This paper describes how dreaming is a means of ensuring good health. The author explains though all human beings dream when they sleep (barring some manger of brain injury), it has been largely unclear why this is so. The purpose of this study will be to illustrate what is known about dreaming and its relationship to human health through an examination of the critical theories that have been developed over the years to account for the human dream state.
From the Paper
"For thousands of years, scholars have debated the meaning and significance of dreaming. The importance of sleep is obvious. Without sleep, mental and physical health quickly deteriorates because the body does not have a chance to revitalize itself. Sleep itself is known to boost brainpower and also keep the body healthy (The night shift, 2005). However, though all human beings dream when they sleep (barring some manger of brain injury), it has been largely unclear why this is so. The purpose of this study will be to illustrate what is known about dreaming and its relationship to human health through an examination of the critical theories that have been developed over the years to account for the human dream state. What is known for certain about dreaming is that it is an ubiquitous state of cognition during sleep for all mammals and all birds"

Abstract
This paper explains that getting Americans to exercise may be difficult, but the benefits of exercise are clear: People who exercise tend to live longer, have better overall health, and feel better about themselves. The author points out that, in California, many programs are available that help people develop and maintain healthy lifestyles including exercise. The paper relates that education is the key to helping people understand the benefits of exercise and that education must begin early in life for exercise to become a daily habit.
From the Paper
"There are also many things individuals can do that add up to better health through exercise. Even small steps can lead to better health. Some people believe exercise must be difficult to work, and it cannot be enjoyable, but adding exercise to a daily routine can begin with small things, like walking a dog for fifteen minutes every evening, walking to the local restaurant or mall instead of driving, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. These small steps often lead to an increased enjoyment of activity, and more activity as the fitness level begins to increase."

Abstract
This paper explains that the film "Good Night and Good Luck" is a social commentary and biography of 1950s era CBS television newsman Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965), and the period of the "McCarthy Years". The author points out that the transitions between film shots and real footage was made excellent because both the entire film and the real footage are in black and white and almost always the people inside the CBS studio itself are seen looking at television monitors where this footage is playing. The paper relates that the film was effective visually as a depiction of the 1950s because it was shot it entirely in black and white (as there was no color television in the 1950s), the 1950s-era costumes, the prevalence of cigarette smoke inside the workplace, the 1950s jazz instrumental and vocal music and the overall stark, "no frills" atmosphere of this era and setting.

Murrow. The credits are not given all at once, but rather, mixed in, at evenly-timed short intervals, among the opening shots. The opening credits are not extensive, but mention only the director, producer, and a few others. When these few credits are over, then, wed are already involved in the lead in action of the movie, ..."

Mental Health and Physical Health, 2005.
Discusses the reasoning behind two beliefs - whether or not mental health should be treated on par with physical health.
930 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 33.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
There are two arguments regarding the treatment of mental health. Some believe that it should receive the same amount of health care coverage as physical illness, while others argue that the costs of treating mental illness could lead to severe problems. To better understand these arguments, this paper examines two articles, "Mental Health Should be Treated on Par with Physical Health," by Lewis L. Judd, and "Mental Health Should Not be treated on Par with Physical Health," by Richard E. Vatz, as well as two of their reference sources.
From the Paper
"Martin Bobgan and Deidre Bobgan, the writers of an article titled, "Mental Illness is not a Disease" would probably agree that spending money on mental illness, and treating it equally to physical illness would be a lost cause. Although their opinion is much more drastic than that of Richard Vatz, all three writers would probably seem to agree that covering mental illness in insurance coverage would not be helpful to society. In the article, Mental Illness is not a Disease," Martin and Deidre Bobgan profess that people "continue to promote the false concept of mental illness, to align it with medicine, and consign it to science." It is apparent that these writers believe that the mental state and one's physical well-being fall into completely different categories."

Abstract
The writer discusses the duties and involvement that women had in the way as well as examples of patriotism shown by women. We are also given some examples of female heroines from the war.
From the paper:
?When we think about a Southern Belle, we envision a pale, fragile wisp of a woman who swoons if it gets to hot. She is delicate and beautiful and must be taken care of by a man. Over the last centuries this is the image that we have adopted when it comes to the way we perceive Southern women. The reality however is much different. Even during the Civil War women of the Confederate side were tough, capable and willing to do what ever it took to win the war effort against the North.?

Abstract
This paper discusses Medicare and the problems that it has faced recently. It deals with why this has become such a problem and whether there is anything that can be done to fix the failing Medicare system. Beginning with the statement of the problem and the rationale for studying it, the paper then moves on to discuss a review of the literature on Medicare and what kind of reform is occurring now, as well as what kind of reform has been suggested as being needed if Medicare is going to continue to help individuals. Right now, Medicare is experiencing some changes, but many do not feel that enough changes are being made. There are many seniors that are still struggling, and these people need help now. This is one of the chief problems of Medicare, as there are no easy solutions, and it is assumed that it will be some time before answers to its difficulties are found. Nevertheless, this paper is also concerned with the information collected in regards to the problems that Medicare faces, and it moves on to an analysis of the data that has been collected. This is followed up by the recommendations and conclusions that can safely be made and drawn about Medicare and where it is going from here.

From the Paper
"Studies are important for many reasons, and one of the main reasons for any study is to look at something that desperately needs attention and determine what should be done with it. The Medicare system is such an issue. Attention is needed, because the system that people have relied on for years will soon begin to fail them. There is really no money left for Medicare to do anything more than what it is doing now, which is not enough. Until it finds a way to reform itself, many elderly people will go without adequate medical care, and these people were used to getting the care that they needed.
Now that Medicare has joined forces with managed care, it would seem that things would be improved, but the opposite has occurred and most people are not sure what they can do to correct this problem before it gets worse. There are those that said that managed care should never have a place in Medicare, and that would be one of the wrong ways to reform the system. That may be, but the managed care system and Medicare are together now, and that must be dealt with. There are clearly issues that must be addressed if Medicare is to be corrected, and the hope is that it can be accomplished before the system collapses entirely and causes more damage than has already been done."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Queensland government builds the health care organization around four core values of professionalism, teamwork, performance accountability and quality, and recognition. The author points out that the group managing health care is a partnership with all federal, state and local governments and other non-government organizations with a common goal to ensure policies, programs and activities actively supporting good health. The paper relates the post-graduate education support, the management of redundant employees, and retrenchment.
From the Paper
"They are continuously in the process of developing strategies for the prevention of illness and injury and that is the area where they believe that there can be a great improvement. They are in the process of regularly identifying people who are at the risk of injury, illness or complications from their existing conditions of health and are in the process of taking steps to reduce the risk they are involved in and thus improve the quality of life for the people. There is a common strategy of all health care providers, both within and outside the government sector so that a stronger and more responsive primary health care sector can be built. At the level of the hospitals, the aim is to provide them with high quality, equitable acute and emergency care along with improved community based services."

Abstract
This paper reviews the work by Alison Alexander and Jarice Hanson entitled "Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Mass Media and Society." The review states that the book does show a good balance between politically divisive and philosophical issues, while looking at some of the more divisive issues, such as race, television violence and liberal bias in the media.
From the Paper
"Television. Racism. Body Image. Partisan bias in the news media. The tobacco industry. Victims of sexual assault. This reads like a laundry list of problems with which our society not only deals on a daily basis, but even seems to enjoy dealing with, mulling over, flaunting and sensationalizing. Alison Alexander and Jarice Hanson's casebook, "Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Mass Media and Society" is a collection of articles, editorials and case studies on these and other hot button issues regarding the omnipresent and ever-powerful hold that the media has on society. This essay will review Alexander and Hanson's work, pointing out some of the stronger cases made and some of the more interesting issues that are presented."

Controversial Biological Issues.
This paper discusses four bio-ethical issues that have gripped the nation's headlines over the past ten years: stem cell research, cloning human embryos, surrogate motherhood, and animal experimentation.

Abstract
This paper explains that the pace of human scientific progress proceeds faster than the ability of medical ethicists to cope rationally with scientific developments. The author points out that, while issues of controversy are often framed in 'rights based' or legal terms, medical science must provide some answers as to how to cope ethically with these issues, just as lawyers wrestle with issues of civil rights. The paper states that, even though there is not an issue of genetic connection between the carrying surrogate mother and child, the author believes the problems of the mother's feelings seem to promote more social harm than good and potentially put the child produced from the union at psychological risk.
From the Paper
"However, of all of these bioethical controversies, none of them is as old nor strikes as vitally at the question of what has the right to live and die, as the controversy of using animal life to prolong the life of humans. People have experimented with animals for hundreds of years, but the practice did not become widespread until the late 1800's. While animal experimentation has produced considerable benefits to people, it often results in the suffering and death of animals. Often, scientists justify experimentation because animals lack certain attributes compared to humans, such as intelligence, family structure, social bonding, communication skills, and altruism. However, numerous nonhuman animals-among them rats, pigs, dogs, monkeys, and great apes-reason and/or display altruism. There is accumulating evidence that many animals experience the same range of emotions as humans."

Abstract
This paper examines and provides information on the roles and responsibilities that health care managers are tasked to accomplish in today?s health care systems. Moreover, this paper examines how a health care manager's job as a leader who ensures a smooth and organized management and operation of health organizations, influences his/her perspective on health care professions. The paper emphasizes the importance of understanding how health care managers perceive their duties in health care service.
From the Paper
"The basic role every manager must be able to render is the task of providing good human relations to everyone at work. Through this role, the objective of accomplishing jobs in an environment where good work relationship is maintained can be made possible. In the field of health care, healthcare managers must have the ability to perform this basic responsibility. A healthcare manager should be a specialist in managing the condition of the healthcare staffs. Though this duty may be perceived as a simple task, it is critical that a good human resource management be delivered to a health organization to ease the stress and pressure that health care providers, such as the doctors and nurses, experience from their duties."

The paper discusses the high expenditure on health care in the United States. It explains that even though the expenditure by the health care industry has been very high, it has been unable to sufficiently meet the requirements of the young deprived, the jobless or the amateur worker. The paper reviews literature related to these issues. In conclusion, the writer states that medical health care has become a drama in which political actors manipulate it for their own good and that it will take a long time before the situation is able to be rectified.

From the Paper
"Moreover, the situation appears to be declining every day in the health care sector. Medical misconduct suits have arrived at an unsurpassed high. Every novel report of some possible health benison sets off a tedious and frequently haphazard charge to take on and execute that novel health breakthrough. Autoimmune, tense, as well as, ecological illnesses have attained to the magnitude of plague. Cancer is widespread. Americans have turned out to be obsessive for their health. Americans fervently fret on the subject of their healthcare reimbursements and whether the health-care structure will maintain them in time of problem. Those lucky enough to preserve health benefits fear that freedom to prefer their medical doctor is soon going to be taken away from them. Fear of becoming extinct has substituted the delight of living as Americans more and more anguish on the subject of their health."

Health and Safety for Nurses in Home Health Care, 2008.
A discussion of health and safety issues for nurses who work with home health care agencies.
1,710 words (approx. 6.8 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at the situation of nurses in home health care, who regularly work in isolation without the benefit of peers or essential supports, unlike nurses in hospitals, which have the benefit of safety and security measures provided by the institution. The paper points out that home health care nurses are predominately female and are subject to high physical and psychosocial demands. Furthermore, many of these nurses work in isolated rural settings, making them more prone to physical assault, sexual assault and various forms of workplace violence, as well as personal injury related to heavy lifting. The paper argues that the most important point about health and safety issues is that they impact of the care the client receives. To conclude, the paper maintains that the goal for all home health care agencies must be to ensure the safety of both staff and patients, and this may be achieved through employee awareness and in agency commitment to the staff.
From the Paper
"Home health care is a rapidly expanding industry because of such factors as an aging population and decreased hospital stays. With that expansion have come increasing incidents of violence in the workplace. Surveys of nurse reveal that problems related to safety in the home care field have escalated. These problems range form verbal and physical abuse, along with threatening animals to visible weapons and illegal drugs (Sylvester & Reisener, 2002). In addition, nurses in home care very often work in areas where the crime rate is above the national average. All of these issues and concerns create a potential impact on patient care and patient outcomes (Fazzone & Barloon, 2000). When nurses are in continual fear over their safety, this situation is certain to affect the quality of care."
