Abstract
This case study explores the life history and current circumstances of a 72-year-old female client who has been brought to the clinic for evaluation with regard to a recent history of memory problems. The writer notes that according to family members, the client has had lapses of memory that have become increasingly significant over the past 36 months. The writer maintains that the family is interested in knowing if this is simply a function of normal aging or if it is an indicator of a medical or mental health issue that should be addressed. The writer explores the female's life history and current living circumstance to determine the next steps in planning her life course, medically and socially.

From the Paper
"Client reports as a child she was treated well by her parents. There is no report of alcohol or drug abuse in her childhood experiences by herself or by her family members. In addition she reports that she had a close relationship with both of her parents and all of her siblings. Client does have problems remembering certain periods of her childhood but reports that it is a recent occurrence that she has attributed to the aging process not a desire to repress any memories."
"Client is a white college educated female. She reports when she went to college she was not a rarity by being female but her course of study set her apart as she obtained a degree in mathematics which at that time was a highly unusual major for a female student to pursue."

Abstract
This paper argues that military registration needs to be a choice open to all young men, starting at age 18. It discusses the attitudes prevalent in American society today, which call for the raising of the age to 21. The paper argues, however, that if, at 18, they are legally recognized as adults, then they should be allowed to make the decision regarding conscription themselves.
From the Paper
"The system of Selective Service strives to balance the country?s need for an active pool of reserves and the rights of individual citizens who oppose military conscription. An 18-year old is legally recognized as an adult who could make decisions regarding his vote, career decisions, his ability to consent to marriage and sexual activity and his culpability in the commission of crime. It therefore stands to reason that an 18-year old could make an informed decision regarding serving the country in the military as well."

" THE TEN YEAR OLD'S CONSTRUCTION OF SELF-IMAGE
" Introduction
According to Markus and Nuris (1984), one's sense of self develops continuously from infancy onward. However, by around age ten years, the self-concept, often termed the self-image is said to become particularly important in terms of having strong associations with personality and social development. Thus, developmental theories discussing how children construct their notions of self in and around the age of ten years can be said to have an especially important significance.
The purpose of this paper is to examine several developmental models of the construction of the self image during this developmental stage. This examination is followed by a discussion of the validity of each model in terms of its ability.."

"Education in Public Schools for Three and Four-Year-Olds
The domains of early childhood education and the public schools have been intertwined in several important ways. One of the purposes of many early childhood programs has been to help the children learn skills that enable them to succeed in school. This same expectation has been shared by policy makers determining the best expenditure for education dollars. At both the state level and federal level, determinations are being made about the best "earmarking" of funds for the public schools (Stegelin, 1992, p. 137). It is the purpose of this paper to provide a philosophical and practical overview of education in the public schools for three and four-year-old children.
Leaders in the field of early childhood education often find themselves in complex and contradictory roles as they work out a.."

Abstract
This paper discusses Harry Krashinsky's essay "How Would One Extra Year of High School Impact Academic Performance in University's Evidence from a Unique Policy Change in Ontario, Canada", in which Krashinksky was able to exploite a unique historical event - a double cohort of high school graduates in Ontario in 2003, some with four years of high school and others with five years of high school - to test whether the quantity of education courses enhanced the human capital of graduates or whether it was simply a signal of higher ability.

Cognitive Developmental Theory, 1994.
This paper analyzes the cognitive developmental theory in relationship to the significance of questions asked by and information-processing of
3-year-olds and 5-year-olds, focusing on aging, the moon and where babies come from.

From the Paper
"The fields of developmental and cognitive psychology have provided us with valuable insights into the combined effects of age and cognitive ability on a child's learning readiness. The questions a child may ask, and his or her corresponding ability to understand, will be relative to a particular developmental level. For example, a three-year-old might ask a "why" question, such as "why do people get old?" From time to time, children who have first started asking questions about babies when they were three years of age, will repeat them a little later on if a particular stimulus prompts them. Thus, the five-year-old may very well ask, "How does a newborn baby get out of the mommy?" The five-year-old's seemingly insatiable curiosity may lead to other questions about the mechanisms of natural phenomena, such as "Where does the moon go during the daytime?" "

From the Paper
"Keeping one's mind active is important at Corabeth's age, and as a bridge player, she obviously does so. However, that important source of cognitive stimulation may end because members of her bridge club keep dying off with increasing frequency. Corabeth also seems to use her considerable advanced-level cognitive understandings about early childhood development, of which Katie has none, to select music and toys for Drake, and to spend time with him in ways that will stimulate his intelligence, desire for more physical activity, and overall curiosity about and interest in his surroundings, all of which are in currently very short supply as a result of Drake's extremely inadequate parenting up-to-now, about which Erikson and Piaget, with their distinctive theories of childhood development, including their various respective observations on cognitive development in early childhood in particular, would likely generally concur (see for example Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 1999).

Abstract
This paper attempts to assess why Rachel, a fifteen year-old Jewish girl, attempted suicide, and what can be done to improve her quality of life. The paper prevents the fictional character of Rachel as a teenager who was admitted to a psychiatric ward after taking 10 Panadol tablets. Rachel's sister brought her in, disclosing that Rachel had had a fight with her father for dating the 18 year-old son of a Kosovan asylum seeker. The paper attempts to explicate the three primary issues impeding Rachel from gaining full confidence in her life: (1) infatuation, (2) inter-religion dating and (3) depression. The paper concludes by extrapolating lessons from Rachel's life to the experience of adolescence in general.
From the Paper
"Human love and close relationships which involve social behaviors include issues at several levels and which are spread across through the subjective and the objective cultures. The processes involved in the development, maintenance, and/or dismissal of love are greatly influenced by several internal and external factors. (Tzeng, 1993, p. 83) It now needs to be understood as to whether romantic love is eternal, or would it fade as time passes? If love is to fade off, we need to understand as what are the consequences? For most people, these would look to be strange questions. Definitely, the songs, poems, novels, and films being witnessed by our society have shown love as the ultimate value in life and they can be energetic, overwhelming and perfectly blissful. Love is being believed by our younger generation as which makes the world progress; there is absolutely nothing which is not possible for lovers, love has no limitations and a life without having love is not a life at all and that exists forever. (De Munck, 1998, p. 17) But this is not the true face of love. Love is sometimes sad, and it can be as sad as death which is a supreme and mortal pain. It would lead to endless miseries for those involved and also for the near ones of the lovers. As time passes love tends to show its negative side and it leads our younger generation to depression and to commit suicide when they are unable to face its consequences. (Toner, 2003, p.39)"

J. Joseph's "When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple", 2005.
This paper explores the concept of 'preminiscence' in aging women's poetry by examining a famous poem about the coming of old age, J. Joseph's "When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple" (aka "Warning").

Abstract
This paper explains that 'preminiscence', the process of projecting the future, is important to the process of aging, which implies that, on the basis of past experience, women shape their futures. The author points out that, in "When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple" (AKA "Warning"), the reader learns that aging women, no longer needing to succumb to the temptations of diet aids, beauty products and cosmetic surgery, are released from the tyranny of physical beauty and are free to tap into themselves and rediscover the old feistiness, lying dormant since they were 10 years old. The paper concludes that this poem offers a positive approach to aging and a vista of freedom and possibilities by making the revolutionary statement that aging isn't so bad, after all. Poem included.

"The collection of women's life histories shows that during her 70s, widowhood is a likely possibility for most women. According to Coyle (1997), "Women on the average live longer than men. Women experience a greater life expectancy than men, and as a result, they comprise the majority of older adults." Widowhood is so common, in fact, that women regard it as something like a rite of passage, and although it is initially a shock and extremely painful for many of them, they do recover and reach a point where they see it as a whole new stage of life."

Don't Let Them Drink!, 2007.
An argument for the legal drinking age to be raised to 30 years old.

Abstract
The paper discusses the shocking number of drinking-related accidents and deaths among college students, the interference that drinking can cause when it comes to education and the health benefits of not drinking at a young age. The paper explains that college provides many students with their first taste of freedom, away from parental eyes. The paper contends, therefore, that the legal age for drinking should be moved to 30-years-old to provide a safe transition from the teenage years to the adult world. The paper concludes that such an age minimum will save lives, promote good health habits and make life much easier for millions of people across the nation.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"College is a time when students expand their horizons. They explore the philosophical side of life, learn that professors love verbal discourse within the classroom, and begin to form their political views. It is also a time in which many students have their first taste of freedom from parental eyes and this can often lead to experimentation with relationships, drinking and other elements of life that were not encouraged or allowed before the student left for the dormitory. Unfortunately the desire to experiment with drinking just as a student is completing a higher education can potentially lead to disaster. The incidence of accidents, poor choices, and flunking out of school all become real possibilities when students start drinking."

From the Paper
"One type of intellectual disability is related in the work entitled: "The Too-Hard Basket: Education for People who are Deafblind". The authors, Bidenko and James states that there are more than 70 known causes of deaf-blindness, with each cause brining a unique set of needs for the individual. Unfortunately, it is also related that the provision of education of children who are congenitally deaf-blind in Australia, can over the past 2 or 3 decades, be compared with that prior to 1750, of people who were deaf. Another problem that is noted in the country of Australia is the fact that approximately one in four parents was informed of their child's diagnosis by the time their child was three years old. Half the parents had been informed by the time their child was four and a half."

Abstract
This paper is a case study of a 37-year old African-American male with a diagnosed case of sickle-cell anemia who presents himself to the emergency department with changes in sensorium of two days duration. It examines his symptoms, follows his admission procedure and discusses the virulence factors of sickle-cell anemia.
From the Paper
"Upon admission, he was stretcher-borne and noted to be unconscious and unresponsive to verbal commands but localized painful stimuli. Vital signs were: HR 104, RR 25, BP 126/78, T 102oF. Physical examination was significant for nuchal rigidity, Brudzinski's and Kernig's sign. A limited neurological examination revealed no papilledema, bilateral hyperreflexia and dorsifexion of the big toe; no localizing signs were noted. A peripheral line was immediately established and a ceftriaxone loading dose was given followed by vancomycin. A non-contrast cranial CT scan revealed a resolving paranasal sinusitis; no mass lesions or midline shifts were noted. "

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to provide viable research techniques in order to help a child and her family. This report represents a summary of Alicia Thomas, a nine year old African-American 4th grader with a series of legitimate medical as well as possibly psychosomatic physiological and psychological concerns. It provides a summary of the case and insights into proposed treatment approaches. It shows how the young lady has a great many psychosomatic as well as true medical situations that can be helped with thorough marriage, family and child counseling and a multidisciplinary approach to recovery.
From the Paper
"From the overabundance of traumatic events that she and the family have experienced, internalized and perceived as stressful, an initial physical diagnosis for Alicia could be that she has been suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. These events may include but not be limited to the deaths of her brothers, her father's hospital stay and other nuances such as being over looked in a large family setting. "PTSD is primarily an anxiety disorder and should not be confused with normal grief and adjustment after traumatic events. For most people, the emotional effects of traumatic events will tend to subside after several months. If they last longer than that then consideration should be given to diagnosing a psychiatric disorder." (Wikopedia, 2005) "
