Kroeger's "AIDS And The Girl Next Door"
Number of words: 795 - Number of pages: 3.... similarly the rush didn’t seem to present a serious danger. Therefore, the “news” struck her and threw into a state of a shock: “My hands and feet went ice cold. I thought I would lose control of my bowels. I stood up and started pacing like an animal in a cage, looking out the window.”
Immediately other thoughts entered her mind, it can’t be happening. It must be some careless mistake made by irresponsible lab-staff. Disbelief in the reality and denial of what is happening give a poor woman hope, and the test is repeated twice, having the same devastating results. The de .....

Herbal Medicines
Number of words: 1870 - Number of pages: 7.... do tend to be more dillute, it decreases the risk of the more serious side effects that come along with the stonger drugs. Antibiotics, as a drug, may do more to the body than just get rid of the bacteria or virus. That is why Ann Beemer, a Pierre, S.D., sophomore, said "she felt good about taking zinc and Echinacea tablets when she had a cold." She felt they were more gentle than over the counter medicines (Gullickson np). People that have experienced problems with over-the-counter drugs have turned to a safer alternative to healing.
Over the years people have discovered many helpful .....

Abortion
Number of words: 1430 - Number of pages: 6.... lives after their abortions. I think that the mental state of
the mother depends very much on her personal feelings toward abortion, and
the actual experience the had before and during the abortion.
Pro-life propaganda
In my study of pro-lifers, I have found that most of the time, they
employ the use of a few strategies for making their views known. One tactic
pro-lifers use to convince people of their views is to play on fear and
emotions. Their graphic descriptions and gruesome pictures are a crude
attempt to "scare" people out of abortion, while their pious talk and
sobbing t .....

Your Brain
Number of words: 1110 - Number of pages: 5.... of the body and leans more to the creative, the intuitive.
It is concerned more with the visual and emotional side of life.
Most people, if they thought about it, would identify more with their
left brain. In fact, many of us think we are our left brains. All of that non-
stop verbalization that goes on in our heads is the dominant left brain talking
to itself. Our culture- particularly our school system with its emphasis on the
three Rs (decidedly left-brain territory) - effectively represses the intuitive
and artistic right brain. If you don't believe it, see how far you get a .....

Skin Cancer: The Dangers Of Wanting A Dark Tan
Number of words: 486 - Number of pages: 2.... else on the body.
Stage III:
This is when the melanoma has spread to a nearby lymph basin or other tissue.
Stage IV:
This is the most serious, where the mutated cells have spread throughout distant parts of the body.
Countless reports have been done and released to the public on the dangers of too much exposure to the sun and skin cancer. This has almost been to no avail. I believe that in order to help teens realize the dangers, we need to target areas that they relate to most. An example of this is television, there are countless commercials warning people about the danger .....

Different Life Crises Have Different Impacts
Number of words: 1426 - Number of pages: 6.... way to in order not to become overwhelmed with the changes.
. In many cases, however, it may be possible to anticipate crises and prepare for them. It may also be useful to recognize the impact of crises that have occurred so that one can take account of them appropriately. Holmes and Rahe with the Social Readjustment Scale have done some very interesting work in this area. This allocates a number of “Life Crisis Units” to different events, so that one can evaluate them and take action accordingly (Niven 99). While this approach is obviously a simplification of complex situations, us .....

Being An Athletic Trainer
Number of words: 719 - Number of pages: 3.... athletes to continue playing.
Personal and physical characteristics are important to any career. Some jobs are more demanding than others physically. While others suggest a challenge more mentally than physically.

For an athletic trainer, physically you must be able to communicate well with athletes on proper use of equipment and confer with coaches and physicians. You also have to kneel, stoop, and crouch to examine and treat injuries.
Athletic trainers also should have good hand-eye coordination. They need to see and react to almost any situation in an instant. If you wis .....

Factors That Influence Drug Addiction
Number of words: 855 - Number of pages: 4.... a drug addiction. Nevertheless, drugs and alcohol do exist, so it isn’t their existence that effects the addiction, but how readily available to the addict each substance is. The Vietnam Veterans, who used heroin during the war, are an excellent example of how availability strengthens the addiction process. Opiates were very easy to obtain in Vietnam, and as a result ten percent of our soldiers tested positive for heroine use during the war. Upon their return home, Robins et all studied 860 men for their drug use. Their study stated that twenty percent of the men tested (at discharge .....

Lucid Dreaming
Number of words: 1907 - Number of pages: 7.... clue in the dream;
they just suddenly realize that they are in a dream. A minority of lucid dreams
(about 10 percent) are the result of returning to REM sleep directly from an
awakening with unbroken reflective consciousness (LaBerge, 1985). These types of
lucid dreams occur most often during daytime napping. If the napper has been REM
deprived from a previous night of little sleep their chances of having a REM
period at sleep onset are increased. If the napper is able to continue his or
her train of thought up to the point of sleep, a lucid dream may develop due to
an immediate REM per .....
