ironment and within that realm white upper and middle class males polished their competitive skills in order to support and reproduce hegemonic masculinity (Connell qtd. in Majors 209).This paper studies different types of masculinities presented in football and golf and observes that in football masculinity is considered to be purely hegemonic that entertains ‘lad culture’, it is represented to be less hegemonic and entertain elitist or bourgeois class in golf. The research also finds out that regardless of the hegemony level in both sports, representation of traditional hegemonic models in creates issues of power among genders.

“The masculinities of the runner, football player, and rock climber are qualitatively different. each sport combined various symbolic discourses to create masculinity particular to the sport” (qtd. in Wheaton 16).

Sports play a vital role in shaping and molding contemporary masculinity. In this way, sports in general and televised sports in particular are observed to construct a power structure of masculinity with dynamic, commanding and competitive image of the male as an apex of contemporary manhood (Feasey 98-99).

According to Masculinity and sports media, in contemporary society, sports media plays a vital role in shaping young boy’s perception and construction of masculinity. According to a study conducted by Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles revels that 98 percent of American boys between 8 and 17 years of age consume sports media on regular basis. In professional sports, men domination is evident. From violent athletes to coaches and aggressive commentators to reporters, sports media is becoming increasingly powerful when it comes to its capability to transmit ideas of masculinity to young boys.

Sports narratives and descriptions portray masculinity as heroic, competitive, vital and predominantly aggressive. Most prominent themes of this presentation are comradeship, heterosexuality, violence, injuries, pain,

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on What are your positions on sex and drugs in Psychology. It needs to be at least 750 words.

Download file to see previous pages…

In this essay, sex and drugs in psychology will be discussed briefly. People use illegal drugs and alcohol for their pleasurable experiences. Human brain has a ‘pleasure pathway’ that mediates our experience of reward. Researchers have proposed the dopaminergic system and its opioid-releasing neurons as the ‘ pleasurable pathway’. This begins in the midbrain ventral segmental area and then work its way forward through the nucleus accumbens and on the frontal vortex (Barlow &amp. Durand, 2004). The substances activate this center and impart feelings of pleasure. Drugs like amphetamine and cocaine directly activate the dopaminergic system. Opiates inhibit GABA which in turn stops the GABA neurons from inhibiting dopamine, thus making dopamine more available in the reward center (Barlow &amp. Durand, 2004). Studies with humans, twin, family and adoption cases have revealed that certain people may be genetically vulnerable to substance abuse (Barlow &amp. Durand, 2004). The studies also revealed that while use of illegal drugs is primarily influenced by environment, abuse and dependence is influenced by various genetic factors. People take psychoactive substances to recapture the pleasure they experience during consumption. Also, the social contexts for drug taking may encourage its use (Barlow &amp. Durand, 2004). This is known as positive reinforcement. …

Juvenile delinquency is a major public challenge in most countries of the world and has several contributing factors to it, one of which is drug abuse. Addiction to drugs among youngsters instigates criminal violence for several reasons including acute euphoric effects, economic related strikes and legal-illegal battles. Statistics have indicated that criminal offenses by young people have soared over years and many of them are related to excessive alcohol intake and illicit drug abuse. According to a developmental research by Kaplan and Damhouse (1995. cited in Karofi, 2005), there exists a direct relationship between adolescent narcotic abuse, especially marijuana and adult violence. People who are under the influence of drugs are likely to indulge in risky sex and be acquainted with rape. They can also indulge in violence and illegal activities and be prone for accidents and losing friends and families. Many adolescents report that certain environmental stress factors precipitate sexual urge and abnormal behavior in them. Child abuse has been an important risk factor where in the victim in childhood turns abuser later in life. This is known as “victim-to-abuser cycle” or “abused-abusers phenomena” (Hall &amp. Hall, 2007). However, this is still a debated topic and many researchers argue that their studies don’t prove this. Those who are in favor of this theory argue that “identification with the aggressor, in which the abused child is trying to gain a new identity by becoming the abuser. an imprinted sexual arousal pattern established by early abuse. early abuse leading to hypersexual behavior.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on What are the trends in non-state conflict over the past 20-30 years (or for whatever time period you have data). It needs to be at least 500 words.

Citizen to government tensions happen in militaristic states. Often, the civilians consider the government as oppressive, the reason why they fight against it. In other instances, the military rules the state after conducting a successful coup dé·tat. History is replete with examples such as what happened in Afghanistan in 1978 and Argentina in 1966 (Political Instability Task Force).

Political parties’ competition is evident based on historical accounts. Compared to ethnic rivalries and citizen to government tensions, this type of non-state conflict is continuous, from 1955 until now. Nevertheless, it is only apparent in states which are not yet completely democratic like Benin and Congo-Kinshasa (Political Instability Task Force).

Significantly, from the year 1946 up to 2005, internal armed conflict has decreased (Williams 159). From 2002 until 2005, battle-death internal conflicts have declined by about seventy percent (Williams 159). However, if the years 1946 and 2004 will be compared, there is a higher incident of non-state armed conflict in the latter year (Williams 159).

Ethnic rivalries are recurring as ethnic groups want to preserve their identity and existence from generation to generation. There are times when they need to bear arms just to maintain society’s recognition. In some other situations, they have to compete for power and authority. This goes to say that power struggle is evident upon ethnic groups. This struggle turns into conflict when politics and religion join into the picture. If the government is not committed to providing a solution, this conflict persists.

It is understandable why citizen to government tensions occur in states governed by the military. Often, this kind of government is strict and autocratic, the reason why the citizens could feel dissatisfied and oppressed (Art and Waltz 3). Since the one, which has power and authority, is the military, there is no other recourse but to unite and fight. The citizens,

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on What is the current status of clinical gene therapy trials for Chronic Granulomatous Disorder. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

ests that the disease is present in ‘one in 250,000’ infants at birth, but the symptoms become evident only when the child reaches a few months of age (Assari 2006: 6). Only 21% of patients have survived the disease beyond the age of 7 previously, whereas the recent trends show improvement in the survival rates because of the ‘advancement in treatments’ (Assari 2006: 6). On the other hand, the disease can rarely occur in adults, and therefore, if someone has the problem of ‘recurrent infections’, it will be advisable to subject such individuals to an evaluation, irrespective of the age factor (Chung, Cyr & Ellis 2013: 2).

Gene therapy, which is the intervention in a disease or disorder through introducing genes into the affected cells to set right the impacts of ‘specific gene mutations’, is one of the methods used in the treatment of CGD (Dugal & Chaudhary 2012: 4). However, evidence suggests that in order for the treatment to be effective, the appropriate gene will have to be incorporated into the target cell ‘specifically, efficiently and stably’ (Dugal & Chaudhary 2012: 4). On the other hand, it is also necessary to use the most appropriate vector for the introduction of the gene or gene delivery into the human cell. Research studies have identified lentiviral vectors (LVs) to be one of the effective and the ‘most widely used’ vectors in gene therapy (Dugal & Chaudhary 2012: 4). A study conducted by Assari (2006: 6) on mice found that gene therapy, using recombinant retroviral vectors, is an effective treatment for the reconstruction of normal neutrophils and in building ‘resistance to pathogens’ such as Aspergillus. The author also contends that gene therapy, using retroviral vectors in two humans, has produced ‘encouraging results’ where both of them have attained remarkable levels of gene corrected cells and their clinical conditions show good improvement (Assari 2006: 6). Studies further substantiate the fact that gene

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on What are some of the psychoeducational interventions used in managing bipolar personalities. It needs to be at least 250 words.

Its symptoms are often misdiagnosed because it is not easy to arrive at a definitive conclusion. it is a life-long chronic ailment but can be managed properly to enable having a normal life just like anybody else. There are some interventions in this regard which can be quite helpful.

Despite individuals or patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder having different types of personalities, character and temperament (Goodwin & Jamison, 2007, p. 324), it is still possible to develop beneficial interventions to mitigate the ill effects of this mental ailment. One of those commonly tried are the psycho-educational interventions suitably developed for each person and these include seminars and workshops for both parent and the afflicted teen or adolescent to educate them and disabuse their minds of wrong notions and false or dysfunctional beliefs about depression (Geller & Delbello, 2008, p. 188). The purpose of this is to recognize the symptoms early and to seek immediate treatment before the episode becomes a full-blown crisis (NIMH, 2012, p. 1) and another very helpful intervention is self-help, derived from increased knowledge, which essentially involves avoiding episode triggers or crisis situations that cause the depression. Psycho-educational interventions are mere adjuncts to normal treatment that involves the use of both medication and psychotherapy (or talk therapy that preferably involves family members). It is the right combination of these treatment factors that can avoid a relapse of bipolar

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on What is the best solution to preventing deaths from drunk driving this is a(problem solution). It needs to be at least 750 words.

To start with, drivers who drive under alcohol influence have impaired driving skills. According to Duke University, drunk drivers show deviations from pure rational decision making (4). Driving under influence of alcohol makes many people fail to obey the traffic rules accordingly or even fail to see the road signs at all. This is because many of those drivers may have taken the alcohol for fun or out of stress. Those who consume the alcohol for the fun bit of it may start exercising funny driving habits like driving with loud music in the vehicles just for fun but, loud music can cause obstruction to the driver leading to accident. On the other hand, drivers who take alcohol as a way of relieving stress can unknowingly drive the vehicles at very high or extremely low speeds that can obstruct other road users leading to accident.

Secondly, the road fatalities that result from drunk driving are alarmingly high calling for attention to solve the problem. Considering the number of road trips taken by people while driving under alcohol influence, the increased road fatalities are inevitable. According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, “one out of every two thousand trips” are taken by drivers under alcoholic influence in America (1). This indicates the high probability of having road accidents caused by drunk drivers. Further, Mothers Against Drunk Driving state that someone gets killed in a drunk driving accident on an average of 53 minutes (1). The large numbers of deaths resulting from drunk driving indicate the seriousness of the problem to the society.

However, despite the seriousness of the problem, there exists a viable solution that when implemented could result into zero alcohol related accidents. Incorporation of technology to assist deter drunk drivers from driving vehicles can minimize if not end the problem. Use of alcohol detection gadgets by police on road patrol and

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on WHAT ARE PROBLEMS FACED BY ASYLUM SEEKERS, NEWCOMERS AND REFUGEES ARTISTS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM TO PRACTICE ART. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

The document discusses some of the traditions and laws in the UK that the refugees ride upon. In addition, it presents some of the policies and programs on the practice of art, as well as the challenges they face hitherto.

Global activities have significantly affected the influx of refugees and asylums into the United Kingdom. For instance, from the years 2001 to 2005, there was an 85% increase in Afghanistan refugees, leading to a total of about 6% in the year 2006. The decrease coincided with the ‘war on terror’. The ‘United Nations High Commission for Refugees’ has reported a constant annual drop from 2002 in asylums seeking refuge in United Kingdom (Home Office, 2008). The UK has been a place of refuge for people escaping from their countries due to family relations, colonial links and the fairness in the UK’s legal system. In addition, the UK has been known to be friendly to newcomers. However, with the recent claims trying to taint its image, the UK has come up with some policies that deny asylum seekers and refugees access to essential services, but, has not restricted the number of people visiting it. The Labour government has come up with laws that give restrictions to people going to seek for job opportunities in the UK. Nevertheless, the same law does not restrict the number of people seeking asylum in the United Kingdom.

Mostly, people looking for asylums have gone through traumatic experiences in their mother countries. hence, need to find peace in the host country. However, in the UK, the process of applying for asylum takes quite long, from months to sometimes even years. Bearing in mind the kind of experience they underwent in their country, most of them face psychological and mental issues as they await acceptance into the host country, like the UK. The situation makes asylum seekers different from other immigrants (Merli, 2002:

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on What is happiness to you. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

onio Rangel in 2008, money increases happiness as the people with a higher expense and expenditure lived a more happy life as compared to those who wanted to save cost. The group taking expensive wine was happier compared to the group taking less expensive wine. This means that happiness is all about money and if one spends more on someone they care for, they will be happy. Most people treasure good and expensive things that can only be bought with money in the materialistic world we live in today. There are some many destitute families in the world mostly in the developing countries, through charity these families can be helped using money thus making them happy. Happiness is based on what one acquires and achieves, hence money is happiness as it enables people acquire what they want.

In addition, happiness can be hinged on having good relationship with members of the family and the community as well. Family is a main contributing factor for one to be happy, as through the it, one is able to get solace in times of grief. Family provides some form of emotional support to each other thus contributing towards one’s happiness. Through family come together, there is a lot of sharing among family members which leads to happiness. Through sharing about past experiences, members of the family are able to reminisce about good memories they shared at earlier stages of life. This feeling provides happiness as they tend to reflect how their past had been hence forgetting current bad happenings hence emotional satisfaction and happiness (Lulu, 116).

Conventional implicit policy to my assumption has a strong relationship between happiness and family through equation with social well-being. The importance of additional family policy has an indication well-being emotionally in a state of happiness in connection to families at the level of psychology hence provide a better comprehensive understanding of a person’s well happiness and well-being.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Weight lost. It needs to be at least 500 words.

Several factors in the human body affect the rate of shading off the excess calories, which lead to the desired loss of weight metabolic rate being one of the factors (Chatterjee 2007). The amount of energy that a human body consumes through the running of several organs varies from one person to the other. Consumption of this energy highly depends on the muscle tissue and those who consume high energy during rest are likely to burn more calories than those who use little energy. Body response to calorie reduction is the other factor. This varies from one person to the other as the body may decide to shut down automatically to preserve more calories. Other factors include the level of stress, genetic composition, amount of sleep and the type and amount of bacteria found in the gut.

Exercise is one of the elements practised by many to enhance weight loss. Just like an automotive, a human body needs a supply of energy during activity to the muscles to help carry on (Chatterjee 2007). When the exercise is continuously carried out, it depletes the blood sugar, which in turn sends signals to the specific glands that release hormones that enhance the removal of more fats stored to provide the needed energy.

Dieting is another important factor that a person who intends to lose weight should keep in mind. Since the stored excess fat brings excess weight, an individual should ensure that the diet is less in sugar and starch (Shartava, 2011). Overcoming the huger feeling and taking bites is always a big challenge but if one can be able to avoid this then, it can be of great help. Burning off more calories than a person is consuming helps in the situation.

Weight loss has a significant effect in the daily activities of an individual. First is the ability to perform more activities without exhaustion as compared to an individual who has more weight (Saylor, 2006). This is associated with the ability to move easily and perform tasks with ease. The other thing is
