addition, a growing body of scholarship is being devoted to identifying opportunities to reduce the negative effects of loneliness among the elderly, including depression, anxiety, elevated blood pressure and cortisol as well as heightened responses to stress and cardiovascular diseases (Singh & Srivastava, 2014). This does not mean, of course, that loneliness among the elderly is going to be solved overnight, but these findings do underscore the fact that the problem is widely recognized and young researchers recognize that they too will join the ranks of the elderly and will need timely and effective solutions to these issues. In other words, the heat is on!

hand, the set of independent variables comprise of exposure to substance abuse, ethnicity, age, and gender, poverty, and loneliness. Regression would play a significant role in helping with the learning process regarding the nature of the relationship between the variables. The analysis will particularly entail descriptive statistics as well as regression, correlation, and ANOVA analysis. Descriptive statistics will be used to present demographic data and provide measures of central tendency such as averages and median, while the statistical analyses will be important for testing the relationship between the dependent and independent variables (Draper and Smith, 2014).
One-way ANOVA is delineated as an approach that can be utilized for… Continue Reading...
with their needs. I cited a study by Landeiro, Barrows, Musson, Gray and Leal (2017) which focused on the value of reducing loneliness and isolation among the elderly population by visiting them, reading to them, and talking to them. I showed in the letter that this population is often neglected and that by helping them in their needs, one can support the overall community in a positive manner that promotes mindfulness, caring, kindness and other favorable virtues that can help communities develop in a beneficial manner.
Second, I held a convention with my community partner, to advocate for greater community-based care. Involved in the convention were 2 lawmakers, 3 health care professionals,… Continue Reading...
by biological theories. Research has proved that the common traits and actions seen in criminals like delusion, brutality, loneliness and spontaneity are a function of several biological features such as physical problems, blood glucose levels and eating habits, external head damage, mental function and makeup, heredity, body systems and impaired mental function. The supporters of this theory believe that the biological insight into conventional actions of criminal minds give more effective tools, mechanisms, beliefs and examples which can work smoothly with the normal anticrime systems in keeping up their work quality.
The basic belief of the study targeted at biological makeup and criminality is that there is a… Continue Reading...

Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same
Once again, the singer is not particularly breaching any line by observing the fact that reminders of prior happiness typically make one highly miserable after the happy days are gone. How wonderful it would have been if the singer was singing a cheerful song!
When our friends talk about you all that it does is just tear me down 'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
This is another harsh reality… Continue Reading...
isolation, loneliness and a waning sense of self in a rather acute manner. This is in part because of the foreign culture and customs. However, many of the nations that have taken in Syrian refugees are often inhospitable to those who practice Islam. Islamophobia is something that is pervasive around the world and that contributes to the refugees inability to adapt, and a pervasive feeling of a vanishing identity.
Islamophobia is nothing to underestimate and it acts as a real obstacle in the ability of refugees to both heal and to… Continue Reading...

loneliness and isolation that it indicates for Bartleby. This office copyist was living a life of exile, not just from friends and a stable domestic life, but also isolating himself from the rest of the world. As the narrator is apt to point out, the solitude that Bartleby experiences must be all-encompassing: “Think of it. Of a Sunday, Wall-street is deserted as Petra; and every night of every day it is an emptiness. This building too, which of week-days hums with industry and life, at nightfall echoes with sheer vacancy,… Continue Reading...
loneliness, isolation, and even suicidal ideation. Woolf goes so far as to link patriarchy with death itself.
Death is a major motif in Mrs. Dalloway, serving several functions. One of those functions is to refer to way patriarchy kills the soul. The character of Septimus and his ongoing cries about the “death of the soul” underscores this trajectory of thought in Woolf’s novel. Another function of the motif of death in Mrs. Dalloway is for Clarissa to contemplate her own mortality and thereby show the reader what she thinks of… Continue Reading...
and spells of extreme melancholy and loneliness. The character of Antwone Fisher, an African-American sailor, is portrayed as volatile and uncontrollable. This nature makes way for compulsory psychiatric sessions with Dr. Davenport, after Fisher has a violent spell, leaving a peer bearing the brunt of his temper. Initially, Fisher doesn’t cooperate and remains silent for several weeks; the two clash. According to naval rules, three therapeutic sessions are imperative, beginning from when the client starts speaking. However, ultimately, the real reasons underlying Fisher’s anger issues surface: childhood abuse and the constant fear of abandonment. (Skomormj, 2003).… Continue Reading...
