A mysterious and strange malady arrives in the small American town of Abida which can be found on an island off the coast of the New England region. The island is somewhat isolated, most political matters are handled locally between it's people, this is due to the islands history. The people of Abida are the final result of successful human amalgamation between slave and owner with many of which who still holds on to their eccentric ancestral beliefs that revolve around "the old ways". This causes many to rarely visit or leave the island and as a consequence Abida is flung into a realm of enigma lying beyond the fringes of the New Englander's conscience. Without the aid of the mainland however, the disease, which is referred to locally as "scourge" takes large sections of

Resembling many of the other cultures that we have been learning about and discussing during the course of the semester, the Cherokee have stories explaining the formation of the universe, have a creator, a trickster, and a collection of various other interesting myths. The mythology of a culture results in oneness within the community and a sense of homogeneity that is difficult to achieve by any other means. The agriculture of the Cherokee requires cooperation between the members of the community and rejects being selfish and only looking out for the wellbeing of oneself or one family member.

Kara can’t count the number of times she has said “I think they thought they could say that to me because I’m black.” And she equally cannot count the number of times someone has said back to her “I don’t think that’s it.” Kara is fed up with the micro-aggressions and active denial of her feelings and experiences. So she plans to share them whether we like it or not.

Caputo and Rouner’s study found that many people are uneducated about mental illness and they get their information from the media (2011, p. 595 ). Citing National Mental Health Association, Caputo and Rouner (2011), noted that 58% of people learn about mental illness from newspapers, 51% from television news, 34% from news magazines, and 70% from television programs (p. 596). There is so much negativity attached to mental illness that many people are scared to seek help because of public perception (Caputo & Rouner, 2011, p.

We have identified an independent organization named Kumfa. This organization was founded by unwed mothers. This organization started as a small group of single women with children that would meet at cafes and/or via internet chats in order to share information as well as provide support for each other. Now Kumfa was grown to support unwedded Korean women and provide monthly meetings providing educational lessons, important information, answering question or doubts, as well as addressing different issues that mothers might be facing. They have also created Holiday Camps in order to provide unwedded mothers and their children with some sense of family environment during the Holidays. As of 2011 Kumfa has integrated a Heater shelter; which is a place where 24 unwedded mothers can find refuge. These mothers are supported for two months, they are also helped by social workers to be able to find housing and jobs. Their children are provided with basic healthcare at no cost. Heater shelter accepts women of all ages with children.

There have been many problems with people not being to recognize a mental disorder when they see one. This causes issues because when someone wants help for it, others can’t help them because they don’t know what is wrong. One of the biggest problems in the lack of mental health literacy is that people doubt the effectiveness in medication and psychotherapy. Research has shown that the most effective way to treat a mental disorder is through taking medication and seeing a therapist. Through the media and word of mouth, there has been many doubts about this. People see only the negative side effects of medication and other forms of treatment.

Scream aloud and you will be heard, because if you scream in your head and sigh quietly aloud, no one will hear. More often than not, it is the loud, obnoxious, and the obvious that are recognized. It is true that ignorance is not an excuse for not learning, but one must realize the ignorance before being able to right it. Many people are ignorant when it comes to mental illness. "It is an odd paradox, that a society, which can now speak openly and unabashedly about topics that were once unspeakable, still remains largely silent when it comes to mental illness" (Lieschied). Today it is not much different from the time of Bartleby 's, because many are more comfortable working with what they know. However in dealing with people who have mental illness, people become silent, and simply observe letting the "afflicted" person be. Because people more often than not, do not know, or do not want to try, to deal with something that is foreign to them.
