I decided to do my discussion on a woman named Alexandra Lewicke, who suffered from severe depression and self-harm disorder. She was diagnosed as a teenager, when she was a junior in high school. She was constantly bullied by others and her grades were suffering immensely. She had to be admitted to the hospital twice. She had believed that her depression was caused by all of the negative things around her, but when she moved away and began college, she realized that wasn’t the case.Despite having found wonderful new friends, a loving boyfriend, and having perfect grades, Alexandra still had the dark shadow of depression in the back of her mind. Her feelings got worse and she contemplated suicide.She knew she needed help, and so her close friends
“They carry different diseases than we do (The Help, 2011)” said Hilly Holbrook as she struggled to hide the fact she was dying to use the bathroom during a card game at Elizabeth Leefolt’s home. She figures that since Mrs. Leefolt does not have an outside bathroom for the colored help that Aibileen uses the guess bathroom as well and she refuses to use it. She later talked the Leefolt’s into building Aibileen her own bathroom outside the house… Racism in Jackson was at its prime in the 1960’s during the Civil Rights Movement. All negro women and some men work for white families and are treated like slaves. All over town signs say ‘COLORED’ or ‘WHITES ONLY.’ You did not talk to the colored help unless you were the one they are working for.

My topic selection was due to my personal interest and concern with mental health. My younger brother suffers from depression, which has affected his mental health over the past few years. When my brother was in middle school, my family and I had no idea he was having difficulty and hardships in school; he kept his feelings bottled up inside. By containing all his emotions, it affected his relationships with my parents, me, and his teachers and friends at school. My brother is a great kid, and has an unlimited amount of potential because he extremely talented in the arts. I believe his artistic skills will take him far in life and make him very well-known one day. However, all of his talent and potential got beat up by his depression. The depression took over his life; furthermore, he did not go to school, he dropped out of his extracurricular activities, and he became very distinct. I had seen my brother at his lowest point in his life. As his older sister, I wanted to cheer
As one’s condition worsens, the individual has choices to make which will impact their life for the better or maybe even for the worse. While growing up, I was acquainted with my neighbor, who I became friends with in middle school. She was cheery and optimistic, a people person. Overall, her family and friends would be delighted to see her around. In high school, my friend and I grew apart because she developed depression and was suicidal. She inflicted self-harm onto herself and had said, “I’m ready for death if it comes.” She crossed the line and tried to commit suicide which later resulted in her admittance to the mental hospital. I am not sure what treatments she received, but all I know is that it impacted her greatly because she came out of that place as if she were the same person before
Firstly,the suppose it story stated by Aileen wuornos that her victims had tried to rape or had raped her while she was working as a prostitute was the reason behind her killing each and every one of them. Most people we think that that is a possible case but others would think that there are specific theories that could explain why she did what she did such as the biosocial theory developed by Lombroso that says criminals are born and not made and the other theory the Social Control Theory developed by Travis Hirschi that says that individuals break the law due to a breakdown with their societal bond

Almost every person has someone whom they admire and respect the most in the world. Regardless of who it is people tend to look up to someone they believe is superior or have aspects of which they enjoy. Be it because of fame, beauty, intelligence, history or something of the same form it is typical for people to have at least one person. Though I may be calculated into the mass of people who claim a friend to be their most admired person, I believe that Christine Ardans is someone who I admire most. I remember the first day I met her, she had already struck me as someone different and was not someone you’d typically meet on a normal day. Christine had a strong sense of ambition, had intelligence, and had the kindest heart and she does to this day. She was like an undiscovered book,
grove of orange trees, he exclaimed: “Here, here is Paradise.” Helena Attlee has travelled the length of Italy in pursuit of citrus, from Castello near Florence, a garden once owned by the Medici family with trees that are 300 years old, to the slopes of Mount Etna, where the garnet-red blood oranges grow. The secret of their extraordinary colour is temperature: “It’s cold, not warmth, that sets blood oranges on fire on the Etna plain.” But oranges are, apparently, relative newcomers. From the mandarin in China, the pomelo in Malaysia and the citron in the Himalayas, the genus has grown to include a vast number of species. Attlee’s sensual prose brings its extraordinary history to life. Her descriptions of the fruit – with their “yellow hands”,
In the 1980s, Sophie Calle, a French modern artist, found an address book on the sidewalks of Paris. Mesmerized and curious about the owner of the address book, Sophie Calle conducted a social experiment in which she immersed herself into this man’s life by calling and visiting every name in his address book and asking questions about this man. She did this to understand the full picture of this man. Her philosophy is that one cannot truly know one’s self until examined from every angle. Sophie Calle is not an ethnographer by trade, but a majority of her modern art would fall under ethnographic research.
