Symbolism is an important factor in many stories. In “Interpreter of Maladies”, the author, Jhumpa Lahiri, uses the symbol to represent her idea.

As technology continues to evolve, our understanding of sickness and disease grows as well. Modern day technology is able to tell doctors what caused the disease and in ideal situations how to cure it. Recent scientists have begun to look at the desire to kill as a disease. This theory poses an interesting concept that if it is a disease, then maybe there is a cure that prevents serial killers from killing. In Christer Claus and Lars Lidberg’s article they look at the desire to kill as a disease. The article states that while using Schahriar Syndrome as a model, they are able to explain even the most vicious human behaviours, such as planned and repeated homicide (Claus/Lidberg 428). This disease is broken down into five main characteristics: omnipotence, sadistic fantasies, ritualized performance, dehumanization, and symbiotic merger. These five traits are not only common among people with the disease, but among serial killers as well (428). The article states that after a successful killing, the killer is surprised. When the killer is able to get away with murder, a sense of amazement consumes them. Once the killer has repeatedly killed their victim and escaped the authorities, they begin to feel like they are omnipotent. As time goes on, over fifty percent of serial killers experience sadistic fantasies that make them want to keep committing the crimes. Each killer uses their success and sadistic fantasies to form a certain ritual. They begin to believe that if they are
My current physical condition is excellent. I am playing many different types of sports which strength a range of muscles. I participate in the sports not only because I enjoy them but also because I am able to keep in shape. I am not only in excellent physical condition from my sports but also from my diet and sleeping patterns. I eat any type of vegetables and fruits including brussel sprouts and beets. I sleep for over eight hours by going to bed by nine thirty and waking up at six thirty. This gives me the perfect amount of energy to be able to start school on weekdays. This is why my current physical condition is exceptional.
The first paragraph of your personal statement, one or two sentences, should make clear the purpose of your writing: to present an interpretive summary of your background, academic interests, and future goals as justification for your admission to a program of graduate study. An encounter with an unforgettable young girl when I was in the 5th grade of medical school has driven me since then. My aspiration is to contribute to a world where more children could live healthy lives. As I have trained to be a pediatric resident, I have been interested in infectious diseases and epidemiology, and thorough an experience of infectious disease outbreak investigation, I am eager to become a field epidemiology specialist and contribute to make a sustained surveillance system in Japan and epidemiology education system to more health care workers.

The greatest threat to democracy as a way of life, not just a political arrangement, but as an attitude of mind - is authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is stoked by fear, both rational and irrational, and it looks to a strong punitive leader who promises to use force to end threats by outsiders and persons "not like us." It seeks order and stability at all costs. It subscribes to a command-and-obey or "top down" or hierarchical mentality. This is directly opposed to a democratic or "horizontal" mentality, characterized by openmindness, cooperation, and respect for others as equals.
Norman Cousins’ book Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient is the story of one man’s ablity to overcome the typical medical model of dealing with a disability, and how the mind is an amazing healing tool. This book is not just about Norman’s disability, bu also about his belief that if you want something bad enough, you can get it. I found this book particulatly interesting because I am currently trying get off my allergy medication, and cure myself through natural methods. I think this book is inspiring, and enables the reader to believe that they are the only ones in control of their health. When most people get sick, they go to a doctor, or medicine cabinet, to get well again. Our society has put our health in the hands of a

My interest in Infectious disease began even before entering residency half way across the world in the unique country of Nepal. Nepal is rich in natural beauty with breath taking landscapes, diverse culture but is also one of the most impoverished. I had the privilege to witness first hand how the dedicated physicians living there do the most with less in one of the most remotest parts of Nepal. Majority of the cases were infectious in nature with differentials including organisms not as prevalent in the US: tuberculosis, typhoid, dengue, malaria, brucellosis and leptospirosis to name a few. What the physicians lacked in resources, they made up their close attention to detail in both the history and the thoroughness of their physical exam. My interest further developed during my residency years where I had the pleasure of working with seasoned infectious disease attendings and was exposed to an array of pathology… even seeing a handful of extremely rare
Three problems i’ve been having lately is a work-school balance, seeing friends, and health. My health has been an exponential problem the older i get. To be specific; my knees are deformed in combination with having spaghetti noodles for tendons, they dislocate often. I also had to have spinal fusion surgery, I cannot twist my torso cannot lift much weight. On top of that i have a history of spontaneously fainting. These are problems because it makes it difficult to hold a job, it’s embarrassing and expensive to have an ambulance called for you so often, doctors say my health would improve if i exercised- yet i can’t exercise because of my health. The alternatives to combat this i’ve tried are to warn people such as professors and bosses not
Interpreter of Maladies focuses on communication as one of the universal themes throughout the book. The stories demonstrate how communication is the key to the success or failure of relationships. While there are instances when communication is effectively employed and therefore enabled the characters to build strong and intimate connections, there are examples of where communication was superficial or ineffectual, leading to unstable, limited relationships. Jhumpa Lahiri illustrates the importance of communication within relationships by allowing readers to experience the consequences and advantages that have developed as a result throughout the short
