Explain The Risks Of Artificial Tanning Or Prolonged Exposure To The Sun

Sharon Miller is the author of this article and is part of FDA. In this article she discusses how each type of uv rays damage the skin and which uv ray is used in tanning beds. This is relevant to my topic because it demonstrates the risk of skin cancer. Many people think tanning gives them a ¨healthy¨ glow, but in reality a tan is a sign on skin damage. UV-B rays burn the top layer of skin resulting in a sunburn in most cases. UV-A rays burn into a deeper layer of the skin causing a rash to appear. Tanning beds emit UV-B rays and UV-A rays, which is why you tend to get a sunburn before turning dark. The UV-B rays cause your body to emit more melanin, which is a pigment that darkens the skin. This is why we get tan in the summer whether it

In the article, “Warning: That Tan Could Be Hazardous. Indoor Tanning Poses Cancer Risks, Teenagers Lear” the writer, Sabrina Tavernise discusses how tanning indoors in tanning beds will put people at a higher risk for Melanoma, especially teen tanners because they are at such a young age.

“Those who tanned the most—for ten years or more had more than twice the risk of melanoma compared with people who never used tanning beds.”—Martin Weinstock of Brown University of Medicine. Tanning beds are very menacing machines. They give out ultra violet rays that lead to melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Tanning beds are causing many problems to millions of people.

There has been speculation that using a tanning bed is the only harmful method to a person’s health, but that is utterly wrong. A tan, whether from a bed, on the beach, or through accidental exposure,

In addition, tanning industries claim that UVA radiation has no harmful effects on the skin. They say that only UVB radiation can harm the outermost layer of the skin. Since UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, then they say that tanning beds cannot cause any type of premature aging, burn the skin, or thicken

Being the daughter of woman who has had both basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer, I am biased in my belief that tanning beds cause skin cancer. As a teenager, I never used the services of a tanning salon, because my mother and my dermatologist succeeded in terrifying me about the dangers of tanning beds. Not surprisingly the article I found, “Congressional Investigation Finds Tanning Salons Lie About Health Risks to Patrons”, confirmed my beliefs. The article summarizes a study that was completed by the U.S House and Energy Committee, which revealed that 90% of the 300 tanning salons that were researched by the committee had denied the inherent risks associated with tanning beds. In addition, the author of the article, Mikaela Conley, compares and contrasts the causation between skin cancer and tanning beds between professionals who have conflicting interests.

Many people think that is it possible to achieve a “healthy tan,” but this thought has been proven wrong. Overexpose to UV-A and UV-B rays from the sun lead to premature aging of the skin, as well as the possible formation of skin cancer, know as melanoma. An appearance of a tan is actually a stage of burning and damage to the skin. Although a tan may be desirable to many, the fact remains that more people need to be educated on the dangers of the sun’s harmful rays, and the possible health complications of overexposure.

The reasoning behind this is because tanning beds are bad for one's skin, health, and no one takes into consideration how much damage they can cause. 35% of all American adults, 59% of college students, 17% of all teens tan, but yet no one seems to realize the damage because it is so easy to become addicted to. “Tanning beds have been declared as carcinogen (cancer-crawling substances). Tanning beds can lead to long term effects like wrinkling in the skin, damage to collagen of skin, cataracts and mutations that impair the DNA’s normal functions. But tanning beds can also lead to eye cancer and damage to the tissue. There are many other things out there that people can use instead of going into a tanning bed and damaging their skin each time they go. They have things such as tanning lotion, creams or sprays that are not harmful to the body. “Endorphins trigger a positive feeling in the body, easily comparable to morphine,” (“Why is tanning dangerous?”) But they’re also short term effects that come along with using tanning beds such as redness of the skin, dark spots, DNA damage, thickening of the epidermis (inflamed or swollen), sunburn or sun

Applying a sunscreen with a skin protection factor of 15-30, wearing protective clothing such as thin jackets, hats, and sunglasses, and limiting time in the sun when possible are all effective options for protecting your skin against the effects of UV rays. I personally have an olive complexion and have never experienced the effects of sunburn and have often reveled in the tanning effect of time spent in the sun. It is now clear to me that no matter your skin tone, it is crucial to protect yourself from the deeper effects of exposure to UV rays and it is not as simple as using sunscreen to avoid a burn. Additionally, informing others of the significant risk associated with tanning beds is everyone’s responsibility. The risk of melanoma increases by 75% to those who use tanning beds before the age of 35; it is painfully clear that dangers of allowing the benefits of a temporarily dark complexion to outweigh the risks is both irresponsible and

Millions of Americans are affected with mental illness each year. Mental illness is very serious disorder and can get worse if left untreated. It can make it difficult for people to cope with everyday life and it can interfere with sleep and eating habits. Mental illness can affect anyone whether it ranges from mood disorders or even anxiety. The cause of mental illness is unknown but chemical imbalances in the body can trigger stress and even trauma, it can be passed from generation to generation and alcohol and drug abuse can also play a role in this illness. People begin to wonder if that God was all loving why would he make people live a miserable life, why wouldn’t he let people happy and if God was all powerful why wouldn’t he stop the mental illnesses from affecting people. I will explain the questions people began to raise with three of the theodicy arguments; Evil as a Privation of Good, The Free Will Defense, and Evil as Therapy.

Tanning has become increasingly popular over years. The question is it beneficial or a bad business deal to start. The truth is tanning is convenient method utilized by many individuals to gain skin tone and color, builds self- esteem and promote relaxation. It can be beneficial in many aspects of our lives as well as an alternative to more harmful exposure but there are always risks at everything you do. Dermatologists today are against it for the simple fact that they believe it causes skin cancer. According to NCI (National Cancer Institute) exposure to UV radiation—whether from the sun or from artificial sources such as sunlamps utilized in tanning beds—increases of developing skin cancer. IRAC (International Agency for Research on

Twenty minutes in a tanning bed is like spending a whole day at the beach with no sun block. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin tissue, changing the DNA structure. Scientists discovered that tanning beds are as dangerous as arsenic and mustard gas. (Siddons) People tan

There are several controversies surrounding capital punishment. Some people are in favor of the death penalty and some people are against it. Capital punishment is the death penalty for a crime. It is not right to seek revenge on another person’s life, and we have the right to live. There should be justice for the crime but not take the life of the person that committed the crime. Many people are not aware of how wrong, painful, and costly an execution is, and above all, it is possible to kill innocent people.

They confuse people about the real risks of indoor tanning. Many people with Vitamin D deficiency heard that brief exposure to UV light was good for them. The tanning industry ran with that. They used this as an advertising claim and lured many people inside. Such carefully crafted claims are what convince people that tanning beds are safe.

What draws people to read horror stories and novels? When people first think of horror, they usually automatically think of monsters, creepy woods, and etc, but there are many elements in horror in horror genre that creates the thrill that horror stories give to the reader. Within the Thrill of Horror collection, some elements that show horror are a suspicious setting, crazy supernatural elements, and a ton of gut wrenching suspense. The authors Edgar Allan Poe and W.W. Jacobs mastered these elements in their stories, “The Black Cat,” “The Monkey’s Paw,” and “The Tell Tale Heart”. These literary elements each are not always used in horror, but when they are all added together in one story, the author can create a scary feeling in the reader. Many people misunderstand what horror really is and why we read stories and watch films about terror.
