.... at SPJC stated, “I hate when people smoke near me, it makes me sick!”. Just about every nonsmoker I asked had close to the same opinion. Of the 24 students I interviewed 5 were smokers. Why should so many of us have to suffer for a small percent of students to reap the benefits? The administrators know the effects of smoking, I guess they’re just not concerned about the well being of their students. Second hand smoke should not be a problem on our campus. SPJC administrators should address the problem, and provide the means to alleviate it. One solution, that will accommodate both smokers and nonsmokers, is to establis .....

.... for us next? What we can wear? What we can read and what we can say? Possibly even how we can act? This is not the American way! In fact, it is unconstitutional. We must be aware of this lack of freedom and see to it that women receive it. Sadly, there are many people who can not afford to support a child. There are people who hate themselves and are incapable of loving another. As I see it, it is fortunate, that some women may realize that they are not fit to and can not care for a youngster. However, an anti-abortion law may not give them any other choice. A mother willing to give up her offspring, is likely to r .....

.... procedure that is historically based on religious and cultural doctrine and not of medical necessity. Possible complications of circumcision include hemorrhage, infection, surgical trauma, and pain. (Gelbaum, 1992) Unless absolute medical indications exist, why should male infants be exposed to these risks? In essence, our society has perpetuated an unnecessary surgical procedure that permanently alters a normal, healthy body part. This paper examines the literature surrounding the debate over circumcision, delineates the flaws that exist in the research, and discusses the nurse's role in the circumcision debate. Review of L .....

.... have little control. In its most general form, counseling provides a context for such change. How to evplain any change, how to assess its direction or to predictg irs effects, and how to understand the meaning any change may have for the client are questions the effective counselor must ask. The counselor relies on the concepts of human development to assess the client's level of functioning and uses different developmental theories as lenses through which to view the client. The professional counselor appreciates that people are different but users knowledge of developmental theory to understand these differences wi .....

.... assume their roles and discuss it on a regular basis and not have suicide be a word that is whispered but never spoken. The myth that those who talk about suicide will never actually go through with it is completely false. Most people who do kill themselves give some sort of clue before doing so. It may be something very subtle such as “I wonder where my father keeps his gun” or they might just come right out and say “ I would rather die then go on living this way.” What ever it is everyone should know how to recognize when someone is feeling suicidal and get help to them right away. Suicide can be prevented if not .....

.... read which could make one more wise, but who can really learn that early in the morning? Who exactly is going to become wealthier as a result of going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier? I think that the average business person would become less wealthy as a result of going to bed and getting up early. It would be pointless for a company to open before the average consumer is even awake and it would be foolish to miss out on business due to closing early so one's employees could get to bed early. I suppose that if one were a cat burglar one might become more wealthy by conducting business while most of the world is stil .....

This means that in the U.S. there are at least seventy-two million other people dealing with the disease somehow. Many people believe that alcoholics are people that are the skid row winos and bums. This is a common misconception, actually ninety-four percent of alc .....

.... change. There are usually pauses in breathing and changes in heart rate. The amount of brain activity is more heightened than that of a regular dream, but less than when waking. It has also been observed that a person having a lucid dream shows more brain activity than a waking person under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD (Lucid Dreaming 364). A lucid dream is usually provoked by an earlier day of heightened stress or anxiety (Lucid Dreaming 364). They usually occur at the end of an eight or nine hour sleep (Horgan 50).

.... developing new drugs to treat diseases and bacteria. Over the years, numerous thousands of antibiotic material have been found in nature as well as produced chemically but, there are few that are safe and useful. However the ones that are safe and effective have saved many lives and have helped extend life expectancy. Right now, there is more than 70 different kinds of antibiotics in use. Most antibiotics are used to treat infections, some for fungi and protozoa, but antibiotics are not usually effective against viruses. So they have developed other methods such as vaccines against viruses. Antibiotics work by one of three way .....
