1. Hypothesis- Alzheimer’s Disease is a growing concern that still does not have a cause. I believe that Alzheimer’s is caused from age. Now that the average lifespan has increased, we have never got to the point of age where the brain had the chance to develop Alzheimer’s Disease due to the short life span.

Life is a beautiful gift. Too often may we take this gift for granted. As individuals, each and every one of us work extremely hard to earn a reputable reputation which we are reflected upon. Throughout life, one of the biggest assets to retain is undeniably our health. Like most dimensions of health, an individual can improve muscular strength, cardiovascular health, physical strength and mental strength. Of these dimensions, the mental state of the brain and mind takes the highest precedence. All throughout life, we each strive to better and advance our mental state. From the first year of school, teachers focus to advance our ability to utilize our minds, to become more mentally focused and prepared. Throughout grade school, we prepare for college so that we may have full potential to earn a degree. While we attend undergraduate and graduate school at a college or university, we prepare for what the rest of our young lives will hold. Our degree is the key to success, the key to open the door of opportunity. The amount of countless hours of work that we have sacrificed will forever to put into excellent use in our future. As we continue to better our lives, we have the upmost control in our mental health. As we may run into obstacles involving health, we have hope for that technology will always be there in times of need to heal and better us. For what ever curveball life throws at us, we have to ability to fight it off and hit a home run. As great that technology may seem, there is one crucial dark disease that we cannot control, and it happens to be a disease that technology cannot even cure. Through the 110 years of research since the discovery, Alzheimer’s Disease has had a tremendous impact on the lives of many individuals. As technology continues to advance, a cure to Alzheimer’s Disease has yet to be discovered. Through the research of Alzheimer’s Disease, one position is prevalent; advanced research on Alzheimer’s Disease must be done. Alzheimer’s Disease accounts for 60% to 70% of cases of dementia. Researchers must successfully develop a safe, effective treatment and cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.

2 Definition/ Classification

I will need to go into detail on what Alzheimer’s Disease is and where it categorizes as a disease. I will also need to explain the mental state of mind this disease possesses. What is the history of Alzheimer’s Disease?

Cause/ Effect Argument

How does Alzheimer’s Disease form? What must happen to the brain in order to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s? How does the disease affect an individual, and does it affect everyone differently? If so, how?

Rebuttal Argument

Is it ethical to strive to keep a patient alive who is severely affected with Alzheimer’s Disease and very old in age? Alzheimer’s rapidly progresses in severity. By the time a patient reaches the point where they can no longer care for their self, should they have to continue to suffer?

3. Current State

I am confident in where my Research is currently leading me. I have found a substantial amount of information which can create many different arguments, examples, facts and statistics and successfully support my thesis. I believe that once I piece my paper together, I will have a successful paper which will meet every requirement needed to defend my position.

 

Polio Notes- brobeanfarms

-More than 100 children are exposed to Polio and they can spread it, which a great solution is more and more adults and children should take vaccination.

-The disease targets primarily children younger than 5 and can lead to partial and sometimes fatal paralysis.

-Polio requires more vaccination of children between the ages of 0-5 due to their weak immune system.

-There is a more expensive version of the vaccination used in the United States that has zero chance of causing polio. It is in the dollars rather than cents.

-The vaccine is a liquid that is placed of a child’s tongue. The vaccine will go into the body and attack bad bacteria. Taking it about three times will make it 100% effective.

-Nigeria is one of the few places in the world where polio exists.

-If individuals received vaccines regularly, these diseases would not spread as fast. There needs to more effort for this to not happen again.

1a. “Our saws, besides being the highest quality and best featured saws in their market segments, feature the ability to detect contact with skin and stop the blade in less than 5 milliseconds.”
1b. The manufacturer is claiming that their saw is without an unreasonable doubt the best saw on the market, and now with the feature to detect contact on the skin, it has revolutionized this field.
1c. The claim is opinionated along with factual. The option is that their saws are the best on the market and the fact is the technology to detect contact on the skin.
1d. Due to the opinion, the manufacturer is obviously going to promote their saw. The technology however is factual and very beneficial. The manufacturer wants everyone who owns power saws to own this new technology as well.

2a. “To hold Bosch liable for not making a bad business decision that would cost them lots of money seems a bit unreasonable if not ludicrous.”
2b. Customers believe that manufacturers would lose a great amount of money for buying this technology. The amount of money spent would not be worth it when it comes to sales.
2c. This type of claim is 100% opinionated and could be debated as factual as well. The opinion is the loss of money but that could also be factual because the technology is expensive and the manufacturer already profits greatly on sales.
2d. This claim is accurate based on the opinion and fact because The technology is very costly.

4a. “Approximately 40,000 Americans go to hospital emergency rooms every year with injuries sustained while operating table saws. About 4,000 of those injuries – or more than 10 every day – are amputations.”
4b. The quote from the injured plaintiff is true and factual. It goes in depth on how many individuals are injured due to table saws and implies that changes must be made.
4c. This is a factual claim because it gives statistics on the injuries caused by table saws annually.
4d. These claims are accurate, due to the statistics. It gives a visual on the problem with table saws and the injuries that it causes. Based on these statistics, injuries would most likely greatly decrease with the implication of the new technology.

E03: Critical Reading- brobeanfarms

“You can hear the cat padding around. The air conditioner whooshes, a clock ticks.”

Vivid descriptions is what helps visualize a scene and bring everything to life for the reader. Visualization is key. Painting a visualized picture from words makes the setting and greatly helps the reader.

“Her nose starts running she’s so pissed, and there she is standing in a CVS, snotty and deaf with rage, like some kind of maniac, because a tiny elderly woman needs an extra minute to pay for her dish soap or whatever.”

The attitude of the writer helps describe the feeling and attitude of the tiny elderly women. Emotion helps set the attitude of the setting, and gives the reader emotion as well.

“As with most psychiatric diagnoses, there are no measurable objective biological characteristics to identify it. Doctors have to go on hunches and symptomology rather than definitive evidence.”

The reason’s for PTSD is pretty clear. Doctor’s can understand how it may have came about from past experiences that may be traumatizing, but the problem is what exactly affects the brain? Is this a real disease? Or is it all mentally on the replaying of the past traumatizing experiences over and over again? Doctor’s therefore are left to blindly diagnose based on symptoms rather than definitive evidence.

“Some hypotheses for why PTSD only tortures some trauma victims blame it on unhappily coded proteins, or a misbehaving amygdala. Family history, or maybe previous trauma.”

Why PTSD tortures some trauma victims is hard to pin point. Doctor’s obviously know why but they don’t know why it affects some and not others. The way the brain works is mysterious which leads to theories that is could be coded proteins or amygdala because the is not evidence backing PTSD up.

Blind Summary:

In today’s society, radiology is a rapidly growing field of study with a high demand. The problem, however, is directed towards radiologists who study mammograms. The number of false readings is alarming high, leaving numerous women across the nation very concerned when it comes to screenings. Radiologists are expected to be elite in their field of study and they are currently not meeting the publics expectations in standards. This is a nation wide problem and fear in need of a resolution.

Ever wonder what the biggest unsolved mystery is to this date? It is not the moon, or outer space, and it is certainly not the ocean. This biggest mystery is the human brain. How does our brain function, what allows it to retain memory, or even control us? Ever since the existence of the human race, the human brain has been heavily studied, but one question still remains. What exactly is Alzheimer’s Disease? It is a mysterious dteerrioating disease of the brain. To further explain what this disease is, we will look into what causes it, how it progresses, and what can be done to treat, prevent or even cure it.

What is the physical make up and compound of our brain? The way it functions is mysterious, and the way it progresses is astonishing. Through the study of the brain, there is still one aspect of it that has gone unanswered; what exactly is the deteriorating brain disease Alzheimer’s? Numerous studies have been conducted of such a disease, but everything about it remains skeptical. Through these studies, we will learn what part of the brain is affected, who is at a higher risk of developing this disease, and how does this disease progress over time.

E02: Cows and Chips

The beach is often a popular vacation destination on the East Coast. One of the many popular activities for children on the beach is building sand castles, but how long do those sand castles last? The cool, calm waves creep up and wash away each and every sand castle before we know it. They come and go just as quick as money does. We slave to build a sand castle that is something worth while just to see it dissappear shortly after and we are left to build it again. This is the same way with money. We work extremely hard to earn something that we instantly spend and we are left to continue working to earn more money. This in the eyes of many is the harsh concept of money. Many questions that arise is what is money and the concept behind it? This is a major question for everyone around the world. As the famous “Stone Money” story stated, money is an item worth value for trade. In order to further explain the concept of money, we will look into how the US currency differs from the Yap’s and the public’s faith in the value of currency.

Visual Rewrite

0:00-0:09: A young girl, lonely, scared and afraid appears into the picture on the cold dark side of the street. She hesitantly glances left and right looking for something while standing at a bus stop. Perhaps she is looking or waiting for the bus or even a car to pick her up. She is alone, maybe she is waiting for a way home after school, or an after school activity such as a sport or band or the school play. Either way, she is awaiting for something and she has been waiting for much longer than she had anticipated.

0:09-0:23: The young girl nervously watches each car pass her by as she hesitantly continues to look left and right. She may feel alone, watching hopelessly as each car turns their head blindly and quickly passes by her. Helplessly watching, she sees her only signs of hope pass her by again, and again, and again.

0:23-0:36: The young girl continuously pulls her hair out of the way of her face in frustration. Her answers to her problems are not available. She realizes that she has no hope, and will not find her answer. A little girl all alone of the side of the street should turn heads, but instead the little girl is only ignored. What did she do to deserve the ignorance of each passing bystander? She is receiving neglect from everyone and everything.

0:36-0:45: All alone, she looks extremely upset as her eyes begin to tear up. She looks left, right, hoping for an answer and then looks up in prayer as if she has nothing else. At this point, she feels as if there is no hope, as if she is abandoned. Helplessly she leaves her post in the search for

0:45-1:03: She is very hesitant about her decision and suddenly stops in her tracks and turns back around facing the bus stop. She cannot decide what to do, questioning her decision to walk away from it all or to stay. She would be walking away from any hope she may have of finding her answer. Her answer could be multiple things, but whatever she is searching for she decides to wait a little longer.

1:03-1:23: She continues to pace back and forth, frustrated. She is no longer concerned about her hair in her face, and begins to cry in maybe fear or anger or even sadness. The lonely wait is too much for her to bare. Was she abandoned? Perhaps. Just when it seems all hope was lost, the screen cuts black.

1:23-1:32: The young girl opens her eyes, sitting down exactly where she had previously been before. On her left there is a young boy with orange hair next to her as he greets her. The emotions that had run through her had vanished. Hope has arrived and the loneliness subsided.

1:32-1:45: After all of the young girl’s frustration, the young boy seemed to cure any frustration, or anger that the young girl had. When she was alone and at her lowest, all she needed was someone there for her. Her answer to every problem was the young boy. Some one to be there when she was at her lowest. Mental illness’ often lead individuals to feel lonely as if no one can truly understand what that individual is experiencing. The little girl’s answer was simply someone to talk to.

“We All Have Problems”

A05 Proposal +5

For my research essay, I will be examining the flaw in health care regarding the brain disease Alzheimer’s, how this disease can be cured and prevented, and how this inevitable disease forms. Over the past years, numbers have continued to rise in the amount of individuals who have developed Alzheimer’s disease, but one controversial question that still remains is how? Alzheimer’s is a mysterious brain disease that tends to form in progression with age, affecting many aspects of the brain.

The amount of individuals who are diagnosed with this disease have continued to rise and will do so until action is taken place regarding prevention and cure. Within the research of Alzheimer’s, I will look into what causes of the disease, what effects Alzheimer’s has on the brain and body, and what can be done to monitor, prevent and cure Alzheimers.
