A Revised First Source

  1. Copley, Margaret Freeman, and John B. Bodensteiner. “Chronic Sorrow in Families of Disabled Children.” Journal of Child Neurology, vol. 2, no. 1, 1987, pp. 67–70., doi:10.1177/088307388700200113.

Background: The author has collected and analyzed the psychological literature examining the Chronic Sorrow of parents who give birth to children with disabilities. She describes the ongoing grief—similar to the grief of parents whose child dies—caused by “the loss of an idealized normal child.” One parent reports that he and others suffer “months and years of anguish, roller coaster cycles of elation and depression as the parents try to deny the evidence before their eyes that their child is less than ordinary or normal.” 

The effect on normal siblings is not described in this source, but is easy to imagine from what is described. “Parents cannot effectively mourn the loss of the idealized child because of the unrelenting daily demands of the living disabled child,” which will reasonably deprive them of the psychic strength to properly nurture their “normal” children as they deserve. And that will likely cause resentment in the siblings. Parents who feel “helpless, hopeless, and anxious” all the time, and who react with “anger, resentment, and aggression” to the frustration of their predicament will not parent as well as they should.

How I Used It: I used this article to establish that parents of a handicapped child are stunted in their ability to properly nurture their other children. Then, since the parents are grieving, I sought and found articles that address how the DEATH of a sibling affects the parent-child relationship with the survivors. Those healthy siblings suffer a loss of affection from their parents along with the burden of being the surviving child, of whom much more is expected and demanded.

Roll, Jordan The World of Slave Trade

Background:  Slaves for the most part believed they were inferior and that their lives were meant to work for the white man.  Slaves either obey or die.  Africans were ripped away from their home country and sold off to whites so they could work until they died in this foreign land.

How I used it: This article helped connect similarities between African slaves and animals within SeaWorld parks.  They are ripped away from their natural habitat only to forced into working for their masters. Neither animals in SeaWorld parks or slaves have/had any hope of freedom.

 

What will the future bring? Prison mental health care in England 

Background: This article gives statistics of inmate’s mental health condition within England’s prison system. The estimate that the proportion of people with mental health problems within in prisons is 90%.

What it proves: This article helped me connect SeaWorld’s animals to inmates.  Both are confined to small areas for most of the day. This article takes a look at what being confined within concrete walls can do to the human brain.  Seeing such a high risk of mental health and suicide rates with human inmates, it allowed me to question what it must do to the animal prisoners at SeaWorld.

Kidnapping and Mental Health in Iraqi Refugees: The Role of Resilience

Essential Content of Article: This is a study conducted to observe the presence of Post traumatic stress disorder and major depression disorder with kidnapping victims.  The study conducts the experiment on Iraqi refugees, especially those who had been kidnapped.  Results indicated those diagnosed with PTSD were more likely to have been kidnapped.

How I Used It: This article gave me evidence to prove kidnapping indicates a higher likelihood to develop PSTD.  I explained PTSD and its symptoms.  Than I discussed the study.  This allowed me to describe how orcas were taken from the wild.  Orcas usually stay with their family their whole lives.  But when they’re kidnapped they suffer greatly at the expense of entertainment.

Breaking News: The last generation of orcas at SeaWorld 

Background: SeaWorld states they will not release the remaining orcas, because they would not be able to handle the elements and dangers of the wild.  They then state that the orcas will remain in the love and care of SeaWorld.

How I used It: By collecting a statement from SeaWorld that disagrees with my claim it helped me further prove my point. Even though SeaWorld hasn’t collected an orca from the wild in 40 years they are still reaping the benefits of those captured orcas.  They deny the request to free orcas into the wild because of the dangers of elements they aren’t accustomed too.

Jean-Michel Cousteau: SeaWorld should set captive orcas free

Background: An oceanographer believes orcas can be successively reintroduced into their wild habitat.   By using seaside sanctuaries captive orcas can be adjusted to hunting for food and learning the techniques of wild orcas.

How I used it:  This article, although it agrees with my opinion, does not echo my thesis.  I used the facts to dispute the SeaWorld claim that orcas cannot safely be released to the wild.  This scientifically proves that seaside sanctuaries could be the answer to releasing the orcas.

“The Debate- Pro-Captivity.” PBS, Public Broadcasting Service.

Background: This is a released statement by SeaWorld employees, McBain and Andrews.  Their opinions on the quality of life orcas and all captive animals is importance to the evidence against SeaWorld.  They use several facts to prove their claims.

How I Used it: I used this article in my rebuttal, it is important to recognize the opposing view point.  It is crucial to find stronger evidence against this pov, so I gather further information to discredit McBain and Andrews claims.

Powell, Dylan.  “The Free Willy Effect: Perspective and Time in the Anti-Captivity Movement.”Dylan Powell, 12 Mar. 2014.

Background: This article describes the Free Willy movie and its effect on its viewers.  After falling in love with Willy, viewers loved Keiko, the whale who played Willy.  People wanted to free Keiko from his life in captivity and release him into the wild; where he could be happy, healthy, and free.  Free Willy was the start to the major anti-captivity movements.  Free Willy is the reason people are still inspired to empty the tanks and release orcas into the wild.

How I Used It: I used this article in my causal argument.  I wanted to pinpoint a movement where the fuse was lit.  I believe it all started with Free Willy.  Keiko was freed and became an example. This article allowed me to dive into the debate over people then wanting to release SeaWorld’s orcas.

“Predator-Prey Relationships.” NECSI Evolution.

Background: This short explanation defines predator and prey and their relationship to one another.  Predator and prey rely on each other and move together in order to survive.  Predator must eat prey to survive, prey must avoid being eaten to survive; it is a dangerous game.

How I Used It: I used this article to categorize orcas as predators but only if they’re in the wild.  Once orcas are captured and stuck into tanks they become the prey. Orcas once at the top of the food chain become the ones struggling to survive. I use this article to show how unnatural it is to take a born predator and force it to become prey.

 Holm, Gretchen, and Erica Roth. “Toxoplasmosis.” Healthline, Healthline Media, 10 Feb. 2016.

Background: This article details what Toxoplasmosis is and what the effects are.  Toxoplasmosis is a parasite that infects your brain and causes sickness and mental health issues within its host.

How I used it: I used this article to show that alone orcas fall prey to SeaWorld, SeaWorld does not become predator though.  SeaWorld becomes a parasite because it does not survive by killing its prey but rather they leech off the nutrients and thriving environment the prey provides. I use this article to categorize SeaWorld and Toxoplasmosis as deadly parasites that infect the brains of their hosts.

Schelling, Ameena. “SeaWorld Orcas Have ‘Alarming’ Number Of Injuries, Vet Reveals.” The Dodo, The Dodo, 11 Aug. 2015.

Background: This article describes the condition of orcas health at San Diego SeaWorld.  The biggest concern was the condition of the orca’s teeth. Orcas in captivity chew on their metal gates and cause harm to their teeth.  In order to fix the teeth the orcas has to get root canal, followed by daily cleanings. This dental trauma is not seen in the wild and is found most commonly in captive orcas.

How I Used It: I used this article to show that SeaWorld survives off the orcas but meanwhile the orca’s health is suffering.  Parasites harm their hosts because they take away from their hosts in order to feed themselves.  Seaworld rips orcas away from the wild where they thrive just so they can make money.  This article helped me finalize the cause and effect between SeaWorld’s and the orcas.

Background-this article discusses of gun laws and the laws implemented in the United States. Also discussed   they stated that here is an emerging consensus that certain gun laws reduce gun violence, particularly those requiring all gun buyers to first pass background checks, and those barring domestic abusers from possessing guns.

How I Used It- That the mental health needs to be better assessed as many more people are now buying guns. Health is very important and I feel as though more attention needs to be given as far as getting those the care they need.

Next  our gun control comes from our historical background as guns stemmed from the wars were involved in.Proponents of more gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for militias; that gun violence would be reduced; that gun restrictions have always existed

How I Used It – Stating that guns laws need to be more complex and just.  Simply to me the background checks aren’t enough and more needs to be done so everyone can feel safe.

Background- The more guns there are the more deaths we will result from. The fewer guns we have then the least deaths that we will have.

What I Used- If we eliminate the use of guns ,and only have them in the possession of staff and faculty that jobs revolve around them then the world could and would be a safer environment for others to live in.

Background- under our current system dangerous people have it easy as to accessing fire arms. With loopholes and easy access we have to do better at administering fire arms and just ban them all together! Also gun providers have been doing things under different rules with no background checks available online.

What I Used – More background checks need to be given out ,also the quality of the checks need to be adequate and efficient enough for people not to be able to slip through the system.

10.“Bulk Gun Purchases.” Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, 15 Oct. 2017, lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/crime-guns/bulk-gun-purchases/.

Background Checks- Should it be legal for people to be able to have multiple firearms ? Should there be a limit? Limiting the use of guns in bulk will reduce gun violence

What I Used? Stating that it should be a law restricting people on getting guns in bulk  which reduce the levels of gun trafficking which then converts to people illegally performing and using them.

Background: This article discusses how boys fates not only belong in the hands of their father’s, but their mother’s too! It also speaks upon gender equity and how young black females have higher academic acheivements than young black males.

How I Used It: This article helped me come to realization that mother’s are indeed important factor when it comes to raising the youth. Black mothers lead 53 percent of their families. The study highlights that no policy is actually effective unless it comes to grips with our present day circumstances, which is including young girls of color in the movement.

For example, the homicide rate in Compton dropped by 64%, it sparked employment for 10,000 young men and empowered incarcerated men to pursue postsecondary education and workforce training. I will use this article to illustrate that, yes, the MBK movement is in fact good, never said it was bad.

Annotated Bibliography – rainbow987

Resource 1:

Cooper, Amy, et al. “Mental Illness Stigma and Care Seeking .” Ovid.

Background: This article discusses the correlation between a negative attitude/stigma towards mental illness and the treatment adherence of patients.

How I Used It:I used the information in this article to gather information on how the negative stigmas regarding mental illness affect the likelihood that a person will receive treatment. I applied this information to my mental illness topic, which is major depressive disorder.

Resource 2:

Corrigan, P. W., Kleinlein, P. (Ed.). (2005). On the stigma of mental illness: Practical strategies for       research and social change.“

Background:This article discusses the societal effects of mental illness stigma and how they affect life for a person struggling with a disorder.

How I Used It:I used this article as a reference as to how negative stigmas affect those with a mental illness on an everyday basis. Examples of how the stigmas could affect daily life include when being hired for a job or rented a house.

Resource 3:

Hendrick, Victoria, et al. “Hormonal Changes in the Postpartum and Implications for Postpartum Depression.” Psychosomatics, Elsevier, 29 Apr. 2011, 

Background:Biological factors could lead to the possible development of postpartum depression in a woman. Preexisting factors such as genetic history or a predisposition to depression could lead to postpartum upon delivery of a child. However, in addition to this, there are dramatic hormonal fluctuations when a woman gives birth that could have a significant effect on mood, which could also cause postpartum depression.

How I Used It:The DSM-IV describes an episode of postpartum depression as the same category as a major depressive episode. Therefore, the information in this article could be used for my article, as most of the information regarding symptoms of postpartum depression could be applied for my research on major depression. This article provided concrete, quantitative evidence that  depression is not entirely “in a person’s head,” as many believe. Therefore, if there is biological evidence supporting the cause of depression, a person cannot be blamed for inducing it. This argument supported my thesis well.

Resource 4:

Henriques, Gregg. “Anxiety and Depression Are Symptoms, Not Diseases.” Psychology Today, Sussex Publishers, 26 Mar. 2016, 

Background:The author of this article argues that depression and anxiety are not illnesses in themselves. He emphasizes that they are symptoms of other illnesses. He also says that they hint to an underlying issue.

How I Used It:I used this article for my rebuttal argument. The author’s opinion that depression is not an issue enough to be considered its own illness adds to my argument that people disregard depression as a disorder.

Resource 5:

Hocking, Barbara. “Reducing Mental Illness Stigma and Discrimination — Everybody’s Business.” MJA.

Background:This article discusses the distress that an individual can feel due to an overwhelming stigma against mental illness. In addition, it talks about how the community can work to overcome this issue.

How I Used It:I used this article to learn about what causes the negative stigma regarding mental illness. Resources such as the media and other factors all play a part in how people respond to mental illness. I used this information to further my argument.

Resource 6:

“More than Half of US Adults with Mental Illness Don’t Get Needed Care.” Fox News, FOX News Network,

Background: This article provides the statistics regarding the number of adults with mental illness that do not receive treatment. It chronicles the numerous reasons why an adult with mental illness would opt out of available treatments.

How I Used It:I used this article to discuss the reasons why people with mental illness choose to not receive treatment. Among others, one of the primary reasons that a person does not seek treatment is due to a fear of being judged by others. This idea is explained in detail in this article. This argument serves well to my thesis, as a the negative stigma surrounding mental illness inhibits the well being of someone suffering from a mental illness.

Resource 7:

O’Hara, Michael W. “Postpartum Depression and Child Development.” Google Books, 

Background:This article provides general information about postpartum depression, including what the disorder is and symptoms that come with the illness. It provides the reader with information about a variety of different aspects of the disorder and how it can affect women initially and over time.

How I Used It: Postpartum depression is a type of depression that occurs following childbirth. The symptoms of postpartum depression are mostly all the same as major depressive disorder. Therefore, I could apply the information from this article to my research paper. I think that it is important to provide my reader with a general understanding of what depression is and the symptoms of it. It is not smart to assume that the reader has a background on the topic. Therefore, this article helped me to further my knowledge about the disorder and everything that it entails so that I could  provide detailed and accurate information to the reader.

Resource 8: 

Pinto-Foltz, Melissa D., and M. Cynthia Logsdon. “Stigma Towards Mental Illness: A Concept Analysis Using Postpartum Depression as an Exemplar.” Taylor & Francis, 

Background:Stigmas are a large issue related to mental illness. The impact that negative stigmas have on a person is sometimes severe. People often do not seek treatment for serious health concerns, such as postpartum depression, due to the fear of being judged or accused of having self-inflicted their issues. The author discloses statistics and historical background related to the negative stigmas regarding mental illness and how people are affected by them.

How I Used It:This article assisted me by providing statistical research that has been conducted regarding the social effects of stigmas against mental illness. Although the example illness that is used in this article is postpartum depression, I applied the information to the stigmas against major depressive disorder.

Resource 9:

Pratt, Laura A., and Debra J. Brody. “National Center for Health Statistics.” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 19 Jan. 2010.

Background:This article provides statistical evidence as to the significance of depression in the population.

How I Used It: I used the information in this article to emphasize the prevalence of major depressive disorder in the population. Due to the high prevalence, my argument that negative stigmas are unjust is emphasized.

 

Resource 10:

Susman, David. “8 Reasons Why People Don’t Get Treated For Mental Illness .”

Background: This article provides a list and explanation about why people do not seek treatment for mental illness. In addition, it addresses the issue and proposes things that have been done to try to better the problem.

How I Used It:I used this article to give me more insight into more reasons why people do not seek treatment for mental illness, as there are many. In addition, I found the additional information helpful with how the government is trying to better health care availability for those with mental illnesses such as depression.
