mental health Eating Disorders Eating Disorders Introduction Several myths surround mental health and especially eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Such beliefs harm victims more than the condition itself. The misconceptions trigger stigmatization, as discussed below. People believe an eating disorder is self-imposed. Scientifically, a combination of environmental and biological factors causes an eating disorder. Body shaming and pressures of body shape in society are the results of this condition. Society judgment is unfair to the victims. Eating disorder is a medical illness, which affects the mental health of a person. Myths hold that the condition is a choice. On the contrary, scientists prove that biological factors greatly influence the situation. The reaction of the society, however, induces conditions such as anxiety, fear, depression, and chronic disorders. Patients, therefore, resort to self-isolation to avoid feeling odd or criticism. Since the current society has created extreme significance on food and body weight, most individuals unknowingly become victims. This pressure causes fear and guilt in individuals having the condition. Victims lose self-esteem and confidence in themselves. Myths that eating disorders are…

Not everyone is the same in what they believe in or what their morals are, and people have become respectful as to how we should do a certain thing. Our society is becoming more serious about ethical eating, which includes veganism, eating well-raised meat, or not eating family pets. Everyone has their own opinions on what is harming mother nature, whether it is about industrial farming harming the environment or pig feces spreading infections in the river. Everyone also has their own opinion on eating and it is a personal subject to some people. Everyone has free will, and with free will, people are able to choose a course of action closely linked to morals, praise, guilt, sin, and religion. According to Wikipedia, “Ethical eating or food ethics refers to the moral consequences of food choices, both those made by humans for themselves and those made for food animals.” What are some of the moral consequences of my food choices?

Myocardial infarction (MI) Myocardial infarction (MI), often known as heart attack, usually takes when there is a sudden blockage of the flow of blood to the heart. Mostly, the blockage is a result of the building up of fats, cholesterol, and other substances, which form a plaque in those arteries that feed the heart. Eventually, the plaque breaks away, leaving a blood clot that blocks the artery. The interrupted flow of blood to the heart can damage the heart muscle since there is no oxygen entering or leaving the heart. Causes A heart attack is commonly caused by Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). However, if the infected person seeks medical attention quickly, he or she might prevent damage to the heart muscle.

Condemned to Repeat Name: Institutional Affiliation: Condemned to Repeat: The Paradox of Humanitarian Action The book Condemned to Repeat? by Fiona Terry is about the problems which humanitarian organizations cause in areas that experience conflicts. It shows that, although these groups aim to serve those afflicted by conflicts, they prolong the wars in the process. They give a reason for those engaged in conflict not to find ways to put an end to the same. The role of these organizations is to save lives in the aftermath of natural and man-made disasters. Some of these humanitarian actions include the provision of shelter, water, food, and health services. She expounds on the views she holds regarding these groups in a bid to show the rest of the society the views which they would, otherwise, less expect, especially in light of how the agencies work. She acknowledges that these groups are essential in that they help to alleviate people in areas with various disasters…

There have been a few cases where the position of the woman id downplayed by the religion whereby the women do not have critical rights in that their freedoms are derived from the men.
