Treatment for heroin Heroin use disorder has different treatment options, which include behavioral and pharmaceutical approaches. Pharmaceutical approaches involve the use of three types of drugs, namely agonists, which are responsible for the activation of opioid receptors, partial agonists, and antagonists, which change the effects of opioids. The behavioral approach includes the cognitive therapies and contingency systems where the patients are rewarded when they test negative for heroin tests. These treatment options work because they ease the withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, pain, and vomiting, which may affect the victim when they suddenly stop using the drug. They also work because they change the behavioral perceptions of a person and encourage healthy living. Pharmaceutical side effects include habit forming, tiredness, and some are highly addictive. Physical therapies may lower the self-esteem of the victim because they may feel they have failed the society ( Addiction center, 2020). Question 2: Trends for opioid medications Opium medications are highly active on the brain and can produce pleasure because they affect areas involved in reward. Oxytocin is a powerful painkiller that is prescribed…
The Tragic Hero The poetics essay explains Aristotle’s greatest tragedy that happened to be Oedipus, the king who fitted almost entirely to the standards of a hero as set by Aristotle. According to Aristotle, a perfect hero must be decent, able to err, given excessive punishment, hold a high position and come to a later recognition of truth enabling them to live like the other human beings. Oedipus is a tragic hero. Just like Oedipus, a tragic hero should be decent. Oedipus fits the acceptable moral standards of society. It is evident that the king does not make any decisions without getting advice from the oracle. Oedipus is not engaged in dirty acts that would otherwise tarnish his good name. After the death of his father, Oedipus is afraid of committing incest with his mother until he learns that indeed that was not her mother. The fear of committing incest shows how Oedipus was respectful of moral standards. Furthermore, Oedipus possessed a tragic flaw and was able to err like a tragic hero. According to Aristotle, a tragic hero…

Cherokee Paul McDonald’s Essay, “A view from the Bridge.” The reason why Cherokee Paul McDonald called his essay, “A View from the Bridge” is because, the stranger who was jogging, by the help of the blind child was able to see something different and strange. The essay narrates the determination of a young blind boy to catch fish using his reel from the top of the bridge. Cherokee Paul McDonald uses descriptive language to explain the fishing experience and excitement of the blind boy by catching the tarpon using his fishing reel and using the eyes of the stranger to “see” the beauty of the tarpon. The stranger was in his small world, but by with the assistance of the child, he was able to notice a new, strange and beautiful world at the same place he was passing daily. However, the stranger’s attitude shifts from being disappointed and annoyed after the child interrupts his concentration on jogging to being so humble after realizing the child were blind. The initial attitude of the stranger resulted from the fact that he…

Use of Opioids in the USA In the United States, more than 130 people die daily due to opioids overdose. The Opioids addiction and misuse, which involved heroin, prescribed pain relievers and some synthetic opioids such as fentanyl resulted in a severe national crisis that affected economic and social welfare and public health in the USA. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimation, a case of opioids misuse led to a financial burden that approximated more than $78.5 billion every year (Jones et al., 2018). The economic burden escalated due to addiction treatment, healthcare cost, the involvement of criminal justice and lost productivity. Also, 1,014 deaths were reported in Georgia in 2017 that involved opioids overdose. This was an approximate rate of 9.7 deaths per 100,000 individuals.

The use of synthetic opioids primarily fentanyl contributed to an increase in deaths cases in Georgia. This led to a rise in death cases of 419 in 2017 compared to 61 deaths reported…
The King of comics WHO: Jack Kirby was a regionalist born by a Jewish immigrant from Austria living in New York. Being born in an unstable background, he spends most of his time laboring in the publishing world. At his tender age, he was employed in different companies where he learned how to write and draw faster despite lacking the gift to speak confidently in selling and marketing his ideas to the publishers. Due to his struggle in graphics, he was able to gain more experience, and he ended up being the most influential comic creators of the 20th century. At the start, Johnny Carson insulted him after Jack Kirby created a comical book by the name “Battle for a three-dimensional world” that declared Jack Kirby, the king of the comic. WHAT: Jack Kirby’s graphics were more of freedom of society. In one of his graphics, he went ahead, hitting about how zealotry and can be destructive to the community. He believed that people should live in a world that is free from hatred, dislikes, and unreasonable beliefs. HOW: Jack…
Gothic Heroism The gothic heroine is a habit that is motivated by a spirit to investigate, which reveals a secret about the love story and her supernatural powers. Shirley Jackson wrote the story about the Haunting of the Hill house inspired by the story in the society. His story is still a reflection of the current society since people always do the same things as in the story. This paper will focus on The tale of Haunting of The Hill house and Eleanor’s gothic heroism. Eleanor is portrayed as the gothic heroine in the Haunting of Hill House because of her journey full of horror to find enjoyment for herself (Jackson, np). Eleanor stole the car they co-owned with her sister. Eleanor traveled several miles to the Hill House even though she had not gone by herself for any long-distance, which proves she was risking her life. Eleanor uncovered the truth about the house they had been living as the house had strange things taking place in there. Eleanor is portrayed as the gothic heroine. This because in the hill…
Being a Hero A person who places his life in danger at the expense of others, for example, individuals, communities, countries, or the entire world, is known as a champion. This act of heroism positively influences the concerned parties who are needy and improves the living standards of a community as a whole (Csikszentmihalyi et al., 249-261 ). As a result, the hero loses significant personal interests, for example, reputation, life, and freedom to ensure that other people maintain theirs and enjoy life. For one to become a hero, various factors exhibit their characteristics and act as motivation to other individuals who admire to be recognized as heroes. The hero, therefore, should be willing to accept the consequences of the action and sacrifice taken for others benefits Outcomes such as rejection, imprisonment, death, and physical injuries are among the examples of results of putting others’ life as a priority. Consequently, the champion should sacrifice voluntarily without expecting personal benefits, appreciation, or reward from the people of the community they take the risk on behalf. While sacrificing to save other people,…
how I obtained the knowledge of heroism over one semester For the one-pager of how I obtained the knowledge of heroism over one semester, I attained two quotes from talented people that explain how courage and the act of being selfless are valued traits in the interpretation of heroism. I chose a quote and the scene of Polyphemus vs. Odysseus from the Odyssey that shows courage in a valuable way. “Courage-no panic, no one hang back now!… I dragged the stake from the flames… straight into the monster’s eye…However, I was already plotting…” (223-224). Throughout the Odyssey, the main protagonist (Odysseus) tries to return homeward after fighting in a ten-year-old war, but as legends go, the path was not straight. He had to go through many obstacles and was tested not only physically but also mentally. To overcome these challenges, Odysseus inhibits a considerable amount of courage and uses it to challenge monsters and not to give up. To demonstrate this, I placed pictures of the sinister journey back on the border to show how difficult it is to be…
