Describe one of the special issues of children and adolescents who are exposed to critical incident stress. What is one of the developmental issues involved when considering an intervention?

Where, they are dealing with a series of events that have occurred in their lives. A few of the most notable include: denial, anger, rage, shock, confusion, sadness, terror, humiliation, shame and depression. This is problematic, because these kinds of situations can have an impact upon how effectively the child or adolescent is able to develop. As, they could become withdrawn from others and will often engage in activities that are considered to be antisocial including: acting out, substance abuse along with the inability to concentrate on different tasks.

When a person has been "exposed" to a critical incident, either briefly or long-term, this can have a considerable impact on their global functioning. Flashbacks and mental images of traumatic events as well as startle responses may also be observed. It is important to consider that these thought processes and reactions are quite normal with crisis survivors as well as with those assisting them. These can be masked within other problems such as excessive alcohol, tobacco and/or drug use. As a result, interpersonal relations can become strained, as this can lead to serious depressive illnesses or neurotic anxiety as well." (Davis, 1998) These different elements are important, because they are showing how the person's exposure to critical incident stress can have a dramatic impact on: children and the way they are looking at what is happening.

They explain the human ecosystem to include three fundamental organizing conceptions: the human environed unit (HEU); the natural environment (NE); the human constructed environment (HCE). The following diagram portrays "The Human Ecosystem": Bubolz, Eicher, and Sontag (1979, p. 29) The human environed unit (HEU) displayed in the center is located in a specific space in time and can be a
" To a certain extent, Mexican migration to the U.S. also tends to ease the pressure brought about by significant numbers of unemployed individuals. It is however important to note that although most immigrants in this case are unskilled, some highly skilled immigrants also find their way into the United States. This effectively 'robs' Mexico of a talented workforce in what is often referred to as 'brain drain.' The Mexican
A further assessment was done on civilian displacement and the number of deaths was estimated on excess of the expected. Data Analysis The data was analyzed using the Quasi-Poisson models. This method was used to evaluate the mortality rates with an emphasis on the place of research and its timing. The number of displaced people in the survey was a variable to explain the trends. The projected mortality rates for future

Twelve ESL learners who participated subsequently found that participating in text-based online chat rooms promoted a noticeable difference in their face-to-face conversations, particularly in noticing their own linguistic mistakes. Psychologists stress little if any learning occurs without attention. "Text-based online chat, a particular form of synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) involving written oral-like conversation, has the great potential of increasing noticing for two reasons: 1. Compared to face-to-face conversations, CMC allows conversations
