¶ … chronic and ongoing diseases and disorders have become an epidemic in the United States. It is also without a doubt that the treatment and mitigation of thos diseases and disorders is something that must be a primary focus of family practice. Even better, though, than properly treating the disorders when they emerge is helping to prevent them in the first place. After all, so many of the disorders and diseases in question are created by poor lifestyle choices. The diseases and disorders in question include diabetes, heart disease and many forms of cancer. While genetics and environmental factors have an effect on the emergence and aggravation of diseases and disorders, lifestyle choices are quite often the difference between quality of life and lack thereof.

Within the family practice realm, things are made more complicated when having to translate all of this to them as well. After all, if a child is showing signs of obesity and sedentary lifestyle, saying so to the parent, let alone the child himself or herself, can be rather dicey. Quite often, parents are not receptive to feedback about their own lifestyle choices and/or the same for their children. Even with that being the case, the paradigm clearly needs to change because such feedback should be offered when it is applicable because the quality of life and duration of life of everyone involved depends on it. Even with the need for honesty and attention to detail, this does not mean that doctors and other clinicians should be brash and without bedside manner. This proposal shall seek to find evidence-based clues that point to what works in terms of messaging and what does not work. Whether it be solutions that have already been crafted and used or whether it be solutions that are not currently employed, some combination of tactics and tips could and should be used so as to improve the outcomes for everyone (Perusse, Kailimang & Krell, 2009). The idea and question above is relevant because so much of what is created and perpetuated in terms of health is based on environmental exposure and the repetition of patterns. Only when those patterns are disrupted and replaced with new and better ones will the current trends and patterns be made obsolete. As noted before, addressing people that…

"Twenty-three million Americans experience workplace bullying within their work lifetimes" (cited in Seagriff, 2010, p. 575). With the economic challenges Americans are facing recently, tensions in the workplace are also on the rise, as employees increasingly worry that their jobs are in jeopardy. This fear over possibly losing their job means many employees will not risk reporting bullying to their employers. Interdependence conflicts, as mentioned, are another common type of
I would recommend the D.A.R.E. program due to the success we just mentioned as a result of the study done on the students at various stages in their education. And there are many other studies as well that indicate success (D.A.R.E., n.d.). That, to me, is the proof that the program works. Not having known a great deal about this program, I was impressed when I reviewed the various research studies
Both Nazism and Communism have been proved of being highly ineffective and dangerous for humanity. Some of the reasons which made it easier for the genocide that took place during the Holocaust to occur were Hitler's clever schemes and the favorable conditions in which Germans were searching for a scapegoat that they could blame for their deficiencies. The Khmer Rouge regime has ruled over Cambodia from 1975 to 1979 and it
Criminal Justice Prevention of Crime Victimization Whether or not there should be government sponsored crime victimization programs is a debate that has been going on for a long time. Those who are in favor of such programs think that people who are innocent victims of crimes should be aided to recover from what has happened to them. Those who oppose these programs feel that individuals should be responsible for making sure that

Just about everyone knows that fresh fruits and vegetables should play an important role in a healthy diet. However, studies indicate that fresh herbs can also play a crucial role in a healthy diet, and may help prevent certain
