Opinion Paragraph
I chose this paragraph because it was very odd to me. What interests me is that it tells me the importance of using medicine properly. After reading the article, it made me feel mad about people selling products for children that may damage
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the number of deaths by overdoes of opioid drugs (around 18,000) is over triple the amount of overdoses of cocaine (around 5,000). The article “OxyContin Is Not for Kids” states that in Vermont, children as young as the age of 11 are now able to be prescribed with opioid pain killers such as oxycontin. The article goes on to explain the possible risks that are involved with giving children this age the medication.
You drink it. Your breathe it.” (Sacco & Hedges, pg 148). Now how do they affect you? The author then goes on to talk about the many inhalers needed in an elementary school, the reader is able to draw conclusions based upon what inhalers are needed for.
and it’s important because he needs to understand other people’s pain and to talk about what he learned about them. On page 79, “Beginning this summer and continuing through the school
As the camera zoomed in onto a sad little girl after the loss of her sister, I realized that the documentary, Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business would be a difficult film to watch. Movies that depict dying children are often full of drama and heartache and this was no different. I was appalled at the treatment of these poor innocent patients and their families, and the movie had just begun. As I continued to watch the movie; however, my opinion changed from outrage that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would be so corrupt and unjust, to realizing that maybe the movie was playing with my emotions. Although effective in using good rhetorical strategies, the viewer must separate emotion and drama from lack of evidence and
A recent study by the National Health Performance Authority has confirmed that vaccination rates in Mullumbimby are lower than that of South Sudan. It has been revealed that the Anti-Vax hotspot has a vaccination rate of just 52%, making it the lowest vaccinated area in Australia. Mullumbimby is a hot spot for “Conscious Objectors” who follow “Anthroposophy” spiritual teaching and a holistical way of life said Mullumbimby day care educator Karoline Carnefors. There is beliefs and concerns that vaccinations are doing more harm than good.
My essay will be about the two topics I have selected Immunizations Saves Lives by Stanford T. Shulman M.D. and Measles – United Sates January 1 – May 23, 2014taken from the American Journal of Transplantation. In my first article Immunization Saves Lives the author first talks about differences on how in America measles have been wiped out by vaccinations, but has reappeared due to people on purpose not vaccinating their children for reason that seem ridiculous. Dr. Shulman goes on the write about how in the past people men and woman have gone to great details to keep their children healthy. It touched my heart as a parent on how the “vaccinations rates in Tanzania are higher than those in the United States” yet Michael Gerson a columnist
The topic sentence was unrelated to me because it talked about Maurice Jones-Drew who recently retired from football at age 29 (Gallagher). He had been playing football since he was 5 years old, that is way too young because according to the article 5 year olds with a weight class of 35 to 79 pounds play against older kids with much more weight, I can see how that leads to CTE. It also talks about how America prides itself on toughness that too me is the problem maybe we should start teaching boys to be a little more of what society calls “feminine” and we should stop perpetuating gender roles on small children. It then talked about Debra Pyka a woman whose son committed suicide at the age of 25 (Gallagher) because of CTE. My thing is that if they saw the signs of CTE why didn’t she try to get help for her son.
This article is very nice because it can give awareness to
This exaggeration was done to draw attention to how ridiculous government safety requirements for kids can be. For example, “Defuse the ticking time-bomb known as your child 's imagination before it explodes and destroys her completely” (para. 2) is an exaggeration to demonstrate how many parents believe they must prevent their kid from being creative since they think it is so harmful. A child being imaginative should not be compared to a time bomb, which actually inflicts wounds and destruction. The preventative measures to inhibit a child’s imagination are also overdramatic. For instance, “To truly protect your children, you must go to great lengths to completely eliminate their curiosity, crush their spirit of amazement, and eradicate their childlike glee” (para. 11) overemphasizes the idea of parents who raise their child too strictly and expect their child to behave like an
Firstly, the author uses hyperbole in the ‘Guys Like a Really Pointless Challenge’ section. After narrating a story, Barry states that there was “twenty-three Advil in (his) bloodstream”. Realistically, a dose of that amount could be counter-productive in his healing process, and thus the use of this exaggeration creates humour in over-emphasizing the severity of his pain. Secondly, the author uses personification in the ‘Guys like Neat Stuff’ section.
I realized that I became more focused on the patient’s rather than my own personal gain. Then, one day, it hit me. As we were reading about Henrietta’s treatment as a patient, I was infuriated at the fact that these doctors and scientists weren’t giving Henrietta and her family the treatment, recognition, money, health-care, and equality they deserved. Even though I couldn’t imagine the hardship their family went through, I put my foot into the patient’s shoes. Reading about the pain and poverty Henrietta’s family went through, after her death, I kept thinking that if the doctors treated Henrietta equally, there could’ve been a chance of her survival.
The author analyzes those ingredients by stating how they’re gratuitous to put in their food to make it sound that Chick Fil A lied about their motto of giving out healthy food. It was portrayed that the intended audience were the families who eat at Chick Fil when he stated,“Monosodium glutamate is an excitotoxin that affects brain function. While I’m not ready to claim that MSG and ADHD are strongly linked, I have no doubt that screwing with children’s neurotransmitters isn’t a good thing.” (Heary) The author tries to make Monosodium glutamate (MSG) look dangerous for children’s health to the parents when it is actually a food enhancer used in many foods.
My father taught me that medicine that cares, cures, helps, and heals is of greater import than medicine that simply makes a diagnosis and prescribes a medication. I hope that one day, I will become a provider of the type of medicine that treats not only the body, but also the mind and
The idea of asking questions along his article keeps the audience engaged into reading more. Apart from capturing the audience to keep reading he also misleads his point from the shifting of two different concepts and agreement to one. From the begging of his article he says, "Whatever happened to personal responsibility?". Referring to kids suing McDonalds for making them fat. As he reaches the end of the article he says," Fast food companies are marketing to children a product health Hazards and no warning labels.
Willow bark can be used for headaches, muscle pain, menstrual cramps, arthritis, fever, the common cold, flu, and weight loss. However, because of the danger of developing Reye syndrome (a serious illness associated with children using aspirin), children under the age of 16 should not take willow bark. People who are allergic or sensitive to salicylates should not use willow bark, and some researchers suggest that people with asthma, diabetes, gout, gastritis, hemophilia, and stomach ulcers should also avoid willow bark. There are also mild side effects that may occur when using willow bark.
