Rhetorical Analysis: The David Cornfield Melanoma

The UK Cancer Research Center recommends getting enough safe Sun exposure daily for 15 minutes between 10 a.m and 2 p.m. A person with a dark skin tone may require 90 minutes, while the elderly require about 30 minutes (Vitamin D, 2015). B. Until now , Society has been misled by the beauty industry that the Sun is dangerous and that it causes Skin Cancer. They have recommended that a person should instead resort to supplements as well as Vitamin D fortified foods . Clearly , the Sun isn’t dangerous , overexposure to it is.

SunWise is a program that teaches kids and their caregivers about the risks of ultraviolet radiation and prevention tips to protect them against UV exposure, so that we might be able to prevent skin cancer as it continues to become more and more prevalent. EPA stated that in this year alone, it is expected that there will be 5 million people treated for skin cancer and with this program it is expected that they will prevent 11,000 cases and 50 premature deaths. I absolutely think this would be a good program to implement into our schools. Tanning has become so popular among younger teens, especially in girls, and they don’t understand how bad it really can be for not just their skin, but their health as well. According to WebMD, “The use of the tanning beds before age 35 boosted the risk of melanoma by 75%.”

UV radiation is a form of energy from natural and artificial sunlight. Excess amounts can cause damage to DNA in the skin. Although some argue tanning is good for you because it helps form a “base tan” and the UV exposure time is controlled. The truth is, each time you lay in a tanning bed, it increases the risk of developing skin cancer

A very interesting skin condition is steatocystoma multiplex. Steatocystoma multiplex is a disorder that forms multiple non-cancerous cysts on the skin. These cysts start growing in the sebaceous glands. The sebaceous glands make an oily substance called sebum.

But, as Zinsser explains, America’s society doesn’t allow you to fail. This is the reason why “the young are growing up old.” (Zinsser 2). During his career, Zinsser realized that they were “four kinds of pressure working on college students” (Zinsser 2). He recognizes economic, parental, peer and self-induced pressure as the four kinds of pressure, making there be “no villains, only victims.”

The times when humans are most vulnerable to microwave radiation is during childhood and puberty since their bodies are still developing. Keeping young ones away from your microwave at all times would issue the best outcomes. As a result, throwing your microwave away altogether would be the best approach to saving yourself from the treacherous disease of

It is important that current smokers have proper programs designed to help them quit smoking. Banning smoking only helps the people that do not smoke while ignoring the fact that many people are heavily addicted to tobacco. Another way that the plan is successful is because it reduces student exposure to smoking. In a study done by Dr. Amanda Fallin, found that “past 30-day smoking was highest (19%) among students on campuses with designated smoking areas…compared to 10% to 12% on campuses with other policies” (Fallin et al., 1098). With designated smoking areas instead of a smoking ban, the overall number of students that smoke is nearly double that of campuses with smoking or tobacco bans.

Unfortunately, sunscreens that contain Retinyl Palmitate, may actually increase the growth of cancerous skin tumors and lesions.(2) Most sunscreens aren’t safe or protective against skin cancer and have a long list of toxic chemicals difficult to pronounce. Oxybenzone is commonly used in sunscreens and is an endocrine disruptor. Today more than ever it’s important to be aware of carcinogenic sunscreens that both line the retail shelves of grocery stores, as well as big box stores. Several studies have actually confirmed that appropriate sun exposure actually helps prevent skin cancer and is our best source of vitamin

Before you head to the beach or the tanning salon, you should be learning all you can about the sunscreen you're using to protect your skin. While some sources advocate the use of sunblock and sunscreen, others shout about how the chemicals in these products are actually bad for you. We'd like to shed as much light as possible on the debate. Is sunscreen good for you?

In western society, the depiction of health usually presides in skin tone. No one wants to be “pale” or “pasty”, so being tan is encouraged like a fashion trend. The tanning salon industry is skyrocketing along with the trend of “soaking up the sun”. It is little known that the “glorious” tan that everyone wants to achieve by sitting out in the sun for a few hours is a defense mechanism designed by the body to stop the harm that ultraviolet rays (UV rays) may cause it. UV radiation has detrimental effects on the human body.

The pro is that regular mammography can reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer by about 20%. One con about mammography is false positives, which leads to more testing and can include biopsies and another con is the potential risk of over diagnosis. Over diagnosis is caused when some of the tine cancers it finds may not progress or threaten the patient’s life, however, since there is no way to be sure which ones turn will turn dangerous, they are all treated. (Grady,

The primary prevention is the best way to eliminate the potential for exposure. Since hand washing is the most effective mean of spread of infection, it would be my primary goal to increase the compliance of hand hygiene among healthcare workers, but also an extensive education of patients and family members on hand washing before and after touching the patient as well as afar any contact with any potentially contaminated materials (surface, body fluids or respiratory secretions). Mandatory education of patients, visitors and healthcare workers, across the system as well as cross department compliance practices are single best mean of preventing the spread of infection. For example, every patient and family member can be educated about hand hygiene, use of PPE-personal protective equipment (face mask, gowns and gloves). Although, the practices are already being utilized, I believe the compliance is poorly monitored.

E. B. White was very passionate about writing and more specifically the style of it. So when White found William Strunk's book full of writing rules and tips, he knew he could not let his old professor's book disappear with the times. So he took the time to publish a book to share Strunk’s wisdom with the world. E. B. White cherished this book written by William Strunk. White refers to this little book and its content as a “rich deposit of gold.”

Brooks utilizes personal emotional appeal to his audience that creates relatability to Kathy Fletcher and David Simpsons. The couple lives in a house consisting of “small bedrooms” yet they still manage to accommodate everybody that is welcomed to their home. Brooks give the idea that the couple are average, yet managed to do a tremendous task. These children refer to Kathy and David as “Momma and Dad,” showing that they represent what they didn’t have and it creates a relationship between the children and Kathy and David. The children are also “unfailingly polite” and “turn toward one another’s loves” proving that they are now part of a family and they began to rely on each other like a family does.
