.... on, because he knows that it is socially unacceptable. The child
might also continue to do bad things, because he doesn't realize that what
he did was wrong.
Another way evil may be introduced into a person can also be from a
movie or the media. The first time a person sees a movie with violence and
killing, the person might copy what he sees in the movie, and choose to
murder.
Aristotle says "Every act and every inquiry and similarly every
action and pursuit is thought to aim at some good." This idealism is
strongly disagreed with. Since of all the wars, murders, robbers and other
evil things that occur in our worl .....

Being Unfit Can Mean Problems
.... Fit people also tend to
live a longer life. Doing aerobic and weight exercises such as running,
walking, swimming, weight lifting etc. and a healthy diet is important in
preventing or treating the above diseases or conditions.
When you are fit, you feel energized and want to be active. Unfit
people are always sitting around saying they are tire and don't want to do
things. The truth is, unfit people are always tire. Their heart and
metabolism rate are low, so when they want to do something, they do not
have enough energy to do it. But when you feel energized, you perform task

False Memory Syndrome
.... from coping with real problems in his or her life.”
Jo hn F. Kihlstrom, Ph.D.
There are many theorys that try to explain how memory works, still
we are not sure that's how memory works. One of the most amazing theorys of
how memory works, is the one which says that every experience a person has
had is 'recorded' in memory and some of these memories are of a traumatic
event that is too terrible to want to remember. Then traumatic memories are
put away in the sub conscious mind, i.e. repressed, and are remembered in
when you grow up and some event brings it back from the unconscious.This
causes physical, and mental disord .....

The Functions And Disorders Of The Liver
.... liver absorbs harmful chemicals and even some
poisons and breaking them down into less harmful materials. The liver then
allows the substance to pass out of the body.
The substance left after the blood cells have been broken down, any
unusable nutrients have been broken down, and chemicals that are to be
passed are ready these substances are combined and made into bile. Bile is
the common substance that the liver produces to aid in the digestion of
fatty foods. Bile is what gives stool its brown color.
The liver also collects and stores' nutrients for the body. The
liver changes these nutrients into simple amin .....

Cancer
.... are present that keep it from
performing its good deeds. There have since been 5,200 studies on p53 and
researchers are sure it will be a major discovery.
The p53's function is as the director to control damage within the
cell. When it is healthy, normal cells keep them around and they continue
to degrade and replenish themselves. If a high alert is set in the cell
due to invaders such as radiation, chemotherapy carcinogens, or
chemotherapy drugs, the DNA is damaged, creating a potential risk for
cancer. The p53 stops degrading and becomes active as it builds its supply
and turns off the defective cell's ability to rep .....

AIDS: A Life Or Death Issue
.... in heterosexuals of both the sexes. It was
probably spread so quickly through female prostitutes. AID's has already
become a crisis of staggering proportions in parts of Africa. In Zaire, it
is estimated that 20% of their people carry the virus. That is 2 out of
every 10 people you see walking down the street. And that figure is
increasing. And if no cure is found that same thing will happen here in
the United States.
AID's was first seen only seen as a gay made disease in this
country. That was because of the numerous parteners an average gay male
had, but that statement is totally false. The HIV virus knows no skin

Phobias

Battle Against Mental Illness.” Will be of no value in supporting the
thesis. The facts in these sources are almost scarcely useful in supporting
the thesis. However, the first article completely discusses a persons
struggle with schizophrenia and the way in which the person tries to
overcome the obstacle. The second useless article is about a child named
Adam who is courageous in overcoming his battle. The next article deals
with loneliness and how it effects people in general. The fourth article
talks about how everyone worries; again another specific topic in which is
useless for this paper. Finally the last .....

One Thousand Years Of Chinese Footbinding: Its Origins, Popularity And Demise
.... the back of the foot together. Its purpose
was to produce a tiny foot, the "golden lotus", which was three inches long
and thought to be both lovely and alluring.[4] It is believed that the
origin of the term "golden lotus" emerged in the Southern Tang dynasty
around 920 A.D., where the emperor Li Yu ordered his favorite concubine,
Fragrant Girl, to bind her feet with silk bands and dance on a golden lotus
platform encrusted with pearls and gems. Thereafter, women inside and
outside the court began taking up strips of cloth and binding their feet,
thinking them beautiful and distinguished, dainty and elegant. It gradually

AIDS

scientist Robert Gallo at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda,
Maryland, and a group headed by American virologist Jay Levy at the
University of California at San Francisco isolated a retrovirus from
people with AIDS and individuals having contact with people with AIDS.
All three groups of scientists isolated what is now known as human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS.
Infection with HIV does not necessarily mean that a person has AIDS,
although people who are HIV-positive are often mistakenly said to have AIDS.
In fact, a person can remain HIV-positive for .....

The History Of Medicine
.... .
Civilization came to be around 12,000 BC. Diseases were treated if
minor with domestic remedies such as diet, herbs, plasters, and massage.
Often, if the case was severe, the patient was killed to relieve the
community of his burden, or the healer was summoned. Old shaman's
techniques were more based on myth and magic. Magic was man's first
attempt to understand nature. Defensive magic used fetishes (objects
endowed with magical powers), amulets (protective objects against black
magic), and talismans (good luck objects). The shaman based his diagnosis
on the concept that there was only one disease. The cau .....

The Effects Of Smoking
.... reactions. The carbon monoxide inhaled when a cigarette is
lit has a number of toxic effects on the body. The first is the impairment
of oxygen transportation in the blood. This impairs muscular performance,
and may also affect the vision, particularly at altitude.
In general, smokers are less fit than non-smokers, performing less
well in both endurance and short-term exercises. Smokers are slower, reach
exhaustion earlier, and achieve lower goals. These disadvantages are
directly related to duration of smoking and amount and are caused by the
effects of carbon monoxide on blood oxygen levels, as well as increased
heart .....
