    Rock Star, Meet Teetotaler Essay

    In Sacha Z. Scoblic’s essay, Rock Star, Meet Teetotaler, she recounts her societal struggles after coming out from troubles involving alcoholism. At the age of thirty-two, she had been a Teetotaler for six months and was meeting people at a restaurant in hopes of finding friends to be acquainted with her new found sobriety. However, when she declines an offer of wine, she displays conflict between her drinking and non-drinking self because she once conceived that entertainment could only be met through the consumption of alcohol. She portrays a desire for social acceptance, yearning to be fun and exciting so that she could be seen as easy to get along with, but feels uncomfortable in being so without intoxication. With no idea how to be fun without drinking, she realized that her drunken personality was not her actual one, and writes about her quest for searching identity. Displaying fear that her new found sobriety would cause her to stick out in society as awkward and mundane, Sacha admits to have been through a tough change of social lifestyle. A story of personal experience, it is clear that Scoblic wrote this essay in order to enlighten alcoholics and drinkers as a whole by convincing them that they could be both entertaining and entertained without the use of liquor. She does this through the use of informal style, yet sophisticated diction, as well as assertive writing in order to bring out sympathy and understanding from the readers that are able to relate to her experiences.…

    Explain Co-Dependency As It Relates To Domestic Violence

    Explain that domestic violence can become a chronic condition and has its roots in low-self worth, fears of abandonment or being alone, and can be seeded in early childhood or adolescence. Examples can be: real or imagined abandonment by caretakers, witnessing violence within the family, being a victim of abuse or neglect, having a emotionally-unavailable parent (alcoholic or depressed).…

    Motorcycle And Sweetgrass Analysis

    In chapter fifteen, I enjoy how Taylor uses humour rather than cynicism to enlighten the readers of this issue. I find it comical when Maggie is, "… shocked to see all the shelves in the [refrigerator] lined with dark bottles of beer", and John explains how, "… you can't be much of an alcoholic unless you have some alcohol to drink. It's one of the rules". In my opinion, Taylor masters the use of irony to make light of alcoholism. It is ironic because alcoholics behave in a disorderly and chaotic manner; they definitely do not follow rules. However, humour is effective in highlighting Sammy's reliance on alcohol, like a ritualistic activity where he is bound by the rules of his own addiction. Through the use of the word ‘rules’, Taylor causes me to automatically think of obedience and respect. However, by associating this simple word with alcoholism, he combines irony and humour, while acknowledging the tragedy of addiction. I believe that humanity relies on structure and rules. Despite our denial, we crave boundaries because without them, we are subject to chaos and disorder. Therefore, I find it especially intriguing how Taylor thoughtfully incorporates the word ‘rules’ in association with alcohol addiction. It brushes over one of the themes in the novel, humanity’s addiction to order, and our…

    Domestic violence is mental, physical and emotional violence that occur around the world in any type of family household.

    Battered Person Syndrome Analysis

    Domestic violence is “a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence,” according to Safe Horizon (SH, 2015). Domestic violence can occur in many different relationships, such as parent-child relationships, dating couples relationships, or even sibling relationships. The psychological consequences of domestic violence are overlooked, most of the time, by people with the speculation that the victim can always just leave their attackers. Only about half of the cases of domestic violence are actually reported to authorities, according to the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMH, 2014). Battered…

    Domestic Violence and Substance Abuse

    The topic I chose for this project was the link between domestic violence and substance abuse. From the research that I did, there is a definite link between domestic abuse and substance abuse. According to the National Coalition against domestic violence, "Regular alcohol abuse is one of the leading factors for intimate partner violence." Approximately 61% of domestic violence offenders also have substance abuse problems. Domestic violence is the use of intentional emotional, psychological, sexual, or physical force by one family member or partner to control another. These acts can include, verbal abuse, threats, physical abuse, sexual abuse, destroying the victim's possessions, slapping, punching, kicking, burning, stabbing, shooting, or killing the victim's. A woman is beaten every 15 SECONDS in the United States, 30% of female trauma patients have been the victim of domestic violence. The medical costs for women who have been injured by their partners total to more than 44 million annually. Researchers have found that one-fourth to one half of men who commit acts of domestic violence also have substance abuse issues. A study conducted by the "Department of Justice" of murders in families found that more than one half of defendants accused of murdering their spouses, as well as almost half of the victim's, had been drinking alcohol at the time of the incident. Alcohol and drugs may be used to cope with the physical, emotional, and/or psychological pain of family violence. "Regular alcohol abuse is one of the leading factors for intimate partner violence, also men who batter frequently use alcohol abuse as an excuse for their violence. They attempt to rid themselves of responsibility for their violence by blaming it on the effects of alcohol." (NCADV) The effects on children of substance abusing parents is also great, "Children of substance abusing parents are more likely to experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse than children in non-substance abusing…

    Australia's Drinking Culture

    We believe we do have an ugly drinking culture in Australia. In Victoria alone, alcohol-related harm is costing the government $4.3 billion dollars each year. This includes road accidents and health problems. The effects of excessive alcohol are not new. Also not new are the health, safety and lifestyle risks that alcohol can cause,including, saying or doing something you will regret later, accidents and injures on the streets, in cars and it even contributes towards obesity. Heavy alcohol intake not only continues to surround us, but is also slipping from our grasps. Alcohol related emergencies have tripled, hospitalisations have risen by 87 per cent and alcohol related violence has doubled. Alcohol has three main problems: the government has a lack of leadership, the health risks alcohol causes and Australians abusing alcohol.…

    Policy Issues Child Exposure To Domestic Violence

    Many parents seemed to have forgotten the impact that domestic violence has on a child. A big impact is that of being exposed to domestic violence at an early age, also the effect that domestic observation has on an individual and his character. Character flaws can impact a child into his adolescent years and also affect his decision making skills in adult years. I have seen the result of a child who has been a part of a domestic violence family and home. The mind frame which an adolescent is permanently damaged with is not a healthy one. The learned behavior that a male or female carry on becomes an unhealthy cycle.…

    Intimate Partner Violence

    Domestic violence has been at the most important part of the criminal justice system for many years now. Domestic violence has been known as one of the most severe crime around the world. The phrase domestic violence is now also known as Intimate Partner Violence, which in short abbreviates to IPV (Cares, & Felson, 2005). From numerous research it has been proven that poverty and alcohol consumption leads to domestic violence. Intimate partner violence (IPV), is when one of the partners use physical, sexual, or even mental abuse to hurt the partner they are intimate with. (Smith, Homish, Leonard, & Cornelius, 2011). However, domestic violence is also towards relationships that are not intimate, but are just together as a couple. Relationships where individuals were partners before, but are not anymore still go through abuses of all sorts even when individuals are not intimate. (Cohn, McCrady, Epstein, & Cook, 2010). Some type of abuse, which does not always have to be physical, or sexual, affects couples as in people in a type of relationship. Every couple at some point of their relationship will go through arguments and disagreements whether that argument leads to physical or sexual abuse or not, it does affect one mentally. Individuals in the relationship and the relationship itself are emotionally connected.…

    cement industry in bangladesh

    Cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. The word "cement" traces to the Romans, who used the term opus caementicium to describe masonry resembling modern concrete that was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives that were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum, cimentum, cäment, and cement. Cements used in construction can be characterized as being either hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Hydraulic cements (e.g., Portland cement) harden because of hydration, a chemical reaction between the anhydrous cement powder and water. Thus, they can harden underwater or when constantly exposed to wet weather. The chemical reaction results in hydrates that are not very water-soluble and so are quite durable in water. Non-hydraulic cements do not harden underwater; for example, slaked limes harden by reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide. The most important uses of cement are as an ingredient in the production of mortar in masonry, and of concrete, a combination of cement and an aggregate to form a strong building material..…
