Fecal incontinence (FI) is a medical condition that can be socially crippling and devastating. It is defined as the recurrent uncontrolled passage of stool for at least 1 month. (1) This condition will cause patients to literally stay locked in their homes and can be a major deciding factor for placing loved ones into a nursing home. (2) It true incidence of this condition varies greatly due to the negative stigmata and loss of autonomy associated it. The median prevalence of FI is 7.7% with a range of 2 – 21%. It affects both males and females equally and it increases with age. (3) Risk factors for developing FI include parous females, patients with cognitive or…

Having to go into the nearest shop or even pub, to ask to use their toilet without purchasing anything can be embarrassing and may lead to an individual buying an item that was unnecessary or not required.…
Both Frost and Reagan talk about theme of separation in their text. For instance, Frost talks about how the wall separates the narrator from his neighbor. Reagan talks about how the horrendous wall separates the city in half and keeping beloved families apart. These examples prove the theme of separation. Although these texts talk about the separation of walls, it also talks about how it affects people.…
In this paragraph, Beck delineates that although bathroom anxiety is a condition that many people suffer through, it is also a common social insecurity that many others feel because they consider entering a public bathroom an unwilling relinquish of privacy. I personally related to the behaviors that Beck listed as I myself perform them when in a public restroom, such as “leaving space at urinals.” It is especially interesting to me that these behaviors have become ubiquitous throughout modern society because of our own personal prejudices for associating urination and excretion with filth and degradation. These behaviors cannot conceal the fact that urination and excretion are necessary to maintain good health and are imperative to survival.…

For women, going out camping in the woods or fishing can pose a challenge. When nature calls, as it inevitably will, you must strip down to answer it. This causes many women to worry about their privacy and there is always the concern of urinating at an odd angle and soaking your foot. Not to mention the simple fact, squatting is not the most comfortable position to be in and there are certain times that you really do not want to have to squat somewhere.…
Towels are used every day by us for a number of reasons. We use towels to clean our face, for bathing, drying our hands and body, and also for cleaning. These towels used for various purposes should be cleaned regularly and kept aside for different purposes. We should have proper bath towels to maintain the health and hygiene of our family. Towels should not shared d by other members of the family. But this carries dirt from one body to another so separate bath towels should be used by everyone. Buy bath towels for one and all members of the family. Kids have a very soft and sensitive skin .The quality of the cloth used in making the towels should be kept in mind. Rough and synthetic fibers used in making towels can make our skin rough and leave scratches on our body.…
Traditional Chinese potty training techniques involve leaving infants and young toddlers in open pants without diapers. Children are encouraged to relieve themselves anytime, anywhere. The results are sometimes rinsed away, and other times the mess is left behind on a sidewalk or floor (Chou, 2009). No matter how effective and efficient a training method, this behavior would most certainly be stigmatized in Western society. Imagining not only the visual but the olfactory consequences of this being repeated in daily life would evoke disgust for…
From this experience I feel like I’ve learned so little. To be absolutely honest, these sanctions were pointless and a nuisance, distracting me from more important things I could be doing. Nonetheless, the paper is really how these programs were supposed to “help” me. A few unbiased opinions I had about this program, is I suppose it can be classified as helpful to the average, simple-minded delinquent stereotype that most people in your position created this program around, but due to this fact it actually ends up being offensive and unnecessary to deter harmless Marijuana use. Yes I am a pot smoker, and just like cigarette smokers, alcohol drinkers, and prescription drug users, I understand its physical and mental risks. Fortunately, with marijuana over numerous drugs and alcohol, the benefits out weigh the risks.…
As electric typewriters came into widespread use after World War II, Bette Nesmith Graham and countless other secretaries let out a collective groan. The new machines did make typing easier, but their carbon-film ribbons made it impossible to correct mistakes neatly with a pencil eraser. As a result of this predicament, Graham ended up inventing one of the most widely used office products of the 20th century.…
Generally, inside a restroom all manners, class, and egos are left outside. I’ll get into the egos later. Inside the four walls, everybody is equal and with one thing in mind: doing what nature calls. The room gets filled with familiar noises, just like the ones at home, but they’re let go with some sort of fear. It is part of being human to take care of our biological needs, but when we are in public it seems to be weird to do so. People see dogs doing their thing on the street and give a weak, embarrassing laugh at their actions like it is something that it has to be taken care off, but we don’t talk about…
Try to imagine a life without paper. Even in this era of emails and digital books, paper is all around us. Shopping bags, paper money, store receipts, cereal boxes, toilet paper, etc., prove we use paper in many ways every day. Islamic people helped spread paper to the west, where paper started to be produced more and more and finally, printed as we know it today. But, Before Muslims spread paper into the west; recently, archeologist’s extravagated letters written in Sogdian, a no longer used language. Dating between the fourth through sixth centuries these are examples of paper written in non-Chinese writing. The invention of paper had a great impact on China (and eventually the entire world) because it was more convenient, enhanced intellectual knowledge, and made writing easier.…
