Child abuse refers to the mistreatment of a child by a parent, guardian or any other figure appointed to care for the well being, and welfare of a child.

in Nature

The peaceful use of nuclear energy is produced by nuclear fission. During the last two years more than 430 nuclear power plants are on stream producing about 15% of the world’s electrical power requirements.

Most people welcome this technology as it represents a low cost alternative to burning fossil fuels. Others are a bit more apprehensive and question the safety of these power plants, remembering only too well the accidents which occurred in recent times at Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island.

Nuclear reactors contain many controls and moderating materials to avoid the reactor from overheating and running out of control. But certainly in any reactor whose cooling procedures failed the core would become would become a metallic blob capable of melting through anything.

Effects of Nationalism

Nationalism may be described usually as a feeling of patriotism, loyalty, and devotion to the country within which a person was born and raised.

Although this does not sensibly explain how children born of parents working and domiciled in a foreign country assume the feelings of nationalism to the country of their parent’s birth?

So it is difficult to define the exact nature of nationalism. We witness daily the effects of nationalism in the forms of war and acts of terrorism in many locations around the world, so apart from just being love of ones country. Nationalism seems to include religion, culture, and politics.

in Health

Agoraphobia is generally thought of as being a suffering from a pronounced and illogical fear of public or open spaces. But the phobia goes a little deeper, and can be likened to a fear of being in situations where the individual feels there is no escape from the event, or where the escape would induce feelings of humiliation.

It is thought that agoraphobia is brought about by being continually being exposed to situations which stir up feelings of anxiety in the person. Agoraphobia is a mental disorder resulting from many causes, but does tend to run in families, with some individuals having a genetic predisposition to the phobia.

Effects of Imprisonment

in Society

Throughout history the act of imprisonment as a punishment against people who commit offences against society has been carried out in some form or another. In earlier times the punishment was administered to fit the crime, and commonly administered on an ‘eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth’ basis.

Today imprisonment still serves as the form of punishment for offenders, but the bias of the type of punishment has changed into one of changing the offender’s attitude by punishment, followed by teaching deterrence, and finally rehabilitation.

These concepts may be quite valid in theory, but seldom deal with case hardened habitual criminals, terrorists who are happy to become martyr’s, and massive drug cartels who pay no heed at all to any kind of law, and are frequently aided and abetted by the people who make the law in the first place!!
