Mental and Physical Health Research Progress


    Mental health and Physical health should be treated as equally important. This is the main point I am trying to make in my final research paper for this class. I think I have identified a problem as to why they are not treated as equals, and I think it is very important to note that the reason behind this problem is the stigma that exists around mental health and mental illness.
    If one has a heart attack or stroke, and it has been made aware to someone else, there wouldn't be any hesitation in trying to get the victim help, and the paramedics/people helping wouldn't have a problem with trying to help the victim. I one person knew they had a broken rib, it is highly unlikely for the person to ignore it until it possibly kills them. Why do people do this with mental health? Why do both the victim and the "helpers" see mental health problems as less than physical problems? This is the topic of my research paper.
    I have started my research, and while I have read many articles on Google Scholar that have not helped me remotely, I have also found two Scholar articles that have been tremendously helpful, and one EDU website that has been extremely helpful. 
    I am using notecards to help me organize my evidence for my claims and my sources. I find this method, that I learned in middle school, to be extremely helpful when it comes to organization and deciphering if I have enough evidence to support my claims. 
    I have not figured out my claims or the worded for them, yet, but I do have an idea of the claims that I am making. I think my set up for this paper will be a view of both thesis and antithesis. I think I will do my best to start with presenting an objective paper of information and then add methods of pathos, ethos, and logos to help sway the reader.
    Here is a link to one of my sources. I actually found it a really interesting read.

    I agree that mental and physical health should be treated as equal because they go hand in hand with each other. I think that they're equally important because they affect each other. This is a great topic, I hope you find some good evidence!

The Sky Can Pull Herself Together

    I wonder how often rain falls, and out of the times it does rain, I wonder what the most common kind of rain is.  Is the most common form of rain a drizzle, mist, pouring rain, thunderstorm, or something else?  I think one of my most favorite things about rain is the silence.  After almost every storm, there is a silence that lingers. How quickly the sky can pull herself together, after the storm, is beautiful.     I admire the sky.  She can go through so much destruction, yet pull herself together all the same. Sometimes she doesn't fully get it together until the sunset or rise, but she still does.  She is so capable.  Maybe I am, too.     No matter what you are going through, you are like the sky.  There are many things that could  happen, and a lot of them can be uncalled for, unfair, and something no one should ever have to go thorough, but you can pull yourself together.  Whatever destru...

Three Paragraphs

Three paragraphs.  Three.  Paragraphs.  Who am I?  Who?  Am?  I?  You want me to tell you who I am in a minimum of three paragraphs.  Is it possible for me to tell you who I am in a maximum of three paragraphs?  Can I even try and sum up to you who I am in one sentence?  In a paragraph?  I can try.  I am a body and a soul.  I have a brain, along with logic and reason.  I like to read.  I am a wrestler.  I am a child of God.  I am Catholic.  I am a swimmer.  I am blonde.  I am five feet and four-and-a-quarter inches tall.  I wear a size nine and a half women’s shoe and a seven in men’s.  I know my men’s size because up until 2021, there were no wrestling shoes that ran in women’s sizes.  I am an advocate for the sanctioning of women’s wrestling as a high school sport...

Problems

               Problems in life are inevitable.  Problems can be in school, sports, work, and social aspects of life. These problems pop up in every aspect of life, and sometimes we have a difficult time coming up with a solution to them or a way around them.                In my microtheme assignment, the biggest problem I arrived at was trying to figure out a third reason as to why people might practice religious exclusivism .  Then, once I did have a eureka moment, I found that my microtheme was about five lines onto the second page, so I had to shorten things up a bit.  Eventually, though, I did figure out solutions to these problems, and then in class I was given other suggestions to find solutions to.  I did my best to find solutions to these problems as well; I shortened my lengthy question into a more concise one, and I eliminated some of the wordiness. I...
