Issues and Problems
Hum/111

A issue in my life that I felt was distressing was when I started being around my brother more and we get along find but he likes to drink a lot and it causes problems between us sometimes. I see this as a problem that can turn into an issue over time if my brother doesn’t understand his mood swings by drinking all the time. Also he really needs to understand the problem and how it affects the people around him that actually do care about him. It’s a problem now because my brother is trying to work on it and get better at socializing with a clear mind. I try to express the problem to my brother in a lot of different ways. I try to identify the problem as he does it or

    Essay On Social Work

    My father was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and cirrhosis of the liver. The doctors then gave him two options; if he began taking his medications and stopped drinking he would receive the necessary treatments in order to enjoy a lengthy life without alcohol. Option two included taking his medications but not holding off on his drinking problem, the outcome of this would be my father passing a lot sooner than expected. My family and I were able to come together and realize the seriousness of his drinking problem. Once my father’s drinking decreased, he was a completely different man, creating a strong foundation for my family. As my relationship with my family improved, the rest of my life soon followed. During that time I started working at an elementary school that happened to be in a rough part of town and coaching a U12 boys soccer team. I quickly realized that I enjoyed working with the youth and noticed myself having positive productive relationships with troubled students due to the fact that I was able to relate to their problems in certain aspects.…

    Everyone has problems. Some people are aware enough to acknowledge the problems, while others need help identifying issues. There are those that will deny that a problem even exists, though there are several identifying factors that scream otherwise. Individuals in denial of their problems often spiral downhill until they reach rock bottom. They may need to be given an ultimatum before even attempting to get help. Tonya is a married woman with children who is given an ultimatum by her husband to get help for her drinking problems. Tonya does not see the need for any intervention because in her eyes, she drinks as a way to unwind and relax.

In the interview, the professional uses several techniques that cause Tonya to reflect on situations in which her drinking has kept her from performing to her best ability.

    Now that the war is was finally over. The last cry of help has been heard and peace was supposedly coming to the United States. Was this information wrong? An ideological war, which prompted mass paranoia known as the Red Scare had spread through the US. It began in 1919 and ended in 1921. “Red Scare”, was the label given to the actions of the riots, legislation, and the hatred and persecution of conscientious, and “subversives” objectors during that period of time. The "Red Scare" (2010)…

    I think the topic that I select is very interesting but I think is a little bit controversial because this writer includes God in his Discourse of the Method. The way that Descartes started this passage made me think that he relies on his own understanding including that he was really confused about his existence, where his thoughts and ideas came from this part was very surprise to me. The first point when I get surprise was when he said that he decided to pretend that every thought he had, were no more true, than the illusions and dreams he always had. Being a person that believes in God. For this reason I put in the beginning of the paragraph that this topic is a little bit controversial. Then to my surprise, he came to realize that the ideas put in him were by something greater than him. He said that the thing greater than him is God. Another statement that took me by surprise was when he stated that God was in us.…

    Personal Narrative: Hanford West Basketball Team

    Not very long ago, my parents were on the edge of divorce mainly due to the fact that my father was consumed by alcohol which played a major role in his way of thinking. He sat my siblings and I down and explained he was ready to call it quits. As days went on it was obvious to me that I would have to be the one to stand up and speak my mind out of us siblings. So I did. I was very anxious that speaking my mind would do nothing but make me look like a fool, but I knew in my heart that I had the ability to stitch this broken family together. As a result, he and my mother worked things out and are back on track thanks to having the courage to be a family…

    Growing up with an alcoholic can drastically affect a child’s life. One in five Americans has lived with an alcoholic relative while growing up (“Children of Alcoholics”). I am one of those five. Yes, my father was an alcoholic while I was growing up. It is a touchy subject for me, but it is safe to say growing up with an alcoholic dad was very difficult for my family. After an emotional separation, my father realized what his life had become, and he worked to overcome his alcoholism. Many of these efforts to recover died out quickly, and my dad had to jump from organization to organization until he finally recovered through Help Incorporation. Whenever I ask my dad about why it was so…

    Living in a community that offers all the amenities can be very beneficial to families. It allows them to live life in the comfort of their own neighborhood with the neighbors they know. Those types of neighborhoods also seem to offer a bit more safety and protection as well. Sometimes though we can’t protect against everything and human error takes place that can cause harm to others. If a mistake was made in a community development that has caused some children and adults to get sick, there can be a lot of possibilities as to how they got sick. The tough part in determining what could be causing the sickness is that so many factors are involved. Is it a fluke that people are getting sick or was it an accident on someone’s part?…

    Addiction Counseling Strengths

    I have noticed that I seem to almost “empathize too hard,” at times. Also, when clients I work with now relapse, I take it hard in certain circumstances and question if there was more I could have done. I currently utilize supervision, both individual and triadic with another case manager in recovery, to address specific feelings and emotions associated with client outcomes, and will continue to utilize this method as it has been beneficial. Another way I remain balanced and stable is through my personal self-care plan of continued attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, working with my own sponsor, exercise, and…

    Crisis Intervention

    A psychological crisis refers to an individual's inability to solve a problem. We all exist in a state of emotional equilibrium, a state of balance, or homeostasis (Aguilera,1998). This theory states that a crisis is unique to every individual, although our crisis may seem similar of that of another individual, the way we interpret and deal with our crisis is very much different. Aguilera states that we all at some point in our lives will find an inability that denies us from solving a problem. Aguilera describes crisis as the state of our psychological equilibrium being continuously threatened by stressors. The better that people come through each crisis, the better they will tend to deal with what lies ahead, but this is not to say that all is lost and never to be recovered if a person has had a…
