Schizophrenia is a complex and puzzling illness. Even the experts in the field are not exactly sure what causes it. Some doctors think that the brain may not be able to process information correctly; and it is believed that genetic factors appear to play a role, as people who have family members with schizophrenia may be more likely to get the disease themselves. Some researchers believe that events in a person's environment may trigger schizophrenia. For example, problems during intrauterine development (infection) and birth may increase the risk for developing schizophrenia later in life; and psychological and social factors may also play some role in its development. However, the level of social and familial support appears to influence the course of illness and may be protective against relapse. (Schizophrenia, 1996-2006).…
Ryan shows how mothers think they know what is best for their children, but in reality, the mother might be making the biggest mistake ever. Ryan tries to show that everyone is fit for something. Even though the daughter did not get accepted to the school, she could have done something else. To prove her point Ryan writes, “I know this flies in the face of American ideals. But the reality is that all men and women are not created equal. Like or not, the ethereal, elongate body that can float on air is part of the look and feel of classical ballet” (82-83). Every individual has a different type of body, and ballet has specific requirements. To elaborate, if the San Francisco Ballet School does not follow these requirements, then it will no longer be considered an outstanding ballet school. Which shows when Keefer decided to sue the school because; in her opinion the school was wrong for not accepting her daughter Fredrika. Ryan proves that the school has the right to reject her. Ryan also points out the fact that, the daughter is too young to be going to all those kinds of issues. Ryan states, “Having written extensively about the damaging pressure on young female gymnast and figure skates, I understand Keefer’s concern about body type. But for me, the more disturbing issue is this story isn’t about weight but age” (83). Ryan believes that Fredrika is too young to be going through all this trouble, but Keefer thinks otherwise. Ryan is showing the mother is not thinking about the child well-being, but the daughters success only, which is wrong. A mother has to think about every aspect of a child’s life. On the other hand, Kix shows how Hip-Hop has lost its value. Some people might think Hip-Hop has changed for the best, in Kix’s view Hip-Hop has changed for the worst.

Schizophrenia is a chronic and disabling mental disorder. The fundamental attributes of the infection incorporate cognitive hindrance, which then affects personal satisfaction in professional and social circles. The breaking down of the personality and loss of cognitive capacity are a particularly difficult challenge for both the patient and his or her family. The cases of schizophrenia are found all through the world in all cultures, regardless of whichever culture and the levels of education. The onset of the disease typically happens between the ages of 15 and 30 (Brichford, 2012). This mental illness affects both men and women around the same rate. Increased risk of suicide and the health problems cause the low life expectancy, which is 10-12 years less than in people without schizophrenia (Brichford, 2012). With that being said, schizophrenia is a serious social and medical issue accompanied with severe cognitive, behavioral, and emotional disorders.…
I could not wait to see my name. My stomach dropped. It wasn’t there. I was sure it had to be a mistake or a typo. I hurried to my director’s office with tears forming in my eyes. “There has to be a mistake,” I said. She told me to sit down then said, “I have seen you dance, and I know you can give me more.” She proceeded to tell me that she had seen me grow up dancing, and would not take anything less than the best. I felt horrible, and even considered quitting the team, but she wouldn’t let me.…
