Vaping- post #2

When reviewing the topic on whether a paternalistic approach should be taken when it comes to vaping I believe that this should be the case. From researching the topic on vaping I have learned that vaping is actually harmful and is not something that should be given out to the public. Specifically in teens, vaping has became something very popular and is something that has become a trend. I also noticed that there was a perception of vaping within our generation that would weaken my argument of vaping needing a paternalistic approach. A lot of people believe that because e cigarettes were created in order to stop smoking actual cigarettes, it is a healthy alternative but that is not the case. the difference between vaping and smoking cigarettes is that within smoking cigarettes, tobacco is burning and the tar is harming your lungs. Within vaping, it is actually a liquid that is burning which makes people believe that it is a more healthy way. This is not the case at all because studies do show that it is equally as harming or even more because of the additional chemicals within the vape. Your questions about vaping, answered – Rogers Behavioral Health

    This post was very enlightening for me. I did not realize how bad vapes actually were compared to cigarettes. Since cigarettes and vapes are so dangerous to people, do you think the government should just outright ban them or place an age limit on buying it or something similar?

    It is great that you are focusing on the teens point of view. In my opinion teens are very receptive to vaping as a good amount of this group partakes in it. You listed a lot of great facts.

WP4: Mental Health Within The Black Community

Image
 After researching on different health disparities within multiple communities and how the socioeconomic factors contribute to these issues, I knew that I wanted to focus on the Black Community specifically regarding mental health. Background information that I have known prior to research includes the stigma behind mental health in the Black community and how it has always been pushed to the side within Black families due to other problems being seen as bigger. Black individuals have been taught to be strong and prepared for how the world sees us and to always keep our heads up but there comes a time when there's only so much one can take before they break. Due to the everyday fears black Americans have to watch out for and a lot of past trauma that they bury deep down, this contributes to the high rates of mental illnesses and keeps our community down as a whole. Information I need to find is specific data that shows how mental illnesses within the back community are higher and w...

WRIT150- Health and Healing Retrospective

Image
     In the beginning of the semester, there were so many parts of writing that I did not understand and have done wrong specifically within argumentative essays. I knew that when picking this specific class, I was going to enjoy the content due to it being about 'Health and Healing' and specifically medical ethics within the field I want to go down and that is exactly what the end resulted in. When it came to collaborating in workshops to brainstorm along with peer reviews I do think it was harder for me in the beginning due to in the past I thought I worked better alone but I found it very helpful being put in these groups and do believe that my papers benefitted from doing so. Being able to see my progress through the creation of this blog from the beginning of the semester to now has allowed me to find a new way to brainstorm all the ideas I have within my head and write them down on paper. I do now believe that this is my learning style for when I am choosing to star...

WP4: Mental Health Within the Black Community

Image
 When Finding sources, it did not surprise me as to how many articles and journals there were regarding how Mental Health affects the Black Community differently and the social determinants that play key factors in this reasoning. One source I found during the beginning of my research was a news source called, "Black and African American Communities and Mental Health". This article points out the societal issues and how they truly have affected the Black community and continue to have an impact on how there is a stigma behind Mental Health in our community up until this day. The article also focuses on what some treatment options could be to help this problem.  https://www.mhanational.org/issues/black-and-african-american-communities-and-mental-health
