Body Image (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Most people would like to change something about their bod-ies and the way that they look, but for some people it isan obsession. A freckle, a mole, the size of their nose, the sym-metry of their ears, the size of their breasts, whatever the flaw orflaws, major or minor, real or misperceived, noticeable or not,they are life consuming for people with body dysmorphic disor-der (BDD).Sufferers of BDD may refuse to have their picture taken, stopgoing out with friends, quit going to school, stop going to work,refuse to leave home altogether, and even attempt suicide. Theymay have multiple plastic surgeries or just spend literally hours aday looking at, trying to cover up, measuring, and thinking abouttheir perceived defect. No amount of reassurance will comfortthem.Body integrity identity disorder (BIID) is a unique type ofBDD. Sometimes called “amputee wannabees,” sufferers feelthat they will not be themselves until a certain limb or limbsare amputated. Driven to desperation, some have taken it uponthemselves to remove their own limbs or have damaged them byfreezing them so that they have to be amputated. Once the limbsare gone, they feel whole.While people with BIID are desperate to remove something,others feel compelled, or just want, to add something. Bodymodification can range from the tame to the extreme. Multipletattoos, multiple piercings, and piercings in every part of thebody imaginable are becoming more common and more cultur-ally acceptable. Some people go to greater extremes with thingslike tattoos covering their entire bodies, sewing beads into theirskin, branding (burning a permanent scar), eyeball tattooing,eyeball jewelry, tooth filing, tongue splitting, ear pointing orshaping, and 3-D body modification such as horn implanting

Plagiarism (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Writing is difficult, and being a good writer involves count-less skills. Besides spelling and grammar, which seem likeenough to worry about, good writing involves finding your writ-ing voice, expressing your own ideas, and in many cases incor-porating other people’s ideas into the mix.

In recentyears, famous journalists, top-ten novelists, university professorsand administrators, and even pastors have succumbed to it.The New York Times, one of the most respected newspapers inthe United States, rocked the journalism world when its notedfeature writer, Jayson Blair, was found to have made up facts andquotes or plagiarized in over thirty articles over a seven-monthperiod, some of them front-page stories. He blamed his unethi-cal behavior on his past use of drugs and bipolar disorder.Steven King, J.K. Rowling, and Dan Brown, three of the mostcelebrated popular fiction writers of our time, have all beentaken to civil court, accused of stealing ideas from other writers.They all claimed innocence.Kaavya Viswanathan, while a freshman at Harvard Univer-sity, wrote a novel that was climbing its way up the New YorkTimes Best Sellers list for hardcover fiction when it was discov-ered that she had taken long passages directly from anothernovel. After her publisher pulled her books and canceled futurecontracts, additional plagiarized passages from other novels werefound. Viswanathan claimed that the obvious copying was acci-dental, a result of her very good memory
