The rituals performed by the communities in Hong Kong I moved to Hong Kong for studies on why I was attracted by the fact that education was free and compulsory; therefore, literacy levels are low. This helped me learn the rituals of some communities, in my case, Nacirema, in North America, on how they carried out their daily activities and believes in enhancing their living standards. The ritual of fascinating through the mouth prevented their teeth and jaws from felling off. (Miner, 1956). The person with a decaying hole in the mouth would seek a holy-mouth-man to help open the gaps that might have been created by the decay. Mouth ritual was believed to determine the relationship of the community members with their friends. It was perceived that if the practice were not done, the community would be isolated from the rest of the region’s cities. In the community, there were abstinence rituals that helped keep the community pure from calamities that may attack them as a result of sex abuse. Sex was supposed to be marked as a secret…

However, would be best for all concerned parties if preventive strategies were developed to understand why the behavior occurs. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) states that social workers who assess and review risks are better positioned to build effective communication with pedophiles with a view of safeguarding every child (NASW, 2017). Pedophiles are a vulnerable population who need to be helped. Social service organizations are striving to pull together resources that will help combat child sexual abuse. Social workers have been impactful in providing values that help support pedophiles.

High alcohol levels in women limit According to Tynjälä et al. (2012), research utilizes gender as a risk factor for alcohol-related liver illnesses.  Women are susceptible to a cumulative dose of alcohol than men. The risk remains even after eliminating alcohol consumption in their life. The research was based on the gastric ADH theory. However, high gastric levels can also be found in the intestine and stomach. Gastric ADH is crucial in alcohol metabolism in the digestive system; it helps convert alcohol to acetaldehyde, which metabolizes to water and carbon dioxide. With women, the enzyme amount is lesser than those of men (Guy and Peters,2013). Therefore, when a male and female consumes the same amount of alcohol at large amounts. The latter will be found with high alcohol levels than the other one, which leads to cirrhosis of the liver. Gastric protection is lost faster than men, thus creating a first-pass metabolism that impairs the liver functioning with time. Nevertheless, women have a faster gastric emptying rate than men and faster hepatic oxidation of ethanol, which opposes the functioning of…

Women’s health Although the rights may seem equal for women and women on paper, things are still different. Most women are discriminated, overtly or subtly, in terms of employment, labor and other opportunities by virtue of being female. To counter this inequality, many federal agencies have taken the initiative to help women realize their true potential. They include the office on violence against women under the U.S Department of Justice (Women’s Bereau, n.d). This office was established to serve women who are victims of domestic and dating violence, stalking and sexual assault. The office coordinates all the agencies, local and national, to appropriately respond to violence against women. Also, the office of women’s health, U.S Food and Drug Administration.

Novelistic Sympathy Maria Shelley’s Frankenstein is one of the unique novels of the romantic period. Even though it is a romantic fiction type of art, the book’s narration makes it one of the most unique during the time. The text is made up of three-strand narration. Unlike novels that follow chronological order type of plot, where events are narrated to the reader as they happen, “Frankenstein” exploits an embedded narrative kind of style. The three main characters in the text narrate their ordeals through an epistle narration and a framing narration. The epistle narration is expediated through Walton’s letter to his sister. The framed narration occurs when two characters Victor and the monster, share their stories with the audience.

Racial discrimination Among the many social problems that social groups face worldwide, racial discrimination is one of the deadliest. Racial discrimination is a type of discrimination against a person based on their skin, race, or ethnic group. It is one of the many problems facing many social groups. We discuss a common problem, but no significant changes or improvements throughout the generations. One can encounter racial discrimination in various ways, from business settings, school settings, legal settings, or even social settings. It is sad to note that among the several cases reported of racial discrimination, infants or children are among the many victims. These are innocent souls who have come into this world without choosing which ethnic group they belong to or what skin color to acquire. It is absurd that this can as well as apply to adults too. We were all infants at one time, and no one has the privilege to choose a family or ethnic group before being born. In short, it is beyond our capability. Why should a fellow human born in the same circumstance…
