.... The hierarchic theory is often represented as a pyramid, with the larger, lower levels representing the lower needs, and the upper point representing the need for self-actualization. Each level of the pyramid is dependent on the previous level. For example, a person does not feel the second need until the demands of the first have been satisfied. 1. Physiological Needs. These needs are biological and consists of the needs for oxygen, food, water, and a relatively constant body temperature. These needs are the strongest because if deprived, the person would die. 2. Safety Needs. Except in times of emergency or periods of disorganization in the social .....

.... Dominican Republic, Kenya, Rwanda, Thailand, Uganda, the United States, and Zambia. Illness and death among young adults due to HIV have reached such proportions in some countries that overall national economics and productivity are affected. In Uganda, for example, 44 percent of all premature deaths are attributable to AIDS. In terms of years of labor productivity, AIDS is responsible for more than 66 percent of Uganda's economically significant losses. The virus is also spreading into new areas. For example: -During the last three years, HIV-infection rates among Vietnamese prostitutes jumped from 9 percent to 38 percent. -Infection rate .....

.... first six months of life. (Gerald, 1970, p.10) In this paper, I will be focusing on the importance of breast-feeding and the issue concerning breast-feeding and bottle-feeding. The issue of breast vs. bottle is very old and controversial. Many have argued that there's no way to really know the effects of breast-feeding, but studies have proved otherwise. It has been said that breast-feeding is the ideal method for feeding and nurturing infants, and that it is the best way to achieve optimal infant and child health, growth and development. "Human milk is uniquely superior for infant feeding and is species-specific; all substitute feeding options dif .....

.... developing drugs that could kill microbes, but they proved to be either dangerous or ineffective. In 1928 there was a discovery by Alexander Fleming. He detected that a substance he called "penicillin" destroyed bacteria. Then in the late 1930's, two British scientists invented a method of extracting penicillin from the mold. This was the start of developing new drugs to treat diseases and bacteria. Over the years, numerous thousands of antibiotic material have been found in nature as well as produced chemically but, there are few that are safe and useful. However the ones that are safe and effective have saved many lives and have helped extend lif .....

.... contains the ear drum and the connection between the pharynx and the drum, the Eustachian tube. The inner ear contains the sensory receptors for hearing which are enclosed in a fluid filled chamber called the cochlea. The outer and middle ears purposes are only to receive and amplify sound. Those parts ofd the ear are only present in amphibians and mammals, but the inner ear is present in all vertebrates. The ear can hear in several different ways. They are volume, pitch, and tone. Pitch is related to the frequency of the sound wave. The volume depends on the amplitude or intensity of the sound wave. The greater the frequency, the higher the .....

.... different parts and different functions in the human body. Right and left brain’s have distinctly different ways of looking the world. The left brain controls the right side of the body, even the eye what you see from the right eye goes to left brain. But this function is reversed for left-handed people. Left brain mostly focus on the logical analytical, judgment and verbal. The right side of the brain control the left side of the body, this brain focus more on creative, intuitive, it is concerned more with the visual and emotional side of the life. When reading left brain is sensibly making connection and analyzing the meaning of the world, .....

.... the human who is still to small to cry aloud for it's own protection, have been accused of having a 19th Century approach to life in the last third of the 20th Century. But who in reality is using arguments of a bygone Century? It is an incontrovertible fact of biological science - Make no Mistake - that from the moment of conception, a new human life has been created. Only those who allow their emotional passion to overide their knowledge, can deny it: only those who are irrational or ignorant of science, doubt that when a human sperm fertilizes a human ovum a new human being is created. A new human being who carries genes in its cells t .....

.... danger to the mother's health as well. Legislative action in the 20th century has been aimed at permitting the termination of unwanted pregnancies for medical, social, or private reasons. Abortions at the woman's request were first allowed by the Soviet Union in 1920, followed by Japan and several East European nations after World War II. In the late 1960s liberalized abortion regulations became widespread. The impetus for the change was threefold: (1) infanticide and the high maternal death rate associated with illegal abortions, (2) a rapidly expanding world population, (3) the growing feminist movement. By 1980, countries where abortions were p .....

.... “euthanasia�. An essential aspect of euthanasia is that it involve taking a human life. Also, the person whose life is taken must be someone who is believed to be suffering from an incurable disease or injury from which recovery cannot reasonably be expected. Finally the action must be deliberate and intentional. Therefore euthanasia is intentionally taking the life of a presumably hopeless person. It is important to be clear about the deliberate and intentional aspect of the killing. If a hopeless person is given an injection of the wrong drug by mistake and this causes his/her death, this is wrongful killing but not euthanasia. The killin .....

.... things to different people, it is still possible to provide several general statements about traditions; medicine among American Indians that can be used as guidelines in understa nding tribal beliefs about illness and healing. Most tribes have the beliefs that their medicine people have “extra� that others don't. This power comes from varied sources: a visionary experience that leads one into the study of medicine, or being born into a family that includes generations of medicine people. Many tribes have both men and women medicine people, but some tribes have only medicine women. Many medicine people have a specialty, such as herbalist, bon .....
