- ... what political integration entails could be expanded, if only in the case of the elderly, to include attitudes toward politics as well as political events themselves” (p.46). Steven Stack’s (1990) article on the effect of divorce on suicide in Denmark, from 1951 to 1980, looks at the effect of marital dissolution on suicide from a cultural and institutional framework different from previous studies that had focused on America. His article focuses on Denmark, which has a different cultural and institutional context than the ... county groups do, in fact, indicate that for many major religious groups the effects of religious affiliation on suicide vary across geographical areas, consistent with the theory.

- ... is achieved more rapidly then just by resistant training, is with the aid of artificial growth hormones, most notably, anabolic steroids. Steroids are compounds that resemble the natural male hormone testosterone. Testosterone has an anabolic effect in the body, and is produced naturally in the body, but only a small portion of the testerone produced naturally are used for the anabolic (muscle growth) effect, but rather for the androgenic (male sexual characteristics) effect. Steroids are constructed synthetically to maximize the anabolic effect, and to minimize the androgenic effect. Steroids are taken mainly for the person who wants the quick results of muscle growth, and to increase athletic ...

- 165: David Hume
- ... Tarr 1. Hume says, “If we would satisfy ourselves, therefore, concerning the nature of that evidence, which assures us to matters of fact, we must enquire how we arrive at the knowledge of cause and effect.” Hume then makes the claim that; “knowledge of this relation is not, in any instance, attained by reasonings a priori.” The support for this claim is that knowledge of cause and effect arises entirely from experience. If you presented an object to a man that he had never come in contact with, he would not be able to give you the causes or the effects of this ... reason a priori, and consider merely any object or cause, as it appears to the mind, independent of all observations, it never could suggest to us the notion of any distinct object, such as its effect; mush less, show us the inseparable and inviolable connexion between them. A man must be very sagacious who could discover by reasoning that crystal is the effect of heat, and ice and cold, without ...

- ... would mean fathers and mothers would have to leave their families behind in order to financially provide for them. The manner in which the migrant labor force was created to function has had a devastated effect on the South African family and the South African child. This destruction was achieved for the preservation and advancement of the economic, political and position of power that whites held within South Africa (Unecso, 1972 ... found to seek small comforts, companionship from others during their extensive periods of time spent apart(1975). In continuing to keep the sustainment of migrant labor it was acknowledged by the élites as to its effect on the African family. However, the political stance of the ruling race within South Africa made it known through the Department of Bantu Administration and Development as to what the official concept of family life ... unnecessary dependents that served no purpose in the white economy”(Bernstein, 1975). The migrant labor system has not only affected the family in the sense of husband and wife, it has also had a drastic effect on the African children. “Children have now been found to view their fathers as intruders, as a result of the lack of time spent together”(Wilson and Ramphele, 1991). In such an environment where ...
- 167: The Dawn of a New Age: PCP
- ... matter of fact, this is the principle damaging factor in stroke patients (Restak, 1994). When a neuron dies, it releases copious amounts of amino acid neurotransmitters which then kill other brain cells through the excitotoxic effect (Souza, 1993). In order to study this effect more fully, scientists used a glutamate analog known as NMDA (N-methyl-D-Aspartate) which was considerably more potent than glutamate by itself (Souza, 1993). Quite accidentally, the scientists also discovered an NMDA antagonist, which ... derivative" (Sevvenson, 1995). This is a particulary strong point of evidence, especially when coupled with the following point: A dosage of ketamine ten times that of PCP is required in order to induce the same effect (Halberstadt, 1995). This fits perfectly with ketamine's reduced effectiveness in binding to PCP receptors, which is approximately ten times less than that of PCP. Ketamine is also "essentially inactive" (Halberstadt, 1995) at both ...

- ... an argument between two people in public place and then re-enact the scene at home. Nowadays the incidence of extremely violent road rage is increasing, which many children witness. All of these instances could effect a child's behaviour and cause them to act aggressively, and none of these would be witnessed on a television screen. All of these questions seem to be ignored or left unanswered in earlier studies ... that relation, causing them to be less aggressive than they would have been without watching the violent television. This theory that viewing violence on television leads to a decrease in aggression is called the Catharsis effect. (Gerbner et.al, 1982. p. 40). However, Cumberbatch (1989) also points out serious methodological problems with this study. In particular, the fact that the observers knew which programs the children watched, and that the raters ... by virtue of inexperience, young viewers may depend on television for information more than other viewers do (van Evra 1990, p. 167), although Hawkins and Pingree argue that some children may not experience a cultivation effect at all where they do not understand motives or consequences (cited by van Evra, ibid.).
