The article I choose from the student library was “What’s going on with young people today? The long and twisting path to adulthood.” The article was about the transition to adulthood. It goes into detail about the history of becoming an adult. The article takes you through comparisons of the statistics from the past to now. It goes all the way back from the 1950’s until 2007 on how adulthood started from when young adults left their home, got married and started a family. The article was very good; it had so much information on how adulthood was so much different back in the 50’s. Back then adulthood was considered at much earlier and younger age. They were able to get married at younger age and had more reasonability with raising a family and providing food and clothes for their family. Today we have a little more time to go into adulthood. We have to continue school and get a better education to find a good career then after that they try to settle down and find someone to start a family with. I Think it a good thing that we now try to better educate ourselves more and have a career instead of a job before we try to settle down and raise a family, I know that are many people are doing at the same time, but back then they did not have that option I choose this article because I think it really good to see how far we came from back then to now when concerning adulthood. I liked this article also because it came with charts and statics. There was a statics that

Some of the threats to validity include obtaining an ideal sample of individuals in the population of interest. For example, my study question of “What is the association between low levels of vitamin D and depression?” must contain a sample of the representative population that is of geographic interest to the researchers. While a substantial number of persons have low vitamin D levels in the United States (33%), sex, age, race and ethnicity play a role in maintaining healthy vitamin D levels (CDC…

Psy 270 Week 6 Floor Case Manager

Our main goal is to remain as professional as possible. Giving an example to a similar situation to help the client, is not a bad decision. It helps the client understand that we have all been in a similar situation at some point in time. Doing this action help show empathy and understanding. However, we have to limit how much we share with the client. Detailed facts about our lives must stay confidential from the client. The client does not need to know everything about us. They just need to know…

Psy 270 Week 6 Critical Thinking Case Study

1. Consider how a mental health diagnosis could be beneficial to a client. What might be potential harm from a diagnosis? Providing a diagnosis can be a relief for some and burden for others. Finally having a reason for something is beneficial because it typically will explain many why’s in that person’s life. Since most people do not or will not ever exhibit every symptom associated with the given disorder harm can present itself by way of the client “developing” every symptom. 2. Explain…
