1) The Fourth issue I am studying is Depression.
2) "Depression." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 16 Oct. 2015.
3) The central idea of this article is the symptoms and causes of clinical and mild depression. This article also states ways to prevent depression and ways doctors or psychiatrists help heal people with these issues.
4) The roots of the clinical depression are not definitely known and vary from person to person; however, researchers believe depression stems from a combination of biological and genetic factors as well as environment and stress. Just like Mild depression, Clinical depressions causes symptoms like decreased energy, loss of interest in hobbies or activities, irritability and lack of concentration, gain or loss in appetite, insomnia or excessive sleep, feelings of worthlessness or thoughts of suicide.
5) Some questions i would have for this mental illness are, Do other types of medication cause depression in certain individuals? Also, Why are there such horrible side affects of depression? What necessarily goes through the mind of these individuals?
6) Placebo Affect is a word i have trouble grasping the meaning of.
7) In the article they don't use certain words or phrases that help me understand the underlying meaning of this word.
8) A remarkable phenomenon in which a Placebo (a fake treatment, an inactive substance like sugar, distilled water, or saline solution) can sometimes improve a patient's condition simply because the person has the expectation that it will be helpful.
9) One question i can pose to my peers would be, How can you prevent depression in your home environment?

1) The third topic i chose is Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
2) "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 14 Oct. 2015.
3) This article is about how the steady rise of children with ADHD has risen drastically since 1990. The article is also about how doctors aren't properly able to diagnose children due to it being hidden inside the child for a long time. That is why parent and peer observation is important.
4) One fact is that in the year 2000, five separate lawsuits were filed in U.S. courts alleging that the American Psychiatric Association had promoted the diagnosis of ADHD in cooperation with drug manufacturers as a way to make money by prescribing more medication. This proves that ADHD cannot be properly diagnosed. Finally, there is no conclusive test for diagnosing ADHD. Meaning that the doctors never know who really has ADHD.
5) To help further my knowledge i could ask, How else do doctors tell when a Child has ADHD without parent or peer observation? Is there any medication specifically used for individuals with ADHD?
6) Controversy is a word i understand but i can get a deeper understanding of.
7) I already understand this word to a certain extent but if i search up this word i can further my understanding and expand my vocabulary.
8) Controversy is a state of prolonged public dispute or debate, usually concerning a matter of conflicting opinion or point of view.
9) One question i can ask my peers would be, How do you think we could further our knowledge on ADHD?

1) The second topic I choose is Child Abuse.
2) "Child Abuse." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2014. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 14 Oct. 2015.
3) This article discussed that the form of child abuse has changed in the eyes of the population. Physical abuse doesn't qualify as the only form anymore. Mental and emotional abuse is now more common than any other type.
4) The law defined child abuse as “the physical and mental injury, sexual abuse, negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child under the age of 18 by a person who is responsible for the child’s welfare under circumstances which indicate that the child’s heath and welfare is threatened or harmed. Also, Despite the official definition of child abuse, there are various instances in which it is difficult to determine whether abuse has occurred. A major area of debate is whether abuse must involve physical harm. Some people argue that shoving or slapping a child even without causing injury should be considered abuse. People also struggle to define Psychological abuse, debating such questions as whether abusive behavior includes humiliating a child or failing to provide emotional support.
5) What i would like to know more is, What necessarily constitutes as psychological abuse? What actions can we take to prevent such abuse when we do not directly know which child is being abused or not?
6) psychological damage is a word i understand but can get a deeper understanding on.
7) I understand this wording however, I feel I can get a deeper grasp on it if i were to look up the definition or other factual evidence on it.
8) Psychological abuse is a type of damage to the psyche that occurs as a result of a severely distressing event.
9) One question i would have for my peers is, How would you handle this situation if u were involved in it?

1) The topic I chose was Abortion.
2) "Abortion." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2014. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 2 Oct. 2015.
3) The article is mainly about the Ethical debate surrounding Abortions. Also, the article involves the different situations surrounding women getting abortions such as the safety issue.
4) one fact- The most common medical issue associated with abortion is infection, a potentially serious and life-threatening problem.
second fact-Those strongly opposed to abortion call themselves “pro-life,” suggesting that anyone in favor of abortion rights is “anti-life.” Many of those who support the right to have an abortion call themselves “pro-choice,” a term that refers to a woman’s right to choose what she does with her body.
5) Why is there such an ethical debate surrounding abortion? Ultimately if its a persons body, shouldn't they be able to make their own decision?
6) Partial-birth abortion
7) I don't completely understand this term because, partial-birth abortion is a complicated term. There are a lot of ethical debates surrounding abortion and this term confuses me.
8) Partial-Birth Abortion is a procedure in which the abortionist pulls a living baby feet-first out of the womb and into the birth canal (vagina), except for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix (the opening to the womb).
9) What is your view on abortion?
