Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Spastic cerebral palsy is by far the most common and is present in approximately 75 percent of all children with cerebral palsy. Spasticity is described as a velocity-dependent resistance to passive movement. This means that the faster you pull against a muscle, the harder it resists or pulls back. Spastic cerebral palsy is divided into diplegic, hemiplegic and quadriplegic/tetraplegic types. Diplegia shows an involvement of legs more than the arms and is the most common type of cerebral palsy. Many times the arms do not seem involved but exhibit at least small deficits in function. Hemiplegia is involvement of the arm and leg on the same side. Classically the arm is more involved but sometimes they seem equally involved. Quadriplegia or tetraplegia is involvement of both arms and both legs, generally worse in the legs than in the arms. In spastic cerebral palsy there are generally signs of upper motor-neuron involvement with increased muscle reflexes, upgoing toes and persistence of primitive reflexes such as the Moro response

The Fight

The heart wants to love
yet we hate
The heart wants to understand
yet we are confused
The heart wants equality
yet we try to dominate one another
The heart wants peace
yet we fight
The heart wants to give
yet we are greedy
The heart wants to help
yet we destroy
The heart wants to care
yet we are insensitive
The heart wants to fight
yet we fell
If only the heart was a little stronger
it could and would be successful

Domestic Violence

Unfortunately, domestic violence is common in teen relationship. It is estimated that 25% of women and 8% of men in the United States have been physically and or sexually abused by intimate partner at some point in their adult lives. The abuser uses fear and intimidation to gain power and control over the other person. It stats with jealousy or possessiveness.

After the relationship becomes more serious, the abuser may begin making threats, name- calling and slamming doors or breaking dishes. 85% of domestic violence victims are women. People who witness domestic violence when they are children are at high risk for being in a relationship as adults. A major health problem that affects the victims of domestic volence is post-traumatic stress disorder. Women are also at high risk for sexually transmitted diseases.

Women who experience domestic violence and more likely to smoke or abuse alcohol. If you are a victim take steps to decrease your risk of injury, such as memorizing phone numbers you can in an emergency and teaching your children not to get in the middle of a fight. It is also very common for the women to blame herself. Some sings of domestic violence are your panter making all the making all the decisions in the relationship. Domestic volence is not good thing so don't put yourself in a relationship that you know is not going to work.

Judgement

Matthew 7 chapter 1 verse state "Judge not they ye but not judged." Many people are judged because of their ethnicthy, sexuallity, religion and physical apperance.

People have been criticize for thier ethnicity since the begin of time. Slavery is a prime example of people being criticize for the color of their color of their skin. African Americans such as Fredrick Douglas and Harriet Tubman decided to stand up for what they believe was right. Fredrick Douglas who was a lecture for the Massachusetts Ant-Slavery Society. He published his own newspaper, "The North Star." Harriet Tubman led the Underground Railroad. Both of them decide to stand up for what they believe was right. If they have not done so people of color wouldn't have a voice. Even today with a voice minorities are judge by their skin and their dialect. Which sometimes leds to racial profiling.

I know people who are judge just because they are attracted to the same sex. Some of them are looked at differently by their own family members because of their lifestyle. People who choose this lifestyle are not generally accepted by society. Often they are victims of violent hate crimes. An ethical stand point is people have a right to express themselves.

Another issue that surrounds the topic of judgement is religon. Many people have been judge by their religion.Even if they are Christians, Catholic, Jewish or Muslims. This is why we have Holy Wars, The Holocaust and a violation of a culture in the name of Christianity who were as the Navtive Americans An ethical stand point of view is that we can choose their own religon. an unethical stand point is religion should not be force upon you.

The main reason we are criticize is by our physical appearances I have been looked at differently because of my physical appearance. My family and friends believe I won't make it because of my inability to walk. No one should be criticize for any reason because everyone is someone important in this world.

"No matter big or small, short or tall, white black, Jewish or Christian the impotant thing to remember we are all unique individuals and the judgemental people are the ones who fail to realize it."

Hope

I have been talking to two wonderful people who have look pass my physical features and got to know as a person. i have open myself up to both of them. I Know that my feelings for one of them is deep and strong and this person knows it. I feel like all of this is just a dream.

The only thing I can do is keep the faith and hope for the best. Am glad that I had the honor of meeting them.
