Nervous Breakdown

The Alzheimer disease affects mostly old people but sometimes even adults; it manifests itself as a series of brain modifications which determine several perturbations: thinking, memory, language, mood disturbances. All these disturbances take place gradually and strengthens as the illness advances. The exact causes that determine the Alzheimer disease are still unknown, that is why it can not be prevented or cured. Although, a diagnostic in the first stages and treatment as soon as possible is absolutely necessary for slowing it's evolution.Unfortunately, the number of persons affected by Alzheimer is rising in Transylvania region. I estimated that only 12-15% of the cases are discovered in the early stages. The effect of the illness doesn't just affect the ill one, but all his family. Taking care of someone who suffers from Alzheimer means a lot of effort, because he needs permanently supervision and help in any kind of activity. Moreover, most of the times, the family is notable to take care of the sick person at home, and it has to take him to a residential center. Although, this is not always the best solution, especially that after being institutionalized, they are often having a nervous breakdown and the disease has a bad evolution. The social worker plays a very important role in helping the person who suffers from Alzheimer. The social intervention has to consider not only the specific needs of the ill, but also the family needs and it has to take place in both directions.

This study was undertaken to determine whether families of children with cystic fibrosis were experiencing difficulties in meeting family needs and in maintaining normal family relationships. It was found that families were not deprived of the essentials of living, but they were not able to maintain their usual pattern of family relationships. Time and energy precluded carrying on activities with each other and with the children; and there was breakdown in their ability to communicate adequately between themselves and the children regarding important family issues. In order to preserve the family as a functioning unit, someone has to be concerned about the entire family. Of necessity, the family has focused on the sick child, leaving the physician, the nurse, the social worker and/or the social agencies to help the family refocus on its total situation, rather than just a part of it. Traditionally, the mother takes care of the sick child. It is she who takes the child to the doctor's office and is responsible for carrying out his recommendations. In the care of a CF child, she assumes a heavy burden and frequently is fatigued from this responsibility. Because she is so tired and so occupied, she may misunderstand or distort what she is told by the physician, and may not be able to tell her husband or the children what they need to know in order to participate in family activities and in the care of the CF child. This situation can easily lead to misunderstanding and tension within the family. To avoid this, both parents could be encouraged, at some point, to come together to the physician's office for discussion. Such discussions could lead to more consideration and appreciation being given to each other. It might lessen the tendency for each to blame the other for the child's illness and could avoid the feeling voiced by one mother, "I would like to blow him out of his chair so that he would help me and understand what I go through." We also need to realize that the CF child is frequently aware of the demands he makes on the family. If these demands are not discussed freely, then everyone is caught in a "web of silence" revolving around his own feelings of frustration. This creates a burden for everyone, including the CF child, and if not discussed it can impair the psychological functioning of all members. The CF child needs to be encouraged to participate in his own care program and to assume some responsibilities for himself. He should not reach the age of seven being unable to tie his own shoes or dress himself, as has been observed in some CF children. It would seem feasible, therefore, that the CF child should have an awareness of what is wrong with him, and what his abilities and limitations are. The other siblings should also be given as much explanation as possible because they, too, are part of the family and attention and care is being diverted from them. This explanation could make for more understanding on the sibling's part. While it would still be difficult for him to accept some of the decisions made (such as why the parents could not get home from the hospital in order for him to use the family car for a senior prom), he would know that it was the situation that was causing the decrease in attention and care rather than rejection of him by the parents. In order to give these families as much assistance as possible, the community's resources should be utilized. Frequently, the parents are unaware of these or need encouragement to avail themselves of services. The homemaker service or visiting nurse service could free the family from constant care; the local youth program could be helpful to the siblings in the family, and Family Service Agencies could be used for counseling on family problems. In summary, this study points up the need for the total family to have an understanding and awareness of CF and to share such knowledge with one another; that all problems of the family have to be considered and not just those of the CF child; and that help from other professional people should be utilized along with sources of the community.

DR. RICHARD OLMSTED: I would like to ask both Dr. Green and Dr. Friedman about the matter of the child being in the hospital as opposed to being at home. What effect does this have on the child, and, conversely perhaps, what effect does it have on the parents who are keeping a child who may be close to being terminal at home? Very often we adopt the philosophy that it is better for the child to be at home, but I am sure this creates difficulties for parents at times. DR. Morris Green: We usually assume in this country that terminal care can best be handled in the hospital; however, in recent years we have questioned this concept, and now we like to have as much of this care occur at home as is practicable. In order to do this effectively, however, we should provide the family with supportive services from the hospital, a type of home care program involving the physician, the social worker, and the nurse. With some of our recent patients the nurse has been present in the home at the time of death and has made visits frequently before that time. The hospital physician has also been there. We do not have sufficient data on this, but I think there are many things to be said in its favor. As we are now examining other aspects of hospital care of children, we should also examine this method of terminal care. Is it best for the child to be in the hospital at this time or can he be cared for better at home with supplementary services from the hospital? Certainly I think this is an area in which the personal physician of the family needs to have some support from the community oriented hospital.

Family Survival

Abstract: This article focuses on the discussion of Islamic and economic views on women making a living for families (husbands and children). This phenomenon is already popular in Indonesian society, with many female workers (TKW) making a living or working abroad for the sake of family survival (husband and children), this is also reinforced by soap opera shows on private national television titled “The world is upside down” as a manifestation of the socio-economic facts of the Indonesian family today which is visualized as soap operas. This is a big question mark for socio-economic observers and practitioners of sakinah or Muslim families. In general, the main task of making a family living in Islam is assigned to the man (husband). Although it is justified that women (wives) earn a living (working) to help the family economy if the husband’s income is insufficient for family needs, provided that the woman in work does not bring shame, slander and harm to herself and the continuity of her household, and can maintain her honor by always covering aurat and keep away from things that produce salaries are not halal (haram). So a woman who is a family breadwinner in the view of Islamic economics is permitted, but that as an alternative to maintaining survival and domestic life with her husband and children, also does not violate her nature as a wife and mother for her children. This analysis arises because economic activity is a social activity, so the social is very closely related to the economy, also the Islamic economy and  ocioeconomic family in Islam.

The results of the PISA studies over recent years have revealed the social selectivity of the scholastic education system. Based on my empirical research on families with mentally ill parents, I show how, for the children involved, social exclusion begins before they even start school; how the parents' mental illness is seen to affect the children, and what support the families in question require. This shows how important it is to take family coping situations into account in the educational discourse on the child and youth welfare services and formal education systems.

Status Of Women

Abstract: Traditionally, the role of women was confined to taking care of the family, and they had little or no voice outside that sphere. The intention was that they would bring up children, keep the home, and look after their husbands who were usually the bread-winners. Consequently, a thorough examination of life in the 1920s will provide a degree of perspective on how women could handle and manage the social advances of the times with regard to their free time activities. We will clearly focus on the efforts of such a group of women in order to get their own leisure activities in society. Therefore, what we should explore throughout this paper is the continuous struggle of women in the United States in the 1920s and the following steps they had to take over. By merely skimming through this article, the reader should gain an accurate and concise notion of what these women had to go through in that awkward period in the United States.Keywords: the new woman, flapper rebellion, social rebellion, spare time, modern woman, status of women. Título en español: Norteamericanas y ocio en la década de 1920Resumen: Tradicionalmente, el papel de la mujer en la sociedad se ha visto reducido al cuidado de la familia con escasa o ninguna repercusión fuera del ámbito doméstico. Se suponía que su papel correspondía al cuidado de los hijos y de sus maridos, y a mantener el hogar familiar. Sin embargo, un cuidadoso estudio de la vida en los años veinte nos proporcionará una amplia perspectiva sobre la manera en la que las mujeres manejaron los avances sociales de la época. Intentaremos dar un claro enfoque sobre los esfuerzos de dichas mujeres por obtener su reconocimiento social. Lo que se intentará demostrar será la continua batalla de las mujeres en los Estados Unidos en los años veinte, y todas las dificultades que tuvieron que sortear. Simplemente ojeando este artículo, el publico lector podrá obtener una visión concreta y precisa de la lucha de estas mujeres en esa época desenfrenada en la historia de los Estados Unidos.Palabras clave: la nueva mujer, la rebelión “flapper”, la rebelión social, tiempo libre y ocio, la mujer moderna, el estatus de la mujer.

Ethical Project

The literary projects of the novelists Erico Verissimo and Artur Carlos Maurício Pestana dos Santos, known as Pepetela, affiliate themselves with the tradition of social intervention literature, in the same manner as it was configured in the 20th century, as they comprise an ethical project faithful to their world views and their social and human commitments, which isintensified by the aesthetic project that accompanies it. In this sense, there are ideological and aesthetic affinities between the two novelists with the confluence, on the ideological plane, of the humanist ideology and the social and human commitment that both present in their literary projects, and on the aesthetic plane, of the similarity between the narrative structures of their founding novels (the trilogy O tempo e o vento, by Erico Verissimo, and Yaka and Lueji, by Pepetela), due to the fact that the two writers use common themes and narrative strategies, such as the family saga, metafiction, counterpoint narrative technique and polyphony. Thus, we believe that the ideological affinity between Pepetela and Erico Verissimo led the Angolan writer to incorporate into his literary project some thematic and formal elements used by the Brazilian, according to the concept of intertextuality by Julia Kristeva (1974), who conceives the writing of a literary text as a reading of the preceding corpus. However, the relationship between them is based not only on the similarity in their common traits, but also on the differences that exist between their works and between their literary projects.

Parents totally have crucial role on growing up the character education in family life. From parents, the children learn the way of respecting others, loving to the diversity, respecting differences in point of view and being humble. The Catholic family is a “ecclesia domestica” (family church), the smallest part of the church. Therefore, it is not only a place of the growth and development of the Catholic faith, but also a place of strengthening the values ​​of love according to Jesus ways the eternal Teacher. Character education grows in a family life. From and within the family environment, children learn ethical values, manners, and things that are not desirable in the social environment. Along the times, the challenges of families in educating children increasingly grave. The technology advances have disrupted many dimensions of life, including the warmth in a family life.

Gender Specific

Violence against women (VAW) continues to exist as a pervasive, structural,systematic, and institutionalized violation of women’s basic human rights (UNDivision of Advancement for Women, 2006). It cuts across the boundaries of age, race, class, education, and religion which affect women of all ages and all backgrounds in every corner of the world. Such violence is used to control and subjugate women by instilling a sense of insecurity that keeps them “bound to the home, economically exploited and socially suppressed” (Mathu, 2008, p. 65). It is estimated that one out of every five women worldwide will be abused during her lifetime with rates reaching up to 70 percent in some countries (WHO, 2005). Whether this abuse is perpetrated by the state and its agents, by family members, or even by strangers, VAW is closely related to the regulation of sexuality in a gender specific (patriarchal) manner. This regulation is, on the one hand, maintained through the implementation of strict cultural, communal, and religious norms, and on the other hand, through particular legal measures that sustain these norms. Therefore, religious institutions, the media, the family/tribe, cultural networks, and the legal system continually disciplinewomen’s sexuality and punish those women (and in some instances men) who have transgressed or allegedly contravened the social boundaries of ‘appropriateness’ as delineated by each society. Such women/men may include lesbians/gays, women who appear ‘too masculine’ or men who appear ‘too feminine,’ women who try to exercise their rights freely or men who do not assert their rights as ‘real men’ should, women/men who have been sexually assaulted or raped, and women/men who challenge male/older male authority.
