  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   The important conflict in The Red Badge of Courage is Henry Fleming's fear about how he will perform in his first battle.   There are three people who expressed their ideas about their fears before the first skirmish.   They are Henry Fleming, Tom Wilson, and Jim Conklin.      Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Henry is worried about how he will do in this first battle.   He isn't sure if he will run or not, and he is scared that he might.   He doesn't want to look like a fool and run, but he is also scared of getting killed. Even though Henry never expressed his fears to Tom Wilson or Jim Conklin the audience could tell by the expressions on his face that he was scared. While he was writing a letter to his parents he writes about how he is going to fight for the first time and he wants to make the proud.   After Henry runs away from the first battle he feels embarrassed because he didn't have a wound.   No one knew he ran so he still had his pride and after that his attitude changed and he began fighting with no fear.      Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Tom Wilson is another young sodier in the 304th regiment who is called the loud soldier.   When he is in the tent talking to Henry and conklin he talks about how he will not run and take on the whole army on by himself. When he is in the first battle he tries to run but is caught by an officer and made to go back and fight.   His attitude changed from being confident to being scard of fighting.      Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Jim conklin is also a soldier in the 304th regiment who talks with Henry and tom.   When Conklin was talking to Henry and Wilson about how they felt about fighting their first battle, he says that he will run if he sees everyone else running.   He is the only one to admit to everyone that he is scared about fighting.   He is also the only one not to run away from the first battle even though other people were.   When Henry sees him walking in the road after the war he has been shot and is hurt bad.   Jim is afraid of lying in the road and being run ober by the artillery wagons.

The Biopsychosocial Perspective Of Breast Cancer.For The

The Biopsychosocial Perspective of Breast Cancer For the majority of time, the biomedical model has been the main focus on many health factors and diseases, including cancer. Recently, psychologists have been able to prove the psychological and social components of disease. This has forced Doctors, who once relied solely on the biological factors of disease to take a more holistic approach. To help demonstrate the biopsychosocial model of cancer, I will be focusing on breast cancer and it’s risk factors. I will be discussing the effects of race/ethnicity, stress, and genetic factors on the occurrence and recovery of people who suffer from breast cancer. Stress has long been perceived as a social factor that contributes to†¦show more content†¦In Summation, there were 373,563 women identified to meet the criteria of invasive breast cancer and used in the study that consisted of 268,675 non-Hispanic white; 34928, Hispanic white; 38751, black; 25211, Asian; and 5998, oth er ethnicities (Iqbal, Ginsburg Rochon, 2015). The results of the study concluded that black women were more likely to be diagnosed beyond stage I and to die from cancer during the time period of the study when compared with non-Hispanic white and Asian Women. Socioeconomic status, access to health care and adherence to cancer treatment all played significant roles in the survival rates in patients (Iqbal, Ginsburg Rochon, 2015). Hispanic women tended to be diagnosed after stage I due to lack of cancer awareness among the ethnicity. Dietary factors associated with ethnicity also seemed to play a role in the less aggressive breast cancers and higher host response exhibited in Asian women. Statistically Hispanic white populations eat a diet much richer in fats and sugars than those of Asian descent. This has proved detrimental in the survival rates of breast cancer, as a body mass index of 40 or higher, was associated with an increased risk of mortality in Hispanic breast cancer suf ferers (Iqbal, Ginsburg Rochon, 2015). While there are several biological factors that have the ability to lead to cancer, genetics is the most currently researched. A study done by Bharaj, Scorilas, Giai and
