Final Reflection on wronfully accused prisoners

In retrospect to my essential question, what can be done about prisoners who are wrongfully accused?, I have learned a lot of different things in the world of the law and how it works. I also feel that I am confident to answer my essential question with no problems because throughout my research I felt that I've found out everything I needed to know. I've learned how the system doesn't control the police, the police controls the system and that is just not right. But there is one thing that I did not learn yet and that would be why does the system work the way it does. I've had many successes and many failures in the journey of my research. The successes in my research was finding the things that may have tend to answer my essential question. My failures were trying to find a specific way to answer my essential question and how hard it was to find things for my topic.

The things that I might do with this new found information about Wrongfully Accused Prisoners is probably tell a lot more people what is really going on and what people are doing about this and how people feel about nobody doing anything about this. I also might want to write articles about this topic because there are a lot of statements to be shared to the world and they need to know how it is possible for them to fix this problem. So in retrospect to what can be done about prisoners who are wrongfully accused? is that people need to think about this and see if they can help out, because your opinion can make a very very very big difference to this problem.

My Reflection on Schizophrenia

Finding the answer to my question was a bit difficult.How to help people cope with Schizophrenia?I searched the web day by day for answers. I never knew the internet had so much good info. about everything in the world.I went to a lot of different websites to find my answer but I finally found it at Schizophrenia/blogs.com.I read some of the comments that was posted on The Wife of a Schizophrenic.The wife's husband killed some one and they are trying to make a sentence for him.Some people think that a disorder is not a reason to kill or comment a crime.Others think he shouldn't get any time but most of them think he should.I think he should get time but not in a jail.He should be in a psychiatric home and try to get help.
I learned that Schizophrenia is not a disease it is a disorder.Schizophrenia and other serious brain disorders are an extreme challenge not onlyfor the person afficted,but for the entire family.Schizophrenics should go to support groups to cope with there disorder.There families should help more and do more for them.Help schizophrenics make a blog on the internet about there disorder it may help them deal with the disorder.Significant research has shown that there are psychological and social factors that are strongly linked to increased risk of schizophrenia. A study completed last summer looked at the incidence of schizophrenia in the pacific islands of Micronesia and found significant variation in the rates of schizophrenia.The main difference between a man’s brain and a woman's brain has to do with how certain structures and circuits treat emotion. These structures and circuits are usually more elaborate in a woman’s brain. Mendrek wanted to know how a schizophrenic’s brain would react to certain emotional stimuli.
This is what I learned on my search how to help others cope was the disorder Schizophrenia.

Not all people are innocent but get away

Not all people are innocent but get away with their crime. This is the major problem that the law has to fix. What I mean about how guilty people get away with something is that as soon as they get in front of the police they tend to change their attitude, and also their looks on their faces. It seems to me that that is a clue that the person is putting on a front and faking their innocence. Their is no way I am going to be able to fall for that. The law system in society is not the only way of finding guilty and innocent people, there is also the law system inside of school and inside of home. There are a lot of students in school that create lots and lots of trouble and other students get blamed for it. They either get yelled at, get suspended, or even get detention. I've been a suspect in school of being wrongfully accused of something that my own friend did and I was the one to get suspended over some nonsense. I feel that if you don't know anything about what happened don't blame it on a person that you feel created the problem, ask people who were around that seen something. According to parents, it's either go by their law or just get in trouble. I believe that every kid and teen can relate to this. So related to all of these examples, there is somewhere in Cuba called Guantanamo Bay the officers inside of the jail tend to torture the inmates by doing a lot of different things to them from not participating in the doing of drugs to getting sexually abused. Through all of this the officers tend to get away and not get caught in these wrong doings.

Reflection On Abuse

So I'm coming to the end of my research on abuse and I have learned so much about the topic. So while researching I found the answer to my essential question why don't women who are being abused just leave? I had found out as I stated in an earlier post there are many reason why abused women wont leave the relationship. The person maybe afraid to leave because the abuser may have threaten to harm them, there families and property. The major thing that I learned while researching abuse was that there is more then just one type of abuse. People can be abused in many different ways besides physical. This really surprised me that there are many different types of abuse like verbal, emotional,physical or sexual abuse, financial, elderly child , substance, and Internet abuse. During my research I found that abuse also has many different definitions. Abuse can be defined as improper or excessive use of treatment, physical maltreatment.(Types Of Abuse Hidden Hurts). I am not surprised that a person who is being abused may take a bad path in life like taking drugs, drinking alcohol, also it can cause mental health, depression, and anxiety. They do these things to help them escape from the pain at times not realizing that this is not helping there problems and that it may make things worse. I also found that there are many places willing to help a person who is being abused the person just has to be willing to take the help. I have came to the conclusion that a person being abused also wont leave because once the abuser has gone in there calm phase they feel sorry for what they have done and buy gifts or do something special to try and make for what they have done. There is a cycle in an abuse relationship tension building, explosion phase, then the calm stage.(Eilliot.P)

No one deserves to be abused. I learned that sometimes men abuse women due to simple matters like dinner wasn't ready(Witter, Jim). This is no reason for a person to strike another person.Elliot, P. (1996). Shattering Illusions: Same Sex Domestic Violence in Rezette and Miley (eds.). Violence in Gay and Lesbian Domestic Partnerships. New York: Haworth Press.

My Final Reflection On Private Practice.

There are many answers to my essential question, going to college would be the very first task I would have to complete. For at least three years I would have to work under a certified therapist. After, I do that I can become an licensed social worker. During this project I've learned many things, like how much knowledge I have to know in order to start one, the advantages and disadvantages, and the various steps I would have to take. Through the duration of this search there have been some surprises, for instance how much money I can seek from various companies and the government to help me with my practice. I also was surprised to find out about all the documents I need to have and my annual income depending on how much I charge per session and my other expenses.

My search have been successful, because it answered all of the questions I've had about the procedures and what I need and what I need to know for a private practice. With this information I can let my classmates know when I do my presentation and also whoever curious about this topic. When I get ready to open up my own private practice this information will also be helpful to me.

Ending my search of Schizophrenia

How can I help people cope with Schizophrenia?You have to treat them the way you want to be treated.Schizophrenic need there space.But try to help them out when ever you can.Make sure if you live with one make sure they take there meds.I talked to my stepfather's dad which was diagosed with schizophrenia when he was in his mid 20s.I gave him a little personal interview.I asked him how do he want to be treated.He told me that he hate people that act like he cant do for hiself like his daughter.He just wish he could be like everyone else.He cant get a job or anything.I feel that people with the disease should be able to work because thats only making the person with the disease feel worthless.
As I was searching the web for how to help others cope with schizphrenia, I came across a website called Schizophreics.healthdiaries.com. They had blogs from peoples families members that have to deal with the health problems of there families.A man named Charles whoes son has paranoid schizophrenia.he tryed to kill his family and the social service people.He in rehab right now but he still is a threat to himself and others.Charles says he is trying his best to cope and love is son to the best ability but times get real hard for him.

Concluding......The Wonderful World of Technology

Overall, There are many ways to communicate over the computer. You have to ask yourself in what ways do you communicate over the computer now, do the research just as I did, and see which one you enjoy doing the most (the one you'll pick over all the other ways). To me instant messaging would have been the best way to communicate with someone when your far away from them. I have learned alot doing this research and have also begin to use more ways to communicate with others. Some people may like more than one way to communicate. Like I like yahoo for instant messaging and emailing, but when it comes to chating with friends and just looking at peoples pictures and reading their thoughts I would like myspace over all other ways to use the computer. Depending on your usage of the computer would depend on the chating site or search engine you would like better for a certain task. After being introduce to this fantastic chating program, (instant messaging), I now know what to use when I go off to college in a different city. Its not so much far away like japan but its a start to a whole new chating world away from family and friends. I dont know much about it just yet cause im a beginner, but for the next couple of months I would be loaded with knowledge about instant messaging!

The Wonderful World or Technology

After being introduced to some of the few ways to communicate over the computer, i've completed my search for the answer to what would have been the best way to communicate with friends and family over the computer completely far away. I came up with the answer that instant messaging would be the best way, because it is a quick way to message someone and get a message back instantly hey its "instant messaging". Now i've never instant messaged until recently and I enjoy doing it, but it's a fact that this instant messaging thing got alot of people hooked. But after taking tallies i've discovered that all people just aren't always into the same things. The few ways iv'e thought of are all used in different ways for different things, which i think is a good thing for this world today.

I did my own research and i feel that myspace would not be the best way to communicate with people when you are far away. Myspace is for setting up your own page for the public to view. You can communicate with people on this site, but you have to already have their email address or you'll just have to hope they have a myspace and find them on somebody else friend list ("Myspace Homepage").

Yahoo is good for finding out information on the past, and the present. It's a very good site for finding research on people, places, and things. On Yahoo there is also a good way for messaging people through email. To me yahoo emailing is for bussiness and information. You may give your yahoo email address to a company or college, request for information, and be able to message that company or college back for more information. Last but not least, goggle is another way i thought of for communicating. I have never used goggle before for communicating, but it was something i thought of to look into. Goggle is for creating your own web address for gmail, not for so much of communicating. ("Yahoo Homepage").

These website are all important to people in their "computer life"

Another way of finding evidence

So far it just seems like my research is just getting harder and harder every time I begin to start searching. It's beginning to feel like I'm not making any progress looking through Google, Yahoo, and Wikipedia. Until I found a story that explains how a Legislature is trying to create a new bill in Utah to prove that there is other evidence to prove that someone is innocent before they have to spend years in jail because of a false accusation. Usually to find out if a person is innocent they have to run DNA tests to see if that particular person was falsely accussed and proven innocent and this takes a long time so the innocent person will be in prison or jail for a while. This relates to the Anthony Capozzi and Altemio Sanchez story of being the bike path rapist. With this new bill it doesn't have to only be DNA tests to find evidence, it can just be a simple statement or statements that a witness can say to prove that someone can be innocent. But what I am saying about this is, how come no one thought about this earlier? I don't know but it's a good thing that someone thought about it now before it was to late (yeah right).

Different Types Of Abuse

The more that I research the more info I find that is very interesting. I found that there is more than one type of abuse. Physical abuse which is any act of violence on the victim and can include slapping, kicking, shoving, choking, pinching, forced feeding, pulling hair, punching, throwing thing, burning, beating, use of weapons, physical restraint, and reckless driving. Another form of abuse would be sexual abuse which involves excessive jealuosy, calling you sexual derogatory names, forcing unwanted sex acts, forcing you in to prostitution. One kind of abuse that goes unseen is emotional abuse. Even the victim does not recognize that she is being abused. Emotional abuse damages your self-esteem.It is cruel and damages your soul.Physical or sexual abuse is accompanied and also follows emotional abuse. Another abuse wuld be verbal abuse which includes yelling or shouting, making threats, insulting you or our family, being sarcastic or mocking about or criticising your intrest, opinions, or beliefs, humiliating you in private or around company. The final type of abuse is financial abuse . Financial abse can take many forms, from denying you all access to funds, to make you soely responsible for all finances while handling money irresponsibly himself. Money bcomes a tool by which the abuser can furthe control he victim, ensuring either her financial dependence on him, or shifting responsibility of keeping a roof over the families head onto victim while simultaneouslydenying your ability to do or obstructing you. Finacial abuse can also prevent you from getting a job, denying you sufficient housekeeping, having to accout for every penny spent, putting bills in your name.(Types Of Abuse Hidden Hurts)

Steps For Getting Clients For A Private Practice

Well once again I've been looking for research on this project, but unfortunately I haven't had as much success on the topic I'm covering today. In this blog I'm writing about the steps I would have to take inorder to get clients for my private practice. My source for this topic was my aunt, an Social Worker working for the East Ferry Dentention Center. Just the other day I decided to call her and ask her somethings about what steps I can take in order to get my own clients.

The first step of getting clients is networking, which means doing advertisment, I can also start by handing out business cards.But before I do that I would have to do an internship and work under an certified therapist for at least three years. Working for this therapist I would gain more knowledge and become known in the social work area. The therapist can recommend people to my business, and also I can introduce myself to big businesses letting them know my experience and they can also send me clients and refer people to me.

Recommendations from other clinicans are very important and it says a lot. Their letting people know about my judgement, and character, the recommendations also says how much of an hard worker I am.

The Wondreful World of Technology

After expriencing the yahoo chating, I went along and took a different approach. I went back to yahoo and myspace, and ask people around my age what ways do they use to communicate over the computer. The most response i got back of course was myspace, and I had a feeling it was going to happen. I then knew what time it was, it was time to go to an older group of people. Alot told me myspace but I also got different responses as will. Some of the answers was goggle, some were yahoo also, but out of the three instant messaging was the best for communicating. Now that I have an instant messenger I love it because its fun to message somebody and receive a message back really quick.

Goggle is another way of communicating but in a very different way. I never used goggle for anything other than a search engine, until I got a goggle account for a school project. Google isn't a site for communicating with just friends, but to the public. I have a goggle account to post blogs on a website that me and a few of my classmates created. I wasn't really into the whole blogging thingy, but i've kinda got onto it the more i do it. Some of my classmates have enjoyed blogging more than others, but its something to learn and get into. Even though it's not a way to keep in touch with a person, it is a great way to get you into expressing how you feel. It can kinda be a public journal, depending on how you use it ("Blogger Homepage").


So different people uses different ways of communicating through advanced technology.

What people think about wrongfully accused inmates

In continuing my research I've found out that I am not the only person who needs to know why there are people in prison that do not need to be there. In other words wrongfully accused prisoners. There was an incident in the state of Illinois where there were over 100 people throwing a rally to release any prisoner who was accused by police because in their minds they believe that they committed the crimes that they were not even part of. One of the people who were in the rally was a women by the name of Virginia Clements, a mother whose son was arrested for something he did not do. He was incarcerated ever since his 27 year old daughter was born. Now I feel that there is someone who needs to do something about that and it is wrong for a man to never had seen his daughter be born into the world.

The people who were rallying where also there to stop the death penalty, especially for the wrongfully accused inmates. In this story of the rally there are other different stories of prisoners who are in prison for no reason because police are in such of a hurry just to arrest someone just to get a raise in there salary. That doesn't mean just pick someone of the streets that looks like they can cause trouble, just do what a police officer should do and protect and serve. This is another way that you can be wrongfully accused and it's just not right. Something needs to be done and I want to be one of those people to do something about it too.

The Road Abuse May Take You Down.

The more I research about abuse the more the topic saddens me. I feel like I can feel my abused friend pain. The pain that her father is given her is causing her to do bad things such as cut her self , drink and smoke constantly. The unhappy home is driving her down a bad paths.I am afraid that if she does not escape she will either be hurt very badly were she would be hospitalized or even beaten to death. If her stepdad cannot controll his anger he should not be in the house hold. I found out that abusers are very needed and controlling.

There are steps that abusers can take that can change there pattern. When you start feelimg angry take deep breaths, focus on your body and walk away. Return once you have cooled down. Start keeping journals when you become angry sit down and writ down your thoughts and feelings. Join an anger management group. Deny that a problem exist. (Mark Evans)

Even though there are many steps that can be taken to stop abusing how do you get the person to follow these steps when they don't realize what they are doing.

The Wondreful World of Technology

I only know the basic part of yahoo, the finding of information. But I have never messaged anyone on yahoo messaging. I have a yahoo account, but I only use it get all information sent to my email address. I think by doing this reseaching project, the best way to communicate with others on chat sites, would also help me learn how to chat with others in different ways other then on myspace. I started my search by seeing which way could I possibly chat with someone on yahoo. I would get my friends email address and send them a message. But this would be my first time doing that because i have never did this before ("Yahoo Homepage")

I also learned that yahoo has a chating system called instant messaging. To me instant messaging is a chating system that allows people to message each other and receive the message back and forth instantly within a second the message is sent. I downloaded the instant messagener by logging into my yahoo account, clicking on the instant message icon, and the downloading began. By downloading the instant messager I would be able to add friends to my buddy list and send them an instant message. I have now learned the another way to chat on yahoo other than just emailing someone, and i think is really cool ("Yahoo Instant Messager")
