Moral Panic and Juvenile Panic
Moral panic is the term used to refer the instance of a case of anxiety to the civilians in reaction to a problem that is considered a threat to the ethical values of the society. The full spread fear is characterized by irritation and moral standards threatening regarding community’s interest and the safety of the public. It is substantially created by the social media, stimulated by the politicians and the end this results to the generation of new policies focus towards the instantaneous source of distress. Hence, there is increasing social control in the society, and the panic’s impacts can be positively experienced in the society. Moral panics have been experienced there before, and it significantly shapes people’s perception and understanding of juvenile and juvenile delinquency. Juvenile delinquency is the act of committing criminal offenses by the young people who are under the age of ordinary prosecution. In this paper, the effects of moral panic in determining society’s point of view towards juvenile misbehavior are expounded into a more profound extent.
Moral panics have played a significant role interpreting juvenile and the youths’ behavior not only in today’s society but also during the old days of the nation’s history. Fear is a great enemy of the social cognitive and sound decision making that affects every person especially the children who are growing and developing their characters. It is normal that under pressure and panic ones thinking capacity about decision making is interrupted and affected to a significant effect. During the old days, the energetic people were subjected to threats to provide labor resources to their lords. Therefore, they felt offended, hence the development of anxiety and need to be free leading to juvenile delinquency in the process. In many instances, they tend to use force or try to use fishy deeds which are against the law.
For instance, considering the case of gunfire in the learning institutions, a moral panic has dramatically contributed in regarding juvenile as an unethical and unprincipled group. The shootings led to the death of fellow students as well as tutors as the college people had the authority to carry handguns to school. It has also extended to the cities neighboring learning institutions reaching to the towns and the countryside parts. The fear is not only affecting the students and learning institution’s staff but also the parents and society at large. Therefore, they take the juvenile as eroded of manners and indiscipline people who can to be trusted on ethical matters. Not all of the youths are such even though there was a number of them who tend to take advantage of the freedom granted. To cope up with the fright, the raised significant actions such as prohibiting possession of hand weapons in class and legal penalties against the victims.
On the other hand, the actions are taken against a juvenile in the name of preventing juvenile delinquency results to moral panic. The youths are at many times under the fear that if found doing any irregularity the next action will be a harsh punishment that can be a serious as long-term imprisonment. Therefore, this generated fear influenced their spirit of being innovating and the way of doing things as at all the times they are anxious about the penalty that may follow. They have a role to play in the society but not causing moral panic to the civilians. The public fear about juvenile misconduct and the actions partaken has positively lead to a decrease in cases of juvenile crimes. The best way to completely eradicate the immoral activities is through adopting strategies that will not influence the youths’ way of doing things but dealing with the specific individual involved in the act.
The people will at all the time judge the juvenile according to their behaviors, and in many instances, the young people have a collective behavior due to peer pressure and interactions influence. Currently, many current moral waves of panic are primarily used to the belief of juvenile behaviors. Among the common one is involvement of immoral acts in establishing instant riches with the desire to have high living standards at their tender age. Among these unethical activities include drug trafficking, burglary and adopting evil beliefs that promise great things at a price. It is very disheartening that the outfit of a young person who tends to copy the modern fashion may result in misinterpretation as a drug peddler. The society has a common belief that these peddlers have a kind of unique outfit based on their way of dressing and shaving among many other characteristics. The juvenile is growing and like following the trending fashion, and at instances, the society’s perspective does not determine who they are and their deeds.
The thought-provoking thing is that the moral panics shape peoples’ belief on the subjects even when the official statistics contradict the perception put forward by these moral panics. The reason behind this is that people are complex and it is difficult to convince them that the thing they believe in through their observation or experience is wrong. The statistics done through research takes into consideration all the juveniles in the nation or a certain part of is not the case with individual experience. For instance, one cannot change the mentality of a person who had faced a threat from a juvenile that they are morally upright. Change is inevitable, and it is every person’s responsibility to take part in shaping the behavior of the juveniles as they are the future elders and rulers of the nation.

Night of the Living Dead
According to many reviews, this movie is one of the best productions in the American film industry. It exhausts almost all areas perfectly: the film language, mise en scene, artistry, adaptation of other media, and subjective assessment definitions and usage show clearly.
Film language, though this film is an ancient production, the language displayed shows modernity. The effects and features of the movie show some modernity usage n them. The film displays rich work of horror cinema. It contextual purpose definition clearly manifest itself and by this and is highly recommended for Halloween viewing.
Mise en scene: this is the type of frame used, motion direction, editing techniques, and stylistic usage among other features. Frame used, the film mostly uses point of view frames, long shorts, and close up frames in most of its scenes. The angles of projection usage also include both high and low level angle projections depending on the scenes and background settings. Because of the western tradition the film uses right to left screen movement, this comes out perfectly.
The editing techniques in this film shows modernity use and good or well calculated editing hence the editing is excellent. The film shows use of visual poetry and poetic like conversations. The conversations are appealing and keep one attentive throughout the film. It also uses music and soundtracks in the film background this bring out the theme, mood, and atmosphere of the events taking place. For instance, on the night when the zombies attacked the sound track playing on the background signifies sad and dull mood.
Artistic style, this is the sum of constant, recurring, or coherent traits identified with a certain individual or group of people. It is one unique way of identification. In this film, the producer uses a combination of mediums, techniques, and subject matter, which works out positively for the production as the movie, hence its consideration as successful. Despite the movie being on a traditional set, the production brings out unflinching realism and pioneering penchant for unadulterated and gruesome distinct effects. It removes any trace of gloss and glamour, has comfortable resolution allowing the audience to have comfortable night sleeps. The costumes used however, do not concur with the theme and mood in the film. The production uses proper colour combinations to show the mood and the theme, in most scenes or background settings, darkness usage signify horror and fear. This works out well in fulfilling the film’s theme and mood since most of the time people associate darkness with fear. The zombies also attack mostly during the dark and most of the hide in dark areas.
Adaptation of another medium or historical, this film borrows the sound tracks and music used in it from the library of WRS studio. The production purchased most of music and sound effects used from capitol studio, none of them were an original composition for the movie.
Subjective assessment, the production team is successful in achieving their aim with the production of this movie. The film budget was 114000 US dollars, and it worldwide gross income was 30 000000 US Dollars according to box-office ratings. This shows that its reception was a success many people purchased the film. The hype it received from the media was overwhelming many people also criticised that film in terms of the contents. The critics claimed that the film contained x rated or explicit adult contents. Generally, the director of the film is successful. This is evident from the films achievement.

Acute Tubular Necrosis
A lady in her mid-40s was admitted to the emergency room. She had been involved in road carnage. She had suffered abdominal injuries, and her femur was fractured. Surgery was the first thing she done because her liver had been lacerated and her ileum perforated. Two blood units were transfused during surgery, and other two while in the recovery room. While in the surgical intensive care, she developed a transfusion reaction that led to the discontinuation of the transfusion. Her laboratory result during the day of surgery showed decline in urine output to 10-20ml/hr, an elevation in urinary sodium, levels of serum creatinine of 4mg/dl and BUN levels of 70mg/dl. Her output of urine never improved upon administration of plasma expanders.
On the third day her urine output stabilized at levels of 20-25ml/hr. this was a clear sign of acute tubular necrosis (Fogo, 2006).
Serious hypertension (BP 190/120) combined with hyperkalemia called for hemodialysis by the use of an external cannula. The patient was then counseled and all the questions she had answered. Fluid replacement therapy was started on the patient. Sterility of dressing was maintained during change of dressings, bleeding was monitored and any signs of infection were monitored. Antibiotics were also administered appropriately (Schumacher & Chernecky, 2010). The patient slowly recovered and after one month she was allowed to go home having fully recovered from the acute tubular necrosis but still nursing the other injuries. She was given an appointment to come for further check-up after a month.
