DateI support the new path in psychiatric diagnosis proposed in the 2010 article. Since there is a I between clinical consensus and clinical neuroscience as far as diagnostic categories, a conclusive stand must be adopted for the sake of the psychiatric discipline. Clinical neuroscience is a relatively new concept and therefore it must be promoted and tested despite any challenges that may arise along the way. I agree that certain psychiatric disorders tend to be predicted genetically and therefore, a neurobiological diagnosis system may prove essential in the long run.
In the 2014 article. Certain arguments I support are made. Precision medicine is an important element that must be adopted if improvements in patient outcomes are to be made. Drugs that are responsive to certain genetic characteristics should be pursued in light of all the genetic knowledge available today. In psychiatry, precision medicine means that more accurate descriptions of symptoms and behaviors can be made and consequently, better diagnosis and treatment of patients. Such improvements would be beneficial to both psychiatrists and patients.

In Researching Conflict, Drama and Learning (pp. 13-42). Springer, Singapore. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-13-5916-3_2This article outlines the major components and causes of a conflict, the different approaches that can be used in a conflict and the whole process of handling a conflict. O’Toole et al. (2019) identifies with the fact that a work place is bound to have conflicts either between the management and the workers or among the workers. Either way, these conflicts need to be resolved for the purposes of teamwork and the success of the whole group. According to this article, some of the reasons as to why conflicts may arise in the workplace includes poor management, lack of a proper communication channel, no clear roles assigned for individuals in the work place, harassment and a non-conducive environment for working.
The article has also discussed some of the approaches that can be used in solving these conflicts include creating a proper channel of communication from the top management to the subordinate workers, prioritizing the conflict and seek to find a solution, developing a plan and following it through, and creating a good working environment for the workers or staff. The whole conflict-handling process will include steps such as taking time to listen to the issues of people at the workplace, talk through the issue directly with the parties involved, avoid pointing out people directly and blaming them and lastly gather information from both sides of conflicting parties and always plan ahead.

In this article, current literature has been examined and the integrated approach of resolving conflicts is being used. Conflict is inevitable in the workplace due to the different cultures, traditions and beliefs that people uphold. This therefore needs quite a good system of management that will oversee the running of the workplace even with these conflicts. A management that is quick to respond to issues before they become problems or conflicts that will be out of hand. The integrated approach identifies communication as the key source of conflict and conflict management and a clear and proper channel of communication to be created. This will be easier for workers to know whom to talk to or who is going to address their issues.
Therefore, gathering information from different managerial personnel it was concluded that communication should always be given the first priority. For instance, the management should be the first to inform the workers of a possible retrenchment instead of rumors going around. It was also discovered that interpersonal communication was the most effective way of handling a conflict between individuals in the workplace. Therefore, this article addresses a number of strategies in communication that could be used to level out conflicts in the work place.
Ma, Z., Lee, Y., & Yu, K. H. (2008). Ten years of conflict management studies: themes, concepts and relationships. International Journal of Conflict Management.
In this research, Ma et al investigates the issue of conflict management for a period of 10 years. This research is mainly based on the journal articles published between 1997 and 2006. Therefore, it is a very wide and inclusive research which involves all the information available about conflict management within that period. During the period which is examined a lot of conflict management styles have also erupted and because of this, a lot of people have embraced some which have worked while others have embraced other methods which never worked and therefore through this source, it is clear which methods have worked and which ones have not. Basically, the research is a summary of conflict management, it not only gives us the methods to use in different circumstances when other methods do not work, it gives us the ability to choose wisely with a wide variety of techniques and knowledge about the rest. Therefore, when choosing the method to use there is a history and a specific record of failure or success got from the different journals analyzed and this makes a company or a person confident that their choice and what they are doing is good.
The article clearly states the challenges which have faced the field of conflict management over time. One of such is the unwillingness of most researchers to publish their work in well known journals. This leaves a lot hidden and not known as some of the best methods of conflict management are left out. The other issue the article states is that companies and organizations are different. Therefore, with the varied structures, company rules and many people to involve solving conflicts becomes a tedious process because of its reliance on so many other parts of the company or organization. Therefore, there is no specific method which works for all.
Date Rape When people hear the word rape they might imagine a stranger
Date Rape
When people hear the word “rape” they might imagine a stranger leaping out from the shadows of a dark alley and attacking someone. Although this is partly true, most rapes are committed by people who know their victims. When intercourse is unwanted and forced upon by someone you know, it is known as “date rape.” It occurs daily and is prevalent on virtually all college campuses across the nation and in cities all over the world.
Date rape generally occurs when a man is alone with a woman. Although it has been reported that men have been raped by women, it is much more common for a woman to be raped by a man. There are several reasons why date rape might occur. Sometimes a man thinks that a woman “owes” him something if he has taken her out for dinner and a movie or if a woman acts in a friendly manner towards him. The presence of drugs and alcohol are also a contributing factor to the occurrence of date rape.
An example of date rape that occurs commonly, especially within a college campus, is when both the man and women are drunk. In an environment such as a college or university, parties are commonplace for students. It is a place where friends can gather, listen to loud music, and get loaded. Typically, a man will coerce a woman back to his apartment or dorm. This is dangerous for both parties. The man may think that the woman is leading him on, that if she agrees to go with him that it is an invitation to have sex. If the female seems to be enjoying kissing or fooling around with the guy, he may think she is teasing him if she decides to stop. The man may feel angry or rejected if this happens, and may want sexual gratification anyway. The result can be rape.
If only the woman is drunk, the man may see this as an opportunity to take advantage of her because she will most likely be less defensive towards him. Some men plan the act of rape, and may use alcohol or drugs in order to lesson a woman’s judgment. In some cases, someone may slip a drug into a women’s drink, causing her to forget what had happened the night before when she wakes the next morning. If a woman is intoxicated and has seemingly consented to having sex, she may feel the next morning that she only acted that way because of the her condition at the time. In a court of law, the man would be found guilty of rape.
Even if substance use is not involved, another factor is mixed signals between the man and the woman. If a woman acts in a friendly or outgoing manner towards a man, he may interpret this as a proposal to have sex. Even if a woman says “no,” the man may think that she is playing hard to get, that the “no” really means “yes.” Some men are sexually aroused when a woman struggles, and may continue in an aggressive no matter what she says to him. This can occur to people who have just met, those who are dating, or even to people who have known each other for years.
There is a thin line between what is known as “mutual consent” and “date rape.” They can be confusingly similar because a women may give consent at the time, but if she is high or drunk, though, she may find the next day that she did want to have sex. It is difficult to say when a woman has given her consent because in many cases, at least one of the people involved is under the influence and cannot give genuine consent. When that line is crossed, it is date rape. Some men feel that just the fact that a woman is alone with him is willing consent to having sex whether she says “no” or not. But the fact is that if she is not sober and in a correct state of mind, she cannot consent to have sex.
There are many contributing factors to the increased date rape that occurs. Alcohol and drugs obviously play a large role. Some may say that women wearing loose or revealing attire is an open invite to men. Others say that pornography desensitizes men to women so that they do not know when a women is or is not willing to have sex. Men who are sexually frustrated often attempt to rape women they know because they cannot get sexual contentment any other way.
Whatever the reasons, date rape is a commonly occurring but very scarcely reported act. It is usually more traumatic to a woman than being raped by a stranger especially if the woman had known or trusted the man before. Date rape is a problem that that involves everyone today, men and women. Date rape prevention programs need to be taught to people everywhere so that women know how to protect themselves and so men can understand the issue of rape and that when a woman says “no,” you must stop. If we can educate ourselves on the dangers of date rape, we can make the environment in which we live safer for everyone.
