Case Vignette: Which Trauma based disorder (Posttramatic stress disorder (PTSD), Acute stres disorder (ASD) or adjusment disorder is Bethany and Charles each suffering from and why? Dignosis Bethany and Charles and use symptoms from the case vignette (story below) to supportthe dignosis.

Bethany Pinsky, age 23, has gone to a theater to see the local premiere of a big-budget movie. As she settles into her seat, waiting for the show to begin, a young man in a ski mask suddenly appeared in front of the screen. Brandishing an assault rifle, he fired directly into the audience. She saw many people get shot, including the woman sitting next to her. People all around began screening, and there was a confused stampede for the exit door. Terrified, she somehow fought her way to the exit and escaped, uninjured, to the parking lot, where police cars were just arriving.

Charles Quigley, age 25, went to the same movie theater at the same time. He too feared for his life. Hiding behind a row of seats, he was able to crawl to the aisle and quickly sprint to the exit.   Although covered in blood, he escaped without physical injury.

Bethany, Two Weeks Later

Bethany comes to see you. She has not recovered 2 weeks later. She feels emotionally constricted, and unable to experience pleasant or positive feelings. She jumps at the slightest sound, she is unable to focus on her work and her sleep has been fitful and marked by traumatic nightmares. She has tried to avoid any reminders of the shooting but nevertheless relentlessly recalls the sounds of gunfire, the screams, and the sticky feel of the blood pouring out of her neighbor's chest in the movie theater. She feels the experience has changed her life forever.

Charles, Two Months Later

Charles comes to see you as he has been having a difficult time sleeping and concentrating. He feels like he wasn't impacted as much as others by the event but continues to think about the shooting. He finds himself sad at times and easily cries. He feels his heart rate increase and becomes slightly nervous at a loud sound. He feels anger towards others who tell him that they understand how he feels. When asked about his job and personal relationships, he states that he has been able to keep his job. However, he is afraid he may get fired soon as his performance at work has been poor due to his inability to concentrate. His girlfriend tries to help him but he feels she can't understand his pain since she wasn't there. She has noticed his low energy and feeling of hopelessness lately and suggested that he see someone.

I have heard of the AARP before but I had not really done much research on it. The AARP stands for: American Association of Retired Persons and was founded in 1958 by Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, which that is the first thing I did not know. I had never looked at this website before and did not know there was so much information on it. I did not know there were so many links and articles you could look at. When I clicked on Family and Friends, the first thing I saw was bold letters saying "New help for Grandparents raising Grandchildren" and I think something like this would be very helpful because I think today so many grandparents are raising their grandchildren. I also did not know this website has technology information. I also clicked on a tab that said 8 rules for new caregivers. 1 Start with candid conversation 2. Set your priorities 3. Build a support network and many more. When I clicked the tab "Health" there were many different links about care giving. I read that cancer comes with a 69 percent five-year survival rate, which increased from 49 percent in 1975. I also learned that AARP Foundation Experience Corps change lives of over 31,000 children by helping them become better readers.

Where we are located within the economic class hierarchy strongly affects how we are perceived and how we feel about ourselves.

Think about and discuss what economic class you/your family fall into. How has being a part of this economic class affected how people have perceived you or your family and how do you think this economic location has affected you or your family.

Why is a class so important in American society?

How can your social class impact opportunities and advantages for the future?

I have heard and know a little bit about AARP and know it is for people aged 50 and older and stands for American Association of Retired Persons. Although I have never gone to the website or researched anything about it, there is a lot of information. The first piece of information I learned was there was a link to help for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. There is legislation that will provide information about services for families, with more focus on those impacted by the opioid crisis. I learned under the Personal Technology tab that an iPhone update will speed emergency response so that 911 callers can be tracked more quickly. Under the Home tab, there was a link with an article about inheriting a home and what you need to do next and make sure it isn’t a money pit. I also learned that the veterans suicide rate as rose over the last decade and that veterans are nearly twice as likely as nonveterans to commit suicide. I also learned what one couple who has been married for 75 years says is the success of marriage. The couple says that it is important to be nice to one another, make each other laugh, never go to bed with a grudge and always kiss each other goodnight. Lastly, I also read about how the AARP Foundation Experience Corps also helped 31,000 children to become better readers. There is a lot of useful and interesting links and information on the website.

In the article “A Scientific Argument for the Existence of God,” Collins considers three possible theories in light of the apparent “fine tuning” of the universe: the atheistic single-universe hypothesis, the atheistic many-universes hypothesis, and the theistic hypothesis. He then argues that the third hypothesis is far more probable than either of the first two. Are you convinced by Collins’s argument? Why or why not?
