Do you learn about mental health disorders in A level sociology?

This is a genuine question, but I was just wondering if you study about how mental disorders are in our societies, in A level sociology.

 I'm asking this question because, I'm really interesting in mental health disorders and I'm taking sociology instead of psychology for A level, so I was just wondering if you do study at least a little bit about mental health issues and how it affects our society.

not really - more likely in psychology

How do i raise my kingdoms well being in the sims medieval?

My sims kingdom has low Well being and I'm tired of disease ridden citizens. How do I raise the well being of the kingdom?

Accept quests that raise well-being (you'll see it on the page that shows you the rewards you'll get from completing the quest). You can also place buildings that raise the limit for how much more well-being points you can gain.

How would you propose a relationship between GDP and economic well being?

How would you propose a relationship between GDP and economic well being? Do you believe our nation could be in a state of economic well being and what measures would need to take place?

The GDP measures the value of goods and services that have been produced within an economy.

The first thing is to make it on an individual basis. 10 people producing $1000 worth of goods are more productive (and richer) hand 100 people producing $1000 worth of goods. To keep things simple, assume that the value of what you produce is also what you earn. So we should consider GDP per capita, rather than GDP per se.

Another issue is for those economies where many people work overseas and send money back home to their relatives, thereby increasing the economic well-being of these relatives at home. Hence we should look at GNP per capital which measures the value of your Nationals.

Now, let's go back to our small economy of 10 people where everyone works and in total $1000 is produced. When I compared that economy with the one with 100 people, I implicitly assumed that in the first case, everyone produced $100 or so (10 people producing $100), and in the latter, each produced $10 (100 people producing $10 each). Since people earn the value of what they produce the argument still holds.

However, imagine that in the 10person economy, one person earns $991 and the rest each earn $1. And what if in the second economy, each person did earn $10. Which economy has higher economic well-being? Of course the person earning $991 is better off than the rest, but in general? Hence we have to look at income distribution.

Once you realise than GNPpc is not the be-all and end all of well being, you would want to extend it to more indicators.

One of the most commonly used ones if the Human Development Index (HDI) used by the United Nations.

Who is obligated to care for the well being of livestock animals?

Is that non-vegetarians' paramount obligation to care for the well being of livestock animals?

If they claim that livestock is created for non-vegetarians, why should the vegetarians desire for love, mercy and compassion for them?

If they feel they have rights to impose cruelty to animals as much as they can, but that is nothing to do with you. Why should you desire for love, mercy and compassion to these animals?

Please explain your question logically!  Are you asking something from vegetarians?  Are you asking the question to non-vegitarians?  Are you saying that if vegetarians don't eat animals - then why should they care how the animals are treated? 

OK, I'll take the first line of the question:  Ultimately the government is responsible for legislating minimum standards of livestock care.  It's got nothing at all to do with vegetarians.  e.g. I worked for the Meat Hygiene Service in Scotland (although I'm an Aussie - and a vegetarian)... they were responsible for creating and enforcing the standards for farming, slaughtering and processing the animals.  The farmers had to comply with these standards, and were subjected to regular inspections.  For example, If the chickens on a chicken farm didn't have enough space to run around, or they were too stressed out at the moment of slaughter, the farm would be shut down until they were back up to compliance.

How do i become a personal fitness trainer?

Hello, I am 15 years old and I am obsessed with fitness and nutrition.I have no idea what to take in high school to become a personal trainer and maybe even a nutritionist. The only thing I am taking in High School now is Food for Fitness and Food and Nutrition. What other things do I have to take to become a future Fitness Trainer.

You'll need to be an experienced athlete yourself (which you probably are, with all the athletic activities you are doing) and you will need to take some courses after you finish high school.

You will need the following:

1. AFAA (Aerobics and fitness association of America)
2. NSCA ( National strength and conditioning association)
3. ACE ( American council on exercise)
4. NASM ( American college of sports medicine)
5. A degree from a post secondary institution in one or more of ( Physiology, exercise science, kinesiology, physical education, sports medicine, fitness management.)
6. Experience (two years normally)

What are the fitness requirements for achieving excellence as a footballer?

I know that a footballer needs to have a very high level of fitness to run around for 90 minutes but could someone explain the fitness requirements?

They do things like run up and down step stairs - in a 10 storey building several times a day as well as rigorous training. There is also sprinting, running backwards and other gruelling training.
