Franklin Roosevelts New Deal Essays -- American History

It was called "relief." Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal provided relief to millions of Americans who had lost their homes, their jobs, and their hope. Many others felt that the radical new policies of FDR threatened the sanctity of the Constitution and free enterprise. Roosevelt's New Deal policies had many critics but among the most vocal were groups like the American Liberty League and powerful Socialists who argued that the New Deal policies either went too far or not far enough in solving the problems that faced the nation. Roosevelt's critics came from both ends of the political spectrum. The American Liberty League was an opposing group made up of conservative businessmen and corporate leaders. Believing that the free enterprise system was being attacked, they accused Roosevelt of trying to install a dictatorship in place of the federal government. In an excerpt from a 1935 article in Fortune magazine, the Roosevelt Administration is thought to be a government of men and not laws. The author compares Roosevelt to a dictator and calls his theory of federal administration "menacing and dangerous". Another political cartoon printed in the June 1936 issue of Current History, ridicules the Liberty League as being alarmist in accusing Roosevelt of bringing communism into the country. Herbert Hoover, a former president, agreed with the conservative ideas of this group. He disagreed with New Deal Legislation such as the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) or the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA). The basic idea of these New Deal programs was to lower the supply of goods to the current, depressed level of consumption. Under the AAA, the government sought to raise farm prices by paying farmers not to grow surplus crops. Other ... ...ved that Roosevelt did not care about ending poverty, but instead was more concerned about the fortunes of his wealthy associates. Known as being the most dramatic and innovative movement in modern history, the New Deal helped Americans find a new sense of hope for the future that was once thought to be forever lost. Although the New Deal didn't necessarily end the Great Depression, it successfully played a major role in relieving the distress of unemployment and poverty for many. However, it was the first time that government had played such an active role in the nation's economy and because of that many worried about the future of the nation. Some of Roosevelt's experimental programs are still in effect today. Programs such as Social Security, the FDIC and the SEC have become an integral part of society and they play as important a role today as they did in 1935.

Fukushima Earthquake And Tsunami 2011 Essay

In March 2011, Japan was struck by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and a following tsunami. Authorities concluded that the earthquake was the cause of the Pacific plate releasing the friction built up after years converged under the North American plate (as shown in figure 3) along the fault line that lies kilometres away from Japan’s coastline. (Urbano, 2011)This caused the friction to spread through the ground-and what was originally said to be a magnitude 6.6 earthquake through the evaluation of incomprehensive readings from seismometers- shook Japan for over five minutes. The resulting tsunami was triggered by the explosive energy released by the earthquake. However, its damage was minimized by 10m high sea walls and the modeling of buildings along the coast, which had applied various scientific techniques to reduce impact from waves on actual buildings. Macintosh HD:Users:160161:Desktop:Unknown-1.jpeg Earthquakes are a very significant problem around the globe and can cause havoc through towns. The Japan earthquake and following tsunami resulted in 20000 deaths and caused the destruction of entire towns and many coastal areas of the country- the most notably being the TÅhoku region in Honshu. (Pletcher, 2013) A large percentage of the damage and lives lost could have been avoided if sciences techniques in detecting earthquakes- such as seismometers- would have alerted authorities in advance rather than minutes before the earthquake struck, as well as conveyed more accurate readings. Around the globe scientists and organisations have attempted to develop method of detecting earthquakes so that maximum damage can be prevented. Currently, around the globe seismometers, sea walls and building modeling are used to detect earthquakes through the readings of seismic waves. This scientific solution has potential to minimise damage from earthquakes and tsunamis around the globe if implemented correctly and its negatives minimized. The Application of Science To Detect Earthquakes and Consequently Prevent Damage-Seismometers Earthquakes can be detected by measuring the frequency of the seismic waves in a particular area using a scientific device such as a seismometer. Seismic waves are circular waves (see figure 4) created by the back and forth movement that occurs when an earthquake shakes the ground, thus releasing waves. A magnitude 8 or 9 earthquake- like the one in Japan 2011, are caused due to the faster and rapider movement of the ground. This releases a higher frequency of seismic waves that can be detected by scientific instruments like a seismometer-just as they were during the Fukushima earthquake. The science behind the implementation of seismometers in earthquake prone areas such as Japan is that they use the basic principal of inertia to detect seismic waves in the earth’s surface. They consist of a ground motion detection sensor and a recording system. In a simple seismometer’s detection system, a weight and a spring are suspended from a frame that moves along with the earth’s surface. As the earth moves, the relative motion between the weight and the earth, which is caused by seismic waves is measured by the recording system which consists of a rotating drum attached to the frame, (as shown in diagram 1) and a pen attached to the mass. This pencil moves along with the weight and the spring, leaving lines along the drum, which can be interpreted into determining the frequency of seismic waves and the magnitude of the coming earthquake by authorities.(Braile, 2000)Modern seismometers are electronic, and instead of using a pen and drum, the seismic activity generates an electrical voltage that is recorded by a computer. The reason why Japanese authorities and other nations around the world choose this science to help detect earthquakes is because it allows them to determine before hand when an earthquake is going to happen. Seismographs gather information over a long period of time and the patterns in the seismic wave frequency are easily analyzable. Seismometers were implemented in Japan’s coastline by local authorities with readings going to computers where the data from seismic waves was analyzed. This brought to the early conclusions that the earthquake was a magnitude 6.6 and later upgraded to 9.0 from further readings showing an increase in movement within the ground. Seismometers also bring a change in scientific research about certain regions and their risk to earthquakes, as it allows for research to be collected at various points before, during and after an earthquake, so that warnings can be sent out in advance next time or before an aftershock. (Dea, 2003) The Effectiveness of Detection/Damage Prevention Techniques Used In Japan Seismometers- Science’s solution to the problem-can be used to detect earthquakes and their location so that maximum damage can be prevented. In theory, scientists in Japan should have been able to pick up the earthquakes where about, magnitude and timing from the seismic activity under the earth’s surface that should have been detected by numerous seismometers located on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed. Scientists can use the readings gathered- based on the frequency of the waves-to calculate the magnitude of the earthquake before it reaches by working out the difference in arrival between two waves from tree different seismometers. (BBC, 2013) If the gap between the two arrivals is shorter, then the magnitude of the earthquake is also higher. Fukushima scientists also used this method to determine the exact location of the earthquakes epicentre through the process of triangulation in which they determine the distance travelled by waves at each of the three seismomet ers and pinpoint the centre (as shown in diagram 2). Seismometers certainly helped to detect the Fukushima earthquake. Evidence shows that almost a thousand lives were saved due to seismometers monitoring the Pacific seabed. They proved effective in saving lives because they were able to pick up the sudden seismic activity in the ground. The detection allowed scientists back in Japan to sound an alarm minutes before the earthquake arrived in Japan. However, the initial alarm was quite inaccurate, as it was originally sounded for a 6.6 magnitude earthquake. Over the last century around the world, scientists concluded that 9/10 times seismometers were initially incorrect in detecting the magnitude of the numerous earthquakes (Strevens, 2011). Seismometers also have many more limitations, which cause for the technology to be deemed ineffective at times and can be used to partially explain some of the issues that occurred in Japan- issues that could have been avoided. Unlike NASA’s InSAR satellite technology that can detect earthquakes day before they occur (due to its ability to detect even 1cm of movement within the earth) (NASA, 2011), seismometers are only able to detect earthquakes minutes before they happen and the only way scientists can actually issue a warning in advance is if they look closely at the patterns in previous earthquakes or try and interpret seismic readings days before and see if there are any abnormalities. The limitations of possible inaccuracy with data and late warnings made the use of the seismometers quite ineffective during the earthquake. Although seismometers are able to pinpoint the exact location of the epicentre so that aftershocks can be predicted and are able to give a few minutes of warning about the magnitude, it is a scientific device that’s success can easily be affected by influence human error plays in analyzing its data on computers. Sea walls were implemented in Japan to protect its coastal cities from tsunamis. The science behind them is that its strong concrete material, from which it is made of, should be able to block the force of a tsunami. Their height- 10 metres above sea level- were supposed to be sufficient to stop most tsunamis as evidence shows that it is very rare in any part of the world for a tsunami over 10m to a region that is not directly over the fault line. However, if a tsunami were to reach such heights, the sea walls success would be limited greatly. A positive of their use though, is that their success is largely predictable as they do not require any electronic systems to function and nor do they have any human influence. Macintosh HD:Users:160161:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-10-27 at 6.40.21 PM.png Sea walls proved ineffective in Japan as the tsunami proved to also be 10 metres tall due to the water being very deep in the region. This allowed the tsunami to build up its waves and when the tsunami’s biggest waves arrived at the coast of Japan, they were 1m taller than the walls event though they were still only 10m tall. (Tran, 2013) This was due to the fact that the coastline had dropped by a metre and also moved three metres out to sea. (As shown in figure 5) This outside influence limited the success of the walls greatly and although- in many other tsunamis sea wall have effectively haltered tsunamis due to their concrete strength and height- the tsunami of 2011 flooded into Japan killing thousands that could not escape in the few moments of warning. Sciences Interaction With The Environment The environment has minimal impact on the application and effectiveness of seismometers and sea walls. As seismometers are not affected by an areas air pollution, vegetation or climate, the environment does not play a significant role in positively or negatively affecting the detection ability of seismometers. However there are still a few minor factors- particularly in Japan- that can somewhat prevent an earthquake from being detected accurately. Due to Japans vulnerable earthquake-prone region being located along the Pacific Ocean’s coastline, many low intensity stress waves created by natural noises and ocean waves have the ability to be detected by seismometers. This is because seismometers can detect and measure motions with frequencies from 500 Hz to 0.00118 Hz- a large enough range to detect ocean waves- particularly in the Pacific Ocean. This could have a negative effect on the effectiveness of science’s solution. Negatively, seismometers could be alerting Japan ese authorities every time tidal waves and ocean currents strengthen, thus triggering alarm bells constantly. A positive effect that the Japanese environment has on damage preventing solutions such as sea walls is that the Japanese coastline has numerous mountain and hill landforms. The many hills and low mountains located in Japans coastal region (sea figure 6)-especially where the Fukushima earthquake struck-help to prevent damage due to there significant height above sea levels. This environmental benefit was evident during the 2011 earthquake as authorities guided civilians to high ground so that when the tsunami arrived and the sea walls failed, the landforms saved a few hundred lives. (ONISHI, 2011)This was because the 10m height of the tsunami eventually deteriorated by the time it reached the landforms, thus preventing further damage from occurring. As mentioned above, the environment has minimal influence on the application and effectiveness of seismometers and sea walls, although sea walls do have an effect on the environment. To construct and implement sea walls, natural, agricultural and grassland is destroyed to make way for them. Sea walls require a large amount of space (width and length) if they are to be firm, sturdy and cover a large proportion of the coastline. They also negatively impact the climatic environment as their height to some extent interrupts the sea breeze that Japan receives from the ocean. This means that locations near the walls will be drier in the already tropical climate and environment. Once again these negative effects on Japan’s environment are not significant factors although if these scientific damage prevention measures were not present in Japan 2011, the environment would have been damaged greatly like it was in some towns that were destroyed completely. Economic Interaction Sciences detection and damage prevention solutions have a profound effect on the economy of Japan. The Japanese government invests billions (USD) in coastal defenses such as sea walls and warning systems every year. These expensive devices further cost governments around the world millions whenever a warning and consequent evacuation occurs. For example, since Hawaii’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center was established in 1948, about 75 percent of warnings that resulted in costly evacuations turned out to be false alarms (Pendick, 2012). A positive effect that Japan’s economy has on seismometers and warning systems is that it can afford to research deep into ways on improving the technology, as well as, fund the expensive costs involved with implementing and running them. There is very little limitations that Japan’s economy poses to seismometers as the economy is very stable and has been for the last decade without fluctuating too much (see graph 1), thus allowing for billions to be invested. This allows the government to invest in earthquake damage prevention devices so that when an earthquake strikes, damage costs can be kept to a minimum. Seismometers and damage prevention devices have a major influence on the economy. When the earthquake of 2011 struck and damage was high- especially from the burst reactor in the Fukushima Nuclear Plant- Japan’s tourism industry suffered greatly. This had a chain reaction on the economy with a major dip in Japan’s GDP (as shown in graph 1) during the period. Conclusion For many years now, scientists have attempted to come up with ways to detect and consequently, prevent earthquakes with measured success- especially in the Fukushima earthquake of 2011. Although the application of science through the use of seismometers potentially saved thousands of lives in the few minutes of warning, it’s accuracy and timing was not enough to stop a nuclear disaster. The 10m sea walls that were located around Japans shoreline also proved ineffective as the tsunami soared over them, leaving all types of buildings to be struck down by the shear force of the waves. However, scientists continue to apply their knowledge of earthquakes, tectonic movement and seismic waves so that they can enhance this solution for future earthquakes around the globe. Seismometers and sea walls fit into the world environment nicely as they do not affect it, but rather help to prevent damage occurring to it, whilst the modeling of buildings simply has the same impact as normal buildings do. Economic wise though, billions of dollars are put into the science and evidence shown from Japan might suggest, too much money for fairly inconclusive success. There are some variables in science that we can’t control, but what can be controlled is minimizing their damage to civilization through the processes of detecting and preventing damage.

Beauty Ideals - 955 Words

Beauty can be defined as a combination of qualities of a person or object that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction and that are aesthetically pleasing to the senses. While we are told as young children that beauty lies within, in today’s world for many people, that is regretfully untrue. We live in a very superficial society where most everyone is judged by their physical appearance. We are forced to change our values and purely focus on our appearance in order to be accepted and feel wanted.

The only thing I feel that is missing in this article is how women are feeling about other aspects of themselves besides just breast-size, whether it be appearance-wise or just in general. In order to overcome the confines of social pressure and the beauty myth, one must feel comfortable in most all aspects, not just one. I feel that although the article portrayed women and feminism in such a good light, it sort of skews people’s impressions since they are unaware of everything else and are only informed of the issues related to breast size. All in all, I really enjoyed reading this article and am very pleased with how things seem to be looking up in the society that we live in.

On BBC documentary called Seven Ages of Britain, which was hosted by David Dimbleby, one of the most famous contemporary artists, Damien Hirst, was once asked that did he pay for all the diamonds to make For the Love of God (2007, figure 1), which is so called as the diamond skull because it is made of a plenty of diamonds. Hirst answered that artists used what around him or her, and money was around him. Therefore, he thought that what he could do with money, and he could do something amazing with them. Consequently, he created For the Love God. What should be spotlighted is the point that an artist creates his or her works with materials, which are around them. As Damien Hirst said that money was around him, money was around people in†¦show more content†¦He has started to create money origami since 2006. Now, he is not just making money origami but also making collages with his moneygami works. In addition, he published the book that explained how to make moneygami in 2007. Based on his money origami book, he also has been published Youtube channel to share his way how to fold a hat-wearing figure with bills. Moreover, he published an apple application that allows people to create their own money origami collage. Like many other contemporary artworks, there are two points of view on Hasegawa Yosuke’s money art. One is the negative side. Audiences of the negative side say that his works are not art but just childish playgame. The other perspective is the positive side. Positive viewers regard his money art as new and somewhat interesting works because they are made of various banknotes from various countries, and dignified figures on the currency turn into familiar and cute figures. Since there are two different perspectives on Hasegawa’s moneygami, they arouse controversies. There is controversy related to legitimacy because money origami is made of banknotes. Some people say that Hasegawa breaks the law about money. According to the United States law: Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any

Business Law Scenario Analysis

Question: Whether an agent has the right to act in excess of authority and if not, then would his act bind the principal and the third party? Answer: Law: Creation of Agency: Agency can be created by the following ways: Express Appointment. Apparent agency. Agency and Authority: An agent is to create a contract between principal and the third party for which the agent must have authority of some kind(s) and the agent must act within the limits of that authority. Application: According to the law of agency an agent derives its authority either expressly or impliedly from the principle. An agent is therefore supposed to act within the limits of his authority. In the present case, Mrs. Ivanov had expressly authorised Anna to act as her agent and had mentioned the scope of her authority by directing Anna the quantity, quality and the price at which the material is to be bought. Anna had in this case bought the material from Liu Cloth at a higher price than what she was authorised for. Here, Anna had acted beyond the limits of her authority, but her act can be justified as there was a necessity to do so, and she did it after taking all due diligence in reaching Mrs. Ivanov. In this situation the emergency and the time of necessity gave Anna an authority in excess of what she already had. This could also be termed as creation of a new agency by necessity. Conclusion: Here Mrs. Ivanov and Anna has a principle and agent relationship where Anna is authorised to deal with the third party for a certain quantity and quality of merchandise at a price that is not to exceed $20 per metre, but Anna could only buy it for $21 per metre as the prices had increased. Here she exceeded her authority but that was due to an emergency and the act was done in good faith by Anna, hence she fulfilled her duties as an agent and her act binds Mrs. Ivanov and Liu Cloth in a contractual relationship. Situation 2 Issue: Whether there exists any contractual relation between the principle and the third party when the agent acting under the express instructions of the principle did not disclosed the principle before the third party? Law: Effect of the Agency Contract: Where the agent makes a contract on behalf of the principal, it is the principal who is bound, not the agent. The agent has no personal liability. Unnamed principal rule: where the agent discloses that s/he is an agent but does not name who his/her principal is, again the principal is bound under the contract, but not the agent, Undisclosed principle rule: where the agent does not disclose that s/he is acting for an agent at all. When and if the third party finds out he/she can choose either the agent or the principal as the party to be bound by the contract. The third party cannot choose both. Application: Anna had bought the material from Harris Fabrics under the instructions of Mrs. Ivanov without disclosing who the principle was or even that Anna was an agent of some principle. Here the law that is attracted is that the act of Anna shall be legal as she was acting under the authority that was granted to her, however the consequences of her act would fall on the principle, i.e. Mrs. Ivanov. Even Harris Fabrics has the right to sue either of the two and not both of them, if they come to know that Anna is an agent of Mrs. Ivanov. Further, if there is any problem with the material then Mrs. Ivanov does not have the right to sue Harris Fabrics as there was no contractual relationship formed between Mrs. Ivanov and Harris Fabrics. In the case of Said v Butt, the plaintiff did not have good terms with the defendant who owned a theatre. Plaintiff then sends his agent to buy the tickets, but the defendant does not allow the plaintiff to enter the theatre despite having a ticket. It was held i this case that there was no contract with plaintiff. According to the defendant he had entered into a contract with the agent without knowing that he was merely an agent. Hence it was considered that Identity is a vital factor. Conclusion: therefore there is no contractual relationship between Mrs. Ivanov and Harris Fabrics as the agent did not disclose that she was an agent and the consequences of which are that Mrs. Ivanov cannot sue Harris Fabrics for any problem in the material. Situation 3 Issue: Whether the risk of a good is also transferred from the seller to the owner along with the ownership of the good? Law: Sale of Goods Act Section 22: Unless otherwise agreed the risk stays with the seller until ownership passes. Application: As per section 22 of the Sale of goods act, when the ownership of a good is passed, its risk is also passed over to the purchaser, unless a contrary agreement has been made. Here, the risk of the Land Mower passed to Mrs. Ivanov when it was delivered to her, as she agreed to the terms of the company. Mrs. Ivanov had bought the mower from the salesman at Bens Garden Centre Limited, who had informed her that they cannot take any guarantee of the product and also that the company does not have a refund policy. Conclusion: Hence, Mrs. Ivanov has no right to get a refund of the mower as she has taken up the ownership as well as the risk of the land mower. Situation 4 Issue: Whether the driver of the truck would be liable for negligence? Law: Tort of negligence is a law of tort that involves harm caused by carelessness which is not an intentional harm. Three element of tort of negligence: Duty of care. Breach of that duty. Damage caused due to the breach. Employer is liable for the tortious acts of employees done within the course of their employment General defence: Volenti non fit injuria to a willing person no harm is done. Application: according to the common law of tort, as held by the house of lords that the manufacturer are obliged to observe a duty of care to its customers. Similarly in this case also, the Mighty Movers Limited had a duty of care towards Mrs. Ivonov while towing her van which they had breached and caused damage to Mrs. Ivanov and hence they are liable for negligence. Here, the mighty movers cannot take the defence of knowledge or Volenti non fit injuria, as they had informed that the risk was of the owner which was written on their flier. For the defence of Volenti non fit injuria it is necessary to examine if the injured person knew about the risk and also that they had given their consent to take the risk.

My Health Record in Headspace Organization †MyAssignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the My Health Record in Headspace Organization. Answer: Introduction Headspace is an organization, which treats young patients with mental illness in New South Wales. The age group of the patients is of sixteen to twenty five. It has been observed that the suicidal tendency is higher in the youth generation. When these patients are repeatedly asked about their problems and mental health, they eventually clam up or does not want to discuss about their problems (Lee Yu, 2012). This becomes a problem for the psychiatrist or the doctors, as they are unable to understand the problems. The organization has decided to launch a new integrated information system for these mentally misbalanced patients. The modern information system is extremely easy to implement and cost effective. This report outlines the new way of storing the patients problems in a modernized information system during the first time they are told (Arvidsson, Holmstrm Lyytinen, 2014). This process will help the doctors and the psychiatrists, as they do not have to ask the patients about th eir problems repeatedly. Discussion: Problem Headspace is a renowned and recognized organization, which works with the youth generation of age group twelve to twenty-five. It works with those patients, who experience mental illness and ill health. Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health problems, although there are many other mental illnesses as well (McCloughen et al., 2012). Youth suicide in local New South Wales for the age groups between sixteen to twenty five has been particularly disturbing and alarming, especially amongst the local and indigenous youth. One of the major problems recognized was that a young person of age group of sixteen to twenty four, with a mental health issue and illness might see that multiple professionals before getting the help they need. Each time those patients need to tell their problem again. Soon, the young people stopped talking about their mental problem and discussed extremely little about their problem. This makes it harder for the professionals to help them for their pro blems (Laudon et al., 2012). Initially, they might see a case worker of Headspace, then the medical staff in a hospital emergency department, maybe a psychologist, a general practitioner, a psychiatrist, and others.Currently, the funding is being pursued to form a system that will capture the patients story the first time it is being told. This will give authority to the successive professionals, so that the case notes and their story can become improved, and the young person can be facilitated more precisely and appropriately (Bajdor, Grabara, 2014). The funding has been approved for the new information system and the business systems analyst of this project has to find the scope out of the project. Capabilities Headspace is a renowned organization, which treats patients with mental ill health and mental illness. The patients mostly belong to the age group of sixteen to twenty five. These patients do not remain in the state of mind to tell their problems repeatedly. This becomes very hard for the doctors and psychiatrists to understand their problems. At one time, they completely stop discussing their problems and do not even want to talk about them (Insel, 2012). However, it is important for the psychiatrists and the doctors to know their problems and to modify and update the problems for proper treatments. Recently, the funding is sponsored for a new up graded system that will record the stories of the patients, the first time they are being told. This will prevent the patients from repeating their stories and the doctors from asking their patients (Demir Krajewski, 2013). Information system is an integrated system that stores, collects, organizes and filters information. This system even creates, distributes, and processes data. It is a group of constituents or components, which interact to produce various and different information. A computer information system is an integrated system, which is constituted of computers and people that interprets or processes information (Gagnon et al., 2012). The information system is also sometimes used in more limited or restricted senses to refer to only a computer system or to refer to the software that is used to run a computerized database. Any specific information system aims to support operations, management anddecision-making. An information system is theInformation and Communication Technologyor ICT that a company or an organization uses, and also it is the way in which various people interact with this particular technology in support of the business processes (Vaishnavi Kuechler, 2015). It is used by many organizations nowadays. Information system is absolutely cost effective, therefore extra funding is not needed at all for the project of Headspace. It is extremely beneficial for any organization, especially for cases like Headspace, where listening to patients illness repeatedly is a major problem (Daumit et al., 2013). This information system will store the data and the detailed information regarding the patients and their problems and the doctors can retrieve that information whenever needed and modify them if needed. The information system is easy to implement and handle and there is lack of complexities. Benefits The implementation of an integrated information system is highly needed and beneficial for the Headspace organization. This information system helps to store, collect, communicate and organize information with utmost ease. This is extremely easy to implement and cost effective (Li, 2013). The integrated information system will store all the information regarding the patients and their health problems, so this new information system is very helpful for the Headspace organization. The new integrated information system will help the doctors, psychologists and the psychiatrists to retrieve the information of the patients whenever needed, which does not disturb the patients by asking them repeatedly about their problems. It has been observed that when the patients are questioned various times, about their mental illness and problems, they either completely stop talking, or does not show interest in interacting with the doctors or start reacting violently and they become violent. The infor mation system will record the entire story of the patients, whenever they are explained for the first time (Yucel, 2012). This new information system will even save time in treatment of the patients, and they will be treated quickly with modern technology. This system has another benefit of auto modification of information, which means it will update the information. Whenever a patient is being treated and he or she is improving, the new integrated information system will automatically record the new health record of that particular patient. This will help in removing the manual update of information in Headspace organization. Therefore, installing the new information system is extremely beneficial for this organization. Conclusion Therefore, from the above report it can be concluded that, suicidal tendency of youth generation has increased in the New South Wales. It has been observed that it has become common for the local youths. They are suffering from anxiety and depression, which is further leading towards the suicide of that young person. The mentally misbalanced patients are so ill that they cannot even share their problems. When they are asked repeatedly, it is reported that either they are not replying at all, or they are showing least interest in communication or in some cases, they are reacting violently. However, if the doctors will not know about the problems, they will not be able to treat the patients. The new integrated information system is much needed and important for the Headspace organization, which will store their story in the system, when they are told for the first time. With the help of this information system, the doctors and the psychiatrists will be able to retrieve the stories of t he patients and even modify them whenever needed.
