Introduction of Topic and Problem
◦ What is MENTAL HEALTH?
Mental health is a level of psychological well-
being, or an absence of mental illness. It is the
"psychological state of someone who is
functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional
and behavioural adjustment“ (Holmes, 2015,
p.23)
◦ Why does MENTAL HEALTH matter?
Mental health and wellness are essential to
overall health. The World Health Organization
defines health as “… a state of complete
physical, mental, and social well-being.” For all
of us, our mental, physical, and social health are
interdependent.
Library Research
◦ According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Only 25 percent of people
with mental health issues feel that people are
caring and sympathetic toward their struggles
(Smith, 2018).
◦ According to the Health and Human Services
Office of Minority Health, African Americans
are 20% more likely to experience serious
mental health problems than the general
population (Jackson, 2017).
◦ Summary: From the library research, I was able
to gain extensive facts and figures related to
mental health, particularly that of African
Americans.
Online Research
◦ Illnesses that African Americans most often suffer
from:
◦ Major depression
◦ ADHD
◦ Suicide(African American men)
◦ PTSD (African Americans are more likely to be victims of
violent crime)
◦ African Americans are more likely to experience
certain factors that increase the risk for developing a
mental health condition like homelessness and
violence exposure (NAMI, 2015).
◦ Summary: My online research gave me more up-to-
date information and actual cases related to mental
illness and mental health.
People Research
◦ According to Lily Sanders, “Social media is full of
negativity, people want to look like models, have
houses and money like influencers, their identity
totally changes. This causes a problem with
people’s mental health” (personal
communication, April 10, 2022).
◦ “Personally, I feel as thou suicide is never for no
reason at all! Different things can lead to it such
as; depression, mental disorders, drug abuse,
physical and mental abuse, emotional distress,
bullying, etc.” (J. Doug, personal communication,
April 15, 2022).
◦ Summary: Overall, my people research gave me
perspectives I couldn’t find online or in books.
Listening to how people really feel about mental
health was eye-opening.
Proposal
◦ This final proposal will address the problems associated with mental health.
◦ Based on my research and evidence from books, academic journals, the
Internet, and people (Essays 1, 2, and 3), mental health can best be
addressed by holding multiple events that bring awareness to the topic,
specifically for students right here on the campus of FSU.
◦ These events would be held once a month on FSU’s campus. They would
invite the entire community with special guest speakers for all in attendance.
◦ During my research I found that awareness and community are big for
mental health. Events like these would promote inclusion and provide
activities for groups of all ages.
◦ The overall goal is to spread awareness about mental health and let people
know that they are not alone.
Reflection of Research Process
Overall, my favorite essay was
number 3 because I got to talk
to actual people about my
topic. Getting their
perspectives really made this
research fun.
Essay 1 was the hardest to complete
because I’m not good with books
and I’ve never been to the library.
My topic is relevant for today so
finding books on my topic was
difficult.
For the online research, my
essay was done in one day. I
feel like online research is
easy. Using the CRAAP test
also helped me evaluate my
sources to be sure I had
reliable articles for my essay.
Conclusion
◦ Despite the best efforts of so many
devoted educators, children who
struggle with mental health and
learning disorders still face an array of
serious challenges and obstacles in
school.
◦ It is up to the public, as well as
education systems, to educate
everyone about mental health and the
issues that may be related.
◦ If we all help one another, we could
save a life!

Introduction of Topic and Problem
◦ What is MENTAL HEALTH?
Mental health is a level of psychological well-
being, or an absence of mental illness. It is the
"psychological state of someone who is
functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional
and behavioural adjustment“ (Holmes, 2015,
p.23)
◦ Why does MENTAL HEALTH matter?
Mental health and wellness are essential to
overall health. The World Health Organization
defines health as “… a state of complete
physical, mental, and social well-being.” For all
of us, our mental, physical, and social health are
interdependent.
Library Research
◦ According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Only 25 percent of people
with mental health issues feel that people are
caring and sympathetic toward their struggles
(Smith, 2018).
◦ According to the Health and Human Services
Office of Minority Health, African Americans
are 20% more likely to experience serious
mental health problems than the general
population (Jackson, 2017).
◦ Summary: From the library research, I was able
to gain extensive facts and figures related to
mental health, particularly that of African
Americans.
Online Research
◦ Illnesses that African Americans most often suffer
from:
◦ Major depression
◦ ADHD
◦ Suicide(African American men)
◦ PTSD (African Americans are more likely to be victims of
violent crime)
◦ African Americans are more likely to experience
certain factors that increase the risk for developing a
mental health condition like homelessness and
violence exposure (NAMI, 2015).
◦ Summary: My online research gave me more up-to-
date information and actual cases related to mental
illness and mental health.
People Research
◦ According to Lily Sanders, “Social media is full of
negativity, people want to look like models, have
houses and money like influencers, their identity
totally changes. This causes a problem with
people’s mental health” (personal
communication, April 10, 2022).
◦ “Personally, I feel as thou suicide is never for no
reason at all! Different things can lead to it such
as; depression, mental disorders, drug abuse,
physical and mental abuse, emotional distress,
bullying, etc.” (J. Doug, personal communication,
April 15, 2022).
◦ Summary: Overall, my people research gave me
perspectives I couldn’t find online or in books.
Listening to how people really feel about mental
health was eye-opening.
Proposal
◦ This final proposal will address the problems associated with mental health.
◦ Based on my research and evidence from books, academic journals, the
Internet, and people (Essays 1, 2, and 3), mental health can best be
addressed by holding multiple events that bring awareness to the topic,
specifically for students right here on the campus of FSU.
◦ These events would be held once a month on FSU’s campus. They would
invite the entire community with special guest speakers for all in attendance.
◦ During my research I found that awareness and community are big for
mental health. Events like these would promote inclusion and provide
activities for groups of all ages.
◦ The overall goal is to spread awareness about mental health and let people
know that they are not alone.
Reflection of Research Process
Overall, my favorite essay was
number 3 because I got to talk
to actual people about my
topic. Getting their
perspectives really made this
research fun.
Essay 1 was the hardest to complete
because I’m not good with books
and I’ve never been to the library.
My topic is relevant for today so
finding books on my topic was
difficult.
For the online research, my
essay was done in one day. I
feel like online research is
easy. Using the CRAAP test
also helped me evaluate my
sources to be sure I had
reliable articles for my essay.
Conclusion
◦ Despite the best efforts of so many
devoted educators, children who
struggle with mental health and
learning disorders still face an array of
serious challenges and obstacles in
school.
◦ It is up to the public, as well as
education systems, to educate
everyone about mental health and the
issues that may be related.
◦ If we all help one another, we could
save a life!

## Home Gardening: A Solution for Food Insecurity
### Jason Carter
### Northwood University
### ENG 1150: English Composition 1
### Professor Janice Child
### April 6, 2025
Jason,
I garden, and I enjoyed this essay. It’s interesting and well-organized, but I questioned if you were writing for me in Michigan or someone miles farther south. Lots of people garden here. But it isn’t quite as easy as you suggest. Lots of people do raised beds – starting with sticks and twigs, then compost, then nice dirt. Then they plant and hope that the bunnies don’t get there first. Some people garden in neighborhood gardens, which seems like such a fun way to have a garden. I watch a fair amount of British gardening shows, and they seem to give everyone in their towns and villages access to plots in the neighborhood gardens. Neighborhood gardens make access to some of the tools that seem so helpful – like rototillers – accessible and free.
But here there is quite a delay with a vegetable garden from seed. I’m usually thrilled by a tomato or two. I’ve never had the patience or luck to get a vegetable garden growing starting from seed. I tend to lose interest when I realize it will be a month or more before I’ll see a broccoli with my name on it. If I’m going to grow tomatoes, I start with a plant anymore.
I’m going to be asking you to revise this essay for essay two. And by revise, I mean to see the topic with fresh eyes. Not just minor editing. I want a new essay on the same topic.
You can either write from the opposite point of view – which is a great thing to do when you are trying to persuade someone about something political. As you consider the opposition’s point of view, you get a sense of where there might be consensus and where you might find areas that would be easy to argue against – if you were ever to improve your first persuasive paper.
You could also take your broad topic and explore in greater detail some subtopic that interests you.
For example, …
you could focus on gardens for college students. I live close to Michigan State University, which began as Michigan Agricultural College in 1855. The central campus is surrounded by research labs, barns and fields that support its various agricultural programs.
When I came to East Lansing for grad school, my then-boyfriend told me I was going to a cow college. I was offended, but it was a clue that he was a moron.
It would be easy for MSU to find land and offer space and instruction for students in developing a garden. Why don’t they do that? I don’t know. Maybe they do.
There would be lots of benefits – the obvious one would be less food insecurity, but there would also be greater understanding of the agricultural community that makes up a big part of this state – which would be helpful for the students who are not enrolled in education related programs. Cars may be our first product, tourism may be second, but agricultural products would be right up there.
There would also be community outreach. There might be opportunities for the agricultural companies – seed producers, local (or university) farms involved in animal sciences to provide manure. This would be a public relations jackpot – tours, garden markets offering vegetables and products made from the crops, workshops to teach others to garden effectively.
(In fact, the PR benefits could be the paper. So could addressing ways to get involvement from third parties or students.)
Consider writing a persuasive essay aimed at the general audience, but also targeting institutions of higher education and the legislature suggesting that they act on the problem of food insecurity on campuses (and in the communities that surround them) to produce food that can be consumed by the grower and made available to the local community in need of help.
Now you pick a subtopic for essay 2:
You don’t have to use my topic, but don’t lose sight of the idea of making this a persuasive piece.
· What do you want to happen? (your thesis)
· What are the features and benefits if the plan is implemented
· What should your audience do to make this a reality (the call to action).
Home Gardening: A Solution for Food Insecurity
Food insecurity is a significant global health issue that has negatively impacted people for many decades. The lack of availability of access to food on a continuous basis should not be an issue that people face in this modern society. A challenging economy, increasing food prices, and lower wages are just some of the variables that contribute to food insecurity. Now is the time for people to focus more on factors
~~in which~~ (I’m going to offer ideas when it seems like your sentence would provide the same content without some unneeded words. Keep thinking about being concise.) they can control. and aA resolution to food insecurity is for people to engage in sustainable living by growing their own food.
Food insecurity is formally defined as reduced access to nutritious food that is needed to sustain a healthy lifestyle (Loofbourrow and Scherr, 2023). In past times, this was a problem that mostly only third world countries suffered from, but increasingly difficult economic times have seen more and more people in modern societies suffering from food insecurity. Food insecurity has been found to increase the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus which is a leading cause of death (Levi, Bleich, and Seligman, 2023). Food insecurity also affects the college landscape and leads to poorer academic performance and increasingly poorer health outcomes. Financial constraints are the largest factor contributing to these even with an increased number of food nutrition programs. (And it might be that some of the government funded food programs will be disappearing. Have you read about any that have been stopped. This is the only site I found that focused on U.S. food-related programs — https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-cuts-hit-struggling-food-banks-risking-hunger-low-income-americans-2025-03-25/.)
The most popular food nutrition program is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and is itit is available throughout our nation. Benefit recipients can use SNAP benefits to purchase seeds to grow food in their own backyards or common areas. Instead of depending on high food costs from grocery produce, most fruits and vegetables can be easily grown for a more continuous supply. This will further allow SNAP benefits to stretch further as the benefits can be focused on buying items that can’t be grown. A DIY garden can be started with less than $100 dollars and the potential to increase the amount of available nutrition food is priceless. On average, most SNAP recipients receive about $189 each month to meet their nutrition needs. On the other hand, the average cost of groceries that each person needs each month is around $420, a $231 dollar deficit. If these people don’t have access to additional funds to supplement the deficit, most will ration their food out each month or starve themselves.
College students are another group that suffer from food insecurity and need more feasible solutions. Most college students aren’t eligible for SNAP benefits because they are still considered dependents of their parents and guardians. Freshman students are generally well taken care of because they are on mandated meal plans and often have plenty of support to meet their financial needs. Upperclassmen have less support and less access to the nutritious food they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and perform well as they get closer to obtaining their degree (Loofbourrow and Scherr, 2023). Even with many schools having food pantries, the shame and guilt that many students face with having to use that option is make it not a feasible solution.
Creating a sustainable garden using one’s own bare hands surpasses just being a functional solution. A garden can bring joy and motivation for the future that a person was able to solve such a challenging situation. To start the garden, supplies can all be recycled materials found. Old wood can be repurposed and even plastic can be used to set up raised garden beds. Should you explain how? I’m not picturing how plastic can be used in a raised garden. Soil can be purchased or recycled as well using compost that can readily be found at garden centers. I have to say that the dirt and compost I buy at my local garden centers isn’t cheap. New gardeners should choose their favorite fruits and vegetables and then go to the local library to check out books to assist with the transition. Borrowing library books is cost-effective as limited funds aren’t used to purchase books. The only next step is to purchase the seeds and start planting! Okay, so I live in zone 6. (It used to be 5B, but it is getting warm enough so that the zone map tells me I have access to more plants. Still, when you buy seeds – assuming you have to wait for the ground to warm enough – you might be looking at 75 days from planting to a tomato, Should you identify the zone you are writing for? If you are in zone 9, say, your experience is much different than mine. Our season ends, maybe, late October, and with the lag time for seeds, the actual growing time is relatively short, which means hungry months from May to maybe July for some crops. The seeds will vary by season, so it is recommended to have seasonal garden beds and use seeds that are native to the region in which a person lives. As the seeds grow and the person learns more about the intricacies of gardening, this could also be another business venture. There are plenty of people that want to learn how to grow their own food as more people are becoming more health conscious about knowing what they are putting in their body.
Overall, there are only so many factors that a person can control, and the economic growth of a society is not one of them. Food prices are continuing to rise, and more people will starve if they don’t find an alternate solution to combat this. A garden can practically pay for itself and is something that those with financial constraints should learn to do. It is such a great joy to be able to grow your own food and provide for yourself without having to worry about price. Imagine a world where more people are healthy and there are less health complications because of eating more nutritious food.

Borrowing library books is cost-effective as limited funds aren’t used to purchase books. The only next step is to purchase the seeds and start planting! Okay, so I live in zone 6. (It used to be 5B, but it is getting warm enough so that the zone map tells me I have access to more plants. Still, when you buy seeds – assuming you have to wait for the ground to warm enough – you might be looking at 75 days from planting to a tomato, Should you identify the zone you are writing for? If you are in zone 9, say, your experience is much different than mine. Our season ends, maybe, late October, and with the lag time for seeds, the actual growing time is relatively short, which means hungry months from May to maybe July for some crops. The seeds will vary by season, so it is recommended to have seasonal garden beds and use seeds that are native to the region in which a person lives. As the seeds grow and the person learns more about the intricacies of gardening, this could also be another business venture. There are plenty of people that want to learn how to grow their own food as more people are becoming more health conscious about knowing what they are putting in their body.
Overall, there are only so many factors that a person can control, and the economic growth of a society is not one of them. Food prices are continuing to rise, and more people will starve if they don’t find an alternate solution to combat this. A garden can practically pay for itself and is something that those with financial constraints should learn to do. It is such a great joy to be able to grow your own food and provide for yourself without having to worry about price. Imagine a world where more people are healthy and there are less health complications because of eating more nutritious food.

What you have to do is to ask the question to any person interviewing in the video.
These are the question we are trying to include:
Please provide your perspective on the role social media platforms should play in preventing suicide among vulnerable users.
Please provide insight on animal testing in scientific research.
Please elaborate on how mass media shapes political decisions of general public Please give your viewpoint on mental asylum.
Click the video of that person talking you sent or else at least give us audio with translation.
So, basically, you will have to ask 3 questions to 3 different people in this video of another person talking, and you will have to take their perspective. As per their perspectives, or the factual information, you will need to gather many videos. You can get them from Google, YouTube, news, anywhere, but we will need many of them for all 3 questions. Use the sample link to learn more about the actual presentation if not a video of person talking we will at least need their audio.
It’s basically video montage.

Developmental Context
I would like to focus on late high school students, mostly late adolescense aged 17-19. I would
like to focus on those struggling with a lower socioeconomic status, as they are often less likely
to receive, or even know about, some of the financial support and overall assistance available
when considering college. The developmental context I would like to improve is self-regulation.
The specific context I would like to adjust is the high school. I plan to play the role of counselor.
Problems
Lack of mentorship/guidance
Mental health issues from subsequent struggling
Lack of resources and services
Solutions
For lack of mentorship, one solution would be for all highschool students to get in contact with a
counselor their junior year to discuss college and options best suited for them.
For mental health issues, a solution could be to provide accesibly counselors and therapy for
student
For lack of resources, students could be given handouts with all information on local resources,
websites, scholarships, tutoring, grants, etc. All the information that is helpful when considering
college, especially if one faces additional adversity.
Class Concepts
One concept that is important in these contexts is scaffolding, as extra guidance and support
during challenging times can help students.
Additionally, goodness of fit is an applicable concept for a student navigating where they want to
go and how supportive their current environment is.
Lastly, emerging adulthood is a concept as students are reaching the age of 18 when they go to
college. This can be a challenging time for individuals to adapt to both emerging adulthood and
college, or life outside of high school in general.

Developmental Context
The target population whose development I would like to foster is emerging adulthood
(age 18-26) specifically from an immigrant household. I want to focus on finding identity
when it comes to culture heritage and American culture as well as religion. This matters
because many with a cultural background struggle on how to maintain their cultural
heritage/ religion while living in America. I want the role as an advisor.
Problem
The first problem that is already present is emerging adults having to choose their
identity in school/work that causes an isolation from others
The second problem that is already present is stress between two worlds of cultural
heritage and American culture
The third problem that is already present is discrimination from the culture/religion they
were born into to a culture that they had to pick up
Solutions
One idea for the first problem is going to the cultural rooms for example the Pan African
Common (PAC), Middle East, North Africa, South Asia (MENASA), etc to find their
community
One idea for the second problem is going to an advisor, therapist, or counselor to
relieve the stress on trying to find your identity and understanding that your you should
not be ashamed to hide your culture/religion
one idea for the third problem is finding or making a support group that deals with or
dealt with discrimination
Class concept
A class concept that can inform this context is finding identity in ones self when finding
themselves when it comes to religion and culture. They do not have to change to fit in,
but finding the right group.

Another concept that can inform this concept is ecological systems because it
developed by many groups such as family, school, environment, etc
Last concept that can inform this concept is sociocultural theory where social and
cultural interactions can help ones find their identity and feel belonging in the
environment

Developmental Context
The target population whose development I would like to foster is adolescence, ages
15-18. Particularly, those who are latino. The aspect of development I want to focus on
is work-family balance. The developmental context that I want to improve is high
school/home. The role I would like to play is teacher.
Problems
The first problem that is already present in this context is students who are latino are
more likely to experience poverty and don't have enough access to resources.
The second problem that is already present in this context is family responsibilities
The third problem that is present in this context is motivation and pressure
Solutions
One idea to improve the first problem is free tutoring or programs that are available
during school hours, sometimes students dont have time after school so provide a
period where you can get support from teachers.
One idea to improve the second problem is to communicate and talk to families and
make a plan on how to support the family together, provide info sessions or community
sessions to teach parents about what responsibilities are appropriate for their children.
One idea to improve the third problem is to have a support group or counselor at school
that can help and understand the teens problems/ideas. Talking to parents about mental
health and ways they can support or encourage their child instead of putting pressure
on them.
Class Concepts
[https://canvas.pdx.edu/courses/100707/users/104130](https://canvas.pdx.edu/courses/100707/users/104130)
A class concept that can inform this context and help generate solutions is identity
formation because it provides a search of who adolescents really are and how they form
relationships with their parents, peers and school.
Another class concept that can inform this context and help generate solutions is
decision making, this gives adolescents a chance to make their own decisions which is
really important rather than controlling them or telling them what to do. It creates more
communication at home and school.
The last class concept that can inform this context and help generate solutions is social
development because it helps those who need access to resources, education and
community ties.
