Does our society do enough to discourage sexual harassment? If yes, what? If no, what should we do differently?

Divorce hangover

Divorce affects the ex-spouses' physical, emotional, psychological, and economic well-being. After a divorce, one or both ex-spouses may suffer from "divorce hangover". For this assignment I would like for you to list and discuss in depth at least 6 of the known symptoms of a divorce hangover.

Why do these occur? Should we be 'worried' if a recently divorced person is not experiencing any of these symptoms? Why or why not? Finally, what (if anything) can be done to help people recover from this hangover?  Also do you know anyone who has been divorced recently and if they have/had a divorce hangover? If so, what role did/do you play in helping them recover?

A living will is a legal document that specifies medical treatment for an incapacitated individual. A durable power of attorney for health care (DPAHC) allows a person, essentially a physician to make end-of-life decisions for the patient. What are some of the concerns regarding DPAHCs and living wills? What are the pros of having a living will? What do you feel about this arrangement; would you get a living will made, or have a DPAHC?
