Some of these treatments include facilitated communication, sensory integration, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, elimination diets, chelation therapy, floortime, and more.
For this assignment, you will be given specific information on the controversial treatment you will be discussing. The procedure you will discuss is posted in the announcements section. You cannot choose your own procedure.

There are many different professional roles that interact with death. It is important to note that from a French-Sociological perspective, death is viewed as a social event, the starting point of a ceremonial process whereby the dead person becomes an ancestor (Palgi & Abramovitch, 1984). Chan (1996) reports beliefs held by police offers can lead to a policing style that relies more on professional standards and legal requirements than sensitivity and understanding. Emotional engagement with families is not often a realistic expectation (Frewin et al. 2006).
According to Aaron (2000), there is an emotional aspect to the work that is required by police at the scene of a death. This is not because police fail to feel compassion, but they often lack the experience to enact their feelings through appropriate words and behaviors that will bring solace and comfort and be acceptable police behavior. (Henry 2004).
After reading this week’s required articles, consider your own experiences and viewpoints as you craft your post.
What do you view as the main issue when considering cross-cultural perspectives in death and police work? Explain your answer in detail. Include thoughts on police culture, emotion work, and community engagement.
In your answer, include all essential elements in order to receive points:
2 citations [APA format] from each article that supports your critical thinking.
Demonstration of your own view, reinforced by a strong rationale that includes personal opinions.
A question you developed as a result of participating in a process of inquiry.
In this week’s lecture, we hear from John Bellaimey, who explores the intertwined histories and cultures of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. Bellaimey provides insighst on cultural viewpoints and ways to define death.
In your answer for this week’s Chapter Response, please consider the following excerpts:
“Although death is fundamentally a biological fact, socially shaped ideas and assumptions create its meaning…People tend to view the world from a single perspective—their own—and to apply their own cultural criteria as benchmarks for judging the values of other communities.” [p.58]
“The concept of the death system is a helpful model for contemplating how death shapes the social order and, in turn, our individual lives. As a network of people, places, and times as well as objects and symbols, the death system affects our collective and personal relationships to mortality in many ways.” [169].

2. Show the relationship between age and LOS (length of stay) for all emergency admissions (Only one graph). Is there a difference between males and females? Perhaps the best way to show this is to use screenshots of your final graphs for each question. You can save them as either jpgs or pdfs.
