Policy regarding Plagiarism
Plagiarism is defined as the act of stealing and passing off (the ideas or words of another) as
one’s own; the use of a created production without crediting the source; literary theft.
Plagiarism is intellectual dishonesty; besides being a serious academic offense and grounds
for expulsion in many colleges, it is also illegal. As a writer, you are guilty of plagiarism if
you neglect to properly acknowledge or cite:






All word-for-word quotations (except common sayings)
All passages that you have summarized or paraphrased
All charts, graphs, diagrams that are not your own
All statistics that you have not compiled yourself
All theories or interpretations that are not your own
All key words or terms that you have taken from a specific source
Technology has made plagiarism more tempting than ever, as students can easily cut &
paste into their own files material found on the internet. However, technology has also made
catching student plagiarists much easier. Teachers need only to go to one of several research
engines, type a phrase or two of suspected material, and they will be taken immediately to
the source.
It is the policy of the Ocean City Health & Physical Education Department that any student
papers (essays, book reports, term papers, projects, etc.) found to contain plagiarized
material will receive a grade of 0. Students will not be afforded the opportunity to rewrite
the assignment or make up the grade.
In the same vein, since all of our health classes require the same or very similar written
assignments, health teachers will be comparing projects for copying or plagiarism.
I have read & understood what constitutes plagiarism and the OCHS H & PE Department’s
policy regarding it.

VALUES
Do you think you know yourself? Have you ever really thought about who you
are? What do you stand for? Where are you going? Young people often look at their
future and wait for it to arrive. They plan major events but usually ignore the causes or
preparation for these events. Much of what happens in people’s lives is caused by past
events. Take a closer look at your values. Your values are those things that are important
to you. Values are tangible (i.e. money, clothes. cars) and intangible (i.e. friendship,
love, religion). Values are learned. You have learned your values from your family,
your schooling, your religious background, your friends, your own experience, society
and the media. Values can change. You have already made decisions in your life that
agree with or differ from learned values (i.e. friendship, dating, drinking, and schooling).
Values should be reflected in your behavior. If friendship is important to you, your social
behavior (not just your words) shows your friends that your care; if education is a value,
your school behavior reflects your concern.
What do you consider your 5 best characteristics?

ALLIGATOR RIVER
Once upon a time there was a woman named Abigail who was in love with a
man named Gregory. Gregory lived in Somers Point and Abigail lived in
Ocean City. The bay which separated the two lovers was teeming with maneating alligators. Abigail wanted to cross the bay to be with Gregory.
Unfortunately, all the bridges had been under construction and were closed
to all traffic. So she went to ask Sinbad a boat captain, to take her across. He
said he would be glad to if she would consent to go to have relations with
him preceding the voyage. She promptly refused and went to a friend named
Ivan to explain her plight. Ivan did not want to be involved at all in the
situation. Abigail felt her only alternative was to accept Sinbad’s terms.
Sinbad fulfilled his promise to Abigail and delivered her into the arms of
Gregory. When she told Gregory about her amorous escapade in order to
cross the bay, Gregory cast her aside with disdain. Heartsick and dejected,
Abigail turned to Slug with her tale of woe. Slug, feeling compassion for
Abigail, sought out Gregory and beat him brutally. Abigail was overjoyed at
the sight of Gregory getting his due. As the sun set on the horizon, we hear
Abigail laughing at Gregory.

FAMILY
Studies prove that most people marry and have a family. Do you think you will
follow this typical pattern? Have you ever imagined yourself as a husband/ wife/ parent?
Can you imagine yourself as a parent of a child your age?
Since you learn how to be a parent from watching your own parent(s), it only
makes sense to take a close look at the way you are being raised. It is important to
identify the healthy parenting practices so that you can repeat them and to be aware off
the negative practices in order to avoid them.
Each family is a system unto itself. Each family has its own values, customs,
communication patterns and expectations. These are learned and passed on to members
of the system. This happens almost automatically, regardless of whether the learning is
desirable/ undesirable or healthy/unhealthy.

Divorce Facts
“American divorce rate is nearly twice what is was in 1960, though it has declined
somewhat since hitting an all time high around 1980”
Median marriage age – Today – Men: 29 Women: 27
1960 - Men: 23 Women: 20
“Both men and women have higher life expectancies when married compared to single or
divorced”
“Current estimates say 40%-50% of recent marriages end in separation or divorce.
Research show these numbers can dramatically decrease IF; you are a reasonably welleducated person with decent income, come from an intact family, are religious, and marry
after age 25 with no prior children”
“Due to lack of stability and support at home, children from an unhealthy divorce can
experience decrease in academic success, physical health, and future stability in their own
relationships.”
24
Why and When divorce could happen
5-7 years into marriage – due to high conflict; including: easily angry, hurt, or jealous;
showing poor money management; having an affair
10-12 years into marriage – due to loss of intimacy
Research supported reasons for divorce
-

o What makes the other person feel loved?
o Can you communicate about it?
o Are you equal partners at home?

AIDS: Acquired Immune deficiency Disease Syndrome
HISTORY: Before scientists had discovered the HIV virus they named
the set of symptoms and diseases experienced by people with a severe breakdown
of the immune system “AIDS”. Later, the definition was changed to include
anyone infected with the HIV virus, with the advanced breakdown of the immune
system, even if they didn’t have a disease or cancer. No definite origin of HIV
has yet to be found. HIV was discovered in 1983. It is a retrovirus that infects
several kinds of cells in the body; the most important of which is a type of white
blood cell called the CD4 Lymphocyte (also known as the T4 cell). The CD4 cell
is a major component of the human immune system that helps keep people free
from infections and some cancers. HIV can effectively disable the body’s
immune system, and destroy its ability to fight disease.
What is an AIDS diagnosis? The first symptoms of infection can be a lot
like those of many viruses: fever, headache, fatigue and rash. Some people may
experience strong symptoms but other experiences none at all. Symptoms can
occur within days or weeks of the initial exposure to the virus. A person is given
an AIDS diagnosis by a doctor when they are infected with HIV and they come
down with one of several diseases or cancers including: Tuberculosis,
Toxoplasmosis, and PCP wasting syndrome, Candidiasis, HIV dementia (memory
impairment). People who haven’t had one of these diseases but whose immune
system is shown by a laboratory test to be severely damaged also qualify (CD4
count of 200 or below).
Spread of HIV: The infection is spread through exposure to semen and
vaginal fluid (including menstrual blood) from unprotected sex or through
exposure to blood from injection drug use from contaminated needles or syringes.
HIV can also be transmitted from mother to child through birth or by breastfeeding. Saliva, tears, sweat and urine can have the virus in them but in such
small concentrations that nobody have ever been infected through them.
However, if any body fluid is visibly contaminated with blood, the risk of
transmission exists.
39
Testing Information: A new technology for the early detection of HIV is called
the HIV Proviral DNA by PCR. The PCR is sensitive enough to detect the
presence of an HIV infection conclusively after 28 days from the time of possible
exposure. Rapid HIV antibody tests: Where the standard HIV antibody testing
procedure requires up to two weeks for results, the rapid test gives results in 5-60
minutes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that between
850,000 and 900,000 Americans are infected with HIV. An estimated 180,000 to
280,000 Americans do not know they are infected and may continue to engage in
behavior that could jeopardize their health and the health of others.
Drug Therapy: New compounds in a new class of drugs, called protease
inhibitors have been federally approved to treat HIV infection. These drugs,
when taken in combination with previously approved drugs such as ZDV also
called AZT, 3TC and did reduce the level of HIV particles circulating in the blood
to a very low level in many individuals. Treatment results using these drugs have
been extremely encouraging, as these drug combinations are more effective than
any previously available therapies. Researchers are hopeful that this type of
combination therapy, with further study will prove effective long-term and
increase the healthy life span of HIV infected people.

Alcoholism is defined by the American Medical Association as a disease, which can be arrested but
not cured. It is a progressive and debilitating illness. If the disease is not arrested (by abstaining
from alcohol) it will lead to insanity or death. Treatment involves a lifetime commitment to abstain
from alcohol. Alcoholic’s Anonymous is the best known and widely regarded as the most effective
means of treatment.

CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY IN THE FAMILY
When a family member becomes a victim of alcoholism or another drug addiction, the rest of
the family tends to react in predictable ways. They may move through any or all of the following
stages:
STAGE 1: DENIAL
Family members deny there is a problem; nonetheless, they try to hide the problem from
themselves and others. The family feels embarrassed, and becomes concerned with its reputation.
Relationships in the family become strained, and members try to create the “perfect family” illusion.
STAGE 2: HOME TREATMENT
Everyone tries to control the chemically dependent person’s drug use, in a variety of wayseliminating the supply of drugs, nagging, threatening, etc. The family becomes socially isolated, and
members feel themselves to blame. Low self-worth mounts as they fail to control the dependent
family member.
STAGE 3: CHAOS & DISORGANIZATION
A crisis occurs as a direct result of the dependent person’s use of drugs, and the disease can no
longer be denied or hidden. The family feels helpless, children become confused and frightened,
family violence may occur, financial difficulties may become pressing, and the family may seek
outside help-with a desire for a “magic solution”
STAGE 4: REORGANIZATION
The family attempts to reorganize by easing the dependent person out of her/his family role
and responsibilities. The dependent person is either ignored or treated like a child, and other family
members remain torn with conflicting emotions-love, fear, guilt, anger, shame, and resentment.
62
FAMILY MEMBERS DEVELOP ROLES TO SURVIVE:
1. CHIEF ENABLER.
Chief enabler assumes primary responsibility for protecting the chemically dependent person and the
other family members from the harmful consequences of the addiction.
The Chief ENABLER behavior includes lying about work or school absenteeism, covering financial
debts, and making excuses for inappropriate actions.
2. FAMILY HERO.
Family heroes assume responsibility for providing the family with self-worth. They often take on the
role of family counselor, and are usually high achievers.
3. FAMILY SCAPEGOAT.
Family scapegoats cannot compete with family heroes, so they try to get attention by becoming
troublemakers. The family then often directs its hostilities toward the scapegoat, thus diverting the
attention away from the real problem of chemical dependence. Family scapegoats soon become
estranged from their families, develop strong peer group attachments, and often become chemically
dependent themselves.
4. LOST CHILD.
Lost children try to escape the family’s crises by withdrawing. This withdrawal is often characterized
by a retreat into a fantasy world of books or television. Family members appreciate the lost child,
who doesn’t cause any trouble, thus they reinforce the behavior.
5. FAMILY MASCOT.
Family mascots use humor and clowning to attract attention. Family mascots can be hyperactive, and
become accustomed to being the center of attention.

Do you ever feel remorse after drinking?
Do you ever take a drink or two before going to a party where you know drinks
will be served?
Do you find yourself sneaking “extra” drinks at a party or gulping drinks while other people
are drinking slowly?
Do you argue or have “discussions” with your friends or family members about your drinking
and the money it costs?
Do you ever take a drink to “calm down” or to feel “together”?
Have you ever awakened in the morning and been unable to remember events that occurred
while you were drinking?
Do you ever drink alone to “feel good”?
Do you take a drink first thing in the morning?
Have you missed time from work because of your drinking or a hangover?
Do you look for occasions to drink or excuses to celebrate?
Do you drink frequently or go on binges?
Do you ever lie about your drinking or hide the amount you drink?
Do you ever take a drink when you’re angry or upset?
Have you ever avoided attending functions where you think drinks will not be
served?
Do you crave a drink at a particular time of the day?
Do you deny your drinking?
If an individual answers “yes” to two or more of these questions, then he or she is probably in trouble
with alcohol and should find out more about the disease of alcoholism. Alcoholism is a progressive
disease and guaranteed to worsen without treatment.
The early signs of alcoholism should not be dismissed, any more than one would ignore signs of any
other major health problem. Alcoholism is very serious condition; but one for which help is
available. Once the presence of the disease has become evident, help should be sought.

WARNING ALCOHOL POISONING IS DEADLY!
“Chug it! Chug it! Chug it!” Have you ever been to a party and heard this cry? Ever seen someone
“celebrate” their birthday by drinking 17 or 18 drinks in a row? Maybe you’ve seen someone drink
till they passed out. Every one of these scenes has something in common; they could all end in death,
even if no one tried to drive after drinking. If you witness one of these scenes, you might loose a
friend to alcohol overdose.
Alcohol poisoning is deadly and it is becoming more prevalent in communities across the country.
Last year at least 800 high school and college students died from alcohol poisoning, but researchers
believe the number may be higher than 4000 because many such deaths may be attributed to other
causes. Alcohol is a depressant drug that can be ingested in qualities that will cause cardiac arrest
and death.
What is alcohol poisoning? It is a severe physical reaction to an overdose of alcohol - binge drinking.
You may have seen one of your friends or an acquaintance at a party pass out after drinking too
much. This is not a rare scenario. And most often, the reaction is to leave the person to sleep it off
thinking the result will only be a terrible hangover. It can be death.
The following are true stories, (provided by RID-USA) of young people who died needlessly from
alcohol poisoning.
TODD WILLIFORD (16), entering his senior year in high school was encouraged to celebrate using
a beer bong to pour liquor down his throat. While his friends cheered him on, “no one tried to stop
it.” After he passed out, his intoxicated friends put him in the back of a truck and went joy riding:
Finally hitting a tree, exploding a tire. They panicked and left the scene. By the time Todd’s parents
were contacted, Todd was dead.
MATTHEW HICKOK (21),was being driven from bar to bar by a designated driver friend who was
told at the last bar that Matthew would not be served and that he should be taken to the hospital at
once. The designated driver put Matthew in the back seat of his car to “sleep it off” and went to bed.
The next morning Matthew was dead of alcohol poisoning.
KIMBERLY MICHELLE MONEY (17), one month after graduating from high school she went to an
“all you can drink” party for $5. Kim had consumed 17 drinks before she passed out. Her older
sister arrived and took Kim home and put her to bed at 9:30 PM. Her mother found her dead at 6:30
am.
