Procatalepsis:

• When a student is failing a class and hasn’t done any work but tells the teacher “I know I haven’t done my work but If you give me extra assignments I will make it up too boost my grade” 
• When a teen asks for permission to their parents to go out, “May I go out I have been doing my homework and will continue to get it done on-time”

Distinctio: 

• When someone says to a close one “I don’t need enemies it’s sufficient with you” will refer to how enemies are described to be powerful yet it’s in a way hurtful coming from someone close to you
• When someone says “Immigrants aren’t the cause on why America is full of crimes, it’s because everyone contributed to be this way either negative or positive ways”

Analysis: 

Procatalepsis contributes to a sentence because it’s more of a way where an individual asks a question but also answers it. Distinctio is when it’s basically a statement that is clear since it has specific type of details. People might find these two words useful because of the fact that it contributes a specific use of both words when it comes to sentences.

General topic & interest: 

I’m interested in writing my final project about the society issue of mental health in individuals. Mental Health plays a huge role in our daily lives for many different types of reasons. The interests in Mental health are due to I’ve seen my close friends living with mental health. The way it has affected them makes me see an interest in learning and writing an essay to describe the struggles that not only our loved ones can go through but society in general. There are always multiple reasons on why people take a certain action even when it comes to the people who harm the environment. Sometimes I wonder why certain people end up alone such as are homeless, end up with no jobs, with no family or end up committing crimes. Multiple times I then answer my own questions from my own experience of having family members and a best friend having mental issues. I tell myself “People become like this because of their traumas and experiences they go through which makes them become the way they are.” 

3 Questions: 

1. After the Pandemic how has the mental health impacted an individual changed after 3 years on regular people? 

  –It has caused major changes in an everyday routine such as the jobs that people have had, how different types of relationships with others have changed, and so much more..

2. At what point does an individual know when to seek help? 

• Once an individual has noticed changes in their daily routine such as the lack of sleep, having no appetite or having appetite, having a certain behavior or having a lot of emotions in one day. 

3. What are major changes that people can do to be brought up to help others with Mental Health? 

• As a society to bring more attention to how we see others such as their behavior which is a main focus
• The way individuals have their relationships with others 
• When people commit crimes and blame their mentality for doing a specific action
• The traumas people lived through when they were a child and how it has made them become the person they are today
•  How adults transition onto the elder age based on everything they saw and experience

Justification: 

Mental Health is a very important topic because of how it has affected thousands of people living today in America and every other part of the world. The impact it holds on people is the way it changes society and leads others to be. There have been different cases in which some people have depression which leads to death because they didn’t resist. Other cases lead to people with depression to commit crimes, robberies, assaults etc that affects society because it damages negatively. It’s important to have answers to the questions because I and others can try to understand why certain things lead to people doing what they do to others and society. 

Research: 

I will need to have articles that relate to the specific topic of mental health. I will use the resource mainly of the news because there have been cases where it talks about how people have committed crimes because they have gone “insane” due to the lack of abandonment and loneliness. An important resource I feel is very interesting is the experience I’ve seen my own brother and my best friend go through which I can be able to talk about how it affects my relationship with them and the relationship with others. The information that I need to find out first is how has mental health changed throughout the years such as after the pandemic what has grown more in society? Crimes and Robbery. I believe what will be difficult to find is how many percent of people have had mental health after the pandemic since there are many sources that have a different percentage and it’s important to have a specific one.
