This chapter “The Ghost Soldiers”, showed us how Tim O’Brien and the other soldiers were dealing with the war both physically and psychologically. It also shows us how the Tim O'Brien behaved and felt when he was shot, wounded and had a bacteria infection on his butt and how the war changed the way he thought, and viewed the other soldiers around him. This chapter also contain a lot of psychological lens. From the way Tim O’Brien felt when he was shot and separated from his unit to a new unit to when he wanted revenge on Bobby Jorgenson for almost “killing” him.
Another thing, the Milgram obedience study as where they picked a group of people and they paired them by two types “teacher” or “student”. The things they did in this study were worse that the Zimbardo prison study because the student had to be shocked. The student had to learn for example a list of vocabulary words if they did not learn them they would get shocked with electricity. They would do several rounds to see if they learned and they electricity shock would go up to 450 volts (that is like getting hit by lighting). I learned also about the famous Phineas Gage.
Ghost Shirt Society rebels for asserting the place human beings in the society and establishing a strong and well-defined social organization to favor people. According to them only sixty percent of the people realize the consequence in the major industrial cities and the members of the society try to create awareness for the rest. Without Paul’s father’s name he cannot succeed in life. Paul is admired by Alfy Tucci, because he likes his skill.
Like Psychologist Diana Baumrind did so in her article “Review of Stanley Milgram’s Experiments”. Where she makes it very clear that she disagrees with causing individuals stress and discomfort. In her article, Baumrind states “It is potentially harmful to a subject to commit, on the course of an experiment, acts which he himself considers unworthy, particularly when he has been entrapped into committing such acts by an individual he has reason to trust” which in this case the trustworthy individual would be Stanley Milgram. Baumrind also worried about the dangers of the serious aftereffects that may ensure because of the stress and discomfort Stanley Milgram’s experiment has caused. Even though Stanley Milgram states that “After the interview, procedures were undertaken to assure that the subject would leave the laboratory in a state of well-being.”
The Zimbardo experiment was one that overseer even saw that it was unethical after coming to his senses. He put an ad in the newspaper for college students to submit for the experiment, where twenty-four would be chosen. The students would be paid fifteen dollars per day for two weeks of the experiment. However, it did not even last one week. It was an attempt of “good triumphs” in a negative environment, which did not work within the students’ roles.
Milo Yiannopoulos’ review of the 2016 film, Ghostbusters expresses his mourning of the death of the beloved franchise; his beloved franchise had a “stake driven through its heart” with its “head chopped off” and “body burned and buried at a crossroad.” His point is made across by the usage of Bill Murray’s character from the movie. In the film, Bill Murray’s character, Martin Heiss was chucked out the window by a ghost; a symbolism to Yiannopoulos as the death of the franchise. While Yiannopoulos believes he makes excellent points throughout his review about the movie, his views on the reboot film are not shared. While the film didn’t do the original justice, it had promise.
Bernardo Creamer Mr. Holland Intro. to Psychology September 27 2015 Shock Therapy and LSD for Kids There have been dark periods for all of us. Psychology especially, has suffered a great deal of very dark, cruel periods. Either due to ignorance, common belief or many other vacuous reasons, psychology has been the root of an extremely high number of unethical, morally corrupt investigations and experiments.
"Obedience is behavior that complies with the explicit demands of the individual in authority." (King, 448) If a store manager tells you to put a shirt on before entering the store, you're more than likely going to comply due to their request due to their authority over the store. You might fear that if you do not comply, you won't be permitted inside or even police being called. That is simple obedience, but what if an authority figure asked you to inflict pain on another person?
Halloween “They completely missed the boat there, I think. Because if you turn it around, the only girl who is the most sexually uptight just keeps stabbing this guy with a long knife. She’s the most sexually frustrated. She’s the one that killed him. Not because she’s a virgin, but because all that repressed energy starts coming out.
In 1963, Stanley Milgram, a social psychologist and professor at Yale, Harvard and City University of New York, published in the scholarly periodical Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. The study consisted of forty male subjects who were tasked with shocking an individual each time they got a wrong answer and the study was designed to observe obedience in individuals. Thirty-five years after Milgram’s experiment was published, Thomas Blass, a Psychology professor and writer of the 2004 Milgram biography, The Man Who Shocked the World, published a paper of his own where he found no significant discrepancies between his results and Milgram’s. On the other hand, unlike Milgram’s and Blass’ experiments, which were designed to observe obedience
Loophole to Acceptance As a college student, there are several moments where I wanted my mind to do nothing, and be un-occupied from all the thoughts in my head so I can be in a relaxed state of mind. Imagine my surprise as my professor assigns the class to do nothing for ten minutes and write about it; my first thought was "how does she expect us to produce something without doing anything? This is pointless." Although I did not understand the reason of this experiment in the beginning, it allowed me to see my comfort bubble as I questioned why I did the things I did.
Electroshock therapy will not cause extreme pain to the patient. The other side will argue that electroshock therapy is barbaric, as ECT causes injuries to the patients. ECT was new in the 50s and patients were injured from inexperience ( Arkowitz & Lilienfeld). Medical researches thought that longer pluses were efficient and lacking to secure the patient in place. Recent technology has dramatically decrease injury as the treatment time is cutted down.
In Ghost in the Shell (2017) under the right representation of the main character known as Major; the film would have avoided the yellow peril stereotype. Whereas the remake included a multi-cultural cast, there were only three characters (Hairi, Takeshi, and Togusa) of Asian descent that played in supporting roles but the remainder of other Asian influences were the villains of the film. Beginning when the first cybercrime introduced to viewers consist of robots in traditional kimonos with white makeup similar to the Japanese Geishas (9:08) are the first bad guys in the film. Then the destruction the Geishas erupts can only be finished by the white intruder proves the "greater good" does not exist, but the invasion of imperial influences
Looking at the history of reflection on free will, it can be noticed that such concept was not known in the Ancient Greece. Albeit, Aristotle has shyly discussed about a concept of ‘’choice’’ (proairesis), however it is poorly connected with actual acts, let alone the power of free will. It can be argued that the Greek stoics somehow recognised the possible existence of free will, since they greatly attributed the necessity of defending our inner beliefs and morals, so that the human shall not inherently delve into seeking desires, not worry about them, as well as ignore the circumstances that are not dependant on us. Thus, stoicism attributed to the individual the necessity of being free from all external influences and defending their personal inner sentiments. The development of the concept of free will can be directly attributed and traced back to the late Roman stoicism, especially during the time of Epictetus, whose philosophical teachings and views were written down by one of his students.
During the experiment, infants sat on the parent’s knee in front of a monitor showing a scene of an actor standing behind two windows; in front of each window was a box with a lid. The actor would observe a ball being placed into one of the boxes by a puppet; two false belief conditions followed. FB1 condition: the actor would be distracted by a ringing telephone and the puppet would move the ball; FB2 condition: the puppet would move the ball with the actor observing, then the actor would be distracted and the puppet would take the ball away. The windows were illuminated and a chime sounded during the familiarisation and test trials to prompt the infant during the experiment that the actor would be opening a window to access the ball in one of the boxes.
