RE: Through the Lens (Blondie and Traveler) The first off of the helicopter was the reporter, Tiara Simmons. No one had to second guess that she was the reporter because even in another country she was in a fitted white blouse, navy pencil skirt, and a matching jacket with her makeup perfectly done. She clearly wasn’t worried about the rest of the crew either because she had her bag, which packed to the brim, and was headed for a vehicle before the actual crew appeared. An independant journalist and the crew of two sent from National Geographic climbed out following Tiara and then came the rest of the reporting crew, Octavia Wellman and Tristan Alderman. Tristan climbed out fist carrying the boom mic along with the sound recording system that went with it.
To better understand each of those perspectives, the quote will be applied to each perspective starting with biopsychological. Biopsychology is the perspective of psychology that focuses on our brain and nervous system. This perspective also explains how biology affects our behavior and says that the cause of a behavior is our brain. Applying the quote to the biopsychological perspective would explain that the chicken would cross the road because its brain sent electrical impulses down to its feet. This caused the muscles in the chicken’s legs to propel it forward and thus cross to the other side of the road.
The holistic approach recognizes that addiction is a complex issue that can stem from various factors, such as genetic predisposition, trauma, and social influences. Therefore, a comprehensive approach that Proposal Argument:
From my perspective, different theoretical orientations are beneficial for different types of populations. I do not believe one theory fits all, as everyone has different attachment, and developmental levels. In the duration of the graduate program, I have been exposed to various theoretical approaches such as attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, person-centered therapy, acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and a few others. However, I have encountered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and play therapy to be favorable when treating children/adolescents.
The Case for Progressive Perspectives The average American citizen 's perspective of Congress is equivalent to only viewing a still of a three-hour documentary. This is a compelling factor of why mass Americans are adapting a negative prospective concerning what our country is doing and the, albeit slow, progress made by our public servants. News castors commonly broadcast stories covering the latest scandals and setbacks in congress.
In the movie The Breakfast Club all the characters have their own personality, but actually have a lot in common. Claire is your typical popular girl that everyone dislikes or strives to be just like. She's spoiled, rich, and some say she's conceited. She's considered the "princess" of the group. Underneath all that however, she has beliefs and morals that she strongly believes in.
A Necessary Perspective: The New View in A People’s History of the United States When studying American history, one finds it told from one standard perspective; that of the winners, the white men, the upper class, and the heroes. This viewpoint is lacking, often in total accuracy and in ethics. Zinn’s account of US history, however, comes from a somewhat unusual and a very critical perspective. If one is to consider all aspects of events, to understand the significance of people, and even change our attitudes towards practices and towards history itself, the perspective of the loser, the working poor, and the women is vital; this is the viewpoint that Zinn provides in A People’s History. Zinn wrote, “...this book will be skeptical of governments
The three main theories that are most relevant to substance abuse are functionalism, social-conflict, and symbolic-interactionism which only focus on micro
There is only one approach in psychology that studies thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The biological approach believes that the way we are is due to our genetics and physiology. They believe that the activity going on our nervous system’s is what affects the way we think, feel and behave (Sammons, 2009). The physiology in the biological approach looks into how the brain functions. The brain is a very complicated machine as such, the brain is what controls our every move, every feeling and every action.
The main aim of this assignment is to find out the strength and weakness, similarities and differences between the different approaches of psychology such as biological approach, behavioural approach and psychodynamic approach. I have chosen mental illness to evaluate these approach. The biological, behavioural and psychodynamic approaches of psychology are connected to the nature and nurture argument. The biological approach highly talks about nature side of the argument and states that all behaviour is biological and is treatable.
28. Psychological thought has evolved from philosophical inquiry to scientific research. In your own words, describe the value of different perspectives in the field and the need for the subdivisions you read about in Lesson1Psychology is science about human minds and behavior. As a such, it is very complex, and field of research is never ending. Psychology is implements on day to day basis in our life, from commercials, everyday dealing with our kids at home, people at work, to more professional level in professional sports, job market, sales even war and let’s not forget politics.
The biological explanation of the brain in regards to drug addiction is interesting. According to the textbook, "Studies have found convincing evidence that drugs such as alcohol, heroin, and cocaine act directly on the brain mechanisms that are responsible for reward and punishment. " When one use drugs, the drug stimulates the areas of the brain that create the sensation of pleasure and suppress the pleasure of pain, as, a result, the user receives reinforcement to engage in further drug-taking behavior. The psychological explanation of drug abuse, "Focus on either personality disorders or the effects of social learning and reinforcement on drug-taking behaviors."
Retrospectively, certain aspects of the biopsychosocial model are evident. Out of the four of my children who experimented with drugs and alcohol only one became addicted. It makes sense that he has some sort of biological predisposition to addiction that the others do not have. Parental divorce and remarriage preceded an early withdrawal from the family unit which brought about psychological issues such as loneliness, depression, and anxiety. And finally, a social circle of alcohol and drug abusing companions allowed him easy access to his drug of choice.
There are four main perspectives in psychology. These are known as; biological perspective, learning perspective, cognitive perspective, and sociocultural perspective. Each perspective aids in the understanding of human behavior. However, not one perspective can explain all of human behaviors. This is due to each perspective playing different roles in ones behavior.
All these characteristics led to the conclusion that drug addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use. It is considered as a brain disease because drugs change the structure of the brain, and how it works. Every drug affects different systems of the brain. For example, in the case of cocaine, as the brain is adapted in the presence of the specific drug, brain regions responsible for judgment, decision-making, learning, and memory begin to physically change, making certain behaviors “hard-wired.” In some brain regions, connections between neurons are pruned back.
