Questions
Question 1. In your Opinion, What do you think about this representation of Hypnotization?, do you believe there is some truth in it.? Why or why not?
Answer:
It is gullible to think about how hypnosis is represented or interpreted in the entertainment industries or clinical settings without full understanding of the terminology. I believe that it is pertinent that we understand the definition, meaning, hypothesis and proven scientific researched theories and conclusions about hypnosis, and then we can comment about its representations with clarity of mind and understanding.
History of Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a Greek word, “meaning hypnos, “sleep” + osis, “condition of artificially induced condition,” (Harper, …show more content…

The answer is simple, hypnosis is for everybody, is working for everybody, everybody use hypnosis as they wish, hypnosis can never be monopolised by a particular area of life or culture.
Now, coming back to what I think about the representation of hypnotization, I believe there are some truth in it, because it works for everybody. Science and medicine cannot lay a claim on hypnosis and monopolize it, the entertainment industry needs hypnosis, the religious group want hypnosis, the medical field needs hypnosis, so we cannot and should not fight how hypnosis is portrayed, rather we should amplify the psychological, scientific, and medical angle of using hypnosis. We should raise our voice and portray hypnosis the way we use it.
Question 2. What would be a more accurate representation or display of Hypnotization?
There is no more accurate way to represent hypnotization, than to market the good side of hypnosis. We need to do more research and bring out more important facts about the positivity in using hypnosis for scientific and medical purposes. There is an urgent need to canter the negative portray of hypnosis and replace it with its benefits. No field of study should cry foul about hypnosis, rather every field should carry hypnosis the way it is working for

First, this ideology that hypnosis leads participants to have heightened confidence levels in their memory recall can result in a testimony that can sway a jury and possibly lead to the false incarceration of an innocent person. Second, the research that was conducted also concludes that hypnosis does not improve memory; people in a hypnotic state are as likely to incorporate irrelevant information into their testimonies as regular people are. This makes the recall elicited under hypnosis as reliable as the memory produced regularly. Accuracy levels among the memories recalled in the studies signify that memories recalled under hypnosis are no more accurate than the memories of a regular eye-witness. With regards to the case, the testimony provided by Mrs. Walter should be deemed inadmissible because any information provided to the court through the use of hypnosis should be disregarded, as it does not add any value to the memory Mrs. Walter is trying to

Hypnosis is a topic widely discussed throughout society. There are many different points of view on it, whether it’s a battle between its existence, or a debate on the pros and cons associated with it. One can say it’s amazing; the fact that one can potentially read the lives of others. One may differ and find the idea disgusting, taking into consideration the privacy invasion.

Hypnotist Dan Candell returned to the school on November 12th and students lined up at the doors as early as one hour before the show to snag the best seats in the auditorium. By 6:30 (half an hour before the start of the show) the bottom section of the auditorium was nearly filled to the brim with excited students. Parents, students, siblings, and even audience members from other schools waited anxiously for Dan Candell to take the stage and work his illusionary magic. The first few minutes of the show involved a few humorous stories, all of which involved past experiences Dan Candell had at his other shows, and then he tested everyone in the audience to determine whether they were visual learners or auditory learners to weed out who he would choose to hypnotize.

Three common myths about hypnosis are immoral behavior, exceptional amount of strength, and that people can be forced into hypnosis. Immoral behavior is a myth because individuals that are being hypnotized are still aware of their surroundings and can deny any request thrown at them. Having an exceptional amount of strength is a no brainer. Just because you are hypnotized does not mean you can be stronger than someone that is not hypnotized. You cannot force hypnosis on anyone not willing.

It is a widely-known popular believe that hypnosis can unlock repressed or hidden memories. With so many television shows and movies suggesting that the use of hypnosis may help a witness to remember the face of a criminal or the exact details of an event, it is no surprise that hypnosis has taken root as a credible method of memory retrieval. As an article from the American Psychological Association states, “… people may believe hypnotically induced memories are more reliable, mirroring a mistaken cultural belief that hypnosis acts like a truth serum. Hypnosis is "on thin ice" when used to recover memories, as is the case with most other memory retrieval techniques” (Smith).

This is where the patient may revivify a past traumatic experience and start to relive the physical and emotional pain. Under hypnosis it is very important to establish a safe and secure ‘place’ for the patient that they can freely explore their deeper memories without fear. Another advantage of hypnosis is the very relaxed state. A patient in a relaxed state is more open to new ideas of thinking. A session of hypnosis is beneficial for the calm state it creates and it allows the patient in some way to ‘work out’ their
