Sone of these capital punishment can be needlessly cruel, like hanging. Ideally, hanging dislocates the vertebras, producing a fracture in the second disc that constricts the airways as does the rope itself, but the brain remains conscious for about half a minute. The guillotine does not extinguish life in an instant neither; the brain activity continues for about twenty five seconds because our brain operates as long as it has oxygen, and it takes some time to realize that oxygen and blood are lacking. The gas chamber is like forcing someone to take their own live because the person has to take the fatal breath on his own, even though some people try to hold their breath to prolong their lives a few seconds, but the gasping makes it almost a voluntary act. Electrocution is supposed to be painless and instantaneous because the tremendous charge of electricity sent into the brain scramble the nervous system, making it impossible to sense pain.
1)In the Ghostbusters ESP study ,the aspect that was experimentally wrong is that the man was supposedly testing the effect of negative reinforcement on ESP ability ,and negative reinforcement occurs when a person do a behavior in order to avoid an unpleasant consequence .If the guy was the subject he received positive punishment instead ,the woman in this case don’t do anything to avoid that electric shocks ,she was just doing the same that the guy did trying to answer what figure was on the card ,but the experimenter were lying then both. It could be improving following scientific standards taking account of relevant evidence without disregard, and adulteration.2) My hypothesis in this case would be “applying electro shocks to the experimental
These methods were grisly and inhumane. Prisoners sometimes took up to twenty minutes to die. Some had to be electrocuted several times while screaming in agony. In 1977 Dr. Deutsch created a method of execution involving several different kinds of drugs to humanely induce death. Officials liked this method of execution as it medicalized the process and was easier to witness.
Israel and staff members of the JRC claim that the shock only inflicts minor pain equivalent to a bee sting for a couple of seconds. However, patients that are capable of speaking describe the pain as intense and like ‘being underground in Hell’. Jennifer Gonnerman, the author of the article decided to try the shock herself and described it as “a horde of wasps attacking” her and that “two seconds never felt so long”. Despite the tortuous pain of the shock, there is very little if any evidence that this treatment plan is effective. On several occasions, government officials have attempted to ban the use of the GED.
First, the shape of the device is similar to a cross, “You are strapped to a table, shaped, ironically, like a cross, with a crown of electric sparks in place of thorns” (Kesey 69). Harding describes the structure to be a cross, and even goes further into the allusion by talking about a crown of electric sparks, instead of a crown of thorns. For many in the hospital, the “Shock Shop” symbolizes the end of sanity and the transfer into a Chronic, or worse, a Vegetable. Going further into the allusion, Ellis, who was turned into a Vegetable by the EST machine, is left nailed to the wall for all the patients to see. The actual thought of the “Shock Shop” scares the patients enough; however the result of the Electro Shock Therapy is what really keeps the patients from rebelling against Nurse
Inhumane and Strange Obedience, something you should wish for from your dog but not another human being. The shock generator experiment is almost Nazi like. It was not administered properly and most would say dangerous and inhumane. We, people on earth, have been given orders for as long as we can remember, but is it fear that makes us obedient? Mental health and psychical evaluations are needed in an experiment like this for the safety of the subjects and learners involved.
This would be an issue for someone because you wouldn’t be able to function as you normally would, which would cause problems in your everyday life. Sensory deprivation can affect you psychologically, causing you to become over or under sensitive to things, like over reacting or sometimes showing no emotion. Compared to how a person would usually respond, you might over react or show no emotion. So from my research, I learned how torture doesn’t only affect you physically, but in other ways as
Often painful and traumatic, these treatments physically degraded the patient’s mental status; and in extreme
Hudgins II During electrocution, it is estimated each person lasts about two minutes in which case large quantities of electrical currents are sent throughout your body, sometimes enough to cause the person to set fire. In these two minutes, it isn’t numbed or
Evaluation of persons for surgery is generally recommended only after focal seizures persist despite the person having tried at least two appropriately chosen and well-tolerated medications, or if there is an identifiable brain lesion (a dysfunctional part of the brain) believed to cause the seizures. When someone is considered to be a good candidate for surgery experts generally agree that it should be performed as early as possible. Surgical evaluation takes into account the seizure type, the brain region involved, and the importance of the area of the brain where seizures originate (called the focus) for everyday behavior. Prior to surgery, individuals with epilepsy are monitored intensively in order to pinpoint the exact location in the brain where seizures begin. Implanted electrodes may be used to record activity from the surface of the brain, which yields more detailed information than an external scalp EEG.
Music therapy is defined as “the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program” (“American Music Therapy Association”). It cures mental issues such as depression, anxiety, and hypertension. Music therapy was approved and became an effective and significant way to cure mental injuries of veterans since World War Two. During World War Two, an era of cruelness and death, military hospitals were filled with physically and mentally injured veterans suffering in recurring haunting nightmares and shocking memories of the battlefield. In 1945, the U.S. War Department even issued Technical Bulletin 187 to create a program that encouraged the use of music to rehabilitate veterans’ emotions.
Learning Journal unit3 Roman classical art and architecture had a significant impact on Christian art and architecture. The second and first decades of the third centuries saw the emergence of a distinctively Christian form of art. (Farber, undated) The early Christians' use of the same artistic medium to convey the significance of their religion and encourage additional conversions is when the Romans' effect on the development of Christian art was at its greatest. They employed murals, mosaics, sculptures, and illuminated manuscripts.
Study was conducted to evaluate injury extents caused by electric traumas to investigate the pathophysiology on a microscopic level (Thali et al., 2004). MRS, is however a technique useful for estimating Post-Mortem Interval (PMI) or the time after a person died. Before this, standard methods are based on the temperature of corpse but they are limited to around 48 hours after death (Ith et al., 2010). MRS makes use of 1H within decomposing brain tissue to estimate the PMI more than 48 hours of death (Ith et al., 2010). It is however not as widely use currently as the estimation is affected by temperature and temporal
1.1 Music Therapy Music therapy is the practice of using music as a form of treatment for certain conditions (especially mental conditions). The idea of using music as a form of therapy dates back to Aristotle’s and Plato’s days. Aristotle understood the great impact music had on listeners and spoke about how it can affect the emotional states of an individual. “Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul… when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued with the same passion; and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form” (Aristotle). Music can affect the brain and body in unexpected ways.
Effectiveness is defined as the degree to which objectives are achieved and the extent to which targeted problems are solved; the ability to be successful and produce the intended results (Cambridge). Effectiveness is determined without reference to costs and means "doing the right thing" while efficiency means "doing the thing right". Various meta-analysis established the effectiveness of CBT in depression (Hans and Hiller, 2013); Social Anxiety Disorders, General Anxiety Disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder (Stewart and Chambless, 2009); Specific phobia (Wolitzky-Taylor, Horowitz, Powers, and Telch, 2008) in clinical settings. Findings from a meta analysis (Ebert, Carlotta Zarski, Christensen, Stikkelbroek et al, 2015)
