6. It is Jack’s lack of a stable, male role model that is to blame for his actions. To what extent do you agree?

Based on class lectures (Trainor, 2014), I would diagnose Pat with Bipolar I disorder. The main requirement for this diagnosis is a Manic episode. One manic episode is described when Pat caught his wife and another man having an affair. He beat the man, and then he was arrested and taken to the hospital. He remained in the hospital for several months. Prior to this event, he felt that his wife and the

During their first therapy session, Bob listed out his problems. These issues ranged from turrets to cardiac arrest and were summed up with Bob’s mindset that “If I fake it, then I don’t have it” (Bob, What About Bob?). Afterwards, Dr. Marvin diagnosis Bob with acute separation anxiety and a multiphobic personality. This diagnosis is accurate and Bob’s behaviors show it; he feels like he has to see his therapist every day, he is scared to leave his apartment, or to be in a crowded room.

C. greater difficulty concentrating, for example if your studying for a test, staying up all night is not going to help you the next day because that information, instead of being stored in temporary memory, it can be stored

Bipolar Disorder is a brain disorder that is characterized by abnormal changes in mood, energy and activity levels (“National Institute of Mental Health”). Manic-depressive illness is also another name that bipolar disorder is commonly referred to as (“National Institute of Mental Health”). This disorder has four basic types including, bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymic, and any other which do not perfectly fit the first three. All four of the types have episodes of extreme highs, manic periods, and extreme lows, depressive periods. Symptoms can range greatly and depend on what type of episode the affected is having. Manic episodes can include, but are not limited to: having extraordinarily high amounts of energy, activity,

     Jack also had a strong sense of paranoia. He constantly thought that his wife Wendy was out to get him. He thought that she was going to take their son Danny away from him and accuse him of abuse. I feel that although Jack had more symptoms of schizophrenia it could be justified that he had an antisocial personality

The depression is concerning as it lasts for a considerable amount of time after each worry session and takes away his pleasure in his usual activities. Because Daniel's anxiety only led him toward having heart attack like symptoms twice in the past this is not considered a consistent symptom. To be diagnosed a specific disorder, the symptoms should be reoccurring. His family showing concerns for Daniels behavior proves the validity of an ongoing illness.

Throughout the movie, Jack is suicidal. He self-pity himself and thinks he is somehow being penalized for his deeds and what he told the murderer on the radio, he even start talking to a doll saying, “Do you ever get the feeling you’re getting punished for your sins?”. There are several DSMs connected to being suicidal. One is fatigue and loss of energy, feeling of worthlessness or unwarranted and misplaced guilt on a daily basis. Also, weakened capability to think or focus. Lastly, persistent thoughts of death, repeated thoughts of suicide with no detailed strategy or suicide attempts. The idea of killing yourself originates from more than one part of the brain. One such place is the Frontal Lobe where reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving

The children landed uncharted island far from any semblance of police, parents, or even teachers. The island was almost like the “Neverland” that Disney taught us about years ago, but without Tinkerbell and a magical home with all their needs. Jack and the children in this adventure were in a heap of trouble. They were many, some smaller and some bigger (littleuns and bigguns). These kids had to organize themselves into some sort of unit, to more efficiently find a way home. That is where the trouble begins. When one or more humans come together, a hierarchy is always established. Similar to when one goes to a restaurant and the waitress only addresses our father for the majority of the tables decisions. When this hierarchy forms, the decisions this leader takes will always be classified as good or evil, and the society will be judged by the character at their forefront. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of The Flies”, Jack Merridew is the character that takes leadership in the society and proves humanity is inherently evil by demonstrating human’s: selfish tendencies, competitive nature, and hopelessness.

Jack cannot deal with the fact that Karen is changing and her values are changing. He is very pronounced about the fact the he has not changed indicating to Karen that he does not want her to change either. However, it is hard to see Karen stray from

I was shocked to see how Jack has become so vicious since his rise to power progressed drastically. I was also surprised to see how Jack’s attitude has changed extremely. This is because I didn’t expect Jack to use the kidnap strategy to force Sam and Eric to join his tribe. However if they didn’t agree to join, they would be maltreated or possibly killed by Jack. Thus, this shows how Jack is quite violent nowadays. With that being said, as his attitude changes, he position in the community rises as well. This is shown when he calls himself the Chief. As a result, in my opinion, I feel that the author is trying to convey the fact that Ralph has lost most of his power to Jack and that Ralph has barely any power left in the society now. Therefore,

Bipolar disorder is a long-term mental illness that is formerly called manic depression. There are many types and episodes of bipolar disorder. The three main types of bipolar disorder are Bipolar I disorder, Bipolar II disorder, and Cyclothymic disorder.
