Personal Narrative: My Personal Experience At The IVC Hearings

Since I am unable to make judicial board tonight I would like to state my appeal. In terms of “bumping” the kid who threw the punch I do plead guilty to that charge. However, leading up to this incident I was trying to play peacemaker, as Tim and the others trying to keep this kid out were unable to control the situation appropriately due to this kids hostile mentality. Leading up to this event I had been watching the door all night and just minutes before I had broken up a potential fight between a non Sigma Chi and two other non Sigma Chis who were upset about not being able to enter the party. After I peacefully got those kids to leave I went back up to the steps and calmly told the others who were loitering around the party

I saw my first bond reduction hearing at High Point’s courthouse. A middle-aged woman was in jail for assault on a female, which resulted in minor injuries. The defendant had four biological children and two adopted children. She reported that she had employment before the crime. The defendant was requesting a bond reduction. To help her case, the victim of the crime wanted to appear before the judge to speak on the defendant’s behalf. The judge might not have dropped the case, but the witnesses’ testimony could have persuaded him to reduce the defendant’s bond. The judge asked the witness for identification, but she did not have it. So, the judge dismissed the motion for a reduction in bond. The witness had some power to influence the judge.

In his sermon, “Sinners In The Hands of the Angry God,” Jonathan Edwards, uses figurative language and dictation to bring about an emotional reaction from his Puritan audience. He successfully manipulated his audience by the use of imagery.

circumstances, influences from family, chemical imbalances in the brain, genetic, nationality, and or self-inflicted psychosis.

This is obviously a sign of bad mental health, but there were several incidents that led up to this state of mind. An often occurrence were the fights between her and her husband. She didn’t agree with his ethics and motivations to grow human organs such as kidneys, brain tissue, and livers inside pigoons. “The goal of the pigoon project was to grow foolproof human-tissue organs in a transgenic knockout pig” (Atwood 22). This was an issue that may have caused Jimmy’s mother to be neglectful towards her son was her depression. Depression is a mental illness that affected her everyday life. She was so exhausted with the fights with her husband and the depression on top of that. This caused her to be uninterested in her son and it is also what caused her to run away with Jimmy’s pet. This shows that mental illness isn’t always caused by something, but rather someone is born with it. People with depression always have it, but it can be triggered to where it affects their everyday lives. Jimmy’s mother’s depression may have been triggered by stress about her husband’s job and constant arguing with her husband. Either way, whether it is ones chemical make-up or something that causes it, mental health really does affect the way people live their lives.

After reading this chapter I put my culture into perceptive and what I have experienced that can relate to cultural and historical trauma.

Orange is the New Black demonstrates through the prisoners and officers in charge of them abnormal psychology. In Orange is the New Black we are exposed to many mental disorders that are common and uncommon in today's society. Throughout the series we are presented people with substance abuse, personality, and possible autism spectrum disorder.

There is no indication she has had a manic or hypomanic episode. Her depression may be complicated by grief due to her father’s death one year ago. Her symptoms seem to get worse after his passing.

I personally have never had to deal with the American Legal System. My roommate’s sister on the other hand was not as lucky. Amanda went out to the club in L.A. with her friends. All of them were underage drinking and having a good time. She decided to drink and drive. On their way home she crashed her car. Coincidentally, one of her friends was driving by and recognized her car. He came over, helped them out of the car, and took them to a nearby gas station. An onlooker obviously reported the accident to the police. The police rushed over to the scene. Amanda and her friends went back to the car accident to be met with interrogating cops. Since Amanda left the scene not only did she get charged with a DUI, but also a hit and run. She got arrested

Throughout the week, I met a lot of new and seasoned interpreters and put my face forward to make my presence known as the AVLIC Board suggested. Also I’m a bit of an extrovert, so it’s almost in my nature to say hello to anyone, everyone and everything…even to my own food. I volunteered to be the time-keeper at the conference AGM, and asked questions in workshops and in special topic discussions. There were even discussions I got to engage in with other interpreters after workshops about the field, how much AVLIC has evolved over the years, and even about life in general. I also took my participation a step further by becoming a member of AVLIC’s newly-established Mentorship Standing Committee. With that, I can hopefully be a voice for the

Since Jane is lacking healthy relationships and support it could be implied that her brain is not receiving enough dopamine. Dopamine stimulates the limbic system and matures the prefrontal region of the brain (Hart, 2011). Dopamine is released when a caregiver is happy or when a task is completed. Dopamine is what makes a person happy and proud of their work. It is possible that without a decent amount of dopamine that Jane’s prefrontal lobe is not as large as it should be.

If the chemicals in the brain are having trouble going through the brain then that can cause a psychological disorder such as Schizophrenia. There is also evidence to suggest that the brain of people with Schizophrenia is different than those that have healthier brains. “Some studies also suggest that abnormalities in the temporal lobes, hippocampus, and amygdala are connected to schizophrenia’s positive symptoms (hallucinations or delusions) (Helpguide.org).” In my opinion, the environment one endures can be the biggest factor in the cause of schizophrenia. Child abuse, early traumatic events, severe stress, and negative life events can all have a very huge impact in the cause of Schizophrenia. What someone went through in their past can determine their future.

Many people who suffer from this disorder may have suicidal thoughts, bi-polar disorder and also depression .Upon her arrival at the institution she meets some of the patients who she quickly starts to connect and develop a bond with especially with one of the patients named Lisa who is diagnosed as a sociopath. Psychiatrists and psychologists states that a sociopath is someone with a personality disorder who “displays antisocial tendencies that are ascribed to social or environmental factors.” Other definitions include “A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood.” (Dr.Axe, 2017). With this being said anyone could suffer from a personality disorder and majority of the time it goes unnoticed because we end up blaming other people for the way we feel or react to certain situations. As the movie goes on we are introduced to another woman named Daisy she suffered from compulsive eating disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and also self harm.

Believed mentally ill could be coaxed into normal adult hood though punishment, confinement and moral training.

User requirement analysis approaches fall within two major categories, which are supply-driven and demand-driven. Supply-driven approaches which is also called as data-driven, start with an analysis of all the available operational data. This is a bottom-up technique introduced by Inmon (1996) with emphasis on underlying operational data sources as the basis to establish the scope and the functionality of a DW. Data-driven approach starts with identifying all available data within transactional data source and analyses it in order to produce data mapping.
