This problem of taste loss due to aging needs to be…

Taste aversion therapy is where an aversive stimulus is associated with an unwanted behaviour to therefore extinguish it. One of its primary principles is that all types of behaviour is learned and therefore any undesirable behaviour can be unlearned, with the appropriate method (Aversion Therapy, 2014).

In most cases, people with impairment of the olfactory organ experience a more profound loss of taste as compared to smell.

Using the Rosenbaum-Ford debate I will be analyzing how Abbas Kiarostami’s 1997 film Taste of Cherry’s epilogue and final scene comment on post-revolutionary Iran using the open image as well as how each has argued on what the scenes have achieved in relation to the rest of the film.
