‘Obsessive love has the capacity to drive a person to insanity, leading to irrational behaviour, alienation and despair’

Mary Rowlandson did not suffer from Stockholm syndrome. Although true she displayed symptoms that could be interpreted in such a way to convince one she truly suffered from the disease. However the symptoms displayed by Mrs. Rowlandson also can be associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

“Anxiety is the signal of danger which mobilizes the human organism’s resources at all levels of functioning in the interests of conservation, defense, and self- preservation.” (Anxiety 1) If a person suffers from anxiety there is a major loss of control and then an attempt to regain that control because of a fear that they have. Anxiety disorders are one of the most frequently occurring mental disorders in the United States. However, anxiety disorders are not only found in the United States. They are found throughout the world. They just happen to be most predominating in the United States. In this paper, I will be discussing the generalized anxiety disorder and how if effects society today.

"even our negative emotions help us survive. for example, aren't our suspicious often justified?" most likely someone with a ______ theoretical perspective made this statement "I knew right after we got home from the hospital that our kid had a problem," the parents said. unless the parent is using 20-20 hindsight, the child's diagnosis most likely is "i'm concerned about Ritalin use; its possible effects on children's growth, and its increasing heart-attack risk in hypertensive adults" an acquaintance worries. your best reply, based on the most recent research is "it is obvious that this case of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder arises from an early childhood fixation." which type of psychologist

Love exists in the short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” by Alice Munro and in the short story “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” by Raymond Carver. in Munro’s short story the plot is that of a mentally ill wife, Fiona, who falls in love with another patient while her husband still tries to hang on to their old love. Her husband eventually wants to have an affair with the wife of the man his wife is having an affair with. Their love changed because of their circumstances due to ill health. Carver’s story discusses the different definitions of love due to the type and quality of relationships; everyone has a different definition. Love also exists all over the world within different environments and cultures. The concept of love depends upon the environment in which it inhabits. Love is dependent on the life of the people in love and it also depends on their current environment. Nature and nurture are also huge factors into the development and process of love. What nature and nurture mean is whether it is due to how the person lives and acts along with their personality compared to whether it’s all in their genetics beforehand. Love is more on the nurture side instead of the nature side of human experience.

Watching the video has educated me to think differently and not to form conclusions based on what I see on TV. I cannot say I can relate to anything that had happened to everyone in the video, but being an African myself I feel like there a lot of things that might be happening around me that I do not notice. The only things I can say is that when I was younger most of the things I saw on TV scared me and haunted me day after day. There were even times I did not want to spend time outside because of the fear I had of running into someone who might harm me. The Mean World Syndrome is a fear of the world where people cannot trust each other or people from other social groups. For this reason, the way I see TV will be different because if

Phillis Wheatley was a slave from West Africa who was kidnapped by human traffickers and brought to Boston at the young age of seven. Later she became the servant of Susanna Wheatley. Being a house slave meant that Wheatley was exposed to western ideology like the bible which caused her to leave paganism and become a born again Christian. Phillis truly did believe that the bible was a guide for life like the revolutionaries did.

She thought black people could be saved if they believe in

This documentary caught my attention right from the opening lines. People, in general, do not like to admit when they are wrong, so when the narrator began by claiming that the entire set of beliefs he had grown up with and lived his life by were wrong and “untrue” it made me stop and consider how that would affect a person. To have your entire way of thinking be proven invalid would be an unsettling situation to put it simply. I could not begin to imagine how that would feel, but I tried to keep this thought in mind as I continued with the rest of the documentary as it explored complex ideas involving education, employment, and obedience.

Repititions and short sentences strengthen the message of the text. Repititions of the phrase ‘No hope’ reaches its crescendo at the end of the sentence.

General mistrust of people. Heavy viewers are more skeptical about other people’s motives. They stay connected to statements that alert people to hope the worst.

Love is a neurochemical con job that sustains people. Many people are influenced from their abundance or lack of love. This influence can lead to bettering a person’s life or destroying their life. Frankenstein is a prime example of someone who grew up surrounded by love and his choices still led him to make horrible decisions.

everywhere. Both love and lust can be found in all types of relationships; one can love their significant other, their friend, their relative, or anyone else who is a part of their life. These two emotions hold the power to influence the decisions of others. Those who make decisions based on love or lust can have good results like showing affection, or the results can be horrendous like stalking or harassing the person they are in love with or lust for. Love and lust are two powerful feelings that can be shown in different ways and can also be influenced by other emotions, such as jealousy, resulting in different forms of violence or harassment.
