Following the atrocities of World War II, the world was in awe from the reality of the Holocaust. Across the globe, people wondered how human beings could perform such acts and live with themselves. They assumed that the Nazis were psychotic and crazed; however, during the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a major organizer of the Holocaust, the world was exposed to what appeared to be a normal man (Velasquez). The fact that a normal person could be pushed to such an extreme state spurred even more questions

administered simple psychophysical test but primarily a discomfort assessment. An electric shock would be used on these people, according to a 7-point scale that would determine how uncomfortable they felt with 7 being the highest. Shocks, were delivered to their dominant hand with voltages ranging from 40 to 75 volts. The participants looked at a computer screen that had only two potential task before completing a shock. The participants in this experience were being told that the confederate in the other

Case Study Julia Atungsiri Purdue University Global Case study 1. What is the significance of the orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, abdominal tenderness, hematuria, joint pain, and petechiae? What is splinter hemorrhages and what is their significance? Orthostatic hypotension is the reduction of the systolic pressure of at least 20mmHG or the dropping of diastolic pressure of at least 10mmHg within three minutes of standing as compared to baseline as such, the body is often unable

Hypovolemic shock is an emergency condition caused by loss of whole blood (hemorrhage), plasma (burns), or interstitial fluid (diaphoresis, diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, emesis, diuresis, and diarrhea) in large amounts. This makes the heart unable to pump enough blood to the body (Heller, 2014). The severe compromise in blood flow and therefore systemic perfusion contributes to cerebral, renal, or hepatic ischemia and possible organ failure. It is the most common type of shock in children

conducted their experiment on dogs, where they could study the causes and effects of learned helplessness. There were 3 groups of dogs: the escape group, the np-escape group, and the no-harness control group. The purpose of the experiment used electrical shocks to test Seligman's and Maier's psychological theory. When the experiment was completed, the results collected were as follows: In the escape group, the time it took for the dogs to press the panel and

A Critique of Stanley Milgram’s “Behavioral Study of Obedience” Stanley MIlgram is a Yale University social psychologist who wrote “Behavioral Study of Obedience”, an article which granted him many awards and is now considered a landmark. In this piece, he evaluates the extent to which a participant is willing to conform to an authority figure who commands him to execute acts that conflict with his moral beliefs. Milgram discovers that the majority of participants do obey to authority. In

Design Proposal Report for Fatigue Monitoring System (FMS) By Alvin Kuan, Sarah Fink, Shian Su and Suliman Altaleb 1. Abstract This paper presents some background briefing, implantation, ethical responsibility, and action plan of FMS design plan. FMS is a model purposely designed to detect and measure fatigue variables, i.e., blinking rate, yawning rate and head tilt for fatigue predictions. In addition, FMS will establish a crude estimate of fatigue and warns the user if a threshold has been

left side from compensating for my left side 's atrophy and weakness. The pressure of walking, even cane -assisted, causes extreme tenderness from the onset. When I walk about 100 feet, the stabbing pain in my lower left back and sometimes the shock in my left leg, debilitate me to the point where I must sit down, even though sitting violates workplace policy. Sometimes when I walk, my left hip pains me as if the hip will slip out of joint. When this occurs, I will freeze in place to calm down
