A Beautiful Mind

Maladaptive: By John Nash not taking his medicine he thinks it will make him closer to his wife again but in reality, it will make his delusions and hallucinations worse in the long term.

Disturbing: It's disturbing for John to put his baby in the bath tub with water in it and not watch the baby because John's imaginary friend was looking after the baby.

Atypical: It was not normal for John to ask one of his students if the Noble prize man if he was real.

Unjustifiable: It is not justifiable for John to explain to others that he sees delusions and hallucinations because he doesn't know its not real.

Dreams & Latent Content

Recently I have had many different dreams about the same thing. My dreams end up that their is a robber or bad guy in my house and steals our valuables and kills my family and when he comes into my room to kill me, I have to fight him and get out of my house. On Dream Dictionary, robbery means being concerned about safety and security. This would make sense in my dream because I recently moved into a new house and I am the only one with a bedroom on the other side of the house so I feel far away from my family. Unconsciously maybe I feel disconnected from my family.
Another dream I have had before is about one of my brothers dying. I usually have the dream about my brother being killed or having a disease and dying. I found on a website that death could mean I fear loosing a person or the person is drawing away from me. I can relate to this sort of because I don't get to see my brother as much as I use to. Also, he goes to the doctor soon to talk about an upcoming surgery so maybe I am unconsciously nervous about it.
Another dream I have had a few times is about me getting in an accident with my boyfriend. I have had this dream a few times and after the accident when we are in the hospital I end up dying and I see how my boyfriend feels and how he tries to get over the fact of me dying. On a website, car accident dreams could mean I feel like my life is not under control. My life symbolizes the car which spins out of control and crashes. I can relate to this because recently my life has changed a lot. Unconsciously I must think my life is too crazy and uncontrollable.

Little Albert

1. I think Watson and Rayner's hypothesis didn't support the actual experiment because they used an infant and tried to classically condition him to different items and animals. When I watched the video the hypothesis didn't match to what they did in the video.
2. In the video they used a white rabbit, dog and mouse and they tried to make Albert afraid of them and after a while when anything went by him he would try to get away.
3. Watson and Rayner would try to classically condition Albert by putting a rabbit by him and when Albert went by it they hit a hammer on a metal bar so it would make a loud noise and did this to different animals too. Albert became afraid of them because of the loud noise and would try to get away.

Bullying, Harrasment, Need to Belong

I think that when Mr. Verboomen came in and talked about him being 83 pounds in high school and was bullied so bad and later in school bullied others. That made me see how much people can change. When Schuette came in, he talked about the legal consequences that could happen if we got in trouble for bullying somebody. I have friends who have been in trouble for bullying and been bullied so I do understand from seeing them what it's like. I haven't really ever been bullied but I have bullied other people. By watching the "Flipped" video that is what really made me think more about bullying. People at school don't think Kimberly would ever have a school shooting but it could happen anywhere and that's why bullying is such a problem. There could be somebody at school right now who is being bullied so much they have thought to have bad things happen to school. Since I have bullied people in the past I felt bad for it by seeing the video. I do see bullying at school happen a lot and I see bystanders including myself never stepping up to help the victim. It is sad to see how bad people treat each other. I think more people should have to watch the "Flipped" video in class to maybe change there minds about seeing people being bullied. The school would be a lot better with no bullying. I hope that the more people learn about this, the more they try to help others who are the victim and stand up to stop bullying.

Twilight Zone

I thought the girl with the bandages would look scary or not normal but she looked normal and all the other doctors and nurses looked different. So in the show she wasn't normal but in real life she was normal. I was surprised at the end because she felt like she was not like everyone else and there was a village she could go to with other people like her. I think beauty does change. Throughout years beauty changes from bigger people to skinny people, to what color hair people have. I think in Kimberly most people think beauty as in tall and skinny people that are more rich and are successful with their lives.

Prison Study

I chose to blog about prisoner 8612. This prisoner wanted to go home and leave the simulation and was explaining how he was crazy but, Zimbardo said you could go home at anytime so basically 8612 was trying to find a way out even though it was unnecessary. Prisoner 8612 said he was going to try to escape everyone to get out of the simulation the day before he left. In the beginning 8612 was mentally stable but a few days into the simulation he went crazy.

Inkblot

I think my inkblot looks like a scary Halloween mask, Mardi Gras mask or a butterfly.
