...world to me. I do not care of others talking about my family because I am honestly proud to be in it and to be inherited all the characteristics from my parents. According to my neighbors, I got my personalities and my appearance looking from my father’s side. From my round face to my chubby body, it is all from my grandmother passing to my father then to me. Growing as a child, I spent my time in my old little house with my best friend, as know as my grandmother. However, it got replaced by a brand new house and she passed away due to cancer; therefore, most of my childhood memories got forgotten day by day. We used to go to the supermarket every weekend by public bus in Vietnam. Since she is not here with me anymore, I...

...Schizophrenia, Psychosis, and Lifespan Development University of Phoenix Psy 410 November 19, 2012 Schizophrenia, Psychosis and Lifespan Development Disorders are categorized by the DSM-IV-TR and put into different levels of occurrences. Some of these are age specific and developmentally. One such category is Disorders usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, and adolescence (Hansell & Damour, 2008). Many of these disorders can be spotted at any stage of life the prevalence of some of them is more likely at different developmental times. Some of these disorders are Schizophrenia, psychosis, and lifespan developments with the psychological stress and physical disorders thrown in there. This paper will also look at the biological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components of schizophrenia/psychosis and lifespan developments. Schizophrenia/Psychosis Psychosis is defined as a state of being profoundly out of touch with reality (Hansell & Damour, 2008, Pg.455). The symptoms of this disorder consist of a complete loss or separation with what is considered normal reality. Hallucinations and delusions are often the most common symptoms that are noticed first and help to diagnose someone with this disorder. Psychosis is popular in many different mental illnesses but is found more often than any other in schizophrenia. In personality disorders, though, the bizarre thinking and experiences are less severe than they are in schizophrenia (Kring,...

...a whole. For example, alcohol related automobile crashes are more prevalent among the ages 16 to 20 than drivers 21 and older. Teens are also more vulnerable to alcohol related brain damaging then adults are, because of the fact that our brain is still in the process of developing, and growing. Alcohol use also interacts with conditions such as depression, and stress disorders, which induces teens to commit suicide, the third most leading cause of death between the ages of 14 and 25. In one study, 37 percent of eighth grade females who drank heavily reported attempting suicide, as opposed to the 11 percent who did not drink. Underage alcohol use also causes learning impairments. In one study, Brown and colleagues evaluated short-term memory skills in alcohol-dependent and nondependent teens ages 15 to 16. The alcohol-dependent teen’s youth had greater difficulty remembering words and simple...

...himself with today was a result from his child hood and life experiences. Even though the Misfit kills this family, he is not fully responsible for his own actions. The Misfit kills, because he has had a terrible childhood, he is mentally unstable, and he simply likes what he does. But this still does not change was he has done or make him any better of a person. The Misfit is a killer, but may not be responsible for all of his actions because of his awful childhood. The misfit explains very well the way he was raised from a child to his present status and personal life, which he also admits and believes helped, shaped his character today. When the Grandmother suggested that he must have come from fine people, he simply replied, “Finest people in the world”. The Misfit also goes on to say, “God never made a finer woman than my mother and my daddy’s heart was pure gold”. With a statement like this I would think that the Misfit was being not being serious when it comes to his parents. In the end it really is a true mystery about the way the Misfit actually feels about his parents. One might say that the misfit did not care for his parents at all. As a child the Misfits own father did not think he was normal, in the short story he quotes what his father referred to him as saying, “My daddy said I was a different breed of dog from my brothers and sisters”. This quote proves that he was different from the beginning of his child hood and something psychologically was already...

...Middle childhood is a very important transition in a child's life. It's where they learn to instill what they have been taught, good and bad. Children learn from sight and experience. A child who has had a traumatic childhood is going to act out on what they have experienced, even if it's wrong, it's all they know. A child that may have experienced the best life, can still act out, but the ratio is much lower. When children enter adult hood, this is where they get to display their self and their moral development that they learned throughout their childhood. Moral development will show through their actions and personality. If there were no social skills or love from the parents in that child's life during the first five years of life, then that child will live their lives accordingly. Gender and Peer relationships...

Single Mother gives her son a toy that he likes and later finds out that the doll is possessed by the soul of a serial killer as the antagonist is chucky also knows as Charles Lee Ray Whose soul was passed into a Good Guy Doll. I like this movie because it’s scary and has scary sound tracks I like the music they play during the time the mom is looking for the doll chucky. I enjoy the movie so much because it’s a doll that kills people for him to gain a real life body into starting over with his life rather than being a doll forever. The parts I don’t like about the movie is that some scenes when the actor is ether hit or cut they don’t act like they are injured or the cut was in a different place then it was previously shown before it. The movie relates to me because as a little kid my parents showed me the movie and scared me so much I peed and screamed and cried, but it gets better my parents dressed me up as chucky for Halloween and...

...private virtue, he never stood a chance. The government makes public demands on Winston through forcing him to doublethink, changing the past and love. Doublethink is the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. It is not lying because lying is saying something that is wrong and knowing that it is wrong but still saying it. The party forces Oceania too accept both beliefs for example one week when the chocolate ration was 30 grams and the very next week is was lowered to 20 grams. Even though the ration is lowered drastically the party holds such a great amount of power over the people and their perception, “The telescreen-perhaps to celebrate the victory, perhaps to drown the memory of the lost chocolate- crashed into ‘Oceania, ‘tis for thee’.” (Orwell 28) The party forces them to watch the telescreen and it starts to play the national anthem in celebration. Everyone around Winston is happy, but Winston keeps his believes to himself,...

...Last summer in 2013, my kids and I went to visit my dad and loving grandparents in a town called homestead near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Returning after 12 years of being away, everything looked differently. Many of the stores there seem to be new; there is even a theatre at the waterfront now. Although I have been in this place before everything seem very foreign. I could not help but think that perhaps those things were already there from the gate. As a child my father never let me out the house. I was not allowed to go to the movies or shopping with my friends. I felt alone. My father and I never really got along, we are too much alike, so visiting this summer, I was apprehensive to how my visit would turn out. Upon arrival, my grandparents’ house was first on my itenery. As we approach there house I walk in, to the familiar scent of old wood, moth balls, and ancient drapes filled my nostrils. I walked towards my grandparents, I could still hear cracks of the old wood floor. Childhood memories started to fill my head as enter a cubicle that use to be my room, which now is being occupied by my brothers clothing. My grandparents have 7 bedrooms in there home. My father also lived with them he stayed upstairs in the attic. Living with my father, he insisted on me being upstairs with him right up under his nose, uncomfortable, srunched up, with no privacy. My life with him was so miserable. I was so glad that we were just visiting. Knowing that I was not going to have to re...

The main theme is the two speakers of the poems are remembering their fathers. Both of the fathers in the poem seem to some many similarities, but for the most part are very different Individuals. Firstly, in the poem “My Papas Waltz”, the speaker describes his father and himself dancing. The speaker alludes that the poem is a memory from his child hood. Implied in the lines "The whiskey on your breath/ Could make a small boy dizzy” (Roethke lines 1-2). More importantly he depicts his father as an alcoholic.

Furthermore the speaker’s perspective is son or daughter reminiscing the things the father did for him or her as a child....

Being bipolar you can be sad one minute and before that minute is up can be manic. I firmly believe I have been bipolar all of my life. I was officially diagnosed with it and other mental diagnoses’ several years ago. It just took a while to get the proper regime of psychotropic medications to get me stable. When I was a kid I could go days without sleeping and still make straight A’s and then I would crash and even though I was forced out of bed to go to school I did not want to go. Part of not wanting to sleep was the nightmares of the atrocities that happened to me as a child and into young adult hood....

...necessities of the country. For example, the education system in the USA is only compulsory between the age of 3 years and 14 years (Jan, 2009). Looking at the basic education system, it can be sub-divided into four basic sections each taking a different duration. The first part is the pre-school level. This level varies from country to country mostly running from two years to three years (Terri, 2000). This level is not compulsory in most countries but it is very essential since it creates the educational base for the child. In most countries, the teachers in this level are not employed by the government thus this poses a major challenge in the education sector. This also makes the level to be omitted when the education system states of the years spent in school. The classes undertaken in pre-school education are most on basic skills and memory training. The children are subjected to several speed test and storytelling sessions which helps improve their memory (Terri, 2000). The literacy work introduced mainly deals with basics of the number system and the alphabet. The most common levels in pre-school are the kindergarten, pre-unit and the nursery class. In education systems where the pre-school spans for two years, the work-load from the kindergarten class is combined with the load in the pre-unit (Jan, 2009). The next...
