DEFENSE MECHANISMS
ASSIGNMENT IX

Engages in several of these defense mechanismA, one of them being RATIONALIZATION. 

RATIONALIZATION: is a process that occurs when a person create logical and socially acceptable explanation for the behavior o he or she has engage in.

Marcos: is a teenager who lives in my building, i know him since he is 7 yeras old now he is 15. I feel bad for his action. He was arrested many time, for gang fight.  All the time you can see him in the hall, outside of the building or in the park with bad attitude. He smoked marihuana, cigarette, and drink alcohol.

His mother and father try to help him. They bring him to a program and different school, in one occasion his mom said that he like his life and it is nothing thayt she can do for his behavior. When you ask him about his behavior he always gonna love his life because we want to get respect gor his brother who is in jail and has the same attitude like him. His brother now condened and is gonna be 10 years in prision, and try to open the eyes for his brother who all the time sent to him a letter request him his that change his life because he is on time. But marcos dont want to listen one of the letter that his received his brother try to let him know that they can be together in jail.

Assignment VIII – FALLACIES

•retrospective determinins- the argument that because some event has occurred, its occurrence must have been inevitable before hand. El chapo Guzman, escape from a maximum prison, authorities vowed wouldn't be long before cartel chief Sinaloa, behind bars again. Prision security cameras last recorde image of El Chapo Guzman, into a shower on Saturdays night, just before he apparently crawled throgh a hole in the shower area of his cell block at the Altiplano federal prision.

•argument from incredulity_i cannot imagine how this coul be true, therefore it must be false. The NASA offer bring people to planet Mars, they argument is that in Mars exist life, my quetion is how they know that if just they a robot, but no image capture any person. I thik that they idea is false they doesn't bring evidence that exist life in planet Mars, and also i think they take person there just to died.

Assignment VII – Memory Bias

Rosy retrospection: I think this run in all person because when you are with your parent, is the best moment that everybody can have; you don’t have to worry about nothing. I feel that that my life is good, but I miss a lot my life with my parent, and would like to never grow up, and be with then the rest of my life. I also can remember my first job is was very easy, now my job is a little hard with many training all the time.

Generation effect (self-generation effect) the moment when all my cousin and I was together and remember how our life was, for example when we going to primary school, what dress with used when we going to a birthday party, who receive the best gift in Christmas, who has the best qualification in school or also who has the most pretty and long hair. But the most important how many year pass and we are always together.

Childhood amnesia: I can remember that all Sunday we are visit my grandmother house, and when my mother bring me to different place to have a fun to eat friend chicken, pizza, ice cream, and how I like be all the time seat with my grandmother. At the moment my family still does the Sunday family except me and my two cousin we maintain communication and try together call all Sunday.

Google effect: I think this the most that I had, I like history or public person or country. All the time I used google to find the information. For example always I like to google about John f. Kennedy, president and always I forget his day of born, that is May 29, like me but different year J when I had I conversation who remember his life all the time I google his day of birth because I think always we remember when he died.

Observational Learning

Is a process in which learning occurs thorough observing and imitating.
Months ago when I was take a home assistance class, I observe how Mr. Thomas takes serious when teach the class. He was very strict when he used all he experience during class, especially when the patient is bind. During his practice and reader at class and was excellent and help me a lot, for my future.  At the time that I have to do my 8 hours for, New York City Department educational, at a nursing home, I don’t have any difficult situation with my patient.
Every day on my class all the time we used a big and heavy doll to practice in bed and a wheelchair, also we p[practice how help a patient for bath time, how bring patient from bed to wheelchair with a  machine, and how you help feed the patient.
In all agencies that I apply I always pass my test and never had any question wrong.
When I do my service in a nursing home I got 98, the nurse recognize that I do excellent job, I’m very thanks full with Mr. Thomas, and My patient for the opportunity. Ms. Gloria is bind since she born and she was my teacher when I was with her assistance, I observe how independent she was, more than other normal person.

Part I

Manifest Content: One night I dreamt that I had a baby boy. The baby was wrapped in a blanket.  The baby was probably 3 months old. I could see that someone was holding him, but I couldn’t see the face. While standing in front I could sense that the baby was mine; but what made go ‘’huh?’’ was the image of the baby. He looked like little me and he was smiling back at me.

This dream only lasted about 20 seconds. I felt, but I picked up all of this from this dream and it was in the back of my mind all day.

Latent Content: Up until today, I think I had this dream because is my wishe to have another boy and when I was pregnant last time with my little girl this wish became bigger.

Since I was like five o six years old, I remember all my family and some neighbors talk about dream all the time; especially one of them said dreams occur because your soul gets out from your body and then comes back.

Part II

I agree with psychologists from the cognitive perspective because I think it all depends on what you believe in J some people hold significance to dreams, while others don’t.

SENSATION & PERCEPTION

In many cases, a pregnant woman or new mom is made to feel that they no longer have a place within a company, with attitude towards pregnancy are increasingly hostile’. One of my friends approached her female manager at a company about her maternity leave; she found herself bargaining with the director. When she returned to work, her boss informed to her that she would be entailed to special treatment which amounted that she be posted in a new job which involved kitchen and cleaning. She refused and her boss explained to her that this was the only position for her now. This story is increasingly common.

A report released today by the group working family revealed a high level of maternity discrimination for the past year. Despite this very few women take any formal action, according to the most recent research in 2005 of women who lost they job due to pregnancy discrimination. This is known as “The Motherhood Penalty”.

Part II

I think that our five senses operate independently albeit in some cases a dominant one may covertly influence the other one. Interestingly, two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. The ability to send and receive from each other thoughts and feelings come from a spiritual connection beyond ourselves, I think. At this point in my life, I have experienced that when two people are spiritually close to each other, they are often able to sense what the other thinks or feels.

Free will versus Determinism
   
I believe that free will does exist. It exist because everything you do in life is a choice you can choose to be productive members of society, by working, paying taxes, obeying the law, having a family, and live a good life is the sense that you’ll be able to pay your bills, eat and take care of your family.

Or choose to not be a productive member, to not be a productive member to not work, to break the law and not be responsible for your family.  

The outcome of those actions would lead to unhappy and unhealthy lifestyles. Everything is cause and effect; your actions will lead to the result of how your life ends up.

EXPERIMENT PROPOSAL

Question of interest: Why do some doctors that perform pulmonary research still smoke?

Hypothesis: The reason is that many people think lung cancer is a result of a personal choice to smoke cigarettes; however, the vast majority of people who die from lung cancer quit smoking long before they receive a lung cancer diagnostic.

Operational Definition: EPOC (informally called after burn) is a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following activity intended to erase the body oxygen deficit. In recovery, oxygen (EPOC) is used in the processes that restore the body to resting state and adapt it to the exercise just performed.

A Survey will be conducted.

Preliminary Research: Several studios have since found no difference in lung cancer death rates among smoker who got annual chest x-ray s versus does who did not.

Experimenter’s thoughts: Lung cancer needs financial support, for lung cancer research could be the key to funding the research that discovers a cure.
