Document Summary

Today,word-widely people consume drugs which refer to the group of hallucinogens. hallucinogens are a type of drug that changes a person"s perception of reality. A lot of people use these drugs overdosing the amount,that causes a death. death also occurs due to suicide accidents and dangerous behavior. For instance,leaves on a tree may look like they make a checkerboard pattern to you but actually don"t. This is very profoundly tied with a social factor. When person becomes addicted to the drug he most probably will experience : 1. physiological addiction-occurs when the cells can"t function the way they have been without the drug they have become accustomed to. As a result, painful withdrawal symptoms are observed ,causing most people to reach for the drug to make the pain go away. 2. behaviour addiction-the individual is not addicted to a substance but the behavior or the feeling brought about by the relevant action.

Could you please talk about this movie (An Affair to Remember )

analyze them how? you will discuss the character's behavior, thought, motivation, perceptions, and personality of character using thetheoretical frameworks outlined in chapters of the entire book, but particularly from lifespan development, persoanlity, personality disorders, and any other chapters you feel relate particularly to your character. i should recognize vocabulary and language pertinent to the research outlined in the chapters,( not simply your own opinion using lanaguage you might use sitting in a cafe).

you are trying to Make the CAse of the theories, seeing if you can actually make sense of the character and relationshiops using theory.... all the various learning theories, sociocultureal, psychodynamic, etc etc.

a few questions you might consider:

can you Predict and Explain the characters' behavior based on psychological research?

why do certain characters react/act/feel one way, and other characters another way?

is the character a realistic one based on research or are the characters in the movie purely fantasy based with no logical explanation for behavior?

can and do ...more than one theory explain the character? do all the theories seem to converge in predicting the character?

From what I can tell and what thus far all people with whom Idiscussed this subject confirmed is that time appears to"accelerate" as we age.

Digging a little, most explanations I found basically reducedthis to two reasons:

As we age physically, a time frame of constant length becomesever smaller in contrast to the time we spent living
As we age socially, we are burdened with an increasing amountof responsibility and thus an increasing influx of informationwhich impairs our perception of the present

To be honest, neither sounds entirely convincing to mebecause:

In my perception "local time" (short time frames that I don'teven bother to measure on the scale of my lifetime) is alsoaccelerating. Just as an example: When I wait for the bus, timegoes by reasonably fast as opposed to my childhood tortures ofhaving to wait an eternity for those five minutes to pass.
Even after making a great effort to cut myself off from societyand consciously trying to focus on the moment, the perceived speedof time didn't really change. (Although I did have a great time:))

Which leads me to a simple question (and a few corollaries):

Am I just in denial of two perfectly plausible and sufficientexplanations, or are there actual biological effects (e.g. changesin brain chemistry) in place, that cause (or at least significantlyinfluence) this?
Is there a mechanism, that "stretches out" time for the youngbrain so that weight of an immense boredom forces it to benefitfrom its learning ability, while it "shrinks" time as the brain"matures" and must now act based on what it has learned, whichoften involves a lot of patience?
If there is such a mechanism, are there any available means tocounter it? (not sure I'd really want to, but I'd like to knowwhether I could)
