This is the contradicting of Jung. Jung has analysis himself to experience the unconscious through his dreams and fantasia Jung believe that he was strong enough to make dangerous journey and come back to talk about it. His goal was to understand the unconscious from the purpose viewpoint of scientist. Ellis thoughts are that society is more disturbs and it more inclusive and exact “people disturb themselves by thing that have happen to them. And by the view, feelings, and actions” (p16) Horney’s (1950) also Adler writes that our Emotional reactions and lifestyle are associated with our basic beliefs and are therefore cognitively created.
She then brings up the issue of unnerving newspaper headlines such as “Bloodlust Video Games Put Kids in the Crosshairs” (205). Sternheimer feels not enough emphasis has been given to other issues such as “social rejection and depression” (206). She also brings our attention to information on statistical evidence. Sternheimer believed it to be “controversial” and feels it “exclude[s] a host of other factors” (207). Sternheimer feels it is these other over looked factors that are truly the cause of “young killers” (210).
Homework Section 7.3 Study Questions 6. What is Goldman’s fake barns thought experiment? How does it attempt to undermine the casual theory? Goldman’s fake barns thought experiment is to contradict the fact that justified true beliefs is the best definition for “knowledge”. This example about Henry looking at fake barns makes him believe his is actually driving through a district full of barns, does not make it true knowledge because they are fake barns.
Rachels discusses Descarte’s thoughts on the dreaming state, and how if we can be made to believe that our senses are correct there, than they cannot be trusted. The author discusses Philosophical thoughts on Idealism, in which it is considered that our perceptions of physical objects are not “real”, they are only mental ideas as recorded by our senses and imagined by our brains. Rachels discusses the attempts by Descartes to find a foundation for knowledge by identifying absolute truths, and concludes that the task may too difficult, or impossible. Quotes: I found it intriguing where the author wrote, “The mind does not simply record what passes before it; instead, the mind actively interprets experience according to certain built-in principles. Therefore, what we think of as “simple”
The Working Memory model re-formulates the structure of the Short Term memory and argues that its purpose is not to store information and pass it to the Long Term memory, but instead it is the source of our conscious thinking processes. It is a system that allows us to manipulate information, not just store it before passing it on. It is, instead the site of our thinking processes. Rather than being a unitary store, it is made up of a number of subsidiary systems. Research supporting the working memory model can be seen in Baddeley, Thomson and Buchanan’s research in 1975 of the phonological loop.
For example, when she asked, “how fast was the car going when the two cars smashed?” the participants gave a much higher speed than when the question was phrased, “how fast was the car going when the two cars collided?” This research created a lot of skepticism over the accuracy of eyewitness accounts and since then DNA testing has found a lot of convicted felons to be innocent. A remarkable 75% of these were due to false eyewitness testimonies. This means we are constantly, unconsciously reshaping our memories with experiences and knowledge we find after the
Both events contained false accusations, wrongly gained power, and a breakout of mass hysteria. Arthur Miller hoped that his novel would reveal the mistakes society was currently making in the 1950’s and allow society to fix them. Rather or not we improved because of him specifically depends on who you ask, but a better question may be, will it happen
How can you be for something and blame them at the same time? It is unethical to say that because you drive an SUV, this is an indication that you agree with 9-11 or that you are a terrorist! Joshua asked the question in Joshua 5:13(NIV) “Are you for us or against us”. You cannot be both. Your syllogistic reasoning must
Darius L. Brewer PY 434 Dr. Neushatz March 2, 2010 A Review of Kassin and Colleagues’ Studies on False Confessions In reviewing studies by Kassin and colleagues on the power of a confession, several weaknesses in the system are revealed. First, a study of the persuasiveness of a coerced confession revealed a tendency for jurors to vote guilty even though they were told the confession was involuntary. The same study also found that the actual jurors claimed to have ignored inadmissible confessions when in fact the confessions increased the likelihood of them voting guilty. Second, Kassin revealed the difficulty of distinguishing a true and a false confession. Even the investigators with training and years of experience demonstrated
Individuals have also made good arguments about the negative outcome that racial profiling might bring to our society. Obviously it has led the dominant race to have superiority to the minorities – racial discrimination. James Zogby, the president of the Arab-American Institute have made a point that he have seen a lot of dark skinned people being searched and treated with humiliation, which is really wrong – Racial Relations. David Harris, a writer and Professor at Toledo College, have already written a couple of books about racial profiling. He states that law enforcers think that they would be more accurate in targeting a suspicious group, but in reality, what happens is the total opposite wherein officials have inaccurate results in targeting the suspect—Race Relations.
