In “The Bias of Language, The Bias of Pictures”, Postman and Powers talk about language and pictures. They discuss the differences between stationary pictures, moving pictures, and language. They talk about the way the three are perceived, interpreted, and sometimes misinterpreted. They also speak about the descriptions and judgments that are made based on what people uncover out of the three. It is very interesting how people sometime infer some things totally wrong based on what they see and get when they use their eyes or even how something is misinterpreted from just reading a sentence.

Each person faces diverse events that can influence a gain of hope, or loss of it and sometimes even a gain of guilt. The decision can be tough when one is in a difficult life or death scenario, where loosing hope can be extremely easy. The series of difficult situations the characters go trough in the novel, allows the author to portray various social comments.
PSY.270 2/14/14 - Substance Abuse Checkpoint There was a slight difficulty evaluating the responses of discussion question 2. In a collaborative environment with different levels of understanding and diversity of personalities; you will almost never get the same response over even one topic. I find this intriguing but digress it also leads to the reason I follow Freud’s theories most. Sigmund’s professional and personal opinions on psycho dynamics are one of the broadest spectrum of study. This gives a sense of leniency to cover all basics within the understanding of one area rather than having to dig through each psychological perspective before making any professional decision.

Every one tries to explain what starts behavioral abnormality, and the proper responses to it, whether that is therapy or punishment. Certain actions may be totally accepted in some cultures yet looked down upon in others. These influences may be so accepted that the society actually affects the feeling of the individual.
Although, the majority of political cartoons place a negative outlook on whomever they are addressing, they “can encourage us to look critically at ourselves, and increase our empathy for the sufferings and frustration of others,” U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in opening remarks to the U.N. seminar. But they can also accomplish the opposite. They have, in short, a big responsibility” (Burkhart). Ruben Bolling understands his responsibility in his cartoons, to never cross the line by making a cartoon without knowing the facts behind the issue. Furthermore, political cartoons ideas are endless “Unless there is one subject of overriding importance or timeliness on a particular day, or some special outrage” (Block, 3).
This would help with conquering the negative adjustments made by the CCF (conscious critical faculty).

I would give him a simple phrase such as “I am getting more confident each and every day” to repeat to himself and when possible to visualise himself with all that confidence because mental practise of confidence will improve confidence as well as taking physical steps to
“Is talk Cheap” “Don’t believe everything you hear of read”, a common quote to help us pick truth out of information. Information is available to us in many forms, like television, internet, radio, newspapers, books and so on. But before accepting certain types of information we are constantly bombarded with, it comes down to the individuals’ beliefs and perception of processing that information. Humans like to be right, the feeling of being right, so anything that is in likeness to their beliefs distort factual thinking. Some humans don’t like to think thoroughly and the brain snaps to the more suggestive decision making process…information more suited to our liking.
