Quantum mind

considered. Now this theory is not to say that people that are privileged are undeveloped or less developed than those that do not experience privilege; but from my own background in psychology, my theory based on McIntosh’s ideas is that a privileged mind does not have the ability to develop a cognitive awareness to acknowledging such a privilege. It appears that resistance to acknowledge one’s own privilege is the result of a lessened cognitive and conscious awareness. This is further…

The three key things that seem to effect the way that students map and interact with campus are on or off campus residence, transportation method, and major; it should be noted that I believe gender and race have a fairly significant impact on how interviewee’s gave meaning to and experienced campus, and while past conversations with students of various gender identities and with students of color indicate that this is true, I do not have any data to support this hypothesis due to my sample…

insane. “A balance between crazy and almost crazy (O 'Brien).” Coming from the narrator’s perspective, we are given no clues about the condition of his mind, so we are left to draw conclusions from the description of the other men. Kiowa, whose characterization suggests a Native American heritage, is an accurate example of how death affects the mind. After one of the other men in his company, Ted Lavender, was shot and killed, kept repeating the words, “Boom, down. Not a word (O 'Brien).” to…

Over the course of the past week, we focused on three different types of dialogues. In Makau and Marty’s Dialogue and Deliberation, they stated that dialogue is easier said than done, and after participating and leading one myself, I couldn’t agree more. Throughout this paper, I’m going to reflect on how I prepared myself for not only listening but facilitating, my thoughts on how I participated on both sides during the dialogues, and my overall thoughts of the dialogues. While preparing for…

Love Drugs: A Cognitive Perspective In relationships, emotions take hold in almost every way, sometimes, we even lose sight of our brains in favor of our hearts. But what if we completely lost the ability to follow both our hearts and our brains? Recent science has debated on whether or not “love drugs,” drugs that can be used to keep people together or separate them, should be used in relationships. Some argue that these drugs could be used to keep families together or end abusive…

Balance We have been taught at a young age how to feel towards our experiences. Seems like everyone is always asking one another, "Did you like that?", or "How was your day?". Was it good or bad? On the surface, it’s common for human beings to categorize their everyday experiences. However, rather than choosing one side over the other, people must learn the importance of balancing both positive and negative thinking as an important aspect of their life. This is especially important to those who…

Case Conceptualization: Cognitive Therapy Much like most prominent theorist that came after Sigmund Freud, their initial drive was to enhance or disprove his theory of psychoanalysis; Aaron Beck was no exception. Going up in an environment with a depressed mother and anxiety and phobias of his own, Beck worked hard to disprove his own negative assumptions that he was not good enough due to his illness. While his initial major was English and political science, Beck instead turned his attention…

Chapter 6-How to improve long term memory What is long term memory and how it is important? Long term memory is known as the continuous process of storing conscious and unconscious information in your brain. The existence of long term memory can’t be proved physically but it can be in a scientific way. We are not aware of it when we are collecting information and adding it in our long term memory. The duration of how long this memory lasts can vary from a few days to decades. The creation of…

I think the assessments were somewhat accurate. For the values inventory, it helped me understand my values. Off the top of my head it 's not likely that I think about specific things like what I believe in. in truth it actually takes time to stop and pause and think, I strongly value family. The values assessment helped to get a better understanding of myself which is weird. Being the only person with me 24/7 should be an indicator that I must know myself but actually don 't. It 's easy to…

SEVEN NUMBERS It was just an ordinary Friday morning of my eighth grade year with roughly two weeks of school left; my grandma picked me up and brought me to school. When I got to school, I finished up my homework in the cafeteria and talked to my friends. However, when I got into my classroom to begin the day, things quickly escalated. I saw my teacher, Mrs. Williams, writing numbers on the whiteboard- my classmates and I looked at each other confused. What are those numbers for? What is she…
