Shock

the experimenter Stanley Milgram found a few contributors to test out his theory. Before he started his experiment he had to pick a teacher and a student, who each got a piece of paper to decide which one is going to give the shocks and which one was going to take the shocks. The learner was strapped up to an electric chair while the teacher would be on the other side talking through a microphone providing word pairs. The teacher would tell the student a list of words, then the learner read…

Hypernatremia occurs when the body has increased serum sodium levels that go over 145 mEq/L. This increase in serum sodium levels results in hypertonicity, pulling water out of cells resulting in cell shrinkage. Based on extracellular fluid water volume (level of hypertonicity), hypernatremia can be isovolemic (most common), hypovolemic, or hypervolemic. When isovolemic hypernatremia occurs, there is a loss of free water whilst maintaining near normal sodium serum concentration. Isovolemic…

said, “The moment it hears the tone and feels the shock, inside its head, a bunch of neurons start to build. Whenever you create a memory, it 's an active cellular connection. What we 're talking about here is associative memories, an association between two things in the outside world.” Basically, a connection was built between the tone brain cell and the shock brain cell. After playing the tone a second time, the rat would brace itself for the shock. Succeeding trying it out on a rat, they…

Learned Helplessness Any animal which has realized it has no control over its own actions after dealing with pain or abuse with no escape for an extended amount of time a person or other animal has learned to be helpless. Through no fault of ones own inescapable punishments encircle ones life and flight from that inevitable punishment soon permeates ones mind resulting in no escape and no way to decipher between good and bad actions and in most cases learning is severely impaired.. They can…

Mallard. She had a heart disease and any seriously shocking moments could trigger a fatal heart attack. Mrs. Mallard is an unsympathetic person based on her desire to become a widow, the perceived joy and freedom of her husband’s death, and the shock she faces when she realizes her husband is still alive. Mrs. Mallard felt stuck with no power and desired to become a widow because a widow had almost as much power as a man. She had two people watch over her because of her heart condition-…

myself. As soon as I discovered there was nothing like I expected, I was anxious and homesick. I wondered how long it would take me to adapt to this new culture and the people. Only a couple months passed, but I already experienced several culture shocks such as tipping, holding doors, greeting strangers, kissing in public, and difference view of respecting to elders, etc. Most of them I experienced in high school, it was where I learned the most interesting and weird things of American…

In Milgram’s experiment participants continued to give the shocks to the student even after the student begged the teacher to stop. In some occasions, the teacher stopped for a few moments but continued when the man in the white coat told them to proceede. In a particular moment, the last teacher (one with white shirt and color collar) continued to give the student the shock but not before being reassured that in case that something happened to the student he would…

soldiers led lines of naked Jews to their deaths in gas chambers at grimy concentration camps across Europe while Milgram’s subjects were merely asked to flip a switch and shock a man on the other side of the wall. German soldiers watched their victims die while Milgrim’s subjects were assured by the experimenter that the shocks “may be painful, but they’re not dangerous” (1). But is such an argument actually valid? Most antagonistic authority figures like Adolf Hitler and his fellow Nazis would…

When a phone company puts out an advertisement, their main goal is to promote a message to prevent such tragic events from occurring in society. There are many advertisements trying to grab the audience’s attention to make a difference. In this advertisement, AT&T, uses a real life situation to show the audience how risky it is to use your phone while driving. Since AT&T is a major phone seller, they take advantage of that to reduce the number of accidents in a majority of people to…

If you have ever read one of those articles on when a patient first finds out they have cancer, you immediately ponder to their reaction. I think about how their heart drops deep into their stomach, how the shock makes their facial expression as dull as a back of a butter knife and I think about how there are over 2 million thoughts running through their minds right then. I thought about how scared I would be to lose all my golden blonde locks of hair, how sickening I would look being as pale as…
