System Shock 2

scholarly article, “ Behavioral Study of Obedience” written and conducted by Stanley Miller, an experiment was performed to see if a group of amenable participants, named subjects, were willing to provide electrical shocks to another person, the experiment tested how far down the severity of shocks the subject would administer to the victim. The question is would being in the position of control and having a feeling as if the subject cannot leave, makes shocking another person justifiable? To…

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…

This condition was in one of the clinical correlations which I thought was interesting how the body’s energy processes worked against themselves. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare, inherited life-threatening condition that is induced by general anesthetic drugs such as halothane. Generally, most cases show no signs or symptoms until individuals are exposed to anesthesia. However, there are cases where an individual with MH goes under anesthetics and will not react. The reaction includes a…

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 a sheet of…

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…

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…

In the first 3 types, perfusion is changed as a consequence of cardiac output decrease, whereas distributive types of shock are related to a primary dysfunction of the resistive component of the cardiovascular system. In vasoplegia, vascular tone is reduced and there is a noticeably depressed constrictive response of arterioles to vasoconstrictors, and is a main cause is septic shock (Levy et al., 2010). Sepsis-induced vasoplegia is a component of a generalized circulatory dysfunction that…

will affect any age or gender. It is cunning, quick to manifest itself, and life-threatening, it is septic shock. Sepsis is a crafty syndrome that most people may not even realize they have until a family member realizes they are acting different and takes them to the emergency department. First it starts with an infection, then early sepsis, which if not treated it turns into septic shock. Sepsis is defined by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign as a “life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a…

globally, is in many ways the opposite of economic and human development. Explain what she means, provide examples from Iraq, and argue EITHER in support of her analysis, or against her analysis. The argument presented by Naomi Klein in her work, “The Shock Doctrine” is that the privatization of the government in the form of disaster capitalism, as seen after the Invasion of Iraq, is counter to economic growth and human development.1 Disaster and crisis was used to swiftly implement the radical…

electric shocks. Being that there was forty men who answered the newspaper advertisement, the Milgram Experiment was to be conducted a total of forty times; therefore, the student (Milgram 's confedetate) was to be put through agonizing pain for forty trials. Although Mr. Wallace decided to participate in this experiment, the morals behind the loud cries for help should not be inflicted purposely on another individual, much less for a total of forty times. Moreover, the range of the electric…
