Toxic shock syndrome

Have you ever wondered why people don't listen to authority? Or maybe why there is such an issue with disobedience? We see all over the world that there is a major problem in obeying and disobeying. People obey or disobey authority because they desire to conform to society, they fear authority, and because of moral conviction. We continue to be obedient because we want to fit in with rest of the world, were afraid to be different and stand up for what we really believe. “As long as i am…

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-…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
