This chapter was pretty boring to me actually. I'm not sure if others thought the same way, but thats how i felt. The only really interesting thing i think was the driving activity where you learn about the different parts of the brain. That was pretty cool.
These different dream theories on page 107 were really kinda interesting. I didn't know that there were different theories behind your dreams. So thats something that i learned in this chapter that i didn't just learn, but that i will use it too!
One more thing that i learned was about the addictions and going through withdrawl. Its very interesting. Sure i have heard about it before, well, people going throught it and dealing with it. But i have never read about it like this before and saw it in a context. Its pretty cool to hear about and read about.
One idea that i thought was very interesting was the whole physical dependance thing. It has to do with withdrawl. I just didn't know there was an actual name for the pain that you go through. So that was very cool.
When i think about the whole withdrawl thing, it really brings into my mind what my brother goes through. He is an alcoholic, so i really agree with the whole pain thing that they talk about. Its not a good thing, but one thing i don't agree with is that they don't consider people that have withdrawls a person with a disease. They just consider it an addiction. So what i am trying to say is that i think they should be talking about how it is not only an addiction, its also a disease.
About Me
- KatieJ.
- Hey everbody.. My name is Katie, i'm a senior at Edgar High and i am 17 yrs old. I only have one brother, and i can't even consider him a brother. I don't have any pets, but i do have the neighbors dog! I believe that the fact that i am adopted has shaped my life. If i wasn't adopted by my parents, i wouldn't be who i am today. I thank my parents for that. My mom is always there for me when i need her, sure she can be a mom, but she is always there as a friend too. Me and my parents are very close, and i think that is the way it will always stay. To me psycology is important because it is all over the place! It is one of those things that you will never be able to run away from. So everybody just has to lean back and accept it. The definition of psycology to me would have to be... The reasons why things happen and how they happen. The reasons we make the choices we do, why people are depressed, why some people are hyper, and why we act the way we act on a daily basis.

Katie-
ReplyDeleteI know we had to redo the brain activity thing this week, but that was from last week's chapter... I agree with you on the not thinking an addiction is also a disease. I totally think it is, or even that an addiction IS a disease.
I actually found this chapter interesting. I think it's because I dream alot and now I have some knowledge of why and what some of my dreams mean.
