A Beautiful Mind

One of the four is maladaptive. It is a type of behavior that inhibits a person's ability to adjust to particular situations. An example from the movie is when Nash avoided the food room with the pens. Even when he was a professor he ate in the library instead of eating there because of being denied in there earlier in his life. Unjustifiable is when there is no reason that can be given for an action. An example for this is seeing a fake roomate and his fake daughter. Also, there is the adjective disturbing. Disturbing is the interfering with the normal arrangement or functioning of something. The example for this is when he believed Russian spies were after him and he hid in rooms and treated his wife badly. Lastly, there is atypical. It is committing abnormal or unusual behaviors. Nash left his baby son laying in a bath tub full of water and saw visions of a US government official Parcher shooting his wife.

Dreams and Latent Content

I have had a recurring dream of a fast, medium-sized dog that chases me and tries to attack. The website says that it means that I have people verbally abusing me who I thought were friends. These dreams happened when I was about five so I am pretty sure that it doesnt work in this situation. Also, when I was nine or ten I would have a dream about a large dinosaur and I was in Jurassic Park. I liked those movies around this time so that is probably why I was having them. Dream moods says that it means that you need to discard your old ways of thinking and get new ones. This could have been true, but considering that it happened nine years ago, I cannot remember. Lastly, I have had a dream earlier this week twice of being pulled over by a police officer in my car and being let go. The officer recognized me and let me go. The dream website says that it means that help is on the way and that you need intervention. Again, this doesnt seem fitting, but I'm sure that it fits for some people and some situations.

Bullying

I always knew that there was bullying in our school, but not as much. After Verboomen talked to us, I realized that there are way more cases of bullying and harrassment in this high school than I ever believed. I think there is a line between acceptable and unacceptable bullying. It is a very small line though. I believe that a lot of times people mistake joking for bullying and sometimes kids take it the wrong way. Although the bullies need to stop and are sometimes relentless, sometimes the victim needs to try and deal with problems themselves without always telling on the person, because when you enter the real world you have to deal with problems yourself and you will not have a teacher holding your hand the whole time. I dont think that I will stop being a bystander, but I will avoid bullying kids.

Twilight Zone Reactions

I was not really surprised at all about the ending. They never showed the faces of the doctor and nurses so that made me pretty suspicious and Derek predicted it halfway through. Also, the fact that it was the Twilight Zone meant something weird would happen sometime in the show. Beauty is somewhat subjective because you can choose what you think is beautiful and there can be different opinions on what is and what is not beautiful. At the same time though, there are certain looks that most people would agree on as good looking or not good looking. Beauty in today's world is a lot more on looks than personality. The main components are how you look, but it also involves how you interact with people and what your personality is.

Stanford Prison/Role Playing

I think that prisoner 416 had the biggest impact on the study. He actually refused to eat and had the other prisoners revolting against him. After only a few days of role play, everyone had embraced their roles too fully. When it got to the point where someone is starving themselves and prisoners are getting punished like they were real convicts, it had to end. Basically, the experiment had turned into real life and the attitudes from day 1 to day 6 changed greatly. On the first day everyone was laughing and taking it as a joke and by the sixth day the guards were punishing and publicly humiliating the prisoners in front of eachother.
