I think that you really put into perspective how much we use persuasion in our daily lives. It is very true that adding in that people already have an interest in what they are doing they are more likely to do it. It’s also interesting to see how often we try to get others to do something with us. People are such social beings. I think that this discussion board shows us how much psychology we use everyday.
I definitely made a lot of bad decisions when I was younger. I think that almost everyone has regrets about things when we were younger. That’s another part of psychology is understanding regret and moving past it. It’s tough when you are young and with friends to say no to things. When you are young all you want to do is fit in. This aspect of things can really influence how you behave in a group setting.
I can agree with the feeling jealously of other being able to enjoy their weekends. I have worked Friday and Saturday for the past five years since I graduated high school. It’s tough because most people don’t work weekends. It’s hard having to miss events and outings because of work. It’s tough making sacrifices but it will be so worth it in the end. It’s true that tougher events in life make you feel stronger. That is a nice feeling, like you can take on the world. As deb stated we are so close to the end of school. Then we can get back to a better work life balance.
I agree with you absolutely ask for help when needed. I am someone who always ask for help. Knowing when you can’t do something is apart of being self aware, which is so important for being a healthcare worker. It was really rough at the beginning learning how to juggle all the parts of life and still go to school. Going to school really takes a team. Learning these time management skill now will only help us once in the field. I’m so glad you were able to meet wonderful people who were able to help you. I am sure you will make a great nurse and I’m glad your feeling more confident.
I think more times than not the parents believe that they know absolute best for their child. While in some cases that very well may be true. Even as parents things can get clouded the best decisions may not be made. I think that it’s important to remember about children that are old enough to know what’s going on but cant say no. How do we best respect the wishes of patients in this awkward stage without overstepping. How can these doctors ensure that there is enough information for the parents and children.
I really like how you related it to children in hollywood. Which is another topic of high debate. I do also like the idea of having someone partial to look at both sides of things. I think that would help keep the best interest of the children in mind. I was thinking of studies done on children with terminal illness, but even then the parents might just be trying to save their child. Without thinking of the potential harm in an already tough time.
Overall if the right measures are taken it can be done.It’s interesting how everyone says this discussion board relates to raising children and I don’t disagree. Learning more about psychology can really be beneficial to learning about children. It would be interesting to see a study about conditioning techniques and young children. To see how different age groups and backgrounds would change things. I think it’s sweet that your children still go to wash up before dinner. Sometimes the conditioning can lead to nice traditions for the family.
I really like your examples of conditioning and learning. It’s interesting to see how much of our daily lives relate to psychology. You like flying on planes but your body doesn’t. I can relate to that. I like swimming but get really nervous around water. The grades were a nice incentive to do school work but could also be damaging. The last example is being able to read a room. I can definitely relate to that as I’m also really good at that. I do also agree with it being bad too as you stated “walking on eggshells” can be tough.
Wow, tied to a tree for seven days. That’s intense but very cool. I really do like the spiritual views to native culture. Such as suffering and pain to heal others.Do you think that the spiritual side of your culture affects the way you perceive certain things? I also didn’t know that there were reservations in Canada. It’s crazy to think about how diverse culture is all around us. I think that it’s wonderful that you learned to live off the land. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. I’d love to learn more about your childhood and other practices your culture participates in.
I like how you didn’t narrow your thinking of just one culture and focused more on big picture things. It is true that Americans are loud, when we travel we are told that often. Americans are complainers, it’s just a fact. I think that greatly attributes to the fact that we are outspoken on many different things and healthcare is one of them. How do you think being “free thinkers” affects how we give healthcare as nurses? I do think that being soft spoken people are less likely to complain or seek help when something’s wrong. It’s interesting to examine how all these factors can change so much.
I think that a study of how hot baths can influence emotions and part of the brain would be cool. Another added aspect you could add, would be seeing if people with impaired mental status would respond to the hot temperature and what part of the brain didn’t tell the body that the water was too warm/too cold. Taking that a step further I wonder if we had the right technology if we could correct that and make the right pathways. It’s so cool to see how far technology could come with helping people with brain impairments.
Your research is very interesting. Some of those parts of the brain I have never heard of. I think that studying about the hippocampus would be cool. It would be interesting as deb further stated, I would be curious to see why the long term sticks so much better than short term. I would be interested in a study done to assess short term memory and traumatic brain injuries. I would also like to see how long term changes after traumatic brain injury, how much of that information would stay and could be recovered.
That’s very interesting that while taking one gene out, it affected all the others. Causing an increased susceptibility to other diseases while “curing” another one. I wonder how many other instances that has happened. We don’t know the long term effects of all this new technology, I agree with kim that we shouldn’t be testing it on humans. Science is tricky business and so is nature we shouldn’t be messing with it.
I really like the idea that the people that were creating would be different and feel like less. I think that it’s a really valid point. What will all of this mean in terms of healthcare. While it may decrease disease, will there be a whole new set of problems? What will this mean in terms of evolution. I also do agree that we should leave science out of it and let nature take its course.
I agree that children learn everything from adults! That’s why you have to be so careful around children they pick up everything you do and say. As you stated its important that they learn safety and responsibility from a young age. As they will use that for their whole lives. Men can be aggressive because of testosterone. Hormones play a huge role in how we behave. Humanism is such a cool aspect to psychology, I really relate to being interested in that. There is good in every person
