...children. The cycle of life is repeated over and over. Some psychologist developed their own ideas or theories about life and two of the psychologist with big ideas or theories are Sigmund Freud and John B. Watson. Sigmund Freud’s Theory In the psychoanalytical theory Freud outlines that deep motives, inner drives, and unconscious needs are the foundation of behaviors. These forces influence our development and our behavior as human beings (Berger, 2011). He developed his theory by observing and listening to the thoughts and fantasies of people. He came up with three stages of development in the first six years of life. They are oral, anal, and phallic in the first stage the oral stage is being dependent on one parents for food and nourishment, anal stage is when a child learns to potty train and go to the bathroom on his/her own. The last stage is phallic stage in this stage a child learns to identify there self as either a boy or a girl, they also learn pride, fear, and envy. Freud claims that all behavior is linked back to these stages of development. John B. Watson’s Theory “Classical Conditioning is really simple, a stimulus causes a reaction and the reaction is rewarded. Therefore you train the person or animal to react and after some time even if the reward is no longer available the reaction is still triggered by the stimuli” (Berger, 2011). Operant conditioning is somewhat different the task is consequence based...

...race. It is multidisciplinary because it welcomes the input from different aspects or fields of psychology or science. Lastly development is plastic because it continually evolves and changes. It can be molded into different shapes and forms. A theory is as an idea or a set of ideas that are intended to explain facts or events. The beginning of the twentieth century saw the birth of two new theories. The psychoanalytic theory and behaviorism became the two general theories of psychology. Originating from Sigmund Freud, the psychoanalytic theory contends that the root of human behavior starts with unconscious thoughts and internal debates. The first six years of life are divided into three stages of development - the oral stage, the anal stage, and the phallic stage. Freud further stated that two more developmental periods follow in early childhood. There is latency and the genital stage. Freud...

...prior assignments. 1) This topic is important to me because throughout my life I have constantly researched different diets, hoping to find one that will help me lose weight and keep it off. With this research I hope to find one that not only help me lose weight, but also begin a new life style. 2) As a result of the on again, off again weight gain I began to see myself as a failure, and also as a fat person who could not keep the weight off. Through this research I am hoping to find not a diet but a life style that is healthily. I hope to be able to recognize a Fad diet as soon as I see one, and be able to educate my friend and family on this matter. Who is your primary audience or reader? Why? Be detailed in your answer about your audience. 1) The targeted audience would be people looking for a quick fix diet, maybe the girl that needs to get into that little black dress this weekend or the boy that will go swimming for the first time with a new girlfriend and wants to look slimmer fast. 2) I believe my secondary audience would be people like myself that just want a diet that works and are looking for new ways to lose weight. Not a quick fix, but a diet that is not very difficult and keeps the weight off. 3) I think the majority of my targeted audience would agree with me, even though the truth hurts. Fad diets are not healthy and are indeed a quick fix. But, people sometimes want to believe otherwise, even though the proof is presented to...

...Maria Arriola Allegra Hyde English 101 16 November 2014 The American Diet Getting a fat whopper from McDonalds, large fries and a coke is seen as an average meal for Americans. There are many diets out there like the Paleo diet, and the Atkins diet and the standard american diet which all revolve around the consumption of meat, dairy and fats. The very thought of an American eating a vegan plant based diet is seen as extreme and often questioned. Eating no meat, or products derived from animals automatically makes one an extreme animal rights activist that solely lives on salads. Nutrition is often overlooked by doctors but it may be the underlying issue of a spectrum of problems. Thomas Edison once stated “The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but will rather cure and prevent disease with nutrition.” Many do not realize the great importance of nutrition and its correlation to health. What enters the body may greatly affect the overall individual physically and mentally. Americans have become unhealthier by the years due to the vast number of processed products sold in our grocery stores today. Many do not take notice of their daily consumption of food while others obsess over the very thought of their next meal. There is a great epidemic in America where more people die from the effects of overeating rather than starvation. Many resort to drugs, and surgeries as a quick fix in hopes of improving their health which leaves many wallets...

...Dieting: Effectiveness Of The 3-Hour Diet Against Fasting Emmanuel Frimpong-Williams University of the People Abstract Dieting has become a very important subject primarily due to the fact that people are now aware of the dangers associated with obesity. This has led to many diets being developed. This paper investigates the claims of one of those diets, The 3-Hour Diet. The 3-Hour Diet encourages people to eat breakfast within an hour after waking up and subsequently after every three hours. It is claimed that the diet help people to burn more calories than fasting because the body’s metabolism rate increases with increased intake of food. In this paper, that claim is tested using two groups made up of 50 volunteers each. The...

...The two diets that I am comparing is the DASH diet and the Mediterranean diet because these two diets are ranked the top 2 “Best Diets overall.” I am interested in the effectiveness of the two diets and how difficult it is to maintain these diets. The DASH diet, which is ranked number one in the categories of Best Diets Overall, Best Diabetes Diets, Best Diets for Healthy Eating, and Best Heart-Healthy Diets, aims to prevent and lower high blood pressure by revolving around a diet consisting of fruits and vegetables and lean meat. To add on, exercising regularly will result in losing weight as well, although it is not required to exercise when following the Dash diet. The Mediterranean Diet, which is ranked number two in Best Diets Overall,...

...At first i just thought that dieting only meant you lost weight, now i know that isn't completely true. not only would a diet of only Double QTR. Pounders with cheese make you gain weight, but if you're a male, it could potentially determine the lifespan of your future sons, son. As a woman, pregnancy could mean changing your diet completely if you really care about your child and know bout this. And in changing your diet, of course that means something further than just stop smoking or drinking so much. When it comes to genes expressing themselves or showing themselves so much, your diet is one of the key factors. As the paper stated, a males’ efficiency or consistency of your eating habits will actually effect your sons offspring through their lifespan. i don't think you get it. The fact that I eat so often means my sons children will live less. now that I know this, every time I eat ill effectively be killing my grandchildren. So no more fun in food anymore. Also (kind of) related to dietary habits is your consumption of products contained inside of polycarbonate plastic. Just drinking a water bottled with this plastic will have an effect on your children. Through the mice it made the offspring yellow like ones eyes during liver failure. through the mice experiment it was shown the offspring birthed from the mothers that were not fed the BPA in the plastic were brown and healthy. As it turns out, if the mother is fed BPA but still fed methyl rich foods, thus giving the fetus...

...Fad Diets: Positive or Negative? Keith Daugherty DeVry University Fad Diets: Positive or Negative? Chad, a middle aged man, goes to work every day of the week to provide for his wife and three children. He wants nothing more than to live a full and healthy life and to always be there for his family, just like his father was there for him and his mom, growing up. Chad attended his annual check-up with the family care provider that he has seen for many years. He has always felt fine and thought he was as healthy as can be. While Chad was with his family care provider, he was told that his cholesterol levels were high, that he has high blood pressure, and that he has an increased chance of experiencing a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. His family care provider decided that Chad needed to lose some weight and start eating healthier in order to lower his blood pressure, lower his cholesterol levels, and decrease his chance of suffering a myocardial infarction. Chad agreed to make his doctor’s recommended lifestyle changes because he wanted to be there for his family no matter what the cost. After leaving his family care provider’s office and speaking with this wife about the bad news, he realized that he did not have a plan of action as to how he was going to lose the extra weight that was the source of his health problems. He didn’t know many things about eating healthier or maintaining a healthy lifestyle so he was unsure of where to begin. Later that...

...people going on the outrageous fad diets and then later hear them complaining about how they gained all the weight back and then some. Then there are those ‘fad diets’ which scare me, as do the dieting pills. I mean they can be helpful for some, but losing weight really quickly cannot be healthy for anyone. I believe that healthy eating and exercising are the best way to stay healthy. There are endless amounts of diets that we may choose from. Some of the most popular diets are the Atkins Diet, Mediterranean, Vegan, Weight Watchers, Raw Food, and the list goes on. The food choices people make isn’t only about filling up, it can also be an expression of who we are, when we are, and sometimes what we value in a sense. The expression, “You are what you eat” now takes on another meaning in this world of carnivores, herbivores, fat free fanatics, raw food, and junk food junkies. In today’s world, we are fascinated with the latest diets celebrities are following and with what other people are eating. Commercial advertisements and reality TV often showcase people with these crazy food cravings and uncontrollable obsessions. It is like our new entertainment. Meanwhile, there’s diet propaganda that encourages young women to ‘starve’ themselves while others promote endless amount of pizza and beer. As a species, the human race is getting fatter. Obesity rates have increased by 214% since between 1950 and 2000. Yet there are daily dieting ads, diet books in every bookstore, dieting tips...

...5, 4, 3, 2, 1, DEATH HAS OCCURRED SOMEWHERE AROUND THE WORLD because someone decided to risk their life going and doing something when they know about the dangers that could happen along the way or at the specified location. Whether it is because of a dare, a bet, or just because a person thinks they’re stronger than the forces of life and death, someone is dying every 5 minutes, every 30 minutes, every 1 hour because of a bad choice that a person or group of people make(this is probably why the news will live on forever ha-ha, but jokes aside). Because of this brings up the statement of whether people in life-or-death situations should be held accountable for their actions and to this I say yes; people should as opposed to others being on the side of no, people should not be held accountable for their actions in a life-or-death situation. To start off with, to support my claim stating, should people in life-or-death situations be held accountable, there are three main reasons why I think people should be held accountable. The 1st reason is failure to listen to reason which usually causes many problems in the future to occur. In real life, in a movie, or in a story, there is always someone or something that foretells the reader to let them know that danger could be near. A movie or story is never gonna add danger to the plot unless there is something that shows/tells why the danger is there in the first place. A piece of evidence from the story, “ To Build a Fire” is when the...

...High-fiber diet is actually a return to nature and the plant-based diets used by our ancestors since the beginning of time. In fact, our ancestors consumed large quantities of fiber-containing foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grain products every day. As technology advanced, however, people began to turn away from these unprocessed healthful foods and began eating more highly processed and fat-laden foods. As a result, the incidence of coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cancers has steadily risen. Almost everyone hears about the need for enough fiber in the diet. But few people understand the importance of dietary fiber. High-fiber diets have been endorsed by the American Heart Association, the American Dietetic Association, the National Cancer Institute, the National Research Council, and the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Studies show that few Americans get enough fiber in their diet and over a billion dollars a year is spent on laxatives. Fiber intake in the U.S. and other "modernized" countries averages around 12-15 grams a day. But in order to be healthy you need 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day. That's a big difference. It...

...When the cookie diet first came out there were many protestors to the famous cookie diet. Many critics claimed that Dr. Sasson’s production of the cookie diet will leave weight loss participants sick and under nourished. In fact, many scoffed at the daily requirements of 800 calories, which include the cookies and the dinner. They said that it not only couldn’t be done, but the 800 calories was simply too low and that it lacked the nutritional value that everybody needs. Many said that it was just another fad diet that would fizzle out just as some had in the past. It was just a gimmick they claimed that would lure people in but would be unable to sustain them for long periods of time. Critics also thought that some people would actually...

...Sexual Revolution Evolution Intimacy is not free in the modern world. Political change, social change, systems of oppression, and globalization all contribute to the shape and to the limit of people’s intimate lives. The oppressive regulation of marriage and sexuality by states and cultures can really affect intimacy and incite sexual revolutions. In feminist studies Professor Leila Rupp’s lecture, Tickell and Peck were cited as defining globalization as a notion based on an increasingly borderless market, where market rules and competitive logics predominate. In another lecture, Rupp stated that sexual revolutions are linked to and caused by: globalization, economic forces, technology and culture. Rupp expresses that many changes in behavior and attitude have been related to these factors. Many sexual revolutions according to Rupp are caused by resistance to oppressive governmental and cultural regulation of sexuality and the diverse ways that people, both individually and collectively, resist regulation and bring about change. People are agents and resist individually and collectively the perils of oppression. Two sexual revolutions addressed were that that took place in the United States in the 1910’s and the 1960’s. Gender roles were extremely limiting and constricting especially from the perspective of many females. Females were limited to household jobs and conservative dress in addition to their overall conservative behavior. On top of women’s restrictions behaviorally...
