...Marketers Changing Individuals Desires Consumer Behavior I watch television just as much as the average person, so not all the time but enough to see millions of ads. With all of these ads some were ignored but others you show interest in. Possibly your favorite actor, sports player, is supporting the product and this creates a desire to be like them. Marketers main priority is to reach the consumer in a positive and unique way, the advertising world today needs unique or different to draw the attention of their target market. When marketers think of a way they want to advertise a product they first get the attention of the consumer, this involves ads with things the consumers like or are familiar with. Once an ad has grasp the attention of the consumer they become interested in the product, interest in the product leads to desire to purchase and this is why marketers have the ability to control what we are interested in and desire. As a college student with an apartment off campus, I have to supply my own source of food instead of having a cafeteria. One can image most of the time the food is scarce around the house due to the low income. This brings others into the argument as well because I am not the only one who has this situation with food. Say one is sitting on the couch, watching television and hasn't ate all day. They see a McDonald's commercial or another quick food restaurant that is close, this would persuade most people to get up and go get something...

...not understand the full consequences of suffering from Anorexia Nervosa. What are two of the more serious medical consequences Patty experienced as a result of her Anorexia Nervosa? (1pt) As a result of her Anorexia Nervosa, Patty stopped menstruating for several months, known as amenorrhea. Additionally, Patty developed signs of cardiac problems, such as low pulse rate and loss of bone density. 2. What seemed to be a primary “trigger” for Patty’s Anorexia Nervosa? (1pt) A primary trigger for Patty’s eating disorder was distress that stemmed from her social life. She parted ways with a lifelong friend and found out her ex-boyfriend was sexually unfaithful to her. 3. What aspect of the biopsychosocial model (physical, cognitive, psychological/emotional, or sociocultural) does the trigger you identified in question 2 fit into, AND, explain why it might bring on the desire to severely restrict eating? (2pt) This trigger fits into the psychological/emotional aspect. The loss of a friend and a relationship can easily cause emotional stress leading to an eating disorder. This may bring on the desire to severely restrict eating because it reduces the feelings of stress and low-self esteem while increasing the feelings of self-control and accomplishment. 4. Certain anxiety disorders, such as OCD, commonly co-occur with Anorexia Nervosa. Identify one example of how Patty’s symptoms mimic the pattern of an anxiety disorder and describe how it is...

...In this society, it is usually assumed that one is either single or in some form of monogamous relationship. At best, it is sometimes considered acceptable to play the field if one is not in a committed relationship. If one is in a committed relationship, it is with one person only, and any sexual and/or romantic involvement outside the relationship is cheating. Both of these situations, playing the field and cheating are still often subject to the classic double standard of being more acceptable for men and women. Long before written history, primitive clans and tribes were living within small, highly inter-dependent social structures. Many of these groups had some type of ceremony marking the forming of a union or marriage between two opposite sex partners. It appears that since we began living in structured social groups, humans have adhered to the belief that formal unions of two people work best for maintaining a healthy, functioning society. Within different societies, independent unions of two people were considered the best way to secure food and shelter, defend against outside aggressors, and raise offspring. As societies evolved, the marriage bond took on increased significance within each culture. One of the most universal aspects of the marriage union to be perpetuated cross-culturally was monogamy. Yet despite this proclivity towards marriage, and insistence that the marriage partners remain monogamous, human beings have been engaging in non-monogamous activities...

...Orlando Davies-Vannelli Tennessee Williams maintained that he couldn't write any story unless, "there is at least one character in it for whom I have a physical dewire." In the light of this comment, discuss the role of desire in the play. There are many moments in the play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' where Blanche DuBois and desire are inextricably linked. Indeed, she arrives in Elysian Fields after taking a streetcar named desire. One critic has said that the journey which Blanche takes to get to her sisters apartment on a streetcar named Desire and and then changing to a streetcar named Cemetries reflects her overall journey through life. For example, in her youth she rode on her desires and during as well as after the play takes place, she changes to a morbid route, described as "Cemetries". In some sense, her quest for desire was as short lived as her tram ride. Another moment where the idea of desire is evident is when Stanley tells Stella that "I (he) am the king around here, so don't forget it." which reflecs his desire to have power and control over everyone in his 'domain'. This is one moment in the play where Stanley's true controlling ideas are shown to the audience. Through Stanley, Williams presents us with the idea that he is one who has achieved his desrie of being unnapposed in his society. An example of this is at the end of the play where Stanley isn't held accountable for a crime he has committed (the rape of Blanche) and his life goes back to how it was...

...As a response to and a rejection of middle class culture, punk functioned to create a sphere in which the more revolting or disgusting something was, the better. Influenced by the garage band revival of the late 1960s, punk adapted the idea that the music being produced did not have to be good or meaningful; rather, it functioned to directly oppose any form of insightful meaning. It was played and produced for the sole purpose of rejecting all things mainstream prior to it becoming mainstream. The genre of punk qualifies as La Jouissance because it draws the listener towards a connection to the larger “whole,” draws pleasure from pain, and helps one lose a sense of their ego. Punk began in the 1970s as a working-class response to the poor...

Comparing Anorexia to Bulimia A. Bulimia Nervosa is a disorder where there is high concern over body image and an obsessive desire to lose weight, but in this case instead of refusing food, there is overeating which is followed by depression, vomiting, and fasting.

As you can see: anorexia is refusing to eat as to where bulimia is overconsumption followed by regurgitation. 1.

...The connections between love and loss are significant, as the presence of one strengthens the impact of the other. Love can bring people unimaginable bliss at it’s high points, though with harder times, love can cause extreme heartache and distress. The fear or recognition of loss hurts people, as they attempt to strive for an unblemished state of bliss. The unwelcome devastation of loss continually hurts and helps, as it causes misery (in loss) and elation (in love). Loss strengthens love because it is supported by a backbone of dull fear. The loss of love is something that scares people into wanting to make the best of any happiness they have. In “Ode On A Grecian Urn” by John Keats, the effects of both love and loss are displayed. The poem...

...losing his “native land,” his people have “LOST EVERYTHING”: their “languages,” “songs and dances,” “each other.” That he has suffered the greatest grief, and lost what Medea has – and that his loss has, in fact, even surpassed hers – serves to explain why he seems to have developed a thirst for destruction: it is a coping mechanism, as much as it is a desire for retribution. That he has lost intangible things like language and song is what is most excruciating; these are, after all, things – parts of his cultural identity and history – that he can never get back. His repeated usage of the personal pronoun “We” should also be noted; it reiterates that his loss is not “just” an individual loss, either, but the collective loss of a people. Junior almost seems to insinuate, then, that violence is inevitably engendered by the loss of personhood and by the tragedy of having to live in an environment suffused with ancient loss. Though Collins’ The Hunger Games is all but riddled with lurid descriptions of great carnage and great savagery, one could still make the case that it is the novel’s quietest scenes, such as the following scene Katniss shares with Rue that are, in their inadvertent insouciance, its most disconcerting and disturbing: Like Junior, Katniss exhibits a desire – or if not a desire, then an instinct – to kill things in the name of preservation or, to be more specific, in the name of self-preservation. She asserts, for example, that she would have happily killed the skunk...

...INTRODUCTION Psychosocial is a result of psychology and sociology Psychosocial development is how a person’s mind, emotions, and maturity level develop throughout the course of their lifetime. Different people will develop psychosocially at different speeds depending on the biological processes and environmental interactions. People living with HIVAIDS have specific psycho social issues they deal with. It is important to understand that the mind and the emotions have impact on their immune system and quality of life. Psychosocial support is an intervention that enhances the wellbeing of a person affected by life threatening events. Being healthy in this context is much more than the mere absence of disease or infirmity. A healthy person is the one who; * is socially integrated and accepted, has friends and a social network, and has a recognised and acceptable social status in the community * is socially competent; which means that he/she is able to cooperate with others and can also deal with pain, tension and conflicts * Can express feelings, has good self esteem and is confident, can manage stress and is able to make decisions. HIV disease is among the most devastating of illnesses, having multiple and profound effects upon all aspects of the bio-psychosocial and spiritual being. HIV as an illness affects the person first and foremost at the biological level in the form of an aggressive virus that compromises immunity. Every illness experience represents a unique...

...Have you ever desired for something amazing but received the complete opposite? In the two stories, “The Fight,” by Lucy Calkins and the “The Golden Touch”, there is a similar theme which is “Be careful with what you desire for”. In these two stories, both of the main characters desired something more than what they could have. The theme “Be careful what you desire for,” is a qualified theme for the story, “The Fight”. One of the example was when the narrator was at one of his basketball games, all of the foolishness started after the narrator and his foe, Mike, elbowed each other in the chest. Then when narrator was walking down the sidewalk with his companion, he said that he could take down Mike anytime and anywhere, even though his rival was a lot heavier and three inches taller....

When the therapist calls the couple to come in, Walt tells the therapist that is beginning to feel depressed because of the lack of intimacy the couple has.

...driving force behind the choices and subsequent actions of individuals, it seems only obvious that Shakespeare who is renowned for his exploration of universal themes chooses to explore the determents of these desires for the individuals and their relationships in his play Othello. The strive to acquire or retain authority and control is explored through the dynamics between the main male characters- Othello and Iago. Shakespeare initially employs binary characterization of these two, Iago depicted as power- hungry and the personification of evil with a strong hatred towards Othello. This characterisation is established early in the play when Iago states to Roderigo...
