Altered Consciousness And Observation

203 Words1 Page

I was very interested going into this week. After reading the chapter, I was excited about going into class to discuss what I had read. Altered consciousness was interesting and scary at the same time. Especially the example, when you drive to work and do not remember driving there. I have done that and it is scary. Adaptive theory was interesting. I have never sat down and thought about the sleep patterns of animals. Some animals sleep during the day to find their prey at night. I loved the suggestions for sleep. I am going to try them out. One of the things that stands out most this week was psychological, physical dependence and withdrawal. I worked in drug rehab for six years. It was such a tough time. You would see success stories

    This book made me think about things I never really thought about before. Things like listening and paying close attention to the sick because interpreting what they’re doing can make such a huge impact or difference. I personally never had to go through the hard times of losing a loved one, so reading this book was very informative and pretty fascinating. Both Callahan and Kelley did a great job of organizing this book and making it very easy to understand. Each and every section had stories that explained the chapter title and the meaning of it.

    It is a terrifying yet wondrous experience to see the aftermath of what our words and actions can bring one person to do. This book does so much with what it is trying to do and say and it completely nails it. I can’t think of a single thing I would ever want to change. Violent Ends left me feeling haunted, feeling a sudden fear of “what if?”. I can’t think of a better book to read if you are looking for something that is going to make you think.

    I personally enjoyed every chapter that we have learned to date. If I had to pick my favorites, I would choose chapter seven and thirteen. I found these the most interesting because I enjoy learning about the brain itself, how memory works, and the disorders that occur. I find that the brain is the most unique aspect of the human body. Each brain holds millions of memories and ideas that are special to each person, and I find that beautiful.

    I chose the second chapter, “One God, One Bishop”: The Politics of Monotheism first. I dived into this chapter and it made me think and consider. It made me back up and rethink. It also helped answer questions about my own faith that I have had. Reading Pagels argument on the duality of God helped put it in a box for me.

  • Suburban Club Meeting Reflection

    A good deal of time was spent on sharing and validating. As to what I would have liked to say to the those who shared at this meeting, I would have wanted to tell them how much I admire their bravery in facing the worst of themselves and being able to come out on the other side stronger and more self-aware. I do not think I would have the courage to face the worst of myself. I think the most notable knowledge pertaining to addiction I gain from this meeting was the impact that small inconveniences or slights can have in relation to triggering cravings. I always imaged trigger being events like death of a friend or a loss of a job, but from what the individual in this session stated, the more difficult triggers can be someone being rude or a misunderstand because they catch people off guard and unprepared.

Some people there have been sober for over 25 years and some people had less than a week

  • Reflection On Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings

    Attending each 12-step meeting was interesting, yet frightening too. Surprised at how different the population was among each meeting. In the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings there were more of an older generation, where in the Narcotics Anonymous there were more of a younger generations. I noticed in the Narcotics Anonymous meeting there were a lot of people who were wearing ankle monitors from the justice center, but out of the three Alcoholics Anonymous (I know we only had to attend two AA meetings-long story on how/why I ended up attending three) meetings I attended there were only two people I recall seeing with ankle monitors compared to four or five to the one Narcotics Anonymous meeting.

    After reading the Invisible Man we had to write an essay, and what was great about this is that we had to brainstorm our own thesis (something that I have never done before, usually the teacher provides the student with the thesis) but everyone had a different view on the book. This was a great way of challenging the class as seniors. With writing our own thesis we had to argue and support one’s thinking so it would make sense to the

    One guy David really stood out to me, on Tuesday he celebrated 12 years sober, when he went and got his medal and stated that he was 12 years sober the room immediately congratulated him and told him to keep up the good work. It made me feel like the people there treat each other like family not strangers, and help each other overcome obstacles. Also at the very end of the meeting, while walking out I noticed people talking to the new people that were either new to Alcoholics Anonymous or new to the group at St. Joe’s. They were very welcoming to them and gave them hugs and congratulated the new members for coming. It just made me feel like this group actually helps the members change.

  • Pursuit Of Conscious Awareness: Article Analysis

    137 Words  | 1 Pages

    According to the article, “The Unconscious Will: How the Pursuit of Goals Operate Outside of Conscious Awareness” by Custers and Aarts, there are two ways that the unconscious mind may operate in the process of decision making. The first way in which the unconscious mind operates is when “people are persuaded to consciously set a goal to engage in behavior, their unconscious will to act starts out as unconscious” (Custers & Aarts). In a scientific experiment conducted by Benjamin Libet, subjects were instructed to freely move their index finger. During this time, a brain scan was used to measure preparation of the brain and when the person became conscious of the decision to act. The study found that the preparation of the action to move the
