Lady Valor Film Analysis

When one thinks of an asylum their minds go directly to insane, illness, and crazy; or at least that was what people of the 1950s transitioning into the 1960s. Instead, they contributed to the beat down of the mentally ill; abuse of the people who tried to get help when they thought they were sick. In Ken Kesey’s, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the mistreatment of patients in the asylum wing in a hospital is exhibited showing the cruelty of the workers or the stereotypical thought of someone who belongs in such an institution (when they do not even belong there). The main character Chief Bromden is a patient in the ward who pretends to be deaf in order to hear all information floating around in conversations. He is the narrator of the novel

Nightmares that respond to traumatic experiences are called Post-traumatic Stress Nightmares or PSN. If one shows evidence of family history dealing with psychiatric problems, drug experiences, or a relationship that is going downhill, that person will have nightmares often, therefore, making those problems harder to deal with at times (“Dream Moods: History and Background of

People need to understand that Melody, along with others have feelings too and can get hurt with words. Anyone could learn a valuable lesson from Melody, as I have learned to be more appreciative for a voice and legs that can walk. The human race needs to realize that they should not be wasting their voice on making fun of other people and should not be wasting mobility on physically hurting others. People no matter their state of health are still people, and it should not matter if they have a disability: “a person is so much more than the name of a diagnosis on a chart!” (23).

The cause of Melinda’s dreary mood obviously comes from IT’s abuse. Andy Evans constantly harassing Melinda in the hallways reminds her of the horrid rape and keeps the image in her mind. This is why Melinda cannot wake up from her nightmare and is emotionally unstable. To sum up, Melinda’s dismal mood is greatly portrayed through the metaphors of

First, I cannot imagine how much they have to sacrifice just to eliminate the feeling of ‘trapping in the wrong body’. They may find themselves having a reborn life, but that also indicates that they have to give up all the achievements they have established with the previous assigned gender. Due to the stereotypes towards transgender, sometimes they have to give up their careers, the close relationships such as friends, family and partners when they do not accept the fact of them becoming a transgender. It is cruel that the transgenders have to be accepted by the public, despite that fact they are not causing any harm to society.

Likewise, in the book Ceremony, Tayo encounters varying effects of his traumatic times in the war that affect his identity progression negatively. For example, “He could feel it inside his skull—the tension of little threads being pulled and how it was with tangled things, things tied together, and as he tried to pull them apart and rewind them into their places, they snagged and tangled even more.” (Silko 7). The metaphor of tangled threads is symbolic to Tayo’s battle with overwhelming PTSD. After Tayo endured many traumatic and terrifying situations in the war and survived the Bataan Death March, he suffers through PTSD that affects how he grows as an individual.

The doctor knows that Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking is caused by a disturbance in her mind, which is her feeling the guilt about all the murders and the deaths of the innocent people. Her affected sleep assisted in showing her continuing guilt filled mind, which is a detrimental occurrence that ultimately led to her suicide near the end of the play. Affected sleep in Macbeth causes many psychological problems. In particular, a mind consumed by guilt is most affected by sleeplessness.

For some, despite the patient being bed-ridden, they are still suffering. “Terminally ill people can have their quality of life severely damaged by physical conditions such as incontinence, nausea and vomiting….” (BBC- ethics of euthanasia.., 2014). The family too, becomes distressed from witnessing the patient connected to tubes and being unable to help themselves. Physically, family members get so occupied in catering the needs and worrying about the patient that they forget to care for themselves; this creates a toll on their physical state.

  Despite these beliefs of the physician, patients are left feeling discriminated against and feel unworthy of healthcare.  Physicians go into this career to care for patients and they should go into this career willing to take care of patients of other gender identities, race, and other religious beliefs other than their own.

He tries covering this outburst by saying it's a health problem when his conscience is the real problem. When Macbeth experiences this outbreak, he is afraid of what is happening and goes to visit the witches, who inform Macbeth that he is going to lose his reign. When Macbeth returns, the doctor questions Macbeth about Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking, and how “This disease is beyond my practice! Yet I have/known those which have walked in their sleep who/have died holily in their beds.”

I think Billy 's way of coping with his experience was seen through time traveling and aliens encounter, which you could say has affected him psychologically. For Manchester his flashbacks were nightmares of the war and that is why his novel was the way it was. These two novels displays the war differently which people will remember the war differently. Like I said soldiers remembers their experience differently which affects the ways these novels are

Due to the fact that she is a woman, Burkett is rather sensitive towards how people characterize her gender and makes the reader feel sympathy and she says, “I have fought for many of my 68 years against efforts to put women — our brains, our hearts, our bodies, even our moods — into tidy boxes, to reduce us to hoary stereotypes.” Burkett has spent a large portion of her life putting effort into how others viewed women and the transgender community is putting all of her effort to waste. Also, Burkett says, “The ‘I was born in the wrong body’ rhetoric favored by other trans people doesn’t work any better and is just as offensive, reducing us to our collective breasts and vaginas.” Burkett is conveying her feelings towards the transgenders’ excuses saying that although they claim that they have always been a woman on the inside, they are not entitled to calling themselves as such because they haven’t faced the difficulties that women who have always been a woman

PTSD means Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is a deadly disease emotional and physically. For example, it causes veterans to see flash backs of what they have saw over seas, they can physically hurt themselves and are unable to control the disease. PTSD is known to destroy family 's and break them apart even though the veterans can 't control it. "When trauma reactions are severe and go on for some time without treatment, they can cause major problems in a family"(Carlson).This shows how most family 's get divorced after a veteran has come back from war because of how severe the disease is. No veteran wants to admit that they have a disease, because they want to be seen as a tough individual.

Work, friends, and family can even began to become interfered from post traumatic stress disorder. Louis Zamperini was suffering from PTSD and had reoccurring nightmares of days he was a prisoner of war. “As a result of my prisoner of war experience under your unwarranted and unreasonable punishment, my post-war life became a nightmare” (Hillenbrand 396). Louis said this when he was speaking about how his life was after the war. Louis most likely would had suffered post traumatic stress disorder longer if it were not for his confrontation with God, helping him forgive those who had hurt

In relationships, especially in interracial ones, it's one thing to experiment or to get a quick-fix, but it's quite a different story when dealing with actual marriage. Marriage is a sanctity that should not be messed around with, given its status as being one of the only cultural universal social institutions around. However, humans are born as curious creatures, which helps them evolve by breaking out from the constraints of the media and of society. When racial division is involved, the issue of curiosity is illuminated. In Spike Lee's 1991 movie, Jungle Fever, there are many characters who explain this curiosity phenomenon through their actions, and there's one in particular who is practically the epitome of racial division.
