Ever wondered why we act the way we do and how we become who we are? Well it all dates back to when we were just infants. As we grow older we constantly learn from what we see and feel. As babies, we connect with our caregivers in a way we sense what they sense that can shape us as we develop.
Let’s use the Kaufman family for example (question two).
Mrs. Kaufman spends a lot of time stroking, cuddling, and rocking her infant son, Kyle, and seems to be highly aware of the baby’s actions and needs. Mr. Kaufman worries that his wife’s interactions with the baby can affect him in the long run. Mr. Kaufman’s first concern is that Kyle will cry easily when frustrated. It is a very good thing that Mrs. Kaufman is aware of Kyle’s’ needs.
If his needs are met, there is less for him to be frustrated and cry about. If the baby’s needs are met sometimes, then maybe Kyle will cry easily at times. The biggest thing to prevent this from happening is making sure someone is there for him. The main worry is if Kyle cries and no one comes then it could cause him to cry and cry until he gets what he needs.
The next concern is a fear that the baby will cling to Mrs. Kaufman. Attachment is not necessarily always a bad thing when it comes to a child and their caregiver. If Mrs. Kaufman was inconsistent with Kyle, he can read off of that and can become attached to when his mother is giving him attention that he’s needed. If it was the opposite, then it is a good attachment between the son and mother because he’ll feel cared for. Spoiling is a good thing for a child and as children grow we may start to learn more about getting what we want in life.
The Essay on Baby Thing Abortion World
I am against because, I think abortion is the wrong thing to do. It is considered murder in my opinion and this should result in some kind of penalty or something should happen. Abortion should " ve never been introduced in this world. I think that it is another way of killing someone. At that stage of killing a newborn child, is not giving the baby a chance to live their life and to live in this ...
Another concern Mr. Kaufman has is that Kyle will become unfriendly toward other. As a child, or even just being human, stranger anxiety is a normal thing. Kyle is use to his mother and father and when he sees a new face he will obviously have some type of reaction. Let’s say Mrs. Kaufman was holding Kyle and someone else tried to hold him. Kyle can sense whether or not his mother is reassuring him that it is okay. Even if he still is not comfortable, he will soon calm down and come to trust his mother. Stranger anxiety is something that can come and will eventually pass.
Lastly, Mr. Kaufman thinks his baby can become withdrawn and uninterested in his surroundings. Baby Kyle can become withdrawn if it becomes an insecure attachment. With insecure attachment he can either grow to become cautious and wary of being rejected or he will be scared to get close to others and remain distant. Since Mrs. Kaufman is very attentive to Kyle, he should be able to feel secure and have less anxiety. Therefore, Mr. Kaufman should be proud of his partnership with his wife and continue loving his son.
On another topic, let’s move on to question four. It states that a classmate believes that alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine all have similar effects on behavior and there all three drugs ought to be legalized. Well, what this classmate must not know is that there are different categories of drugs. Let’s look into these three topics and see what its’ strengths and weaknesses are.
Let’s start with alcohol. Alcohol fits in the category of a depressant. Depressants are drugs, such as alcohol, that reduces neural activity and slow body functions. Many people confuse alcohol as a stimulant because it can cause people to act more hyper but low amounts of alcohol relaxes the drinker by slowing the nervous system activity. Larger amounts of alcohol causes slurred speech and skills such as balancing can be lost while intoxicated.
The Essay on Marijuana Effects
Filip Kucera 5/7/01 Marijuana Smoking a joint, Lighting a bowl, cuttin a blunt. These are all terms that are reffered to when someone is smoking Marijuana. Marijuana is becoming more mainstream every year. There are even some attempts to legalize it. But there still remains the fact that it has effects on different parts of the body when it is being smoked. There are three most known effects one ...
Alcohol can also make people lose memory and disrupt the memory formation. Research states that heavy drinking can have long term effects to the brain. If it is persistent and continues for long period of time it can also shrink the brain. Have you ever seen someone who was drinking seem to be zoned out? That’s because alcohol effects self-awareness and basically the drinker’s focus is elsewhere.
Next, let’s look into Marijuana. Marijuana is in the Hallucinogen category. A hallucinogen is a mind-altering (psychedelic) that twists perceptions and evokes sensory images in the absence of sensory input. Marijuana, which contains THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), is similar to alcohol because it slows down the motor skills, but it also can make the user sensitive to colors, sounds, tastes, and smells. Marijuana enhances sensation, relieves pain, makes the user unaware of time, and also relaxes the body. Unlike alcohol, marijuana can remain in the body for about a week. If continued, the user has a high risk of psychological disorders and cause lung damage.
Last but not least, cocaine. Cocaine has an effect opposite than alcohol, that’s the stimulant category. Stimulant is a drug that excites the neural activity and speeds up the body functions. This drug quickly rushes to the blood that causes euphoria to go to the brain depleting its supply of neurotransmitters. Within an hour, the user will crash and depression follows. Many become highly addicted to this drug because they like the high rush feeling, many start to chase this type of high. Other effects of this drug are cardiovascular stress and miserable crash.
Well I hope I have made it clear about the three different categories of drugs and to the classmate who thought they have similar effects on behavior, you now can understand why there was a smart decision to make drugs illegal in our country.
