Andrew Bulimia

 

Today in class we watched a documentary about Andrew, a young man suffering from bulimia. In the documentary we watched Andrew's daily life and the struggles that he has been fighting. In class we talked about how eating disorders revolve around control. Use specific examples to show how Andrew tries to control his life and the situations revolving around his eating disorder. Using the information that you learned today in class about drive reduction theory explain how Andrew reduces the drive of feeling overweight and restores his body back to homeostasis in his mind. Use specific examples in your answer and make sure you explain drive reduction theory.

Please answer all the questions to receive full credit.

Students need to analyse the past intervention episodes we have watched identifying the use of Freudian defense mechanisms. Students need to draw specific examples from the episodes.

Traumatic Brain Injury

I need you to find an article that discusses head injuries (ie concussions) in sports. It also needs to cover some of the new rules put in place for player safety. Your best bet will be to research a collision sport (Football, Hockey, Rugby, etc). You can post more than one article. You need to link your article to your post. (Copy/Paste the url into the post so I can read it.) Summarize your article and tell me if you believe enough is being done to protect athletes from these types of injuries.

Remember use google drive to submit your post. Share with adamhamilton@hgchristian.org
Please include your name at the top of the google doc and your period.

Theory of Knowledge

What theory of knowledge do you agree with? Do you think Socrates theory that all  knowledge is innate and that through reasoning we can access knowledge or John Locke's theory that the mind is a blank slate and we access knowledge through experience? Please tell me why you feel this way and use examples to support your reasoning. One of your reasons has to be supported with scripture.
