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.

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.
