Psychology - July 2007

For instance, we all know that if we work hard and pour our blood, sweat and tears for something, we can achieve it (or if we don't achieve it, we'll come closer to achieving it than by doing nothing.) Or we all know that doing drugs is bad for us, but there are still a lot of people who do drugs.

Why don't we act on what we know is right and/or good for us?

There are many video games today that encourage violence (shootings, theft, beatings, killings, etc.) - and many children of all ages play those games.

a. How do you feel these violent video games affect our society?

b. How do they affect young children who play them? Do children realize the difference between the game (where there are no consequences to such behavior) and real life (where those types of behaviors are considered crimes with repercussions?

c. If you were a parent, what would you do about these games?

d. If you were a city official and saw a lot of violent crimes happening with young children, what would you do to encourage limits on young children playing violent video games?

Any emotional sciene in movie or TV is enough for running my tears down and I feel like crying. I feel awkward to myself like I am losing the strength and growing weaker.

Went for Interview?
and the president of this caregiving company told me the four pervious caregivers were all bad and they were "at each others throats." Then he tells me that the client is abusive and mean. He tells me this just as we are going to proceed on the job. He also says to the client over the phone: "Do you live over a toxic waste dump that makes people feel this way?"

This president claims he has a P.H. d. in Psychology?
My q. is I never saw the certification on the wall and he sure didn't act like a professional man. He also asked me if I had a fax and a computer so when I am caregiving for this

I have a friend who always acts superior.
She's always showcasing her fortune and talking about her beautiful *costly* house, cars and meals.
When I found a new rent, she told me: "oh how did you afford it at such a price"? She always gives me tips on how to budget, without me asking for them. When I told her about my trip to Bulgaria, she told me oh "why did you choose Bulgaria? Cause it's cheap?" All she cares about is cost and money.
I hate her "YOU" and "ME" attitude.
Isn't she acting a little bitchy?

The more I study human behavior the more convinced I am that man is more controlled by instinct and the unconsious mind. Quite a bit more than man realizes. Think about it and give me some feedback.

I have many regrets in my life and don't know how to deal with them.

I feel bad that I could not help my ex-husband and daughter move out of the house that they were living in. My ex-husband wants me to get back together with him so that we can live as a family again. He is moving and wanted me to help and be with him during the move.

I feel bad that I could not be there for my daughter during her growing up years. She is 15 now and I have not been a strong presence in her life since she was 10. I still communicate with her, but do not take care of her on a daily basis.

I feel bad when I hear my ex-husband's statement that I am 100% responsible for his stress in life.

I have also let my ex-husband and child down by saying that I would come back and then not going back to be with them.

I really don't know how I can ever forgive or live with myself as my ex says. My actions have been wrong toward them and I have hurt them unintentionally though.

Ever since I can remember I’ve been a jealous person, what’s wrong with me? It's mainly of other people's achievements, don't get me wrong I am happy for them and don't show I’m jealous but underneath I am. It really gets on my nerves if people go on and on about their achievements, even though I know I’m worse because I go on about stuff when I’m excited. I'm not a bad person but I’d really like to change this part of my personality, I think it could be linked to the fact I can be overly sensitive and take things very seriously sometimes, I put on a front of laughing along but underneath I’m fuming, I get angry easily although, hide it from people I’m not close too and upset easily as well, I worry about what people think of me.

I know that psychologists are obligated to report to parents if the patient is harming themselves.
But, what if the patient DID cut themselves without the intention of suicide. But doesn't anymore. Is the psychologist still obligated to report what happened to parents?
