Mind Reading

wThis might sound strange and impossible, but all, or most of the things we saw on tv 20-25 years ago is now able to realize. As we might have seen in movies about mind reading, and magicians who can assert in our actions and the way we think, this is now possible, however not in that cartoonish way which fictional magicians expose on television. Due to the modern technology, scientists have been able to prove that we can currently do mind reading with highly sophisticated machines. They record the reaction of your brain when you think of a particular aspect or object, by showing you a picture of it. Now that the image of the brain is recorded and learned, when we see that same reaction again we can now recognize the thought a particular person has at the moment in which the image is captured. Technology is advancing in a speed which was never imagined, experts suggest that from now to five years, the act and science of mind reading will be much more complex than how it is now. This is definitely a step forward, and lets all hope that these studies keep advancing at the rate that we expect them to.

Homosexuality Psychology


 It is amazing how the homosexual c culture has risen up in current societies.  Now a days, many of the members in the society are homosexuals. In the video that he have watched, statistics inform that the more older brothers a particular person has, the higher probabilities of him being homosexual. This theory also applies to women; this effect is most likely to occur for the cause of a wrong mix of genes and a strange and not desired chemical reaction before birth. In the present, many people discriminate homosexuals for being different according to what physically attracts them. It might be strange, and annoying at sometimes, but from now on, we as a society should start tolerating homosexuals, since they don’t tend to disturb us or harm us, as well as this effect they have is chemical and really exists, it is not acquired or faked by them. The chemical reaction before birth occurs because the hormones of the mother combine with the baby’s every time she is pregnant, therefore, each time the woman has a new child, that child’s hormones will be even more combined with female hormones, for that same reason, the more older brothers or sisters you have, the most likely you are going to be homosexual. Tests have been made with rats, by making them act as female rats, by putting them in their babyhood around a female environment.  

Brain Damage


As many of you may know, the brain is the most powerful organ that we as humans contain in our bodies. It is definitely helpful to be cautious in relation to our activities everywhere due to the many dangers that we are exposed to. There are three types of brain damage: Brain Contusion, Neuron Destruction, and an Internal Bleeding Injury. A brain contusion is extremely serious, however it is the less grave of all three. Consequently comes the neuron destruction injury which is also grave, and the worst of all which is the internal bleeding injury, the three of them can ruin our lives and change them completely. While watching the video, we learned about a man who got involved in a fight, which practically ended his normal life. He had a strong hit on his head, which clearly affected his brain, this man is now in a wheel chair, lacking of physical coordination, barely thinking (in a slow way), and having great difficulty to speak, thing which he also does in a slow way. Overall I think it is extremely didactic and educational to publish this documentary where we learn to prevent ourselves from all the risks we may go through in life.

The Criminal Mind

To begin, I must mention the interesting aspects I have learned on the criminal minds documentary. First of all, I learned there is no true "evil" spirit, on people, it is simply, severe brain damage. Besides this outstanding fact, I have also acknowledged that a considerable percentage  of the serial assassins, and serious crime authors such as rappers, robbers, and kidnappers, feel guilty in relation to their sins and crimes, however the strong desire to see someone suffering, or to abuse someone physically dominates them. The scientific studies demonstrate that most of the criminals  contain  at least superficial or mild brain damage. Other studies suggest that there are three types of brain injuries, some graver than others respectively.  Brain Contusion, Neuron Destruction, and an Internal Bleeding Injury. Definitely, the three of them are very serious and can change a person’s active life drastically, to an extremely sedentary one, or if not, even kill us. With all of the mentioned information, I have noticed that the brain is more fragile than what we think it is, any conflict with another person which unfortunately leads to a fight, might sadly end someone’s life. I have reflexed about the beautiful and most powerful organ we have, people should be more cautious; we should realize the external world has many risks, and we need to know how to avoid them.

Video Response For Teen Behavior Documentary

 First of all I would like to restate how analytic and helpful this video was. Besides describing how and why teenagers behave in such an indescribable way, we observed several deep analyses, which indicated the brain’s functional system and how it complex its development is. I learned that in the first six years of life the human brain grows up to 95% of its complete size. Although, I had already noticed it from personal experience, the professionals described the struggle that we go through on making the right decisions. This is definitely one aspect that makes the teenage psychology so interesting, however harder to understand. The authors of this fascinating documentary took us from the most general view of teen’s daily life, all the way to the smallest details on their familiar life. Another outstanding fact that I learned was the difficulty and inaccuracy that  teenagers have on detecting the reality of an aspect, and how our inexpert and inexperienced way of thinking can drive us away from the actual truth. This is primarily due to the different brain parts we use in relation to adults, while judging a particular situation or person. To conclude, the world of psychology contains so many aspects and concepts yet to be learned, and it is a privilege to now be able to comprehend the teenager’s so called “misunderstood” behavior.
