My definition of common sense is to be able to draw from past and present knowledge while still being able to evaluate the circumstances for what could create the best outcome. I do believe common sense is pretty natural in all humans, no matter where or how they have grown up. I also believe that given each person's natural giftings there are some matters that make ones common sense more valuable than others. This is why being open to other ideas is important because if each person is so stuck in the idea that they always know best, and of course no one ALWAYS knows best, then sometimes common sense may be overridden by pride. This is why I don’t believe that that my common sense is so difficult to overrule. While I may be stubborn at times, …show more content…
The scientific evidence would have to do with something about how the brain is wired and that when someone is trying to ignore the truth they actually have no idea like we would like to believe we do. The evidence would have to be on a biological evidence and that would change the way I think about my experience. If a study came out and said that all it was a result based off of observation I don't think I would fully buy in at all. In reality though, I know a lot of the studies and reasons for what happened to me and my family while living with and denying, and then realizing my father's addiction because this is part of what my parents have taught us as our family has healed. My parents did an excellent job at making sure to at least treat me, because I was old enough, like an adult and educated me on how this has affected me and all of the other things that come with growing up with a parent as an addict. So for the most part I don’t think I’d really believe anyone saying the opposite from what I have learned because there is so much supporting my belief
After reading Scott Russell Sanders', "Under the Influence", it got me thinking, if these were examples from his past life growing up with an alcoholic as a father and how it effects his life now, what are the effects does it have on other adults who grew up with an addictive parent? After reading one article I found that most children who grew up in alcoholic homes reported significantly less utilization of interpersonal resources as a child, also had reported more emotional and psychological problems in adulthood and had significantly more family disruptions characterized by higher divorce rate, premature prenatal and sibling death. Some of the children had experianced more physical and sexual abuse and more frequently become alcoholics or
Radley gives fantastic facts because not only does he include statistics, but he also quotes from a reliable source, the drug task
Many times drug and alcohol abusers will blame their problems and addictions on friends and close family members. They normally say that “the reason I do drugs, and or alcohol is because of you”. They try to deflect the blame from themselves because they do not believe that they have a problem. Even though in all reality they have a big problem. If anything is mentioned about the abuser getting help they will deflect it by saying that they are fine, and they can stop using these products on their own when they want.
All addicts are commonly perceived as in denial because they do not want to acknowledge the fact that they are
Both internal and external conflict can take an emotional toll on a patient who is dealing with the psychological and physiological effects of addiction. Also, these patients lose their able to function normally, and some healthcare personnel perceive their behaviors as deliberately preformed causing an excessive amount of stigma. Addiction leaves patients having to manage the pain and suffering of not being in control of their own bodies without much guidance of healthcare personnel. However, patients would not have to persevere through addition consequences of addiction if professionals – especially pharmacists – had enhanced education of addiction which would possibly alleviate
The three different research methods are naturalistic observations, surveys, and case studies. A naturalistic observation is when someone is observing people or animals in a natural environment or set. A naturalistic observation would be good to use when you observing people in a a cafeteria. For example under appropriate conditions, you can observe the amount of people who naturally order healthy food verses unhealthy food. Naturalistic observation are good only if you take the time to observe people in their natural environments.
These people choose to reject it because they lacked the ability to live up to society’s standards. This can be seen when reviewing Kohl and Wall’s article Substance Use in Maltreated Youth: Findings from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being. This article argues that children who have conduct problems at school are more likely to use alcohol, which at that age is the stepping stone for alcoholism later in life. “Conduct problems and low caregiver relatedness were more prevalent for youth reporting higher levels of substance use. High levels of conduct problems increased the odds of substance use, whereas high caregiver monitoring decreased the odds of substance use.”
People hear the side of the addict themselves so much more often, that the parents’ point of view is more shocking and emotional. Thus, they are able to understand better because they can relate to his normal family, that is going through an abnormal
But, if persevere by doing it with cooperation and kindness most people will listen to you because you are explaining why you should not fight about this. In conclusion you should always persevere through hard times. People will always disagree with you, but you have to come upon a solution by acts of
This was one of the messages that I received from cleverbot, this shows how he has stored a response from a previous user, this is a strategy the robot uses to disguise itself, the capital ‘H’ shows that the the user has made a typo, using such responses instead of giving perfectly written answers, it blends in as a human. The second response shows how instead of being programmed to recognise the numerals and giving a correct answer, giving a random answer from the user can help it blend in more, also humans are likely to make mistakes such as this example, so as it is not programmed to give perfect answers, it fits in as a human. Below we see two different answers to the same question, this may be a breaking point the technique which Cleverbot uses, as its programmed to give past answers, but is not programmed to identify when a new user is in place, and so does not have a memory to keep the responses said to one user separate from another user, whereas us humans have the intelligence to distinguish our replies to different people. on the side, the conversation shows how non - sensical this technique used by Cleverbot can sometimes be non - sensical, as it is programmed to remember to all the inputs by the user but can not keep track of which reply was given to which user.
I agree with Clifford and his statement which expresses the fact that you need proof to believe in your beliefs. In life there are thousands of things to believe in. For example, the statement "I won’t die tomorrow". Just because I said it, doesn’t make it true. I would need concrete evidence to prove it.
Common sense is basically can be understood as follow. That is, when an individual is able to judge and able to understand certain matters that is already expected by majority of people in the society; without the need of any specific nor detailed explanation. As Miller (2017) have stated, there are mainly 2 philosophical term of common sense which have been derived from a philosophical debate. The first philosophical term is proposed by Aristotle.
Drug Addiction : Treatment or Punishment? When a person takes a drug the chemicals affect the brain by interfering with how the neurons send messages. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the structure of Marijuana and Heroin mimic a natural neurotransmitter which tricks the receptors into allowing the drug to activate neurons inside the brain which interferes with messages and leads to abnormalities of behavior. With other drugs such as cocaine there is an abnormally large amount of neurotransmitters released which disrupts communication channels.
Drug abuse is caused by psychological, genetic as well as environmental factors and can have significant damaging effects on health. Psychological factors are associated with the development of drug abuse. Drug abuse often occurs
