The History and Development of the Psychiatric System since the 19th Century The psychiatric system has evolved and changed and enhanced their culture and language since the 19th Century. Many people have come up to fight for social justice and survivor citizenship and defending human rights and fighting against sanism through the building of critical communities. One of the changes in psychiatric treatment is the treatment of the psychiatric poor according to the principles of ethical treatment. Early 19th Century, the hopes of a successful psychiatric treatment lead to the burgeoning of mental hospitals in different countries, for example, Britain and North America. By the mid 19th Century, psychiatrists believed that some mental illnesses, for example, schizophrenia came as a result of unconscious conflicts that result from early childhood. Another change is the fair treatment of the psychiatric poor, unlike in the medieval period, whereby the psychiatrists were being mistreated without having done any wrong. “Mrs. Mills slammed the door in my face. She is vexed at any expression of sympathy” (p 44). The “mad people” were being treated like…
Technology in World Civilization Question 1 For decades humans have walked upon the earth. There have been various technological inventions and innovations dating back into the Stone Age, which has significantly impacted the global civilization. One of such most significant invention was that of the wheel. The oldest wheel was invented around 3500 BC around the period, which was referred to as the Bronze Age in Mesopotamia area. At his time, people were already planting crops, and wheels were used in drawing of water from wells as well as in the development of carts, which were used in the transportation of crops and other luggage across different places (Tomecek, p. 21). Today, the world’s development and most of the processes revolve around this invention. The civilization of the world which has been fostered around transportation is greatly attributed to this invention. The invention of the wheel from the steel wheels to the latest rubber wheel used today has dramatically impacted the spread of civilization across the world. Through the invention of the wheels, the element of transportation has been put…
The psychodynamics of personality pathology Imagine that you are a teacher. Define the concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and use them to describe how you would encourage students to learn lecture and text material. Intrinsic motivation refers to the personal interest in the pursuance of a particular topic, “learning for masteries’ sake.” Such persons find a specific subject enjoyable, and they learn it because of their natural desire to achieve a mastery of it. On the other hand, extrinsic motivations refer to the desire to pursue a subject for reasons not personal to the individual, such as approval from instructors and parents, grades, and rewards (Noels et al., 25). These persons learn particular materials not out of their desire but because it will lead to good grades, well-paying jobs in such a field, or praise from parents– all these are external rewards. Thus, to encourage students to learn lecture and text material, I would establish a student-centered classroom. Students who take part in their learning will be more intrinsically motivated. Learning should be an active activity where students have…
The impact of Islam permeation throughout the world Various ethnic and racial groups such as Arabs, Persians, Turks, Africans, Indians, Chinese, and Malays are part of the spread of Islamic civilization. The spread of Islam began in outside Turkey, where classical civilization, afflicting nations such as India and Africa, was rife (Haghnavaz 212). The spread of Islam starts with the death of Abubakar, who was proceeded by Caliph Umar, who built the East and West Muslim empires in Persia, Syria, and Egypt (Michalopoulos et al,. 2013). This was followed by a 12-year expansion by Uman, who copied the Koran to the world. Following this, a global civilization of Islam was manifested through science and learning. In the end, Islam spread to North Africa, Spain, France, and Asia. Spearheaded by Abbasids and Umayyads, the Baghdad capital was established later, birthing the ottoman empire in 1454, where Islam spread to Eastern Europe (Haghnavaz 214). Following this a Persian dynasty was created in 1502. In the USA, North America encountered Islam first through slaves working in planataions in the 19th century. In the…
Vikings Invasion on Europe During the Viking Age, which lasted till 1066 CE from 800 CE, the Vikings played an essential role in Northern Europe. Firstly, in military armament, before a truce came to be between the Vikings and Europe, Vikings had the most potent and most lethal of arsenal compared to the Europeans. These Vikings’ boat and ships were durable and well architectured; they moved 200 kilometers per day and 18.5 kilometers per hour, which was an extraordinary thing and also built ships that were able to maneuver the river thus their lethal and fierce nature. This led to the advancement of European marine arsenal through weapon forging and embellishment to fight back and much up the arsenal of the enemy both on land and in the water front (Lamoureux). Secondly, the Vikings impacted Europe’s religion, in that they massacred Christians; Vikings attacked Saint Cuthbert killing the monks and stealing the valuables of the monastery. These persecutions later toned down, and correlation and coexistence became possible, moreover the conversion of Guthrum and a few other Vikings into Christianity. This…
The spread of Islam The spread of Islam around the world was fostered by military conquests that led to the establishment of Empires. The spread of Islam can be attributed to historical trade links that, through international routes of Asia and Europe, and Muslim merchants who carried Islam messages wherever they went, continue the civilization of Islam beyond the confines of the Arab world in the Middle East. Herein is a generalized description of the spread of Islam across the globe. For a religion bordering on belief in Allah, the prophets, holy books, rituals, and Mecca pilgrimage, it becomes even more apparent that the spread, Islam brought forth the learning and education of science and Mathematics during its spread. Various ethnic and racial groups such as Arabs, Persians, Turks, Africans, Indians, Chinese, and Malays are part of the spread of Islamic civilization. The spread of Islam began in outside Turkey, where classical civilization, afflicting nations such as India and Africa, was rife (Haghnavaz 212). The spread of Islam starts with the death of Abubakar, who was proceeded by Caliph Umar,…
how the US got into the 1812 war upon the realization that they would be neutral In 1812, the United States stood against Great Britain, the greatest naval power on earth in a war that would have a severe impact on the future of the young country. The reasons for this were included the attempts made by Britain in restricting and suspending neutral trade after the government changed. The trade was a part of the Royal Navy’s plan to expand its territories beyond the American region. This paper will describe how the US got into the 1812 war upon the realization that they would be neutral. The fall of 1811 saw Indiana’s governor William Henry Harrison lead US troops through a victorious war at the Battle of Tippecanoe. This convinced a large number of Indians within the Northwest Territory that they required British support to prevent American settlers from making them move out of their lands. In the meantime, by the end of 1811, the War Hawks that were in congress pressured President Madison, and on June 18, 1812, a…
Hegel and the Idea of Freedom Account for Freedom Hegel accountsfor freedom as a fundamental idea and center of human history. He argues that the mind is free and requires actualization by the endeavor of the world mind in history(Franco 2002). Hegel conceptualizes freedom in various structures;Themoral concept; this is the thought that freedom is being able to give consent without being compelled into making a choice. This concept offers autonomy to liberty, where one only agrees to anything if they are willing and have their reasons for the decision with no external coercion whatsoever. The concept of spirituality; Hegel states that spirituality results in freedom, or conversely, being spiritual is life so far as it has autonomy for principle. He accounts for this concept as a scene that brings absolute freedom.It is a mode of self-consciousness which explains that essential being and concrete actuality consist of the knowledge consciousness has of itself. Therefore, it has the absolute freedom to learn and carry out other activities. Concept of civil society,Hegel believes thatpeople of particular country or community only enjoy freedom…
Rotary History The first service club in the world was formed on 23rd February 1905. It was founded when Paul Harris, Hiram Shorey, Silvester Schiele, and Gustavus Loehr met is an office in Chicago. The four men intended to rekindle the friendliness spirit they always knew from their origin towns. When the club was formed its word spread, and many more people were invited to join. The reason as to why they named the club Rotary was to describe the practice of rotational meetings at the various business places of the members (Nicholl 449). The club, however, became large such that it was essential to adopt a common practice of having a regular place of meeting. Despite the first club being formed for fellowship, it evolved quickly using the resources and talents of the members in service for the community. The Chicago Rotary club had 30 members by the end of the year 1905. After three years another club was formed in San Francisco. In five years, many clubs formed in the U.S, from New York to San Francisco. The…
Drawing on Heart of Darkness text and Battle of Algiers video, critically assess how both sources help you understand that there is little actual difference between these binaries – “civilized people.” Marlow’s mission is to find Kurtz, arrest him, and bring him back to civilization for prosecution. However, information about the enigmatic character accumulates in such a way that Marlow ends up fascinated and obsessed with him, long before this meeting takes place. Officials, sailors, and locals without distinction, are unanimous in extolling Kurtz’s personality. His communication and leadership skills are just some of the qualities that stand out in this man who, everyone seems to believe, has lost his mind and isolated himself in the forest next to an entourage of savages. The narrative continues in a dreamlike, feverish atmosphere, immersing the reader in what could be classified as an endless nightmare and which Conrad’s masterful descriptions contribute to amplify. It is arguable that due to the level of development the western world has attained, it is expected that a high level of civilization is maintained. The so-called…
