October 5, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Social Sciences

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

1.  Clients with OCD are at risk for social isolation, which may add to their OCD symptoms

2.  Typically, the prognosis with OCD is normally pretty good, if the people will commit to counseling.,

3. Those with OCD have unwanted and intrusive thoughts and engage in repetitive behaviors.

4. Obsessions are recurrent unwelcome impulses, thoughts, and images that promote significant distress

5. Compulsions are repeated behaviors in which a person engages to reduce distress.

6.  Compulsions relieve the stress temporarily, but not long term relief

7.  Obsessions:  Contamination (germs, touching door handles, handing money) Self Doubt ( fear of misplacing possessions, fear of forgetting assignments or homework) Harm to self or others ( fear of causing an accident) Religious (fear of eternal damnation) Sexual themes ( repeated pornographic images of teacher, intrusive sexual thought or images)  I didn’t make this stuff up.  It is in the book

8.  Compulsions:  Cleaning( hand washing, brushing teeth too much, cleaning the home) Counting ( performing tasks a certain number of times, counting steps) Checking ( returning to check doors, faucets, etc.) Balancing ( need for evenness, such as a desktop Demanding reassurance ( excessive internet searches about fears, checking your phones over and over to see who is sending you things, leaving messages, snap chats ?  {how many of you have checked your phone since starting to read this} ) and Hoarding behaviors.

9.  Obsessive thoughts lead to anxiety and fear which leads to compulsive behaviors, which brings temporary relief, which will then return to more obsessive thoughts and repeating the cycle.

10.  Many cultures have superstitious behaviors and rituals that may seem like OCD behaviors, but they are a necessary part of the people’s lives.

11.  OCD clients can often be perfectionists, and can’t move on from a task until it is perfect.

12.  OCD can significantly impair social functioning as the behaviors become more important than the relationships.

Witches in Italian Culture (Stregheria)

October 5, 2020 Leave a comment History, MLA

We have talked about many different types of supernatural creatures through various lenses throughout the course. There is, however, one supernatural creature we have not yet mentioned. For your final, you will use three or more of the academic approaches we have been utilizing throughout the course to perform an in depth analysis on witches. This is a research paper and you will be expected to write a clear and precise thesis statement and find at least three scholarly sources that support your ideas. Depending on the quality of your sources, it is likely that you will want more than three to support your thesis.

Thesis statement: Needs revision!
    Stregheria is a form of modern paganism most commonly practiced in early Italian witchcraft. There are several different aspects of stregheria, each with its own history and traditions. Charles Leland brought stregheria to light when he published, Aradia: Gospel of Witches, in the 1800s. With his foundings, stregheria grew popularity among Italian culture, even some of which is commonly used today in Southern Europe.
