Bullying has become commonplace and is associated with increased rates of suicide, school violence, mental illness, and diminished academic performance. Victims of prolonged bullying frequently see suicide as their only option to escape it, and many school shooters are former students who were bullied. Bullying exacerbates any existing mental health conditions and prevents both victims and bullies from learning due to increased anxiety and a primary focus on bullying respectively. Philosophers like Epicurus, Aquinas, and Aristotle would emphasize treating others with compassion through virtues like justice and kindness.
VE 10 Q2 Topic 6 We Know the Importance of Our Emotions (Modifiers).pdfRedgz Tapalla-Molidor
油
This document discusses how emotions affect human behavior and responsibility. It explains that emotions are meant to be expressed in healthy ways, as suppressing emotions can harm well-being. The document also discusses several "modifiers of human acts" that can diminish culpability for one's actions, including ignorance, intense emotions, fear, violence, and habits. It provides examples of how different types of ignorance and emotions can lessen or increase responsibility depending on the situation.
This document discusses different types of human freedom, including physical freedom to move freely, psychological freedom of choice, and moral freedom to act with dignity. It also examines elements of freedom such as voluntariness to act of one's own free will and responsibility to accept consequences. Finally, it defines human acts as rational actions involving understanding and free will, and distinguishes these from involuntary acts due to ignorance, fear, passion, violence, or habits.
The passage discusses the pros and cons of the death penalty. It acknowledges that both sides make valid points, with proponents arguing it makes citizens safer and opponents arguing humans shouldn't play God. The author ultimately believes the death penalty should be abolished for three reasons: governments are flawed systems, a law won't end all murders, and people shouldn't have authority to determine if someone lives or dies.
The document discusses abuse and violence, defining abuse as harmful treatment from someone trusted and violence as intentional physical force often causing injury. It outlines types of abuse like physical, emotional, sexual, neglect, bullying, domestic violence, and child abuse. It provides signs and examples for each type. Finally, it recommends ways to prevent abuse and violence, such as reporting abuse, maintaining good relationships, avoiding dangerous situations and people prone to violence, and being cautious online.
Man has free will that distinguishes him from creation and allows him to reason between good and evil. True freedom comes from following moral laws, which sets us free from slavery to sin. While living virtuously requires struggle, strength comes from prayer, Scripture, and sacraments like Reconciliation and the Eucharist. Moral acts proceed from deliberate choices between good and evil, expressing one's character. Responsibility for acts depends on knowledge, with invincible ignorance lessening culpability.
This document provides an introduction and overview of key concepts related to philosophy of the human person, freedom, and responsibility. It discusses the difference between human acts and acts of man, defines voluntary and involuntary actions, and distinguishes between intellectual choice and practical choice. The objectives are to identify concepts around human freedom, explain the relationship between freedom and obligation, distinguish between human actions and acts of man, and apply the concepts to hypothetical situations.
Man's free will distinguishes him from the rest of creation through his ability to reason, understand, and discern between good and evil. True freedom comes from following moral laws rather than one's desires, as desires can enslave us to sin. Living virtuously through obedience to moral truths leads to fulfillment and happiness. While love of God is the perfect motivator for moral living, fear of consequences can also motivate obedience. Christians believe God has established moral laws for our benefit that are written on our hearts through natural law.

Aggression & Antisocial Behavior

Todays outline
Why are people aggressive?
Instinct/Biology
Narcissists
Social learning
Media & violence
Aggression under orders
Milgrams study
Assertiveness instead of aggression
Antisocial Behavior
Antisocial behavior: any behavior that has a negative impact on other people
Aggression: hurting another person or achieving ones goals at the expense of another person
E.g. war, homicide, riots, rape, assault, forcible robbery, family violence, bullying, etc.
Why are we aggressive?
Why are we aggressive?
First, as a quick note, with each passing year the world has grown more peaceful
Despite what it may seem like from the media
The world is many times more peaceful than in ancient times, where proportionally more people would died in wars
In the 2000s there were only 2k deaths per year from warring countries whereas in the 1950s there were 65k per year.
Instincts
Ethologists: people who study natural behavior patterns of animals
Believe that aggression is innate in all animals, including humans, e.g. killer instinct
Freud would have agreed
The fact that we are biologically capable of aggression does not mean that aggression is inevitable or part of human nature
The vast majority of people are NOT aggressive
Some cultures show very little: Eskimos, Navajo
Biology
Testosterone correlated with aggression
May partially explain why we see more physical violence from men than woman
Alcohol & other drugs lower inhibitions
The majority of murders and violent crimes involve alcohol
Body temperature is also linked to aggression
For this reason prisons usually keep a cool temperature
Other innate causes of aggression
Well, this theme has come up many times so far in this course, but once again:
Narcissists
Violent individuals often have high self-esteem and grandiose self beliefs
Bushman & Baumeister (2002), the authors of your textbook, also found that violent prisoners have higher narcissism scores than nonviolent people
Narcissism continued
Narcissistic personality inventory:
I insist on getting the respect I deserve
Then participants mark the extent to which they agree
Direct quote from the Columbine killer:
Isnt it fun to get the respect that were going to deserve?
Narcissistic rage, yikes!!!
Aggression as a response to Frustration
Frustration-aggression hypothesis: frustration tends to lead to aggression
road rage
watch for verbal aggression when people are frustrated
Why though?
Perhaps because frustration is an aversive state
Aggression as a response to aversive stimuli
Aversive stimuli make us more sensitive to aggressive cues
Aversive stimuli: pain, temperature, odors, etc.
Aggression cues: signals that are associated with aggression
Rude gestures, middle finger, body language
Weapons effect: observation that weapons serve as strong cues for aggressive behavior
Murders are much more likely in homes with guns

A presentation by Adam Arnold at the event "Bullying in Our Midst" (4/14/13) - http://semnsynod.org/ministries/cyf/bullying-in-our-midst/
What makes a bully be a bully? What conditions and variables are in place that makes him/her think its okay to be cruel to others? If we really want to stop the epidemic that is literally taking the lives of our youth, we must go beyond treating the symptoms of the bullys behavior. We must look at the source of the problem.
Utilizing the latest research on bullying, psychotherapist Adam Arnold discusses systemic, practical, and strength-based approaches for getting to the heart of bullying.
Adam holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and Psychotherapy, is Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and is a member of the LGBT Therapists Network, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy as well as the Minnesota Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.

油
This document discusses the difference between human acts and acts of man. Human acts come from a person's premeditated free will and require elements of knowledge, freedom, and voluntariness. Acts of man are involuntary actions performed without using intellect or will, such as bodily functions, or actions done due to ignorance, fear, or force. The document provides examples of human acts like a student working part-time to help her parents, versus acts of man like a person crossing the street unsafely due to ignorance of traffic rules. It emphasizes that human acts are expected of humans and require full knowledge and willingness.
Albert Ellis (1913-2007) was an American psychologist who developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). He had a difficult childhood, suffering from numerous health issues and an unstable family life after his parents' divorce when he was 12. These experiences influenced his interest in psychotherapy. After earning degrees in business administration and psychology, Ellis began advocating a direct, active form of psychotherapy called Rational Therapy in 1953. REBT helps clients identify and dispute irrational beliefs that lead to dysfunctional emotions and behaviors, replacing them with more rational and adaptive beliefs. Ellis authored over 80 books popularizing REBT for conditions like depression, anger, anxiety, and relationship issues. He is considered one of the founders of cognitive behavioral therapy.

The document discusses disclosing a history of mental illness like OCD and depression when applying for jobs.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
油
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.

Editor's Notes
#3: , he also explained that freedom is also understood as the power to be what you want to be and the ability to decide and create yourself.
Freedom is rooted in the human persons self-determination and the exercise of intellect and free will. This means that a persons every action is freely determined and these actions define him or her.
#6: 1. Meaning, it allows us to move from one place to another and to go wherever we want to go.
2. This freedom is innate or natural and cannot be denied. This is also called freedom of choice.
3. We are become more free when we use our freedom well, but becomes less free when we use it in a bad way
#8: Voluntariness and responsibility go hand-in-hand in determining freedom, when we are in a situation where we are forced to do an action against on our will it follows that we are not be held responsible for our involuntary actions.
#10: Any actions that lack of these attributes are not considered as Human Acts.
#12: These are the actions connected with the persons body. Examples are sleeping, beating of the heart, digestion, blinking of the eye, eating, and walking.
