Violence $9.99 Philosopher, cultural critic, and agent provocateur Slavoj Žižek constructs a fascinating new framework to look at the forces of violence in our world. Using history, philosophy, books, movies, Lacanian psychiatry, and jokes, Slavoj Žižek examines the ways we perceive and misperceive violence. Drawing from his unique cultural vision, Žižek brings new light to the Paris riots of 2005; he questions the permissiveness of violence in philanthropy; in daring terms, he reflects on the powerful image and determination of contemporary terrorists. Violence, Žižek states, takes three forms--subjective (crime, terror), objective (racism, hate-speech, discrimination), and systemic (the catastrophic effects of economic and political systems)--and often one form of violence blunts our ability to see the others, raising complicated questions. Does the advent of capitalism and, indeed, civilization cause more violence than it prevents? Is there violence in the simple idea of "the neighbour"? And could the appropriate form of action against violence today simply be to contemplate, to think? Beginning with these and other equally contemplative questions, Žižek discusses the inherent violence of globalization, capitalism, fundamentalism, and language, in a work that will confirm his standing as one of our most erudite and incendiary modern thinkers. |

The H Word: The Cause of All Anger and Violence $19.9 Bernard R. Buetens Ph.D., has over 30 years experience as a psychologist and through his work with patients he has discovered the destructive power of humiliation, which interferes with effective psychotherapy. With methods explained in this book, Dr. Buetens has taught both patients and other therapists how to recognize humiliation and deal with anger. Dr. Buetens considers humiliation insufficiently recognized by the mental health community. The title of this book, The H Word does not refer to Hell, but rather to humiliation. Anyone who experienced humiliation knows the horrific emotional experience which is not easily forgotten and remains a fear forever. This book is for anyone who wants to know more about anger and violence, and how to reduce the in order to feel joy and success. There is an old saying, where there is smoke theres fire. This work will demonstrate where there is anger there is humiliation. Dr. Buetens knows how anger and violence represent the smoke, and humiliation is the fire. By knowing the source of the smoke or anger, we can then fight the fire, humiliation. Author: Buetens, Ph. D. Bernard R.

Media Violence and its Effect on Aggression by Freedman, Jonathan L. Edition ILL, 0 $25.49 The scientific evidence does not support the notion that TV and film violence cause aggression in children or in anyone else. So argues Jonathan Freedman, based on his findings that far fewer than half of the scientific studies have found a causal connection between exposure to media violence and aggression or crime. In fact, Freedman believes that, taken to a more controversial extreme, the research could be interpreted as showing that there is no causal effect of media violence at all.Media Violence and its Effect on Aggressionoffers a provocative challenge to the accepted norms in media studies and psychology. Freedman begins with a comprehensive review of all the research on the effect of violent movies and television on aggression and crime. Having shown the lack of scientific support for the prevailing belief that media violence is connected to violent behaviour, he then explains why something that seems so intuitive and even obvious might be incorrect and goes on to provide plausible reasons why media violence might not have bad effects on children. He contrasts the supposed effects of TV violence on crime with the known effects of poverty and other social factors, and discusses the difference between television advertising, which, he argues, does have an effect, and violent programs, which do not.Freedman concludes by noting that in recent years television and films have been as violent as ever and violent video games have become more and more popular, yet during this period there has been a dramatic decreasein violent crime. He argues that this makes it highly implausible that media violence causes aggression or crime. |
What Causes ADHD - Parents Must Know Guide
Delivery of violence to our homes in the form of video games and other media where violence is glorified is worrying many parents. This is certainly NOT what causes ADHD but it does have an effect on a child's behavior whether he has ADHD or not! ADHD children sometimes display gratuitous violence towards classmates, siblings, teachers and parents. That can take the form of shouting, bouncing off the walls, meltdowns and hitting their peers or figures in authority such as long suffering parents and teachers.
Lead toxicity has been linked as a possible cause of problems in the brain's development and in fact experiments have shown that it may indeed be what causes ADHD in children or at least one of the causes. Pregnant mothers who were exposed to some sort of lead poisoning seem to be a t more risk of giving birth to an ADHD child. More work needs to be done in this area.
Israeli scientists have discovered that two genes may be what causes ADHD and this would certainly strengthen the genetic cause and or hereditary link. There is a strong correlation between the two although more studies need to be done. As there are so many different symptoms of ADHD which range from inattention to depression, impulsive behaviour and hyperactivity, it would seem that there are many genes involved. We are just at the beginning here in trying to understand what causes ADHD.
One of the principal areas of study into what causes ADHD in children is the chemical one in which the chemical neurotransmitters in the brain have been compromised and as such, there is impaired communication getting through which affects vital areas such as taking action, staying focused, deciding the consequences of actions and so on. As this impairment worsens, the child is unable to concentrate, is distracted and is sometimes hyperactive.
The drug companies have focused on the use of amphetamine drugs to help the brain chemicals to function and therefore children who are treated with these drugs can focus better and be more attentive. There are a wide range of side effects in children on these drugs (maybe up to 20%)!
These range from stroke, loss of appetite, weight loss and stunted growth. Add to that insomnia, depression, paranoia and other mental illness further down the line. Is there a better way? The answer is in the box below may not give you a definitive answer on what causes ADHD but it will give you all the information on an alternative safer, less drastic ADHD treatment.
