Fear conditioning is a psychological phenomenon in which individuals learn to associate fear with a specific stimulus. This process is a form of classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes linked to an aversive experience, causing a conditioned fear response. Fear conditioning is fundamental to human and animal behavior, playing a crucial role in survival, but it can also contribute to anxiety disorders, phobias, and social manipulation. The foundation of fear conditioning was laid by Ivan Pavlov’s classical conditioning experiments, later expanded by John B. Watson in his controversial “Little Albert” study. In this experiment, a young child was conditioned to fear a white rat by pairing its presence with a loud, frightening noise. This research demonstrated how fear responses could be artificially created and generalized to other stimuli. The brain plays a central role in this process, particularly the amygdala, which is responsible for processing emotional reactions and linking experiences with fear. Fear conditioning occurs in many aspects of life, from early childhood experiences to societal influences. Parents, teachers, and authority figures may unintentionally condition children to associate certain actions, places, or people with fear, shaping their behavior and worldview. For example, a child punished harshly for speaking out may develop a lifelong fear of confrontation. Similarly, fear conditioning is a powerful tool used in politics, advertising, and the media to influence public perception and behavior.Mostra libro

It's not just what you say, but how you say it. Good communicators know this, but it's often easier said than done. Teachers, leaders, and speakers are often left bewildered, wondering why the content that was so carefully planned and delivered seems to fall flat with the audience. The art of communication requires more than the transfer of information; it both connects with and engages the hearer. To communicate well, speakers must understand both their audience and themselves. Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences. Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive and process information. Sean Palmer draws from his extensive experience as a public speaker to develop communication strategies that lead to connection, transformation, and mobilization of audiences. Providing real examples of speeches he has given, Palmer shows how he uses the Enneagram to craft a message that connects with his audience. A healthy marriage of Enneagram wisdom and communication skill can help us speak with clarity into the heart of where people live, love, and experience life.Mostra libro
The author of this book, Diana Dirkby, is an Australian-born research mathematician who lives with paranoid schizophrenia, a severe brain disorder, as did her mother. The title, “The Overlife,” suggests that a diagnosis of schizophrenia can be the beginning of a new, worthwhile life and not simply the death of the hopes and dreams that preceded the diagnosis. This book gives a fictional account of a mother and daughter living with paranoid schizophrenia. We follow the widely disparate effects of this brain disorder on Sarah, the narrator, and her mother, Jodie. We also meet Dalaigh, Jodie’s husband and Sarah’s father, with his violent resentment at being trapped in a marriage he doesn’t want. By age eight, Sarah is Jodie’s caregiver and must negotiate her mother’s rapidly worsening mental health and her father’s white-hot fury. The weight of these adult conflicts on the shoulders of one so young seems impossible to bear.Mostra libro

This audiobook delves into the Klan’s resurgence, exploring how it capitalized on social fear, political turmoil, and cultural shifts to regain influence across the United States, particularly in the Midwest. Led by figures like D.C. Stephenson, the Klan expanded its reach into local governments and law enforcement, embedding itself deeply into the fabric of American life. With its rhetoric of nationalism and white supremacy, the Klan thrived on divisiveness, targeting not only African Americans but also immigrants, Catholics, and Jews. However, as its influence grew, so did the organization’s internal corruption and hypocrisy.Mostra libro
