Accidental Genius

http://pixhost.info/avaxhome/d6/53/001653d6_medium.jpeg
Who ever said that accidents are not for a good? In some cases, when people commit mistakes in certain way, a person can be mentally changed. These people are known as savants. Savants have an abnormal brain that starts to develop in the belly of the mom. Damages to the left hemisphere of the brain cause the right brain to function better and most efficiently. By not having the left-brain working well, the right brain has no limits. Isn’t this incredible! Imagine having no limits… being not good but perfectly excellent at an area of study or sport. This works the same way as senses work. Have you seen a blind man? They have other senses very well developed and this is caused because with the lack of sight, brain gives more energy to those other senses, for the person to be able to know what is happening. Just think about it… It just seems great!!!

Making A Genious

Is it possible to make a genius? Well, as the baby in the picture, any human that has an early start in any root of study, academics, sports, etc. will become a genius in that certain topic available for him early in life. Can any child be turned into a genius? Yes, this is what many people have been trying to prove, and it has worked pretty well. People with early start develop certain likes and possibilities that many cannot. Unique education transforms normal children, but for a genius to be made, the child would have to be devoted to that thing in which he got an early start. You should just remember this when you have kids… Would you like him to be a football star, an A+ student, or maybe an excellent cooker… start teaching him things since early ages and probably he will become an excellent and unique person in such areas.

Gifted People

It is very strange to see a person that can do extra normal things, but according to psychologists, many things can alter the way that a person behaves. Among these things we find environment state, experiences, accidents, etc. So, what can we say about these geniuses... Are they mentally ill? Well, most of them are, but doesn’t it look awesome to be able to do things that not all do. For many of us it is awesome, but the reality is that they do not live the life we live and most of these people have disabilities on other topics. This is because of the stimulation the brain has. Parts of the brains that are not stimulated in a certain amount of time will lose their ability to make the necessary connections. So remember these and start working mentally al days in different stuff. Do not forget that early start in education makes a change!

Nature vs. Nurture

There are many questions that psychologists have encounter. One of these questions is: what traits do human inherit or obtain by their environment? but the most controversial question is: Is homosexuality inherited through the genes or is it a cause of the way of interacting with ones environment? Many scientists al still looking for answers to these questions. Most of the time both genes and environment affect in the way that a person treats others or the way they think. Many tests and experiments have been made in order to testify if something is natured or nurtured; in these experiments identical twins are the variable. has these proven everything? Not yet, many times there have been cases that twins just do not give the same answer to scientists' questions. This is where the controversial topic of homosexuality comes to be. In many labs, scientists have tried to prove weather or not homosexuality is a gene disease or just an effect of the treatment of environment. Unfortunately when testing with identical twins, there have been flaws. No matter where they live, where they grew up, or what they eat, people will never absorb environment treatment the same as others and here comes the question: has environment changed the people or have the people the environment? This is just a wheel that comes round and around. People that have been changed by environment also change people, as well as Environments that have changed people, have also changed other environments, so what's the answer? In this case, I believe that homosexuals have changed environment because it is not the same to live with normal people and believing that homosexuality is bad. Than living with homosexuals and having people say that these people are normal. Lets keep on this topic in the future and lets see from where do these people change from.

Mind of a Murderer


http://www.viraj.org/images/normal_vs_murderer_brain.jpg


Are precarious people really bad or are they only people with mental issues? Are these people different? Shall we understand them? Well, people do not know what it is going through their mind, but according to some psychologists the problem is more of a mental issue than it is of wanting to kill. Most of the time, serial killers have had damaged their brains and evaluations support this idea. BRAIN DAMAGE MAY LEAD TO VIOLENT BEHAVIOR. It is true!!! The brain has the capacity to say ‘do not do that’ or ‘do it’ and accidents can cause this part of the brain to damage. The brain controls emotions and decisions and mental illnesses may cause the brain not to choose the right decisions. Almost all delinquents have brain damage… and it is kind of logical. So, after analyzing the facts that people that have damaged brains are less able to control their decisions, would you say that dangerous people are not bad, but take bad decisions due to accidents? Brain injuries can be caused by any accident, and if it is damaged many illnesses that you may not know of can absorb you way of thinking. Many times bipolar symptoms are diagnosed in these kinds of people that commit crimes, but this does not mean they are innocent. Everyone is responsible for his or her acts and no reason will be fair enough for someone to kill another person, but there has to be something done to these people that cause damage to others. Emotional damage is the most infected in a family when a member has been killed and I believe that the best way to prevent these acts to be done is by treating all of those who intend to murder. THIS IS AN ILNESS and it is infecting are world… we shall do something to stop it!!!

Living with Traumatic Brain Injury


http://bryanking.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/traumatic_brain_injury.jpg


It is not very good to have a traumatic brain injury. IT RUINS PEOPLE’S LIVES. People change a lot and their ways of life will be drastically distorted. Most of the time people that have traumatic brain injury are diagnosed with problems such as double sight, language and understanding problems, thinking problems, and it is very possible for the person to enter a state of comma. Family members and friends must help the person they love if they have had a brain injury. Recovery is very long and the person will never be the same as if he or she would not have had the accident. It is very difficult for these people to change their way of living and all emotions start to break out. Stress, suicidal thoughts, etc, etc can be some states in which a person with TBI can go through. I thank God everyday for health, and this is not common, but very important, you never know when you life will change as it has changed for many people that have TBI’s. It is a very difficult process in which all people with traumatic brain injury shall go through, no matter what, everyone near these people shall help them emotionally and in any way they can help. Brain is a very important item, a fragile one and it can be damaged very harshly, and this is why the body has a series of protection over it. Lets remember these people and help them if we can!

Mind Reading


http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/mro0029l.jpg


There is no impossible! Reading minds was a science fiction idea, but now it has become reality. Neuroscientists have learned how to ‘read minds’ through a magnetic process called MRI’s. These scientists have shown the way in which they can see the brain functioning to conclude in what are you thinking. Not only what object you think about, but what intentions do you have could be read through this machines. All science fiction has become true science nowadays. It is incredible to see how sciences become better and improved every day. If the sciences continue developing as they are, in very little time humans will be able to do things that no one would imagine. The fact is that there is no mind reading right now, there is just brain identification, but imagine a few years later. No one will be able to lie in court nor in a legal case… it will be incredible. A really truth scanner will develop from these discoveries, credibility will be tested and now no one will be able to say no if they really believe yes. Finally, the video mentions feelings detection and this is also incredible, now you are able to know what a person feels towards an idea… THERE IS NO SCIENCE FICTION!!!
