Guadalupe Sanchez Per. 3 Unit One: Introduction to Psychology Does God exist? Everyone has different beliefs There is no way of knowing for sure You need faith in order to believe I also believe that Heaven and Hell exist *Mr. Parsons DOES NOT CARE whether we believe or not.* Hitler was mentally ill! Hitler was spanked by his father. Spanking a child can cause a mental illness, if they are hit on the head Hitler was basically beaten on a regular basis Would God condemn a mentally ill person to hell? **System of Belief: There is a God, and there is Heaven and/or Hell. ** The Great Debate Free Will Your behavior is the product of personal choice. People ARE morally responsible for their behavior God exists

Introduction to Psychology (Section 2B) Individual Report Topic: Reducing Academic Procrastination Introduction Procrastination is a well-known problem among students in secondary schools and universities. According to Laura J. Solomon & Esther D. Rothblum(1984), procrastination is experiencing subject discomfort from the act of needlessly delaying tasks. What are the reasons causing students to procrastinate? How can we reduce procrastination? These are the questions we always want to ask since procrastination is regarded as a disturbing phenomenon that we want to get rid of it. (Steel, P., 2007). In this research, we hope to have an in-depth understanding of academic procrastination and seek practical solutions for it. Project Summary Research Aim:

On demand programs are now must-haves for cable customers, and many search for torrents, full videos on Youtube or DVDs of seasons of their favorite shows. This has sparked many questions as to why millennials have this newfound fixation.

Maia Regman Mrs. Magnan Biology Honors 16 March 2014 What is Body Dysmorphic Disorder? It is very common knowledge that during the years of adolescence, people, especially girls, may feel they never measure up. Teenagers often compare themselves to others that they view as the epitome of beauty itself, and often destroy their self-esteem in the process. However, there is a chronic mental disorder that has come to light in recent years that a young adult may have called body dysmorphic disorder, that should not be confused with this.

Maia Regman Mrs. Magnan Biology Honors 14 May 2014 What is Vitiligo? Following the release of his iconic album Thriller in 1983, Michael Jackson made news for something other than his music. Tabloids released reports that Michael bleached his skin and did not want to be black. Michael Jackson never commented on the matter until a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying ??this is the situation. I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of the skin; it?s something that I cannot help. Okay. But when people make up stories that I don?t want to be who I am, it hurts me.?
