The Psychological Impact of Historical Trauma on Native American People Native American historical trauma is similar to other massive generational group traumas. Past examples include the Jewish holocaust, slavery of the African people in the United States, and treatment of the Japanese Americans in the U.S. during World War II. Understanding the history of Native Americans allows for the design of culturally specific preventative and therapeutic interventions. Contrary to what is taught in modern history books, Native Americans were an advanced culture deeply immersed in their environments. From the invasion by the Spanish in the 1400s to the scorched earth extermination policies of the United States in the 1800s, Native Americans endured attempted genocide, forced relocation and confinement to reservations, and forced assimilation. Historical trauma is generational and dwells deep in the souls of Native American individuals and communities all across the United States. For any healing to occur, one must take a close look at the root cause of historical trauma for the Native American people. The focus of this book is to explore and develop ideas that will assist Native Americans in accessing which old ways are too biologically ingrained to do away with and what new ways must be taken on to come to terms with such a massively different environment.
To understand the Native American people, it is essential to understand the environment in which they live, know their history, and see how this history has shaped them. It is equally important to understand and respect their worldview, which describes the thought process of a people or a culture. Native Americans were displaced from their traditional lands, their sacred sites were excavated, and their sacred objects were placed in private collections and museums. Their dead were exhumed from their traditional burial sites to make room for ranching and industry. Their artwork was never seen as separate from their culture. It was commercially reproduced and modified for Western tastes. Traditional ceremonies and stories were depicted, usually inaccurately, in novels, movies, and on television. Their way of life was disrupted, and they were forced to accept religious institutions whose dogmas often conflicted with Native American values.
A variety of terms have been used interchangeably to refer to America's indigenous populations - Indians, Native Americans, American Indians, Native peoples. The problem of terminology began with Columbus. He was lost. The people he met were not Indians because he was not in India. Still, for six centuries, these peoples have been called Indians. They are many different peoples and many different nations with many other languages. To justify the use of Indians, which some scholars find offensive, I refer to Sherman Alexie's remark during a reading in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, March 1993: The white man tried to take our land, our sovereignty, and our languages. He gave us the word Indian. Now he wants to take the word Indian away from us too. Well, he can't have it. Throughout this book, all these terms have been used interchangeably to best reflect the subject being discussed.
Shopping addiction, pathological buying, or compulsive buying disorder are all mental health conditions characterized by the persistent, excessive, impulsive, and uncontrollable purchase of products despite severe psychological, social, occupational, and financial consequences. Unlike ordinary non-addicted shoppers, who buy to improve their mood, cope with stress, gain social approval/recognition, and improve their self-image, compulsive buyers buy to improve their mood, cope with stress, gain social support/recognition, and improve their self-image. Although the consequences of long-term compulsive buying include feelings of regret/remorse for purchases, shame, guilt, legal and financial problems, and interpersonal difficulties, people with compulsive buying fail to stop buying.

If you've been asked to give a public speech, you may wonder: what is public speaking, and why is public speaking important? Those questions are quite logical if you've never thought much about public speaking before. Public speaking is essential in both business, education, and the public arena. There are many benefits to speaking in public, whether you're an individual or a company.
If you ask most people, they'll probably say they don't like public speaking. They may even admit to being afraid of it since public speaking is a widespread fear. Or they may just be shy or introverted. For those reasons, many people avoid speaking in public if they can. If you're one of those people who avoid speaking in public, you're missing out.
Over the years, public speaking in communication has played a significant role in education, government, and business. Words have the power to inform, persuade, educate, and even entertain. And the spoken word can be even more powerful than the written word in the hands of the right speaker.
Irish cuisine is a style of cooking developed by the Irish people. It evolved through centuries of social and political change. The cuisine takes its influences from the crops grown and animals farmed in Ireland's climate. The introduction of the potato in the second half of the 16th century heavily influenced Ireland's cuisine after that. Irish dishes are Irish stew, bacon and cabbage, boxty, coddle, colcannon, and fadge.
This cuisine is based on fresh vegetables, fish (especially salmon and trout), oysters, mussels and other shellfish, traditional soda bread, the wide range of cheeses that are now being made across the country, and, of course, the potato. Traditional dishes, such as Irish stew, coddle, the Irish breakfast, and potato bread, have enjoyed popularity.
In the name of humanity. That was the explanation of Dr. Claus Karl Schilling for the execution of malaria experiments upon 1,200 inmates of the Dachau concentration camp during the Second World War. The reputable Schilling had come to Dachau with the personal permission of the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler in 1942 because he could use the prisoners as research subjects without the restriction of obtaining their consent. Schilling was not an exception.
Many Nazi doctors seized the unique opportunity to execute human experiments without legal and ethical restrictions during the war. The SS and the Wehrmacht either initiated or supported the research of the Nazi doctors. The central question that puzzled jurists and scientists is how these doctors, who were educated to heal people, could execute human experiments and deliberately harm and even kill people. To some scientists, their acts stand out as 'exemplars of evil.' This judgment is based on the fact that prisoners did not give their informed consent, the cruel and sometimes sadistic character of the experiments, and because never before in medical experiments was the death of the research subjects a central element of the research design. Many people think that 'science went mad' in the Third Reich and that Nazi doctors who committed these crimes were pseudo-scientists, sadists, and even monsters. However, it is a false explanation to think these perpetrators were madmen or monsters.
It is confronting to know that physicians belonging to the most advanced medical community of the world at the time and who had sworn to 'do no harm, could commit these crimes.
On this trail, Dr. Josef Mengele's pseudo-scientific research at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II led to immeasurable suffering amongst the camp's children.

The Nazi party's rise to power in Germany during the 1930s is widely attributed to its leaders' strategic use of propaganda, most notably Adolf Hitler. Propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion and manipulating the masses to support the Nazi party's extremist ideologies, ultimately leading to one of the most catastrophic events in human history - World War II. This rise to power was not a sudden occurrence but a gradual process involving an extensive and sophisticated propaganda campaign targeting various aspects of German society. In this book, we will explore how propaganda was used to fuel the Nazi party's rise and examine how it gained support from the German people, including through symbols, slogans, and persuasive rhetoric. The consequences of this propaganda-driven rise to power continue to profoundly impact modern-day politics and how we perceive the power of propaganda in shaping public opinion.
The art world was forever changed with the emergence of Vincent Van Gogh. His vivid, emotional paintings captured the attention and admiration of many, even as the artist struggled with mental illness and financial instability. But behind every great artist is often an equally great supporter, and for Vincent Van Gogh, that person was Johanna Bonger.
Johanna was more than just Vincent's sister-in-law. She was a woman who was fiercely determined to champion Vincent's work, even when it was misunderstood or dismissed by critics and collectors. Her unwavering support was essential in preserving Vincent's legacy and securing his place in art.
The Courage of Johanna Bonger: The Woman Who Made Vincent Van Gogh Immortal is a tribute to the woman who played a pivotal role in shaping Vincent's artistic reputation. Through letters, personal accounts, and historical research, this book delves into Johanna's life, her unwavering commitment to Vincent, and the challenges and obstacles she faced along the way.
From her liberal-minded upbringing to her eventual marriage to Theo van Gogh, this book explores Johanna's journey to becoming a driving force in preserving Vincent's legacy. The book also delves into Vincent's struggles with mental illness and how this impacted his relationships with others, including Johanna.
Through the lens of Johanna's story, The Courage of Johanna Bonger offers a fresh perspective on Vincent Van Gogh and the enduring impact of his work. It celebrates the power of dedication and the courage to stand by one's convictions, even in the face of opposition. Ultimately, this book is a tribute to a remarkable woman who played a crucial role in immortalizing Vincent Van Gogh.

Because of the dynamic cultural characteristics and social pressures in today's classroom, these strategies and procedures will accommodate a wide range of student conduct. In today's classroom, order and efficiency can be restored.
Alcohol use entails high medical, social, and economic costs for our society. Despite laws restricting the age of alcohol users, alcohol use is young. Alcohol consumption among adolescents is characterized by frequent drinking and drinking in high quantities. At the same time, during adolescence, the brain undergoes many developmental changes.
Alcohol use can cause brain damage and long-term detrimental neurocognitive effects, such as executive functioning, memory, and learning abilities. Moreover, evidence suggests that early-onset and high-risk alcohol use among adolescents increase the risk for later alcohol abuse and addiction.
In the early centuries, Celtic mythology survived as a primarily oral tradition, influenced significantly by the geography of its lands. Sagas and legends were passed down from one generation to the next through storytelling; only after the Roman conquest were some of these myths recorded in writing. This was often done by Christian monks closer to the 11th century, who recorded the stories themselves but stripped away the original beliefs and earlier religious overtones.
The ancient Celts were neither a race nor a nation. They were a varied people bound together by language, customs, and religion rather than any centralized government.
We are talking about a vast and variegated culture that made its presence felt from the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and Ireland to the frontiers of Liguria in Italy and the upper Danube. Suffice it to say, their mythology instead mirrored this multifarious scope, with various tribes, chiefdoms, and even later kingdoms having their own set of folklore and pantheons.
Basically, that means that 'the Celts' doesn't describe a single cohesive group of people.
The existence of the Celts was first documented in the seventh or eighth century B.C. The Roman Empire, which ruled much of southern Europe at that time, referred to the Celts as Galli, meaning barbarians.
However, the Celts were anything but barbarians, and many aspects of their culture and language have survived through the centuries.
The ancient Celts had rich mythology made up of hundreds of tales. Adventure, heroism, romance, and magic are a few of the elements that make Celtic mythology one of the most fascinating mythologies of Europe.
Celtic mythology comes from several regions and different tribes. The bulk of them are from Ireland and also Wales.
Early Irish myths blend mythology and history by describing how Ireland was settled by different Celtic deities and humans. Filled with magic and excitement, the tales tell of battles between forces of light and darkness. They described a time when gods lived not in the heavens but on earth, using their powers to create a civilization in Ireland and bring fertility to the land.
There are four cycles, or groups, of connected stories. The Mythological Cycle focuses on the activities of the Celtic gods, describing how five races of supernatural beings battled to gain control of Ireland. The chief god was Dagda, whose magic cauldron could bring the dead back to life. The Ulster Cycle recounts the deeds of warriors and heroes, especially Cuchulain, the warrior and champion of Ireland. The Historical Cycle tells of the adventures and battles of legendary Irish kings. The Fenian Cycle deals with the heroic Finn Mac Cumhail, or Finn Mac Cool, leader of a band of bold warriors known as the Fianna. This cycle is filled with exciting adventures and tales of hand-to-hand combat.
Welsh mythology is found in the Mabinogion, a collection of 11 tales. In the Welsh myths, as in Ireland, the heroes often are half human and half divine and may have magical powers. Many of the stories in the Mabinogion deal with Arthurian legends, accounts of the deeds of Britain's heroic King Arthur and his knights.
John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States, as well as the country's youngest and first Catholic leader. His singularity foreshadowed a sort of challenge to his presidency from the start. Many people were taken aback by his assassination. It was the height of the Cold War and the United States' involvement in Vietnam. John F. Kennedy was elected President on January 20, 1961, by a razor-thin margin of 113,000 votes out of 69 million casts against his Republican opponent, Richard Nixon2. He was almost immediately confronted with the Cuban missile crisis, which he handled carefully, allowing him to defuse tensions and avert war. This immediately helped to establish a new image for him, which is still held in high regard today.
On November 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, President of the United States of America, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Since nearly 50 years after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, much speculation, theory, and movement have existed. In fact, it appears that the only remaining mystery from the previous century is this one.

Psychologically minimalism is based on the idea that happiness doesn't come from stuff but rather from relationships and experiences. So when you get rid of the excess stuff surrounding you, you can better identify those things that are really important to you and what brings you pleasure in your life.
Studies have shown that people who are more focused on worldly pursuits, like getting rich and buying stuff, are at higher risk of becoming unhappy, anxious, having low self-esteem, and even developing problems with intimacy.
You may find yourself less stressed and more focused once you're living in a clean, organized space. Having fewer things to worry about really can make life seem more manageable, from the practical chores you do on a day-to-day basis to the big projects and problems you face.
When there is less chaos outside, we're likely to feel less confusion on the inside.
The experiments conducted during World War II provide some of the most extreme examples of human rights and ethics breaches the world has so far seen. There is no benefit in considering the Nazi experiments as other or irrelevant. The greatest good that can come out of these atrocities is the lessons they have to teach about what plays into and creates a hostile research environment. Before the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, Germany was at the forefront of medical research and medical ethics.
The rise of the National Socialist movement led to a moral decline in physicians' perception of their professional identity.
This was reinforced by concepts like lives not worth living, which was often repeated in Nazi propaganda and played a central role in justifying the atrocities committed under the Nazi regime.
The Nazi era in general, and the behavior of Nazi doctors in particular, show that despite a general historical progression toward greater humanity, egregious regressions and moral backsliding have occurred.
People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as narcissistic abuse.
It is difficult to pinpoint what makes a narcissistic abuser appear and the manipulative tactics he uses, which are different from those of other types of abusers as they are more covert and underhanded.
Narcissistic partners employ numerous stealthy tactics to devalue and manipulate their victims. These partners lack empathy and demonstrate an incredible sense of entitlement and superiority, which drives their exploitative behavior in interpersonal relationships. Their tactics can include verbal and emotional abuse, taking control of every aspect of the victim's life, and gaslighting. The victim often feels isolated in this type of abuse and is unlikely to have their experiences validated by friends, family, and society.
