There are three theories about why we dream provided in the readings including: wish-fulfillment, activation-synthesis theory, and the cognitive view of dreams. For this assignment, you will be creating a project that illustrates the following: An example of a vivid, emotional, or recurring dream that you can remember (and don’t mind sharing with the class), your analysis of the dream (what emotions were in play, what was happening in your life at the time you had the dream, and whether you believe those events prompted the dream), and which of the three theories you believe best supports your analysis.
Sample Solution
treatment at the time, popularized by Dr. Benjamin Rush, was bloodletting, in an effort to rid the body of toxins in the blood. Many people were treated this way by Rush and other doctors who believed in its healing properties. It was not until nearly 100 years later that bloodletting fell out of practice when people realized that it was germs and not toxins in the blood that were causing people to be sick. Cholera was another epidemic that occurred in America. Cholera is an intestinal infection that is caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholera, which is found in infected drinking water or food products. Its main symptom is severe diarrhea, which can cause dehydration and even death. This particular outbreak took place in New York, where people lived crowded on top of one another in unsanitary conditions. Cholera exits the body through fecal matter; so when the infected fecal matter is not disposed of properly, it can get close enough to contimunate a water or food source. People injest these contaminated substances and are then infected with the cholera bacterium. Once the outbreak was established, the proper health officials were able to determine that the water had gotten contaminated, and there was a concentrated effort to decontaminate the water and to prevent another cholera outbreak by making concentrated efforts to prevent contamination of food and water sources. Another epidemic that occurred in America before the 1918 Influenza Epidemic was the outbreak of Scarlet Fever that occurred in waves over the course of the 19th century. It develops from Streptococcus pyogenes, which is the bacteria that causes strep throat. In addition to a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and fever that come with regular strep throat, scarlet fever also has other symptoms like a red or âscarletâ rash that makes the skin rough and scaly. Scarlet fever infected and killed those below ten years of age during the height of its spread, due to that age groups susceptibility. It was spread through a healthy person coming into contact with infected respiratory droplets. The end of the outbreak of this bacteria is still mysterious to scientists, due to the fact that it was only later that it was discovered that scarlet fever could be treated with antibiotics. The final epidemic that occurred in America before the Great Influenza was the outbreak of typhoid fever in New York in the early 20th century. Typhoid is caused by the Salmonella typhi bacteria and spreads by an infected person infecting food or water with the bacteria, and others ingesting the infected water or food. It starts out similar to other fevers or cases of flu, with a fever and body aches, but as the bacteria develops further, diarrhea and a rash can occur. The term âTyphoid Maryâ came into being around this time when it was found that a woman by the name of Mary Mallon was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid and had passed it to at least 7 households. Her unhygienic practices as a cook led to at least one death and the spread of typhoid to many others. These cases and others in the United States were able to be treated with antibiotics, which have since been developed to come with fewer side effects and to be more effective. These American epidemics all took place before the Great Influenza Epidemic of 1918, but in studying them, it has become clear they are not similar enough for the population to have built up any kind of innate resistance to this influenza based on their exposure to these other diseases. Besides the human prevention attempts, like the new cleanliness standards put into place because of the effect of cholera, and the creation of vaccines in an attempt to eradicate the flu, humans were not at all prepared for a flu such as the strain that presented itself in 1918. The American populace, already weak from the most devastating war in its memory, was not prepared for a flu that hit its youth hardest. Out of a total population of 103.2>
