Sense of Self: Schizophrenia and I In 1911, a Swiss psychiatrist named Eugen Bleuler coined the term "schizophrenia." It originated from the Greek words, schizo, which translates to "split" and phrenia, meaning "mind." When Bleuler conveyed the meaning of this term, it was not to label a person as a "split personality," but rather as a split between what is believed, what is perceived, and what is objectively real (1). Throughout history, the disorder has been confused and misunderstood by the general public. The idea of "split" has led people to equate schizophrenia with multiple personality disorder which is a psychiatric condition that is different and much less common. Bleuler did not want to label schizophrenia as the disorder where a person is split into two personalities; instead he wanted to explain that in schizophrenia, there is a splitting away of the personality from reality. Schizophrenia is a disorder that affects about 1 in 100 people at different stages in their lives and is very difficult to diagnose. It has many symptoms that typically begin to appear around age 18-30 (2). Signs of Schizophrenia can be misread and sometimes overlooked due to the amount of other disorders that share many of the symptoms. Autism is one example. Symptoms can be classified into "negative" and "positive." Negative symptoms could be seen as those that are absent but should be present. Examples of negative symptoms include lack of motivation or apathy, blunted feelings, depression, and social withdrawal (1). Positive symptoms are those that should be present but are absent. Some examples of positive symptoms are hallucinations, delusions, thought disorder, and an altered sense of self (1). It is thought that hallucinations are the... ... middle of paper ... ...eflects their "character" and stands for the thing that makes a person "complete" and "separate," then does that mean that a person feels that who they are has changed when they have this disorder? This question leads to the way that this disorder alters one's "sense of self," by making the individual and those who are close to him or her question the one thing that makes each person unique, their self.

Subsequently, the provided documents on the birth control movement did show the push and pull factors of the complicated and multifaceted debate. Americas push towards industrial growth, and technology demanded that the subsequent progressive reforms were needed for a society ushering in a new era. At the same time, fear and reluctance to abandon tradition and religious custom acted as the pulling factor. The birth control debate was a complicated and heavily charged debate teemed in religious, social, political, and racial rhetoric. Historical documents help shed new light on the things taken for granted today, even the most seemingly innocuous things like birth control were fought for, so that men and women today could be in charge of their own destinies.

Marilyn was born as Norma Jeane Mortensen on June 1, 1926. She was born in Los Angeles, California to her mother Gladys Pearl Baker, but she never knew who her father was. When Marilyn’s mother was institutionalized, she was put into foster care; through most of her early years, she was either in foster care or an orphanage. When she got a little older, she moved in with Grace and Doc Goddard, a very religious and stern couple. They shielded Marilyn and would not let her go to the movies. After living with them for a few years, the Goddard family moved to the East Coast and they were unable to bring Marilyn with them. She was then sent back into foster care, where she had a tremendously rough time. Marilyn was sexually assaulted and she wanted to get out of foster care as soon as possible. To accomplish this, she knew she needed to get married (BIO. Marylin Monroe).
The 1900’s were filled with many great people but the women of that era were often forgotten. Marilyn Monroe changed every person's expectation of what a woman was supposed to be like in the 1900’s.

Baby bear was lost. He saw huge buildings, houses, and things that were moving with people inside of them. He kept walking further and wandered into what he thought was a house.

Somerset Maugham said that “To eat well in England you should have breakfast three times a day”. “To live anywhere in the world you should eat at least three times a day” is probably close to the truth as well. What people eat and drink in countries close to the Mediterranean Sea is called the Mediterranean Diet. To compare this Mediterranean Diet to a typical Diet from the south of Benin, it would be correct to say that the Benin Diet is equivalent to the Mediterranean Diet because although the nutritional values are lower in the Beninois diet, it is cheaper and easier to find than the Mediterranean diet in the southern region of Benin. This paper is going to compare the diet of Benin to the diet of the Mediterranean from the nutritional values, the availability and the accessibility perspectives.

Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Baker on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California. During her early years she overcame many hardships. Marilyn's father deserted the family before her birth, so she spent most of her childhood not knowing her father's identity. There are two possibilities - Edward Mortenson, who was named on her birth certificate, and Stanley Gifford, who worked with her mother Gladys. Marilyn moved between many foster homes, when her mother was sent to a mental hospital after developing psychiatric problems. Eventually, Grace McKee, her mom’s best friend, became her guardian. McKee allowed nine year old Marilyn to curl her hair and wear makeup until McKee married and sent her to an orphanage. She was then sent to live with her great aunt, Olive Brunings, and it was thought that Marilyn was sexually assaulted by Olive’s son.

Together with the accessibility of the food in the south of Benin and its affordability, my region’s diet is equal to the Mediterranean diet. The reason why it is not superior to the Mediterranean diet is that it does not contains enough nutrients to guarantee a long life expectancy.
The typical African, whether in a rural farming community or in the bustling city environment, takes great care to see that meals are properly served and eaten. Great attention is also given to how the meals are prepared and what are its constituents.
