Portal:Thinking. Portal:Logic. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As a formal science, logic investigates and classifies the structure of statements and arguments, both through the study of formal systems of inference and through the study of arguments in natural language. The field of logic ranges from core topics such as the study of fallacies and paradoxes, to specialized analysis of reasoning using probability and to arguments involving causality.
Logic is also commonly used today in argumentation theory. [1] The history of logic is the study of the development of the science of valid inference (logic). Logic was known as 'dialectic' or 'analytic' in Ancient Greece. A prolific writer, he was also a populariser of philosophy and a commentator on a large variety of topics, ranging from very serious issues to those much less so. Jump up ^ J. Purge server cache.

Keystone XL: Down the Line A Journey Along the Controversial Pipeline and Into America’s Energy FrontierBy Steven Mufson The proposed 1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline has enflamed the bitter fight over America's energy future.
Opponents say the pipeline—which is designed to bring oil extracted from Canadian tar sands down through the U.S. to ports in Texas—would further bind future generations of Americans to our outdated and dead-end oil-based energy policy. Supporters claim that it represents a step towards America’s energy independence. But Steve Mufson, author of Keystone XL: Down the Line and a reporter at The Washington Post, suggests that the real story of the pipeline is one about American frontiers and just how far we are willing to go to feed our addiction to oil. Recounting his journey along the length of the proposed pipeline, Mufson asks readers to consider what this policy debate looks like beyond the issues of climate change, tar sands and U.S. energy trade policy.

It's very important to always remember that ...Mind control is ubiquitous. It's almost a question of who is not mind controlled, as opposed to who is mind controlled. It's just a difference in degree. The whole question of what is consciousness and how it can be manipulated is one of the most crucial questions of our time.

Erminia Colucci, Lecturer, Centre for International Mental Health, School of Population Health, University of Melbourne, 5th floor, 207 Bouverie St, 3053 Carlton (VIC), Australia Email: ecolucci@unimelb.edu.au or fera_76@hotmail.com Abstract In this article, the authors explored the associations between suicide rates and a large number of sociocultural indexes, within the sociological framework provided by Durkheim and taking into account recent sociological theories. The analyses were performed on a sample of 87 nations and a subsample of posttraditional societies.
The authors found strong positive (linear) correlations between suicide rates and measures of secularization, and curvilinear relationships between measures of individualization and suicide rates. Negative associations were found between suicide rates and measures of individualization in a subsample of posttraditional countries. Article Notes Matteo Lenzi graduated in clinical psychology from Padua University (Italy).
Psychology. Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors.[1][2] Psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases,[3][4] and by many accounts it ultimately aims to benefit society.[5][6] In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist and can be classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and biological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors.
While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also directed towards understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of human activity.

More American soldiers commit suicide after they return from war, than are being killed in the war. Most of the war veterans suffer from PTSD. Steve is one of the proud American veterans who just returned from Afghanistan. He was an interrogator and very good at his job. Now, back home, he suffers from sleepless nights and bad conscience because of all the terrible things he did during the war. He has a lot of anger and fear for the future and is struggling to be a good father for his two-year-old twins.
Brain scientist Professor Richard Davidson sets up his mind to conduct an unusual experiment: He will teach American war veterans and children meditation and yoga. Davidson sets up his experiment and chooses the veterans for the experiment. We are entering a new era - a Renaissance where everything gets turned up side down.

Contents Contents Scheflin, A. Mindfulness and Kindness: Inner Sources of Freedom and Happiness. Herman's Stages of Recovery. Great Model from a Classic Book In Trauma and Recovery Judith Herman presents a model which describes in detail the healing process of people who struggle with a combination of problems related to unwanted, abusive, or traumatic experiences in their past.
The problems may include: Difficulty regulating emotions and impulses Emotional numbing Anger and aggression Substance addictions Behavioral addictions (porn, anonymous sex, gambling, etc.) Self-harming behaviors (cutting, burning, etc.) Stage 1 The first stage of dealing with and overcoming such problems, and of any helpful therapy or counseling, is about: Getting a ‘road map’ of the healing process. Most important, the key to healing from traumatic experiences in childhood is achieving these ‘stage-one’ goals of personal safety, genuine self-care, and healthy emotion-regulation capacities.
Of course, everything is not always so perfectly ordered and sequential. Depending on the person, the first stage of treatment may also involve: Stage 2.
