Mental cruelty
Applying psychology
We define psychology as the study of behavior and mental processes to apply this understandings in the seeking the best thing for mankind. The death row for some people has last up to twenty-four years. Death row inmate waits out the years for their punishment alone in isolation confinement spooning 23 hours a day in their cell. They are excluded from prison training and recreation programs, even visit and excessive privileges are restricted (http://www.alternet.org/story/106300/ waiting_to_die%3A_the_cruel_phenomenon_of_%22death_row_syndrome%22). This is something that affects people because once these prisoners are on the death penalty they start suffering from traumas.
The isolation of these prisoners are having can lead to agitation, violence self-distraction behavior, depression, hallucinations, paranoia, and even claustrophobia. These are mental problems that could affect the prisoners if they are found innocent and send back to the world. These traumas can affect not only their mental and physical health but also those who are around them. The only way in which this is preventable is by either abolishing the capital punishment or not putting people on death row. Also all those traumas can be solve by using medicine or therapies. A way to reduce the anxiety and agitation this prisoner might have develop is using the systematic desensitization or some anxiolytics for the anxiety the prisoners might be presenting. To cure the depression this prisoner could have been send to a cognitive therapy with some antidepressant, it all depend on the case of depression this prisoners might have.
Psychology could be helping the world by educating those that do not know about certain things which affect people so that we could all try to put efforts together in different ways to create a better place for everyone. The major way I have acquire for this psychology class is the fact that most answer for problem around us have many cause is not only about our genetic, or about what science say, or religion, the way life work depend of something made form everything around people. Psychology helped me understand why organism work the way they do, how everything has an explanation, how what I learn such as why people act the way they do can give me an advance on how to approach them base on how they are acting.
