My research topic is schizophrenia . I am looking into the real life of John Nash in A Beautiful Mind. I have heard his real life wasn't much like the movie. I also know that the medicine they use to treat schizophrenia has become much better because side effects to medication can be life altering. Also schizophrenics don't see things they hear things so Hollywood had to make up some of the movie. I feel sorry for the mentally ill because people have a tendency to be afraid of them so they get cast out of society and sometimes never receive the treatment they need.

Hello I am a student at LaGuardia I am a technology optimist. I am a sophomore and hope to go to John Jay as a Criminology student or Forensic phycology, I plan on going to Law school. My favorite movies are movies that make you question things or of course comedies. I think today most people are optimistic about technology.
i am an older student but am still greatful to be getting the edgucation I need to chase my dreams in life.
I am going to write a paper on " A beatiful mind " the movie based on the mathmatician who fell ill with skitsophrania. Because I'm interested in phycology studies I think this topic will be fit for me. I also feel that in our country we are going the wrong way by criminalizing our mentaly ill and putting them into our jails. I am  looking forward to seeing the beautiful mind movie again and writing my paper and using the huge selection of research sites for our class. This class has been a little challenging for me because I'm one of those people who fears computers a little bit. I'm not a Millenial generation so I didn't grow up with all the technology either. I have basic computer skills and am gaining even more from this class. This is the first time I've ever made a blog or used search engines such as Wikkileaks etc. This class is extreemly good for me to take. I'm just goinbg to try my hardest and see how it goes.
