(Writing for self amusement has given me the opportunity to stamp my opinion on the face of the Internet. These papers are based on a lot of scientific fact, and this was how I amused myself while trying to figure out what I wanted to be in life--fireman, teacher, doctor, or lawyer!)
This curriculum was used for eight years and the students were "high-risk" students. The methodology is based upon the Brain Self-Control techniques that are introduced on this site, but the methods have been tweaked to address the needs of today's adolescent. The students who participated in the program possessed a high degree of ownership. The drop-our rate at the HS where this program was initially implemented dropped by almost 85% in two years. We would be happy to help anyone or school that would like to implement the program do so.
The human brain consists of 3-brains-in-1 (MacClean, 1973). The triune brain is composed of three neural substrates that are represented by the reptilian brain, the paleomammalian brain, and the neomammalian brain. This paper goes into detail how the three different brains work together and independently to make us who we are.
The Self, introduces you to that biologically component that separates us humans from the rest of the animal kingdom--the human brain.
This technique of writing introduces the student writer to the use of heuristics and algorithms in writing papers. These techniques is particularly effective for students who must explain to the reader how he/she derived the solution to the problem. Student who use this technique score significantly higher on standardized test. The actually observing of students using this method took place over a ten year period.
Self-Realization and Social Responsibility
Within the modern industrial-consumer state the individual is self-alienated and the various institutions/policies within the state makes it metaphysically impossible for the individual to attain a state of self-realization and spiritual consciousness, this, in turn, threatens the success of any social movement or revolution. And, so it is addressed in this paper.
