How A Psychiatrist Interviewed A Bipolar Patient

The psychiatrist asks this older woman to sit across from him and watches her carefully.

What I like about this man is that he talks to this woman humanely and calmly as if he really does want to help her.

This older woman seems to be anxious and stumbles over her words and you can't help but feel as if you want to comfort her.

He keeps talking about how two months ago that she talked a lot and how she was feeling cheerful.

How she has changed since then and asks her if there is anything she'd like to do.

This woman seems so down and shamed of her behavior it seems like to be wanting to ask for help from this psychiatrist.

The most famous line she says is, "I don't know." Then she keeps looking at the floor and looks as if she is about to be scolded by this authority figure.

He keeps asking her questions about what she does in her days, what she feels, and what would she would like to do in this moment in the film.

The psychiatrist talks about treatment and she seems admit about not receiving treatment at all.

It makes me think did her spouse convince her to come see this man or did the doctor influence to see this psychiatrist.

I hope this woman got the help she received in this time period and if not. I hope she feels safe and healthy in heaven.

The Story of Hilliard Brooks Jr's Murder

In 1950 on August 13, a 22-year old man named Hilliard Brooks Jr. was murdered on a bus after he was accused of making a disturbance. Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else? Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion. The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to. This bus driver called the police and a white officer shot this black man and wounded two people in the process. All because Jim Crow and the bus driver were trying to be big bosses and choose violence when they woke up that day. Brooks left behind a pregnant wife and several young children. Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges. After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...

Why Did Narrators From The 1950s Always Sound The Same?

Commercial radio broadcasting started within the 1920's and moved through the 1950's era. Soon enough people listened less to the radio and went for televisions as they became cheaper. This is because TV's back in the early 50's were very expensive that only the rich got to watch any shows or interviews. As you know lots of people tuned into the radio to hear about politics, Broadway shows, news broadcasts, and more to hear about what is going on in the world. What is shocking to find out is that people who were in radio broadcasts and in motion picture films sounded so similar was because they were taught to speak a certain way. Many people who taught what is called the transatlantic accent in radio and motion picture studios at the time. When the radio was introduced to the world, microphones sounded tinnier and had a very different frequency. Many companies wanted their speakers to adopt and accent so that they were heard clearly by the public and ...
