PLACEBO:
"A substance having no pharmalogical effect but given merely to satisfy a patient who suppose it to be a medicine". H. K. Beecher evaluated 15 clinical trials concerned with different diseasses and found that 35% of 1,082 patients were satisfactorily relieved by a placebo alone. He began studies to try and understand how something could be produced by nothing. "The reanaysis of Beechers data claims that the improvements were due to: Spontenous improvementetc. Making it very difficult to see whether it was due to the placeboor the natural improvement. The tyoes of problems that one gets from placebos is the fact that you never truly know wherether or not the placebos is the one that is making the difference or another problem is that placebos are fake medicine and sometimes their is a real d need for medicine and then thanks to the placeboks some people even die. I believe that Placebos are just like deception they mess up with your mind even after debriefing which is the most difficult part of the placebo takers. What i truly feel about the placebo is that they should be used for simple disease or diseases that are not in the long run going to kill you. In my mind they are not effective I think its true effectivness is the way people feel about their disease.

ALZHEIMERS DISEASE
Alzheimers Disease
includes the partial or complete loss of memorystored in a humans body. To me this diseaseis one of the sadest disease one could posibly acquire.There is no cure except a pill you can take that will help the loss of memory decrease. This disease basically creates a new person they slowly start to become another person not remembering whether you were there child, husband or simply someone from the streets. I find it completely strange h
ow one person with this disease changes so quickly how a person can respond to you, because generally people with alzheimers disease tend to be rude because they loose the sense of morals they have no idea whetherwhattheyare saying is someting rude or not. To me this disease is horrendous becuase the person who has the diseasse besides not knowing that they cant recall things(in some cases). they start to change quickly they will never understand something or be able to learn something new, it is quite strange to think about it. Because they change so quickly they startbecoming like babies again and they require so much attention b
ecause they have no idea about danger, so there is so much that these people need regarding care and attention that it is quite disturbing and to a point were we start to feel pitty towards them.

Gender Difference
Gender difference, scientits did in fact figureout that gender does play an important part in our memory, especially in the episodic memory. Women had an advantage they can remember words, task and names. But men did outpower women in unverbal things and visioupatial information. Although women still beat the men in remebering like where the keys are and this requires both visioupatial and episodic memory. In conclusion women have a better memory, like when they are remembering a face they can recall better those of a female than of a male. always remembering that education and background play a huge role in the memory.
Cultural Difference,
Studied by psychologists of chilhood amnesia or amnesia that all children have is determined mainly becuase of their background. It is caused mainly becuase of their background meaning that they learn more about their memor y from earlier stages due to their culture. Culture plays a huge role becuause it determinses the way in which parent behave towards their children whether it is in a personal way or not. The eventuality of us remembering an event is due to the way in which our parents and children talk about what happened and the ways in which children encode the information. This ties up to culture because in Asia parents have low talkative way with their children than the Americans and then the Maori which is highly based on culture then have a high talkative thing with their children causing cultural differences in the way that we have learned what happened to us during the child amnesia state in our bodies.
