BiologicalDimenisionsProjectSampleJO.pptxI used Power Point and Google Images to complete my project on Demi Lovato. The first image that I chose was a scale due to the challenges she has with her weight. Next I chose a picture of pills due to the medications she has had to take due to manage the impact that her bulimia has had on managing other medical conditions (like bipolar disorder). The picture of the Upper Respiratory System reflects the challenges that frequent throwing up has on eroding her larynx. The picture of her mouth being open represents the vomiting associating with binge eating and the physical effects of stress impact on how she manages food. The theoretical perspective that best explains my project is Psychodynamic Perspective. This perspective focuses on behavior based upon the id, ego and superego. Currently the behavior that Demi is demonstrating is based upon the id. The ID is based upon the need to satisfy impulses and urges and is typically unconscious.

Tremors
I chose to focus on Mohammad Ali because his diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease. I utilized Power Point and Google Images to choose the images related to the biological factors impacting on Mohammad Ali. The brain was used to illustrate how Parkinson’s impacts on the brain and the nerves in the brain. I chose a boxing glove to represent the punches that could have resulted into a traumatic brain injury, which could have contributed to his development of Parkinson’s. I chose hands to represent tremors. A wheel chair to represent his inability to walk due to the tremors giving him an unsteady gate. I also chose words to represent the other symptoms that are associated with Parkinson’s Disease. The Theoretical Perspective that I chose to represent my project is Social Constructionist. This perspective describes how people construction make meaning out of the world through others. At the height of his career he was seen as the “greatest alive.” Now that he has Parkinson’s and his memory is impaired, I wonder whether he still views his world in this way.
