Two article summaries

http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/a/adult_attention-deficit_disorder.htm

This article was about AADD. We talked about ADD (attention Deficit disorder). This AADD is Adult attention Deficit disorder. They classified this as adults who have trouble getting work done, procrastination, or disorganized. They gave the statistic that this exists in about 2-4% of adults. Differing from childern symptoms the adults could show inattentive toward their childern, restlessness, and learning/emotional problems. One of the most promonate signs of AADD is acting with out thought. I picked this article because I too have ADD and I always wondered if you could have it in adulthood or if you learn how to be attentive.


http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/a/aggression.htm

This article is about aggression. This refers to the behavior that is intended to cause him or herself pain. They talk about how aggression can either be physical or verbal. One thing I found interesting is that behavior that is a accident but causes pain is not called aggression. They ask why do people hurt themselves or attempt to hurt others. they mention that the hypothalumus can cause aggression when electrically stimulated. I thought this was interesting that because of a part in your body you can become aggressive. I picked this article because i find it interesting when something can just set someone off on a tangent.
