Telepathic Communication
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper seeking theoretical support for the
existence of telepathy and then evidence of its existence. Some experience telepathic
events but rarely if ever speak of the event, fully convinced they have been involved in
telepathic communication. Still others seek to research it, separate reality from wishful
thinking and give credence to its existence. The mechanism of telepathy remain unclear,
and of course others are adamant that it does not even exist. Those who claim to have
had direct and personal experience with telepathic communications remain absolutely
convinced that telepathy is very real. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

The Case Against the Existence of ESP
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper refuting the claims of parapsychology researchers. The paper acknowledges that there are indeed occurrences that we cannot understand based on the knowledge that we now have, but maintains that our own lack of knowledge is far from sufficient reason to conclude the existence of ESP. Many phenomena that were unexplainable in years past have since been shown to be attributable to natural laws, and there is little reason to conclude that there are no more natural laws left to discover. Explanation for the unexplainable may well come at a later date. For now, no psychic research has been shown to be duplicatable, a prime rule of scientific investigation. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Effects Of Distant Intentionality On Self-Esteem, Depression And Anxiety In Emotionally Disturbed Adolescents Attending A School Of Special Education
[ send me this paper ]
17 pages in length. To impose circumstantial evidence upon the scientific community as a means by which to prove the existence of something is much the same as trying to convince a skeptic that ghosts are a reality: it only evokes immediate rejection. Such is the case with Distant Intentionality and its role within the controlled environment of emotionally disturbed adolescents attending a school of special education. Asserting that a 'person can intentionally influence another person's autonomous activity from a distance (i.e. both persons are in different rooms, and the influenced person does not know of the presence of the influencing person)' (Gamma, 2000, p. 14), Distant Intentionality looks beyond the stringent scope of scientifically proven approaches to suggest that the mind is more powerful in addressing psychological circumstances than any tried and true scientific process. Bibliography lists 25 sources.

The Importance of Treatment of ADHD in Children in Regards to Lessening the Likelihood of Future Criminal Behavior and Substance Abuse
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the importance of early intervention and treatment consisting of medication and therapy in children with ADHD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects an estimated 3-7% of school children and overall it has been estimated that in the U.S. alone, 8 to 15 million Americans suffer from ADD. ADHD in children is described by physician Stephen J. Gislason as a term which refers to “restless, distractible children who have a knack for disrupting order at home and at school” who are prone to “poor impulse control, often display abrupt mood swings, have inappropriate anger, and sometimes are violent”. While children who have ADHD may suffer from inattention or poor memory, most have “average or above intelligence”. In many cases, children who have ADHD may improve with age but just as many children are considered “permanently handicapped by a combination of poor achievement, low self-esteem, antisocial behavior, and persisting problems of disorganized psychic energy” and it is considered “likely that juvenile delinquency and, later, criminal adaptations and often substance abuse are linked to the ADHD complex.
