Soldiers diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (Ptsd) are often labeled in the minds of Americans as dangerous and unstable. Ptsd though has no relation to violence by itself, but id is often connected to such things as substance abuse or head trauma which can cause this. Thus Ptsd often leads, or is the last straw of an already violent personality that causes the violence that we have so readily seen. Returning soldiers need help adjusting to life, otherwise Ptsd can, has and will continue to cause problems.
Good information. The only thing is that i couldn't really follow along. It was hard for me to read the entire paragraph.
ReplyDeleteTo add to what I said above, I really liked how you addressed to society. You were taking a stereotype and addressing it. You said a lot of us tend to relate PTSD to violence. It is sometimes related to head trauma. I never knew that before. I thought it always had to do with violence. I really enjoyed reading this because it was short and to the point. I would just suggest that you really nail what you want to get across to the audience so they know what they need to to looking for.
