The field of psychology can be used to positively change the world by diving in what rape is and what can it do to effect the mind and physically do to the person. The field of psychology can do multiple things such as learning about the way the body is after the rape, the way it can be prevented or alerted, and way to help those individuals, like myself, talk about what had happen. I wish for my social justice vision that it was stopped and no one suffer this way but unfortunately we don’t live in a world where no one is safe, that it can happen to anyone at anytime. Which makes me want to alert people and to make sure that people understand why it’s important to talk about this.
People that are survivors of sexual assault can have many symptoms such as Self Harm, Depression, Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder, Flashbacks, and Substance abuse. Many of these way affect the mind and damaging it from being what it was, such as Substance abuse. Reasons for the substance abuse is trying to forget about the past, to be able to feel no pain at all and to not think about it at all. Self Harm, by causing self conflicting on oneself to feel no pain, to be angry at yourself. Self- harm “doesn’t always mean suicide” but it is a sign that the person is trying to forget about the pain or just trying to be in control. PTSD is more likely to happen to people who have been in the military but it can happen to anyone that’s been in a situation where it cause trauma to oneself and this causes “flashbacks, changing a person's behavior when it comes to the topic of it.
Ways to help those who have been victims of rape, to be able to open up to them and talk about what happen to themselves. Reasons being is that if a person is able to tell someone about what had happen it would make them feel better about themselves that they have someone to have and to build confidence to be able to open up. Being able to help them and push them to do things survivors don’t usually do, to be able to have them forget about what had happen or make them do activities that they find fun and are able to reduce the amount of trauma. Having groups to have classes or just way to cause alertness to everyone. The fact that it happens to those who are taken advantage, most likely to children, is sad to realize it but that’s why ways to prevent and to have the child the talk about things early to be more comfortable to the parents that no one has ever tried to touch them or to do anything to them. And if it did happen, the child is most likely to be able to tell the parents because of the fact that they'll learn that what the person did isn’t okay, and they’ll tell their own parents, not keeping it a secret.
The field of psychology is important to humanity is that it helps us better understand and reduce the damages that people face. And helps us better understand what actually happens to those who have been affected and ways to help motivate them to move on to what had happen or if they can’t move on, we can help those who suffer from it as well. Major takeaways that I’ve required that I do deal with flashbacks and blaming myself for what had happen. I thought it was my fault and that was the one that cause all of this but this help me realize that it can happen to anyone and the fault is the person causing the pain. That they’re the one that are the fault no matter what. Also, to learn about the symptoms and ways to help reduce rape.
