Ghosts of Rwanda
Well done so far on responding to the documentary with quotes, examples, etc. related to to social psychology - this is already a good example of how I'm hoping we can use this. FYI, from this link: Ghosts of Rwanda, you can also find a link to the full transcript on the PBS website which could help in completing the quotes, etc. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, you mentioned a wikipedia link - I was wondering which one - was it Rwandan Genocide? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Ghosts of Rwanda reflection
I read your reflection to Ghosts of Rwanda... A quote from a Hungarian writer came to my mind (unfortunately I forgot his name, so I just paraphrase it). It says: ''When they (Nazis) came for people from our street I didn't say nothing, when they came for my neighbor, I didn't say nothing. Now they came for me, and there is no one to say a word for me...'' --Gbaor 12:15, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * "After reading the Wikipedia link..." - do you know which link that was? Could you find it and add it? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added the quote Gbaor mentions to Bystander effect. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:54, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: speak our minds and thoughts
I think it is better to speak out, you feel better and will also surely search your environment regarding that. Who knows, perhaps you can also influence others with that behaviour ? Change (of society) doesn't happen from alone. Some must start, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 12:14, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Relationships
Hey D, Just read your entry re: relationships and how they tie in with mental illness. I think you've raised a really interesting point there. I work in mental health and there appears, in our society, to be a far more positive prognosis for people who have a strong support network around them then for people who have no one or who have isolated their loved ones due to their illness. I dont know if your aware but this weekend the Mental Health Foundation of the ACT is running the Festival of Belonging which is about just this. The festival is to give awareness that people living with a mental illness often feel isolated and disconnected from the community. This can be for many reasons, not the least of which feeling as though they don’t belong. Having a well-developed sense of belonging is essential to people’s mental health as social isolation is a leading cause of depression. Research also consistently shows that having a sense of connection to other people reduces the likelihood of suicide. Check out the link for more infoBryony 06:12, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
