Chapter 3:
As I read more and more chapters I realize how, different Lauren Slater is. She describes a lot using imagery. Her writing does not seem to exhibit much of a scientific feel to it. Rosenhans experiment was interesting to say the least. Unfortunately, it was not exactly official. All we have to go on are his testimonies. The fact that he stayed in the institute and could not get out does scare me however. It worries me that someone could easily be placed in a psychiatric ward.
Chapter 4:
This chapter is another interesting one. This one points towards help. In this chapter, a woman is slowly killed while people witnessed. Despite her cries for help, no one helped. It's interesting to think how I have come across similar situations. Most people are slow to give out help. Partly because they assume no personal responsibility. Some people believe that someone else will help. All the same time, they are thinking that this poor person needs help, so someone should do it. Unfortunately, no one does in some cases, including the murder victim discussed in this chapter.
