How do you define "sanity"? Try with 250+ words. To me, sanity is something you have or lose or don’t have at all. Sanity is something that I have at the beginning of the day in my daily life every day when I have sanity my day goes really good and I feel like I am in one of my best dreams and nothing gets me mad and I take it easy. Generally, those days are when I have nothing that makes me feel stressed like work or school and my life. Those two things are the biggest things that can get me stressed and worried. When I have those days that I have no sanity my personality totally changes and I feel that I am a completely different person that does not care about anything or anyone. After a long day of school homework, and more homework and no time to finish it and knowing that I have to work after and I need to get my things done and I have not time to do it stress me out and when I do not know how to do I feel impotent that I do not know how to do it. At work when people ask me questions and I don’t understand what they are looking for and they give me a bad look or somethings say rude things to me because I didn’t understand that starts to get me mad to myself because I do not know the language and start to stress me out and in my job they always give “me” department the “biggest” the department to finish I have in mind that I have to get it done and people all around questions and somethings I do not and think about homework test and quiz and school. I just lost my sanity. After a long day and stress out for things in my life, I always try to stay calm and fight the insanity and stay sane at any time. In conclusion, Sanity can make you do things that you never thought that you were going to do in your life and some people can have control over it some don’t. I try everyday to stay sane to be good as a person.

I think sanity is different for each person. But the government has decided to put a limit of where they think we are sane or not. Even the most insane person can see themselves as a sane person. The only thing that isn't making sane is if they cant fit in with sasitys rules and laws. They can’t really measure someone's sanity they can only take a guess that is why some people end up in mental institutes for no reason. I think that there is no way to truly measure someone's sanity because they try to measure it off of one person's mental health and think all others will be like that. It is none of you bisnes of what i think about sanity. What are you a cop or a psychologist. But ya who was the person that they based sanity off of? They can’t just judged every persons sanity off of that one thing. What makes the experts experts its all based on the one thing that sinity can be measured witch it cant it is something that changes every day from month to year. Are sanity can change though out are expertises thought out are lives we could “ become more insane or less insane every second”. They can’t prove how say a person is it is all based on are sustiys norms and what they think is normil. You can’t prove anything its not you problem you arn’t my mom. I’m just really bored. The end

"The only normal people you know are the ones you don't know very well." —Alfred Adler
Sanity is described as the ability to think and behave in a normal and rational manner which is meaning mental health which is basically the movie. The movie is about a mental institution and people being in there that has a mental problem and they get electroshock therapy if they are doing something really bad like Mr.Mac got twice in the movie because he was being bad and having bad behavior. Sanity is also described as having balance and common sense, wisdom. What sanity means to me is that you have something that means a lot to you and something has happened to it and you have sanity for that because it means a lot to you. People have sanity in their everyday life and in different ways so you don’t need to be rude to them if they have sanity cause everyone is different in their own ways so you don’t need to judge by the first time you see them because you don’t know what they have been through. Some people might have sanity like they have a mental problem and some people are not very bright and you don’t need to be mean to them. Also, some people are born with a mental problem and they had no choice to have it or not have it. It was just born with it. Finally, sanity is actually pretty sad because they can’t help if they have it or not and it is pretty sad that people make fun of them because they have it and pick on them.

What is my definition of sanity? When I think of sanity I think of the words respect and well behaved. Sanity can mean different things by the places you are too, such as if you are at a movie you’re not going to talk and be disruptive you are going to watch the movie. If you are at a sporting event it is different because it’s ok to yell and be a little rowdy but there are certain expectations that come with the word sanity. The quote that is attached to the to the blog post says a lot and you kinda got to think about it. I really think that this applies to my life because once you get to know me im really energetic and crazy but if you just talk to me every once in a while like at school im calmer and controlled because that’s how I’ve been trained to act. That’s it though we are all trained to act in certain ways depending on where we are.

The definition of sanity is the ability to think and behave in a normal and rational manner; sound mental health. I think that this movie we watched gives us a really good example. Mcmurphy I think personaly he is sain but he decides to act out alot. Also I think that most of the other people that where there needed to be there because they had real mental problems that they could not controllol. I think this was a great movie to watch because it showed me that there are people that actuly struggle with mental probelms and it made me more aware of it. It also stood out to me that mcmurfy took all of them fishing and how much they where enjoying it I think it was way better theropy then they where at the mental hospital.

How do you define sanity? I think of sanity as mental health. The quote “The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well.” by Alfred Adler. I don’t agree with this quote at all. I think this quote is not true and I don’t agree with it. I don’t agree with it because I think everyone has some sort of weirdness to them. It also really depends on how you define normal because to you normal might mean this while someone else might think normal is something different than the way you think of it as. Everyone has some sort of sanity with them in some way I think. It depends on the way you think of sanity because someone else might think of it differently than you do and they might not agree with you on the way you think of it as. Some people might think that something someone did is normal but to someone else, they might not think it is normal so it really depends on how you think of it and how you or someone else defines it. Sanity could also mean good and not always bad and sometimes you might do something for a good cause even if it is a little sanity like what Mc Murthy did in the movie when he was trying to get Chef out of the mental hospital because Chef does not belong there.

Sanity I think is being able to be make rational decisions and choices. Sanity is a very hard word to define I feel like when I think sanity I think not psychotic but thats all I can thing. I feel like sanity everyone is not 100% sane I feel like everyone has a lil but of crazy in them so its super hard to define this. I feel like sanitys is being able to think normal and behave normal but then whats normal how do we describe it.

How do you define sanity? There are many ways to define sanity I think. Sanity is not just being the typical sane definition to be in the typical right mind. Everyone is different so somoens normal can be another person’s insane. Being insane is just being different you are not listening to all the rules and you are not doing what everyone else is doing you are going on your own and doing what you think is right and the sane people which are the ones that do everything the exact same and they are the people that dink doing things different are insane put the “insane” people in mental hospitals. The “sane” people think that putting their version of “insane” people in mental hospitals and they think that will fix them and make them sane and listen and be normal and do everything the same but doing that will just make them crazy and constantly upset because they eventually dont know whats going on and they are stuck in the mental hospitals because people think they are crazy when they are just different. I think there should be a new way to help take care of the “insane” people and not try and change their ways.

To me, sanity is something you have, you lose or don't have at all. Sanity is something that you can get at the beginning of your daily every day. When you have sanity you have a good day and also you are in the best mood that you can be with no stress and worries. When you lose your sanity you don't have a good day because you are upset or sad with school work, personal life, work or physical activities that you might participate in. When you have sanity you have a good and happy day without nothing bothering it also the only thing you can think is the good times that you have spent with your loved ones and times that you will remember for the rest of your life. When you lose your sanity you can't control what you're doing when you get mad at someone or something. There are days that you can't control what you do if someone pushes you. For example every single day my sister makes me mad and pushes my buttons to do something to her but every single time I try not to look at her because if I see her I get really upset. Whenever she tries to push my buttons I just open songs or movies in my phone and just listen to that when I do that she always gets mad but I say I don't care.

How much structure & discipline is needed/best? Why? Where? Answer with 200+ words.

How much structure & discipline is needed/best? Why? Where? Answer with 200+ words. I feel like discipline is needed it help parent keep control of their children if someone disbehave it helps the children by teach them about life and how not to do bad thing when a person do something bad and they get caught there will be contagious or discipline it help them so they do not do the wrong thing and it teach how to be a successful person. Discipline is not a bad thing it doesn't mean they want to hurt you they just want to teach you how to do the right thing. Some people who get discipline feel like their parents or guardians don't love them anymore and they could get into their feelings. I'm not sure what structure means but when I search it up it is said relations between the parts or elements of something complex. So I think it is the difference between good or bad. But there should be rule about discipline

To me when I think of sanity I think that people are born with it and sometimes they are not when people are not born with it they won’t be able to gain it and when people are born with it, they could lose it and never have it back again. Another thing that comes to mind when I think about sanity is that when you have sanity you are able to live at an apartment, house or home and you can make decisions for yourself and not needing someone to take care of you or make decisions for you but if you don’t have sanity you are not able to make decisions for yourself in your life and you will always need help with everyday things and you would be put in a place where you will have no social interaction with anyone and with sanity, you will be treated the exact opposite because then you could actually defend yourself in situations but you won’t be able to if you don’t have sanity. That quote from Alfred Adler is true because the people who you never talk to or don’t know anything about are usually the ones who are the normal ones and it happens in everyday life because you may talk to someone that you don’t know much about but after a few weeks of having conversations with that person you realize that out of everyone you know that person who you just started talking is the most normal out of most of the people.

Sanity is hard for me to define as sanity is something that we came up with and who knows what sanity actually is but for me, it means the composition on for how you hold yourself together before you hurt someone and for me, sanity is what I'm usually on the verge on sanity is something we made to show what people's mindset would be in and for us is to set a "normal " state of mind as it's hard to study what truly happens in our heads and sanity is pushed forward for us as humane for us not to hurt others or not to have snapped and gone crazy for me sanity is the self-control of our emotions so we can say we're sane as we push forward.

I think that sanity to me means that it is or can be the ability to think or raise someone in the public manner. I think this explains that like the guy who became brain dead in the end had this ability. He was a very nice person because he took care of his friends and made sure they all had friends and were all included in everything. He tried to take care of everyone even when the nurses kept threatening to punish him. The government has recently put a limit on where we can and can’t define somebody as sanity. I think he did that because he does not want people getting away with crimes if they seriously knew right from wrong in the situation. I think the quote at the end of this post was kinda meaningful. Because you never know when or what is going to happen. Sometimes if you sit down and work with others it will make things easier because you will get to know who they actually are and the importance of them. Sometimes you can not just sit there and judge people until you get to know who they actually are. This topic for sure relates to the movie because the nurse never took the time to get to know who they actually are and what they like to do. Instead she came to work everyday and judged them and taught classes then went home at night. She never even tried to do what they love.

With the quote from Alfred Alder, "The only normal people you know are the ones you don't know very well." It gives me an interest in how other people view me. For instance, my friends look at me like who I have been for most of my life, the usual parent of the group, the one who just keeps everyone in line when we are out in public and everyone in our groups have gotten used to it and seems to like it. I know mainly because most kids in this school who see me call me (daddy Haas) and this has just become normal for all of us, but if you add in someone new they just look at us weird and we would have to explain why we do that. For that, they would think that we were insane.

I think that sanity is a part of who we are as humans because there are many different types of word sanity. One meaning is insane, Insane means to me is that you don’t know what is going on around you or around the world. Another meaning is sane which means that you know what is going on and wants to help all over the world and wants to know who wins something or how they can help someone that is in need like someone is homeless or a child is missing and wants to help and looking around their community and help the police or anyone that could help you help someone else. People can lose their sanity in many ways like if they are brain dead or if they go completely insane and everything they do someone has to take care of that situation and try to solve what is going on and why they are doing that and acting in that way. I like this quote from Alfred Adler: "The only normal people you know are the ones you don't know very well." . I think this quote tells a lot about someone and how they can change into a really nice person to a mean and aggravated person that wants to kill you and wants to do everything that they have to hurt you and your family and your other friends. They turn into something that they don’t want to be and don’t want to hurt people but they think that is what needs to be done and wants to do what they do best.
