Unearthing The Reasons That Attract People Towards Horror Films

Monsters and murderers have a special place in our minds or at least in the subconscious or else why would people like horror movies? From the earliest days of films during the 1930s, Dracula and Frankenstein have thrilled the audience for years, and its craze never seems to fade despite new dark characters making a strong appearance in numerous horror movies. It will not be wrong to say that they are the mainstay of cinema. Typically, a horror film must have enough ingredients to scare people so much that they would become numb with fright. Think about films like The Exorcist, Silence of the Lambs, Psycho and a Nightmare on Elm Street, and you know what it means. But horror films will not only make your skin crawl and scare your socks off but in the process will also teach you a thing or two about the human condition.

The hallmark of a horror movie

The presence of a monster as a central character of the film is the most striking trait of horror films. The monster can be a true one like the shark in Jaws or the aliens in Alien that defies the earthly norms and violates the laws of nature and has a threatening appearance in some way wither size, shape or form. But monster does not necessarily mean some animal or lesser human because even human characters can behave like monsters as seen in films like Psycho, Halloween, and Silence of the Lambs. But surely, there must be something monstrous to make it a horror film.

Why horror attracts people

Humans have a beast within that remains hidden under the thin veneer of civility. The monster within us enjoys the mayhem unleashed by the monster on the screen even though there is apparent disapproval of the activities. The monstrous traits within us not only endorses the on-screen monster but also feels like doing the same if the situation permits. But everyone does not take side with the monster because of many roots for the protagonist who fights the monster and does not endorse its actions although they find it captivating and enjoyable. Monstrous entities, serial killers, and psychotics have always fascinated us, and the attraction seems endless.

The thrill of fear

In addition to the psychological reasons that draw people towards horror films, the thrill that fear offers is another compelling reason why people love such films. Some people are sensation seekers who never want to miss anything that sets the adrenaline gushing and soak in spine chilling fear to derive the much-wanted sensation that makes the hair stand on end. Simply said, people who get a kick from fear would never miss an opportunity to enjoy horror films.

Thrills derived from films are very pleasurable as it does not pose any real threat to us. Watching horror films generate certain strong feelings but without suffering the consequences that heighten the enjoyment of the sensation. Fear can often become a bonding factor as it drives people close to one another when they watch horror films.

Behavior Therapy, Before Medications for ADHD

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is also known as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder ). The official name which is used by people and doctors are ADHD. People suffering from ADHD cannot pay their attention to just one thing. They cannot keep their minds on just one important thing. They are always in the state of being distracted. Their minds do not focus on the thing and keep on jumping from one thing to another. People suffering from ADHD do not like to wait in lines, they get impatient very fast.

Example: Person starts to do homework, then indulge in playing with toys and forgets about doing the homework.

It is estimated that 1 in every 20 people is suffering from ADHD. ADHD is not only confined to adults- kids and teens also have an equal chance of getting ADHD. People of every walk of life can suffer from ADHD such as factory workers, doctors, office workers, lawyers, athletes, teachers, etc. Thomas Edison who invented the movie camera, record players, and the light bulb had ADHD.

Kids who suffer from ADHD are conscientious, diligent, and hyper. They cannot sit still for long, they feel fidgety or antsy. Sitting still is hard for them, they get bored if they have to do one work and sit still in one place. Moving from one place to another and time to time makes them feel better. The kid with ADHD is hard to slow down. The body and mind of the kid are very active and parent or teacher is always yelling at a kid to sit in one place and do all the work. On the other hand, some kids with ADHD are not hyper at all, they just have a hard time paying attention.

Treatment of ADHD

ADHD can be easily treated and managed. There are many treatment options. People who take part in the treatment process are therapists, healthcare providers like Health2Delivery, coaches, family members, and teachers.

The treatment options for ADHA are:

Behavior therapy
Medications
School accommodations and interventions

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for the children of age 6 and above recommends behavior therapy and medications. Before medications are prescribed, it is preferable to go for behavioral therapy.

Behavior Therapy, Including Training for Parents

The important part of the treatment of children with ADHD is behavior therapy. ADHD affects the relationship of children with other children and family. ADHD also affects the child’s ability to concentrate and pay attention. Children with ADHD show behaviors which are troublesome to others. Behavior therapy is done to minimize these behaviors. As soon as a diagnosis is made it is helpful to made behavior therapy right away. The main goals of behavior therapy is to introduce and strengthen positive behaviors. The problem and unwanted behaviors are eliminated. Behavior therapy includes parents as well as children. Teachers can also be trained to reduce problem behaviors in the classroom.

In behavior training of parents, parents adopt new skills to manage and guide their children’s behavior. Parents also strengthen their existing skills. Behavior therapy helps to strengthen the relationship between parents and children. It also helps to minimize the negative behavior of children. Different names for parent training in behavior therapy are behavior training for parents, parent training, behavioral parent training, and parent behavior therapy.

Behavior therapy in which children are involved includes children to learn new behaviors. Therapists help children to adopt new behaviors which do not cause problems. Therapists also help children express their feelings in ways which are not troublesome for them or other people.

Why behavior is suggested before medication

Behavior therapy helps parents to learn strategies to overcome ADHD in their children
Medications have side effects but therapy doesn’t

Medications

Medications are an effective way to overcome ADHD. They help children to cope up with ADHD. There are different types of ADHD medications:

Stimulants: They are the most widely used medication for ADHD. They are fast acting medications.

Nonstimulants: In 2003, they were approved for treatment. They do not work as fast as stimulants. Their effect last for 24 hours.

Different children react differently to medications. They respond in different ways. Doctors try different doses and medications for different children. In this matter, parents need to work with a doctor to find out the best medication for their children.

7 Tips for Planning a Cruise Vacation with Family

If you aren’t planning a summer trip that involves sinking your toes in the sand or sitting around a campfire, chances are you’re contemplating a family cruise. With elaborate shows, buzzing arcades, fun water parks and an abundance of innovative kids’ programs, cruises are an ideal option for families of all sizes, styles and budgets.

So, if you’ve decided to spend your holiday on deck, here are the best tips for planning a cruise vacation with your family:

1. Choose the right cruise for your you

When it comes to finding and securing the best cruise deal, the key is conducting plenty of research and relying on many sources. Start by consulting a variety of reputable cruise retailers and deal-focused sites, to get a sense of the current offers available and compare quotes. Don’t shy away from asking for additional discounts or special promotions available for families. Many kid-friendly cruises nowadays even offer “children sail free” packages, so be aware of special bargains and alerts when you start planning your cruise vacation.

2. Don’t compromise on cabin space

While you can manage to squeeze a family of four into a cabin, you need to realize that standard cabins are quite small and provide very little space for families to spread out. And even though cribs and play yards are available on most ships, they will inevitably take up the little space you do have. That is why the best idea might be to opt for a family mini-suite or even a family stateroom that will give you all the space and freedom you need.

3. Put your trust in a travel agent

Even if you’ve done the work and found a list of cruises that’s perfect for you, choosing an itinerary that satisfies the needs of all your family members can often present a challenge. To help you wade through hundreds of sailings and countless offers, seek the help of a reliable cruise specialist. They can steer you in the right direction and help you avoid paying a hefty sum for additional charges, such as booking fees, and they might even lend you their expertise throughout the decision-making process to help you get the best deal on your pre- and post-cruise transportation costs.

4. Prepare your documents in advance

If you are cruising abroad, it would be best to sort out your passports, as well as any necessary visas, well in advance, in order to avoid any potential problems along the way. In either case, it is essential to secure great cruise travel insurance, especially when traveling with your family, to ensure you are safe and protected, no matter what comes your way.

5. Pack light and smart

Since you’ll be spending most of your time in the water or by the pool deck, make sure to pack several swimsuits, especially if you’re traveling with kids, to ensure you always have a clean and dry one on hand. Beach cover-ups and lightweight shorts and T-shirts are your best friend, but don’t forget to pack some evening attire, as well as certain day outfits for on-board activities and excursions.

6. Don’t forget about entertainment

While you might want to use this vacation as an excuse to take a break from electronics, children tend to get bored very easily, even with so many entertainment options available on the cruise. That is why it’s crucial to pack some toys, as well as a tablet or even a laptop filled with movies and TV shows that will keep your kids busy and entertained.

7. The early bird catches the worm

When traveling with children, the best idea would be to arrive a day before your cruise. This will prevent a hectic and stressful day of rushing to get out of the airport or parking your car, getting to the port, checking in and going through security. Plenty of cruise port hotels offer promotions, such as ‘park and cruise’ deals for those who are driving or even free shuttle services to the port, which is another bonus of arriving a day early.

While it can often be a challenge to plan a cruise vacation with your family, the above-mentioned tips and tricks will ensure everything is smooth sailing on your next trip.
