As my senior project I have decided I would like to work with post war syndrome. Mainly because I find the particular subject the most interesting, due to the fact that I’m given the chance to focus on psychology as well. Why is it that so many soldiers are affected with post war syndrome due to experiences during war?
The after affect of war and the personal struggle so many soldiers go trough after war is something that has been kept concealed for a long time. Post war syndrome is something I believe have not gotten nearly enough attention, because the actual war has been the main focus.
In the Valley og Elah - A film generally about post war syndrome, and how some people react to it.
[Still working on this...]
It is an interesting topic and I'm sure you will be able to narrow it down a little and make a good thesis for the project. Look forward to reading it.
SvarSlettHi! This is a pretty cool topic, and one that I also did some stuff on when I had this course. "Post war syndrome" isn't a very good name for it, though. I use post-traumatic stress disorder, as you can get it without going to war, and researching this term will be much easier. Most periods have given it their own name.
SvarSlettLast year I wrote a tiny thing on my old blog about it, it's here: http://bawwwww.blogspot.com/2008/10/on-ptsd-among-troops.html
Not very good though. I think I have a PowerPoint-presentation lying around somewhere. Drop me a message on Facebook if you're interested in it.
Good luck, I'm looking forward to the update.
This is an exciting topic Amanda :) Good luck :P
SvarSlettI like your topic for your senior project. It is interesting to see what the effects of war actually can do to a human being. Good Luck, Amanda!
