Social Phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder,occurs when the anxiety that people feel becomes so persistent that it interferes with their daily lives. It is linked to other health problems such as depression, anxiety and drug abuse and studies show that it is more prevalent in teens who are 17-18 years old rather than teens who are 13-14 years old. A new study done on teens with this disorder has shown that it complicates the way they interact with others and their environment, but that treatments such as behavioral
therapy can cure it.
Depression, anxiety and drug abuses have shown a link to social phobia, but have not proven whether or not it is either a cause or an effect of the disorder, but it has shown that it impacts the way teens interact with the environment. Those who have this disorder have more difficulty in school, family and peer relationships. This type of behavior results in the lack of ability to interact with other people properly, and the outcomes could be vital to how the other person may not be able to work in a social environment. In this day and age, social interaction is critical for finding a job, even if it is a job that requires you to work in a cubicle or work from home, one still has to be interviewed for that job. This could affect the success or failure of one's life, and may lead to depression, drug abuse and other mental health disorders.
Behavioral therapy is a tactic that reinforces a positive outlook on social activities. The goal is to get one acquainted with his or her environment, and make him or her feel comfortable in getting out there. It is also a way to make one realize how their behavior affects their feelings. This can easily make those with social phobia have a normal life again.
Social phobia is a disorder most prevalent in teens, and can negatively impact the way they interact with their environment. However, behavioral therapy and antidepressants can cure this disorder and give teens a positive outlook on those that surround them.

what was good:
ReplyDeleteAgain you have good examples.
What needs improvement:
You need to actually cite this article.Tell us the author the website etc.
You also need to have specific examples from the text. Have exact quotes.
You seemed to follow a similar structure with this close reading assignment, so please refer to my comments for your other close reading assignment about cancer for general notes. Basically, you get the facts of the article down very well, but you probably should use some more specific quotes and explain these quotes, relate them to DIDLS, and then connect to effects of meanings. Did you find any clear bias in this piece?
ReplyDeletePros: Its a very well written summary.
ReplyDeleteCons: You're supposed to be writing about how the writer is creating tone/effect/meaning from the article not a persuasive essay on it.
I'm going to echo Claire and say that you need to site more specific examples on exactly what you're trying to say. Yes, this is a very good essay in response to an article but its not doing what Ms. Holmes asks us to.
