hi dear how r u i hopethat you are fine and i am also with you that is right
Solitary is available on Hulu.com if you would like to examine the show for yourself. As a psychology student I am fascinated by the show, but I am also deeply disturbed by it. I can’t believe the kind of entertainment featured in dystopian stories has made it into reality. I hope that the show employs psychologists to give contestants exit interviews and counseling, not just to come up with the torture.
That reality show of pushing people to the edge sounds like what’s to come in The OCD project.
In the episode summery in my dvr it said about sticking people in an adbandoned mental hospital for their fieldtrip to give them exposure?
That seems over the top.

I wouldn’t like the idea of being experimented on like a rat in an electrified maze and watched.
That seems like repeating what the Nazi doctors did and the U.S cia did secretly did that I read about.
Or like that electricty torture that psycologists did to prove something about obeying.
From the show you mentioned and the OCD project where it’s headed sickens me.
People can be observed by a psycologist without this t.v intrusion and without circus acts.
This is just what I feel from being a caring sensitive person and I’m not prideful about that.
