My topic is about how our memories affect our personalities and make us who we are today. In order to do this, I need to find if there are any studies that were done along these lines. I hope to find connections between the types of things people remember and how that affects them. So far I’ve found a few articles that talk about traumatic experiences and how those experiences affected the person for the rest of their lives. An example of this would be post traumatic stress disorder. This is seen a lot in soldiers coming back from war. They have memories of the horrible things they saw and had to do and these memories stayed with him. These memories changed the way they behave and acted once they came back. I also hope to find information about any new technology or drugs that are related to memory. When I was trying to figure out what my topic should be, I did some research online and came across a few places that talked about drugs that could help you lose certain memories. This would relate to what the Dollhouse is doing to the dolls and how they erase memories. I don’t think I’ll be able to find lots of sources though since it’s a very narrow topic. But hopefully I’ll be able to find enough to be able to write the paper.
