Firm Based ArgumentMonique Williams
English 100 March 23, 2017 Prof. Sabatino Mangini M. Night Shyamalan’s Sixth Sense Is it deviant behavior to believe in ghosts? “Believing in ghosts is not deviant behavior because it should not be labeled as abnormal.” Believing in ghosts should not be considered deviant, more than half of the population believes in them. It comes with religion, superstition, and also believing in monsters. When cole says “I see dead people” he is basically putting his secret out there to the one person that he trusts who is also a ghost. Believing in ghosts should not be considered taboo because the people who actually believe in them feel as though they’re excluded from everyday life. They are ridiculed and called fools because “believing in ghosts is something only a child would believe in” but what about fortune tellers and clairvoyants? People who claim to see ghosts usually see them in abandoned buildings, castles, forests, and usually when they are grieving and want to see their loved ones. It is seen as a phenomenon in the psychology world. So why can’t we see this as a phenomenon? Why do we feel the need to alienate those who see ghosts? Because we don’t like the idea that someone is different. Cole already feels different and when he finds a confidant in Dr.Crowe it is like a feeling of relief for him. When someone believes in ghosts they are not looking for attention they are looking for acceptance in society. During the movie a patient is found in Dr.Crowe's bathroom, Crowe realizes that he is a previous patient one that he could not help. While Crowe is trying to calm him down the patient starts yelling and screaming saying that Crowe failed him. Crowe thinks back to him and the patient and realizes that he is talking about the many times that the patient told him that he saw dead people. He thought the patient was joking with him and was not being serious and also was a liar so he dropped the case because he realized that he could not help him. The patient jumps towards Crowe and stabs him and then kills himself. This would not have happened if Crowe believed the patient in the first place instead of not believing him. Dr.Crowe does not believe Cole because he had a similar case with this previous patient, and he felt that he failed him when he made the decision to drop Coles case he started listening to old tapings of his previous patient and realized that when the patient was left alone he could hear an older person pleading in Spanish to help him. So he starts to believe Cole he starts to help him and listen to him and in doing so he hopes to redeem himself. After a while he notices that his wife is not talking to him, his co workers are not listening to him, basically no one is paying him any attention. Dr.Crowe took on Cole's case which was the same case as his previous patient. Even though he had doubts about it he still worked hard to help Cole with his illness for Cole’s sake and for his own, he wanted to gain the respect of his colleagues and the respect of his wife back and if that meant that he had to start believing in ghosts then that is what he was going to have to do. During the end of the movie he realizes that he is the one thing that he thought was unbelievable, he was a ghost. So in conclusion I do not believe that believing in ghosts is a deviant act, simply because there is no reason for it to be. Believing in ghosts is not something to be afraid of but something that should be accepted. It should be studied and should also be a part of everyday life because people who experience this sort of thing experience this sometimes every day. They should find people who are understanding of their ability and who will not judge them for it. People who are interested in knowing about this kind of thing should come together as a support system for those who experience this. People like Cole are never trusting around other people because of the fact that they once told someone and they were ridiculed or laughed at. But if more people were like Dr.Crowe and actually stopped and listened to these people then they would all feel a sense of togetherness. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/out-the-ooze/201507/why-some-people-see-ghosts-and-other-presences http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167404/plotsummary?ref_=tt_stry_pl

I actually really enjoyed this movie for many reasons. Matt Damon is one of my all time favorite movie actors. I think he was the perfect person to play the role as Jason Bourne. The emotion and attitude of the Jason Bourne character was caught in all the right places. The story line wasn’t too fast or slow. The movie showed the growth of each character and it also the persistence of the government agents that are after Jason Bourne. It got into detail of where Marie and Jason ended up and I liked the fact that Jason had someone to trust and be there for him other than himself and the typically best friend agent that usauly betrays the main character in the end. Quotes : It's not a mistake. They don't make mistakes. They don't do random. There's always an objective. Always a target.
