Research Paper on Schizophrenia

Research Paper on Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a well known emotional and mental disorder that causes hallucinations, paranoid and delusional behaviour. In contrary to many other diseases, schizophrenia is mostly affected and caused by external environment.

One of good examples of the movies that raise the question of schizophrenia is â€Å"A Beautiful Mind†. In this research paper I would like to raise some of the ethical issues, related to the propaganda of mental diseases and schizophrenia in cinematography. In the scale of this research I would like to analyse possible negative effects of exploitation of the topic in mass media and movies and receive the reaction of the population in this respect. People, suffering from schizophrenia, are very sensitive to the destruction of their imaginative reality. Any intervention in their comfort zone can cause further complications. As a result of this research, we expect to get detailed analysis and multi-angle view on the â€Å"commercialization† of schizophrenia in the cinematography and drive specific conclusions for further academic and practical reference. We do not target to drive â€Å"yes† or â€Å"no† conclusion, neither do we
