Sensory Deprivation

In this documentary I learned the theme of sensory deprivation which refers to the action in were a human being is cut off one or more of hi/her senses. In the documentary we saw how scientists cut off some of the people’s senses and experimented their changes by subjecting them to a mental test before and after the experiment was conducted. I think this experiment was very shocking and interesting as it made me realize that leaving someone without a sense can really affect them and could and it is a way to torture people around the world. I personally now believe that the senses are very important to a human as it is the way he/she relates to hi/her environment and for one to lose them will affect them greatly especially if the individual had it before, the experiment proved my thinking as the individuals had a hard time during the experiment and the results they received after the experiment were lower than the ones they had at the beginning. In conclusion depriving someone of their senses is a very serious and awful thing to do as it affects the individual greatly and tortures him/her as they loose way to relate with their environment which finally affects the brain greatly.
