Ambivalence Defined
Contradictory feelings about an object, person or action, emotion, idea, situation, etc. .
AMBULATION - to walk.
AMNESIA - lack of memory about events occurring during a particular period of time.
ANEURYSM - a balloon-like deformity in the wall of a blood vessel. The wall weakens as the balloon grows larger, and may eventually burst, causing a hemorrhage.
ANGER - is a very basic human emotion. It plays an important role in the way we communicate with others. It communicates strong feelings of displeasure and rage. Generally speaking, the word "anger" expresses the emotion but does not necessarily convey intensity, justification, and "form" of the anger.
ANOMIA - inability to recall names of objects. Persons with this problem often can speak fluently but have to use other words to describe familiar objects.
ANOSMIA - loss of the sense of smell. SYN: anodmia
ANOXIA - a lack of oxygen. Cells of the brain need oxygen to stay alive. When blood flow to the brain is reduced or when oxygen in the blood is too low, brain cells are damaged.
ANTERIOR - front.
ANTEROGRADE AMNESIA - inability to consolidate information about ongoing events. Difficulty forming new memories. Shrot- term annesia.
ANTERO-LATERAL - front and to the side.
ANTERO-POSTERIOR - gront and to the back.
ANTIBODY - a protein produced by the immune system to attack bacteria, viruses or other invading disease producing agents. Each antibody has a molecular structure that exactly fits the structure of each foreign body (antigen) like a key and a lock. Antibodies are carried in the blood. It is also common to add antibodies to treat specific disease antigens if we lack immunities to them (vaccination).
ANTICONVULSANT - meditation used to decrease the possibility of a seizure (e.g., Dilantin, Phenobarbital, Mysoline, Tegrtol).
ANTIDEPRESSANT - a drug prescribed to treat depression; standard tricyclic antidepressants include Tofranil, Imvate, Elavil, Norpramin, and Adapin. Side effects include some sedation, dry mouth, and visual problems. Another type of emotional problem often mistaken for depression is "emotional lability", which is characterized by, for example, sudden laughter changing to weeping.

- The WIP Contributors: Argentina?s Collective Memory:Challen ges in Accepting a Violent Past By Saskia van Alphen: from the page: "... Laura believes that her country's current situation requires a different political priority. "What happened during the seventies is of lesser importance at the moment.." When I ask Vera about it, she says, "Argentin a is a paradoxical society. People claim human rights while they are not willing to fight for them. They don't feel responsible, reasoning that the whole country is corrupt...&quo t; ... Nora feels differently. "The destruction of my reference points made me the person I am now, a person with a new identity that feels responsible to show what is invisible to many..." Though the government is trying to create public discourse with the installation of the Space for Memory and Judgements for Truth, Vera foresees a long process. "... the first years of military domination, the middle class lived very well... Afterwards, one's [ambivalence] might have been hard to accept..." ; She also recognizes the same stubborn tendencies in the dictatorship 039;s victims...&quo t;
