The Internal Working Model is carried on throughout a person’s life and works as a cognitive framework of rational illustrations that aids in the understanding of our environment, the self, and our interaction with other people. In addition, it contains personal memories and expectations that actively guides a person’s social behavior (Bretherton, & Munholland, 1999), which are manifested through our thoughts and behaviors associated with closeness to others, when seeking support, and the ensuing sense of “safety and security” (Bowlby, 1988). Adults are continuously influenced by their initial infant-caregiver attachment bond in forming social intimate relationships, this type of attachment is now what we formally call as the “Adult Attachment…

Remembering Dr. Wilburn Rainey Wilburn (Wilbur) Rainey grew-up in the Romance community where folks still talk about Wilbur’s dedication to his parents; Frank and Mary Rainey. While the other boys played, Wilbur attended to his blind father. Wherever Mr. Frank wandered, Wilbur strolled along holding his father’s hand and guiding his footsteps. I suppose only God knows how many times Wilbur led his father home, in the dark, from an evening church service as Mrs. Mary walked before them holding a lantern to light the way. Such was Wilbur’s life during his formative years and he wouldn’t have had it any other way.…
Prior to reading Gary Keller’s The ONE Thing, I was a victim. Uneducated and submerged by society’s common ignorance, I had the wrong perspective and mindset towards my professional life, and even my personal life. Overthinking things and stressing out over so many things as I went about my daily life in a “balanced”, “necessary” manner, I lacked the insight of where the source of true value comes from. However, now informed and therefore better equipped to change these ways, thanks to Gary Keller, I have been introduced to knowledge that can serve as a foundation for greater opportunity. Rather than going about whatever it is that I might do with a wide range of focuses, I instead have the perspective of finding one, narrowed focus, taking…
In our daily lives we have events, distractions, or daily activities that affect our attitudes. These events can and do create stress. George and Jones write, “What happens to employees off the job can affect their attitudes, behaviors, and performance on the job as well as their own well-being.” (p. 252). This essay will discuss major and minor life events and how they are a source of personal stress.…

In the film “Regarding Henry”, Henry is a successful lawyer in New York and one night he gets shot in the head and suffers brain injury. The movie follows Henry’s recovery from the gunshot as he relearns how to function as an adult and struggles to remember things from before. After getting shot, Henry experiences a transition from Id to Superego. Before he was shot, his behavior was selfish and instinctive, and after he was shot his behavior showed more morals and was overly ethical. I think Henry’s natural state is the Superego because after he was shot he didn’t have any past memories or outside influences and it revealed his moral side.…
Seeing even the most disciplined and non-violent form of protest as an intolerable affront against long-established modes of racial contact, Lawson’s dismissal from Vanderbilt, was a strategy that whites time and again applied in an effort to keep the social order as it was. Lawson, as others before him was constructed as an outsider who came to Nashville to instigate an otherwise content black populace. Owing to the fact that few of the earlier protesters had a discernible political agenda, their actions have often been simplistically subsumed under the frame of assimilationist activism aiming to liberate the black middle-classes from the burden of racial stigma, while leaving the problems of the lower classes largely unaddressed. However,…
To outline certain particular parts of human conduct, a clinician by the name of Sigmund Freud exemplified his three sections of what he accepted to be the primary segments of identity through portraying the id, sense of self, and superego. To talk in clear terms, id is the repository of instinctual and natural inclinations. Self image is the "truth rule", and superego is the wellspring of "good guideline" that depends on the wellspring of still, small voice that represses the socially undesirable driving forces of the id. That being stated, we can see these three sections of the identity in Mike Nichols' film Regarding Henry. All through Regarding Henry, the primary character Henry Turner manages two unmistakable parts of his identity—id and…

What I have noticed and seen is that if you want to advance your life personally or professionally, you must hold yourself accountable for your actions, responsibilities, and goals; because when you hold yourself accountable to doing the things you know you should do, you will distinguish yourself from the…
Life is full of things that occupy our time on a daily basis and most days’ life can hit and be awfully hard to overcome. However, life is not meant to be that way. Everyone should not always be occupied with things to do because it can overlap and cause huge burdens. In the story, “Bumping Into Mr. Ravioli” by Adam Gopnik, it shows how his three-year-old daughter Olivia has an imaginary friend named Charlie Ravioli. It turns out that Olivia never gets to play or see her imaginary friend because he is always on the go and this causes Gopnik to pay close attention towards her.…
There are approximately 7 billion individuals on this planet—7 billion different identities, all of us with a unique personality that is reflective of our own life experiences. Every human being in this world is unique and each individual has different ways in which they learn. There are seven specific learning styles that we as society are meant to fit into: visual, aural, verbal, physical, logical, social and solitary. And although it 's to be believed that we should fit into one particular category, I believe that every individual likely falls into each learning style listed above, some categories more than others. This is what makes me, me and makes you, you, which in turn allows us to be our own person, slightly differing from everyone else.…
