(“Learning about and from Others' Prudence, Impatience or Laziness: The Computational Bases of Attitude Alignment.” page 2).

To start, Melissa is exceedingly lazy. In addition, she is a unclean person. Lastly, Melissa is excessively messy.
To begin, Melissa is exceedingly lazy. Melissa has been lazy her whole life, even since she was a little girl. To start, Melissa procrastinates in everything that she does. Getting ready for an appointment or simply buying a birthday present for a friend can be a challenge for her. Being on time for an event is never an option for here. Even when she is told the time an hour ahead, she still manages to be more than fashionably late. Not only that, Melissa loves to sit around and watch television for the majority of the

Out of all the traits of being an obnoxious slob, this trait is superior to them all. First of all, Melissa has a tendency to clutter everything that she owns. Any object that has been given to her, she will keep in her room or any other place she claims. Melissa’s bedroom has a box that is filled with her school papers from two years ago, as if she will ever need them again. She collects all of the boxes for her shoes and saves every shoe box she has owned. Unless the boxes rip or break, she believes that there is no reason to throw them out. Furthermore, Melissa is unorganized with her responsibility. Melissa is never on time when it comes to paying her one and only bill. It is understandable if a person has more than one bill and at times forget when it is due, but Melissa has only one bill. There is no excuse to be late on the only bill that she

    The most incredible characteristic of a sociopath is their complete absence of empathy, lack of conscience, remorse, guilt or shame. Sociopaths are like chameleons, they can easily depict real remorse but the picture they show outside has little similarity to the reality that is going on behind the screen, their reality is well hidden, and only known by the sociopaths themselves. “Depending on the authorities quoted, sociopaths may constitute up to 35 percent of the prison population and are responsible for as much as 80 to 90 percent of all crimes” ("NCJRS Abstract - National Criminal Justice Reference Service"). Consequently, for these people who do not give a care what others think of them, just a simple public shaming may not be a complete…

    Amanda Perring carefully stepped off the bright yellow school bus onto the clean, asphalt driveway leading to her parent’s garage. Her house was a classic, one story suburb on the outskirts of Los Angeles, located in middle class neighborhood where no one had to worry about money but there wasn't much extra to spend. Her mother and father were both respected doctors and were almost never home when Amanda was. Every day on the bus, she would sit at the very back with no one else, completely silent the entire way home, most often reading a book. When she had first moved to her new school a few years ago, Amanda had been the easiest kid to pick on with her high grades and care about school.…

    In addition to integrating personal experiences into the full picture of an individual’s psychology, it was helpful to incorporate self psychology theory in order to further understand Melissa. Self psychology focuses on the development of the cohesive self through interactions with selfobjects, which may be a person, various forms of art, or other symbols. Selfobjects validate and attune to the individual (Flanagan, 2011). According to Kohut, there are three poles of the self: the grandiose self, the idealized parental imago, and twinship (Flanagan, 2011). As mentioned previously, Melissa spoke about her experience as the person considered different in her family.…

    It is the early bird that catches the worm as to the people that receives that short end of the stick. In today’s society, laziness is an unfavorable trait to most people, but some say different. American Essayist Christopher Morley crafted an essay titled “On Laziness,” with in the essay Morley uses diction, contradiction, and ethos to displays his purpose and enlighten the audience with a new perspective on laziness. His easily noticeable purpose could be to show the audience that they should be more willing to become more indolent. But, the deeper purpose that Morley displayed is that once a person has worked and involved themselves enough they finally deserve to impose an epiphany of why they are creating these problems in their life.…

    Conscientiousness people are highly efficient and organized. They also exhibit a tendency to be neat, systematic and to prefer planned activities rather than spontaneous activities. These individuals are generally hard-working and reliable. When taken to an extreme, they may also be "workaholics", perfectionists, and compulsive in their behaviour. People who score low on conscientiousness tend to be more laid back, less goal-oriented, and less driven by success and they also are more likely to engage in antisocial and criminal behaviour…
