    The Role Of Narcissism In Homosexuality

    Narcissism is defined as extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one 's own talents and a craving for admiration, as characterizing a personality type (Carlson et al, 2011). People with the traits of a narcissist might consider themselves different or unique as well as superior to or better than others. They uphold this grandiose self-concept both internally, by fantasizing about fame, power or love, and externally, by defending the self against criticism, associating with high-status others, and seeking admiration and attention (Campbell et al, 2002). Some researchers may define it as some level of social dysfunction, including an exaggerated sense of self-importance and aggressive behaviour (Lavner et al, 2015).…

    Identity's Theory Of Personal Identity

    People have always been interested in the idea of finding out about personal identity, what makes you the same person as you were when you were five and what will make you the same person when you are eighty. Derek Parfit summed up this idea by saying “Whatever happens between now and any future time, either I shall still exist, or I shall not. Any future experience will either be my experience, or it will not.” (Parfit- 186), which is what personal identity looks into. This essay will discuss whether personal identity is a matter of physical or psychological continuity, taking into account the famous ideas of philosophers such as John Locke, Derek Parfit and Bernard Williams.…

    Social Media Narcissism

    Narcissists are great at being chameleons. They are known for being smart, confident, and articulate, and usually very charming when we first get to know them. Oftentimes they are obnoxious, and love themselves anyway…at least outwardly. More striking — and more surprising — they were aware that people who knew them well did not have quite the same high opinion of them. They acknowledged that those people would indeed see them as self-absorbed and disagreeable.…

    Theme Of Mental Illness In One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

    One expert in the subject of psychopathy offers a full explanation of its biological basis. It is suggested that amygdala dysfunction is a key neural system that is associated with psychopathy (Blair et al., 1999). Neuroimaging studies have confirmed this. Further, there is evidence the frontal cortex could be dysfunctional (Soderstrom et al., 2000). They found that “psychopathy was associated with an increased ratio between the dopamine metabolite HVA and the serotonin metabolite 5-HIAA.…
