    Outline: Learning to be Depressed Martin Seligman is a behavioral psychologist who hypothesized that the way people view power and control is learned from previous experiences. He proposed that those who fail at controlling their own life stop attempting to exercise any control of their own altogether. After repeated attempts of control and repeated failures, people start to attribute these failures to a lack of control and generalize lack of control to all situations, even if those situations are controllable. This feeling of lack of control turns into helplessness and becomes depression.…

    Dostoevsky: Raskolnikov

    Dostoevsky’s protagonist also struggles with his own faith, seemingly using atheism as another disguise and further reasoning for his argument that his crime was justified. However, we see that Raskolnikov only flirts with the idea that a God may not exist as a result of his disillusionment with the distribution of hardship. Dostoevsky creates characters all around Raskolnikov who face great hardships of varied degrees and kinds. For example, “Sonia is kind-hearted but pushed into whoredom by her social and economic condition. Marmeladov, an otherwise civil clerk, because of misfortune is pushed from bad to worse as he ends up in self-inflicted suffering” (Uwasomba 145).…

    Nature and nurture are the very essential building elements of an individual’s character. A controversial, yet often recognizable concept that some people are born more intelligent, charismatic, loving or even on the dark side. The effect of one’s upbringing, surrounding environment and the influence of certain events, neither anticipated nor facilitated by the individual are also significant. In order to make such an observation of character, I will be concentrating on the sons of Fyodor Karamazov in The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The moral stance of the four sons ranges from Alyosha, who is said to be good by nature and Smerdyakov, the one who murdered his father without a shred of guilt.…
