There is a saying: “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” This means that people lack the ability to form judgments without using their own personal beliefs and experiences. Therefore, people have a difficult time fitting into an environment that has a set of beliefs that differ from their own. This is revealed in the two short stories “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. In “Young Goodman Brown,” Young Goodman Brown learns some…

Each person’s mind is made up of complex emotions, experiences, and processes. All of these elements of the human mind make up one’s personality.

Emotions are key to understanding ourselves. They are a shortcut to the layers of our personality, they help us navigate through reality, and even fill the cognitive gap between our conscious and subconscious minds.

Sonny’s success in rocketry is influenced heavily by the women in his life, those being Miss Riley, his mother, and Emily Sue. The…

introverted and shy when it comes to talking to and interacting with new people. While communicating with participants I noticed that I tend to shift my attention to other things after a while and my eye contact is lost.

I also learned that…

“We could be in an open relationship or we could be friends,” I said. We were standing in a stone circle where people could sit when it was nice outside. It didn’t seem like the kind of thing to sit for though. We could break up and then go back inside the student center to see our friends. “Let’s just be friends, I guess.” Matt didn’t look pleased to say the words, but ‘open relationship’ probably sounded worse in his head. I had messed up, but he didn’t need to know that if we were going to…
