The personality theory that I am utilizing is the evolutionary personality psychology theory. According to Funder (2015), evolutionary psychology endeavors to describe behavioral repetitions by means of evaluating in what way they might have supported and fostered survival and reproduction in previous generations. Depression is something that might have arose due to its survival worth. Depression that trails failure is more frequently typified by weariness, cynicism, embarrassment and remorse…

Throughout the course of this semester, we have gone to great lengths in order to shift our perspective of France away from the preconceived notions we may have held when coming into this class. As evidenced by the clips we saw from the old television series, I Love Lucy, someone who reduces France into a set of stereotypes will find themselves hard-pressed to fully acclimate to their surroundings, and blend in with the culture. France is more than just the stereotypes people consolidate it as.…

They also came up with a result that women are more satisfied with their jobs more than the male population and married women reported higher job satisfaction. We can observe that most married women are more stable on their jobs because they tend to find a job that would meet their expectations or a job that would last long for them. They have also gathered information which would mean that in managerial positions, they have higher job satisfaction compared to the ones in non-managerial position…

“Activities, therefore, that have a high possibility of creating social interactions are likely to produce some emotional feeling like joy and contentment” (Stumbo & Peterson, 2004, p. 199). Joy and positive feelings are inherent with social games because even if one does not win they are still enjoying the company of friends or competitive nature of UNO. There is a great deal of opportunity to express…

is worth it for love. He wrote, “Like to the lark arises at daybreak it sings and flies. It delivers its song to “heaven's gate”( Shakespeare 1). Here is saying that he arose from the “sullen”, dark, earth and flew away to the gates of bliss and contentment because of the love that was given to him. More importantly, Shakespeare uses the comparison of himself to a king to show how even the memory of love is worth all the pain in the world. In the lines “For thy sweet love remembered such wealth…

Everyone experiences pain differently; some can’t handle pain well as others can. Even though many people experience different kinds of pain, like grief, a heartache, sadness, etc. Everyone copes with pain in their own way. Emily Dickinson’s explains how after awhile you suffer through pain; pain eventually passes by. The languages she uses to communicate with her readers are mysterious or undefined. Emily Dickinson’s gives her readers of a better understanding when dealing with pain. She…

Not being involved in your child’s life is next to impossible, but there is a way not to become a hovering helicopter parent. Dr. Gilboa offers this advice: "As parents, we have a very difficult job. We need to keep one eye on our children now--their stressors, strengths, emotions--and one eye on the adults we are trying to raise. Getting them from here to there involves some suffering, for our kids as well as for us" (Bayless 10). In realistic terms this means letting your children struggle,…

30976487 The Oracle of Cougar Creek It was the sun reflecting off the huge blade, in the small clearing ahead, that first caught my attention. The forest path meandered along side the creek and had gradually widened until it framed an incredibly wrinkled old man. He had a large chunk of wood standing as high and wide as himself in front of him, coming to life with every knife slash. The fluidity of his movements bespoke decades of practice and made me stop in wonder. Although the…

Determining the Price of Individuality Sometimes ignorance truly is not bliss. Both 1984 by Charles Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley are clear indicators-though executed in severely opposing ways- of how individuality is worth dying to save. These two novels reveal at its close that losing your individuality is a fate worse than death. Conforming to the mold of society dissipates original thought, leading to loss of individuality which stems from intelligence. This submission, which…

I wish I could say I was in the presence of amicability. Surrounded by the bustling sound of mirthful laughter and jovial smiles as though I was in a crowded tavern full of knights and bandits putting aside their radical differences to a night of ale and companionship, however, the truth is far less festive. I was alone, at lunch, in high school, just like every other day. It’s not that I necessarily wasn’t popular (however my unkempt hairstyle might beg to differ), it’s simply I preferred the…
