The reason why I say our behavior is our biggest impact in our identity is because if someone is mean and harmful you could automatically say that that person has a negative identity. Although some may argue that gender is the biggest identity on a person’s identity. It’s actually one’s environment because people learn behavior from watching others. Also people have natural desire to fit into their surroundings. Then there are people that follow how their friends behave. My first…
“It’s not what you are that is holding you back. It’s what you think you are not.” -Anonymous. In the book “Coconut”, the girls in the story, Ofilwe and Filkile are both colored people who didn’t fit in with the society and who also had low -self esteem. They felt like since they were black they weren’t good enough. They wanted to fit in with everybody. They wanted to feel important like everyone else. They wanted to change their appearance. Fikile was the most changeable person, who hated the…
theories that fit this observation are; Jean Piaget theory of cognitive development in which, “Children adapt to the environment via assimilation to existing mental structures by accommodating to these structures.” The second theory would be Erik Erikson, his theory is about psychosocial development, “Which emphasizes…
by fitting in it means being like everyone else or the “wrong” way being an individual but being looked at different. Is it a good idea to alter yourself to fit in? No. Changing yourself is leaving your principles just to fit into a group of people that you will probably not see in the next five years. I disagree with changing yourself to fit in because we are all individuals and have the right of freedom and expression. Individualism the habit or principle of being independent and…
important, in my head, I believed that no one should break up and end something so beautiful. I didn’t have a passion for that kind of job. I thought it was a way I could help people seeing the brighter side of things. Problems happen in relationships, but you should not depart from each other over little things. I finally realized that job I wanted to do had to do with a be social to people. I did research about what kind of employment a relationship therapist leads to, and it was Social…
child, sitting on the couch, all day, everyday. Eddie will grow lonely and do the same thing everyday. Then, if he does meet a friend, he won’t know how to be nice and go right back down to sitting. Edward will have no choice but eventually become obese and not be physically fit. But, if the child plays sports after school, he will become physically fit, have better sportsmanship and his grades will improve their grades. Although sports can cause injury, concussions or make students have the…
Personally experiencing a full up-front version of virtual reality with you immersed inside as the star player, is the 'in-thing' in modern digital technology right now. Immersing yourself in 3-D 'what if' scenarios, ideally of your own creation - the early versions of the ultimate in Star Trek holodeck simulations - is the name of the virtual reality game. Of course you already experience virtual reality 24/7/52. Anything and everything you experience is courtesy of your sensory apparatus, your…
“As you grow older, you will discover you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” I chose this quote because the story I picked “Red Roses” is perfect for this quote because it is talking about a girl who was mean to a person but she apologized. My essay is going to be a story that I can relate to or someone I know can relate to. My first relation to this story is to fit in with everybody. The reason I picked this is that I have been moving around a lot which…
way that you think could actually change so much about how you work. I know that we all learn and think differently but I have been taught that nobody has a bad way of thinking. But this made me realize that when we stop and really think sometimes there can be a bad type of thinking not bad as in you don’t get a result but bad as in the type of result you get. It was hard for me to barely just get past the different types of thinkers before I started thinking back to the people I know and the…
Everyone and everything whether they know it or not play a role in society. Though some roles might be much greater than others we all have a part to play. But sometimes finding your place isn’t always that easy, and it can come with a lot of pain and adversity. In J.D Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye, we as readers are put in the shoes of a character who is indeed struggling to find his role and many people can relate to him. Finding your place in society can be difficult but if that path is…
