self-centered, superficial, and ungrateful. First, Mama Johnson is a humble woman. She states: “I am a large, big boned woman with rough, man-working hands” (Walker, pp. 489).

I travel the St. Louis-Boston air route on an almost weekly basis. At times Boston Transportation Security Administration (TSA) stops me. Every time I am being stopped, I end up exhausted, confused and even a bit shaky. As I get prepared to cross the TSA security checkpoint the rush starts. I tend to feel somehow naked.

described as "abnormal and misbegotten" (Stevenson 76-77). He is young, small in stature with an ape-like face sporting a "swart growth of hair" over the "dusky pallor" of his skin tone (Stevenson 93). Perhaps more terrifying, he displays attributes of narcissism and hysteria (Stevenson 78). In order to “fit” into society as Dr. Jekyll does, Hyde must try to blend in; however, he is an evil soul and soon cannot contain himself. When Hyde assaults a girl, the family and witnesses demand…

In the article “CEO Narcissism and the Takeover Process”, the authors noticed that the narcissism could explain the CEOs’ reactions on the takeover process better. Since narcissism is a complete personality trait that could describe the CEOs cognitive skills and behavior better. And the characteristics of narcissists, manipulative and lacking in empathy, could affect the merger negotiations (Nihat Aktas, Eric de Bodt, Helen Bollaert, Richard Roll, 2012).
