Open Mind

street. “What are you doing?” “What do you mean?” He’s finding humor in the situation. Great. “I don’t want a lawyer when I go into court. The whole point is that the judicial system and the public will be so betrayed that they’ll have made up their minds by the trial! I want to be convicted, remember?” “What exactly are the charges?” I groan, my head in my hands. He didn’t even check before blundering in? Or is he just playing games? Does he have an actual plan? I sit up and take a breath to…

and images trigger our thoughts and emotions. We create worlds within our mind when we feel both negative and positive feelings. Sometimes, we don’t have to feel anything to become lost in our thoughts. To be honest, I would fall in and out of my thoughts as if I walked into another room without knowing. For example, if I were to listen to some slow sad music my mind will create a scenario no wait, it’ll be more like my mind would create the climax of a movie scene where the main protagonist…

characters she is surrounded by, and Montag sees this as soon as he meets her. She is open, aware, and full of life, and through their conversations the reader recognizes her as the foil to Mildred, Montag's cold, conforming spouse. As he continues talking to her, he learns that she is driven by a love for the beauty she sees around her and curiosity to see more of it. Conversing with Clarisse opens Montag's mind more than anything else had, and when she asks him to try something strange such as…

While contemplating my fourth journal, thoughts of how this multiculturalism class has addressed my effectiveness as a future counselor with culturally diverse clients remain in the forefront of my mind. By tackling issues such as microagressions in a clinical setting and their impact on a client and the effects of class bound values in today’s conventional models of counseling, I am able to reflect on my self-awareness and personal growth. My development is evident as I analyze my existing…

Boaler’s class was definitely life changing for me. Before completing this course I always hated math and would always say I was very bad at it. This course made me realize to be more open minded when it comes to math and subjects I dislike. This course taught me that anyone can achieve their goals as long as we set our mind to it. I liked how this course used real life examples of how math is used in the real world. I liked this because I always thought that the math I would learn in school I…

Whether it is religion or personal preference, people like to have their opinions. People often force their opinion on others and think they should have the same opinions because they think their opinion is “fact.” Some people do not have an open mind to listen to or accept that others can have their own views on things. I had a terrible experience once where a normal jog around the neighbor turned into a heated argument. This story takes place in my hometown of Cheraw, SC. Cheraw is one of…

to bring out the true potential within. I came home checked the mail since I had been doing this for weeks now and I saw 5 letters. They were letters from school letting me know if I was accepted into Magnet/I.B. programs for high school. Keep in mind I only really cared about Campbell I.B. program. As I opened the first one I read to find out it was a rejection letter. I was disappointed, but I kept going and I opened more letters, both saying…

Perspective, Humanistic Perspective, and Social Cognitive Perspective. The psychoanalytical theory of personality was conducted by Sigmund Freud. This theory emphasized the influence of unconscious mind on behavior and three elements of the human mind; the id, ego, and superego. The unconscious mind is a stockpile of feelings, thoughts, desires, and memories that are outside of a person’s conscious awareness. Most of the contents of the unconscious are feelings…

The most refreshing thing about being on this planet is that not one person will be the same as you. Each individual is born with there own genetics, with the exclusion of identical twins, and every person has a mind of their own. Things such as your behavior, your outlook on life, your personality, and your mental process, everyone is different. The reasoning on how we know everyone is different is because of scientists who devoted their time into studying the science of behavior and the…

Advertising is everywhere. Advertisements follow us at every location and manipulate our minds to believe the product is reliable, trustworthy, irresistible, and sensual. In recent decades advertisements have progressively become erotic and have appealed to our natural desires for relationships than to the need for the product itself. It is not uncommon to see a perfume advertisement with a naked woman holding her breasts, a denim commercial with a man and woman making love, or a fast food ad…
