In Outliers, Gladwell conjectures why a few people have achievement path outside of measurable standards. These factual exceptions, accomplish at levels considerably higher than ordinary effective people do. One could state that Gladwell really alludes to his contention in the subtitle of his book. As indicated by his hypothesis of progress, it is the story encompassing a person that decides achievement considerably more so than a person's drive, knowledge or other individual attributes over…

In the article written by Karen Goodnough (2001) “Multiple intelligences theory: A framework for personalizing science curricula” it spoke about multiple intelligence (MI) theory and Dave’s experience. At the beginning of the article is discussed the (MI) theory, first proposed in the book, Frame of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner, in this book he addressed how people have different type of intelligence or methods of learning, such intelligence was categorized…

At the beginning of Lucky’s Dream I never imagined where this book would have taken us over these past twelve weeks or so. I couldn’t have predicted the journey that lead four such uniquely different people to build a bond that bloomed into the most inspiring of friendships. From the beginning, Odysea and Jimmy had a one-of-a-kind friendship that slowly strengthened as their journey continued. It was their relationship, in my opinion that allowed for them to open their arms, minds and, more…

In the future, there is a potential world in which anyone could invest in a greater level of intelligence. Artificially increased intelligence could change one’s life, being a great technological advantage for some and a great shortcoming for others. Earl Hunt, the Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Washington and President of the International Society for Research, has found that there is a possibility of “tweak[ing]” the brain 's mechanisms to increase intelligence…

The impact of heredity and environment is indeed undeniable and the two are significantly intertwined. The development of the emotional characteristics depends on the influence of the environment, but the physical genetic manifestations such as color of skin, eye color, height, etc. are maintained. The emotional characteristics for the most determine the shaping of the individuals’ disposition and character. As expressed by Collins et al., “Estimating the effects of heredity versus…

1. Intelligence relates to the way one naturally learns, reasons, problem solves and uses wisdom. Wisdom being when and where to use the knowledge you have. Intelligence is measured by the capacity at which one can do the things listed prior. Intelligence is cognitive behavior. This concept can be explained by looking at the IQ test, they aren’t test, it measures our experiences and knowledge and problem solving. So, if an IQ test measures intelligence then this is what intelligence can be…

Nature versus Nurture has been one of the major controversies in all of time. Whether inherited genes or environmental influences can affect one’s personality, behavior, development intelligence, and ability. While nature is mainly characterized by physical attributes inherited from generation to generation, nurture is mainly in control of a person’s character and manner. Either Adam, the monster, could have been born with his savage ways or he could have acquired these ways from society. Nature…

Pink’s theory also relates to other motivation theories such as Abraham Maslow’s theory of “Hierarchy of Needs”. This “Hierarchy of Needs” is a pyramid broken up into eight levels. Maslow explains that to reach a certain level in the pyramid, all levels below it must be satisfied. If at any time a level becomes deficient, then “the individual will act to remove the deficiency”. Also, those eight levels are gathered together into three separate groupings. These three groupings show numerous…

In 1983, Howard Gardner established the Multiple Intelligences Theory (Armstrong, 2013). In his theory, Gardner, who was a Harvard University professor at the time, suggested that the once believed three categories which indicated ways that people learned, was too limited (Armstrong, 2013 & “Howard Gardner’s Theory,” n.d.). Based on a number of I.Q. tests, Gardner established eight aspects of intelligences which consist of Visual-Spatial, Bodily-kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal,…

1.One of the most commonly espoused answers to “Yali’s Question” is that there is a biological difference among different groups of people, or that Europeans are just superior to other races. Jared Diamond proves this wrong by stating that human differences in intelligence is caused by the difference in technology, that on average modern day people who live in the “Stone Age” are probably more intelligent than industrialized people. Another common answer to “Yali’s Question” is that Europeans…
