Second person

As a young child, my grandfather told me there are two types of people in the world: those who live life in black and white, and those who live in the gray area. While life in black and white is very straight-forward, to the point, and consistent the gray area is the place to be. Though it may be viewed as wishy-washy and inconsistent, the gray area provides consideration of extenuating circumstances. The gray area is where compassion, understanding, and kindness thrive. So it would only make…

conversations in your direction. Lonely. This is a sad reality most us have faced once or twice in our lives. But it doesn't have to be so sad and dark. Everyone is talented and unique in their own ways. Just because one person is ¨different¨ doesnt mean their not a great person. Everyone's different one way or another. Our differences are our strengths because they make us unique. The uniqueness of our differences will help us in the future. In the article ¨Revenge of the Geeks¨, Alexandra…

would put myself in the identity foreclosure. This states that the identity if foreclosed until the individual picks where they want to be in their life. I picked this one because of a few reasons. One, I’ve always been a bit of a go with the flow person. I figure out what it is I want to do for the time being and then when I’m ready for find something more for find something else it is that I’m interested in I go for it. Also when it comes to this I’ve been put in positions my whole life…

One is witnessing someone helping someone else, this can make you feel like if that person is doing it the right thing for you to do is the same thing. Another is being observant. Most of the time people that would help are not able to because they don't notice until it's too late. Or questionable situations can make it hard to tell if…

PERSONALITY Psychologists define personality as the reasonably stable patterns of emotions, motives, and behavior that distinguish on person from another. (Rathus, 2014) There are some theory perspectives on personality that give pause to the depth of each personality type. For instance, there are several theories of the psychodynamic perspective. This is also known as psychoanalytic theory. According to the work of Sigmund Freud, the psychodynamic perspective emphasizes unconscious…

What influences someone’s identity? Mental abilities, religious beliefs, and family are just a few examples of how people’s identity could be influenced. Different people are influenced by different things, and family is one of the most prominent contributors. The absence of family can negatively influence an individual’s identity. In the book Anthem, the main character Equality 7-2521 never had a family. He lived in such a society where mankind was taught to be alike, that everyone was his…

Many people have a variety of talents, interests, and an identity that makes them unique. My grandfather once told me, “You are what you want to become, do not let anyone change your way of being.” What he meant was that I should not let anyone change me for who I am not. One of my interests is Medicine, since I want to become an OB/GYN when I graduate. Some of my identities are that I am organized, creative, and a fast learner; people can totally tell. Some of my talents are multitasking, play…

Personality disorder is associated with personality traits of a person. Personality has been viewed as constant and rather unchanging especially by the Western cultures.

The people always think that there are no changes that have occurred to a person especially in terms of character. Personality disorder is considered…

I’ve been asked to describe myself. I always replied with the answers I assumed were “right” and “impressive”, words such as, outgoing, and intelligent, but those words don’t describe me. Words don’t describe me, actions do. You learn more about a person by observing how they act and what they participate in than they could ever try to explain. I was always the kid in class who finished all her work and excelled on all the tests. I was eventually labeled the nerd but I enjoyed being smart. I…

You see, the memories we have are the foundation, the wisdom we acquire makes up the house, and our passions give the house character. Likewise, you can never stop improving a house, just as you are never really finished reinventing yourself as a person either. Thus, the affair that helped me “build my house,” and construct my identity, was when I witnessed my father’s journey through entailing a major heart surgery. It was November 21, 2012, I was twelve years old, and my mother and I had…
