Tendency

Experiences influenced by environment can greatly impact a person’s human development. In fact, only fifty percent of personality tendency was observed to be genetic in a 1994 study by observing the five-factor model of personality- extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness- in monozygotic and dizygotic twins (Bouchard, 1994). According to Erikson’s theory…

theory is concerned with the study of the process by which individuals draw up conclusions of causality in response to the outcomes or results they observe. The theory is based on Heider’s (cited in Martinko, 2002) notion that people have an inherent tendency to be naive psychologists and as a result attempt to determine the causes of events that are important to them. A wide array…

behavioral problems that they deal with. Such as drinking and smoking, and to have a difficult time adjusting to school, as far as academically achievement and in their view of school climate. Bullies begin to develop anti-social tendencies into adulthood. Bullies have a tendency of developing into delinquents by adulthood and are more likely to commit a crime rather than their peers who don't have a history of that kind of aggressive behavior.…

The popular view of juvenile delinquency has been shaped by taking a look at the rebellious behavior of males. The study of female crime has not been a case of much topic since male delinquents so significantly surpass female criminals. Unlike men, studies has shown females in the stereotype of frail, needy, and delicate creatures. The greatest physical contrasts amongst young ladies and young men don't show up until puberty. The participation of females with crime and the juvenile justice…

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter demonstrates that the antagonist, Roger Chillingworth, turned to various forms of revenge to exploit the sins of Dimmesdale, which suggests that people have a natural tendency to seek vengeance on others that have deceived them beyond forgiveness. Chillingworth’s world quickly became fixated on exposing the secret of Hester Prynne—a woman he used to love—and her prohibited lover, Arthur Dimmesdale, a minister who Hester secretly calls the father of her…

coined American Exceptionalism. The egotistic nature of America is destroying our international ties, even though our superpower status has the ability to keep us going. The power of the military industrial complex, in addition to our empirical tendencies are terrifying; for, all historic empires have collapsed sooner or later. I urge the American people to recognize the similarities between nation-building, democratic promotion, and empire building; for, the rhetoric of American politicians has…

statement, it was merely a tool intended to provide an approximation of neuroticism for tendencies I had already found in those tested. Based on the information, I could suggest that women are more likely to become neurotic or display neurotic tendencies. I could also suggest that American women have been conditioned culturally to feel more insecure and unworthy than men, therefore making them display more neurotic tendencies. In an essay about Culture and Neurosis by Karen Horney herself, she…

Upon arrival, Ralph and Roger both had very quiet personality traits. Roger “... kept to himself with an inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy.” Golding (22), while Ralph shared a similar tendency during his arrival: “His mouth was tight. He put back his hair very slowly... Forced his feet to move until they carried him out onto the neck of the land” (20). There is a small foreshadowing of Roger’s questionable outcome for his stay at the island in the way Goulding describes his “...inner…

In the more than two years of attending Luther College, I had never been to a Sunday morning church service in the Center for Faith and Life. In fact, I have attended very few church services in my life. As a child, I went on rare occasions with my family to my grandfather’s Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, and often felt intimidated during the experience. I can remember the time I accompanied my grandfather to a service on a day in which the congregation received communion. During communion, I…

means and ends, or cause and effect. In either case it is the judgment which is mistaken. The point was first made by Hume in a general way: A person may be affected with passion, by supposing a pain or pleasure to lie in an object, which has no tendency to produce either of these sensations, or which produces the contrary to what is imagined. A person may also take false measures for the attaining his end, and retard, by his foolish conduct, instead of forwarding the execution of any project .…
