The Trouble with Adolescence According to The Merriam Webster Dictionary, adolescence is defined as: the state or process of growing up, the period of life from puberty to maturity terminating legally at the age of majority, and A stage of development (as of language or culture) prior to maturity. Dr. David Walsh says, “Probably the best way to describe adolescence is to say that it begins at puberty and ends…sometime.” Walsh’s description implies that the mark for the end of adolescence is a…

Trouble in Paradise: The Effects of Mortality Salience on the Willingness to Repair Troubled Close Relationships among Older Adults Laura Carstensen once said, “When we recognize that we don’t have all the time in the world, we see our priorities more clearly”. According to terror management theory (TMT; Greenberg, Pyszczynski, & Solomon, 1986), many social behaviors and motivations are sculpted by the awareness that death is inevitable. An impressive body of research indicates that…

with God. Job empathically states, “ Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble” (Job 14:1 ESV). “Man born of woman” is a poetic way of saying “everyone.” The term Man translates Hebrew ’aDam and refers to humankind, or everyone. Man’s few days are troublesome. The Hebrew for trouble reflects the same word rōgěz rendered “turmoil” in 3:17, 26. The verb form of the noun translated “trouble” means “tremble/quake” as in an earthquake. It also describes persons trembling…

not created specifically to wrench aesthetic or moral feelings from their observers, which is they do not qualify as artworks (Boundless 2015, 1). Although this is a subject up for grabs, especially since “art” has a myriad of definitions. In “The Trouble with (the Term) Art” Carolyn Dean seeks to provide a starting conversation as to how art has been defined along European minds, judgements, perspectives and rationales. The assumption here is that in that case the art community might be able…

An additional source that I used for my research was a YouTube video called “The Trouble with the Electoral College” by a channel called “CGP Grey” and was published on November 7th 2011. This source gave me insight into the background of the electoral system in addition to the disadvantages of the electoral college. The video was extremely beneficial as it provided me with insightful information regarding the issue, while also being easily accessed and simple to understand. However, as…

Let me share why I believe that Gladwell chose to write “The Trouble with Geniuses.” I think he wanted to inspire readers to alter their perception of how they categorize the general public based only on their IQ and to “urge others to seek out seek out greatness” in people around that are not from riches and wealth. As well as to share his understanding of his definition of success and how he reached his conclusions. Of course, Gladwell backs up his information with credible sources. The…

While indulging in a binge watching weekend I spotted one of my all-time favorite films. Recently placed on Amazon prime Trouble with the Curve starring Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams. There are so many reasons why I love this movie. First and foremost it is the romance aspect, being that I am truly a romantic at heart, I can never pass up a romantic comedy. The second reason is that it’s a movie about baseball. I love a good baseball game and how could I pass up a baseball movie with some good…

Carolyn Dean’s article “The Trouble with (the Term) Art” emphasizes the ambiguous nature of the word “art,” especially in regards to ancient and non-Western cultures whose religious and mythological traditions are often embedded in the aesthetics of everyday objects, blurring the line between representational beauty and utility (Dean 2006: 25-32). The Codex Borgia can be seen as one such example of this phenomenon. The Borgia likely originated from the Valley of Puebla, namely the cities of…

them, all while upholding a standard for themselves, as well. By gaining some form of consistency, boys will gradually become more independent of the popular thing to do, and more dependent on what is morally correct. By comparing Skidelsky’s “The Trouble with Boys” with Tony Porter’s Ted Talk titled, “A Call to Men”, this cycle of no role models and disrespect is identified with Porter’s real-life examples of violence and further exemplified through professional descriptions via Skidelsky.…

The Trouble with Diversity: Racial, Ethnic and Cultural Identity The study of diversity is widely exploited in political circuits in United States of America. Engaged from the presidential and ministerial speeches, it fits into their arguments without assessing the distortions that such a sequence suppose. Diversity is not a paradigm of equality. On this point, Walter Benn Michaels’s in his essay “The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality” allows to grasp…
