...in some cases, “all”) of them. What I’m here to do is try to help you narrow down which girl you should go for. Not to be mean or picky, but it’s just sort of a guideline. How do I know which one to chase after? More often than not, each of these girls will be different, both in personality or lifestyle. Maybe from different cliques, different cultures, whatever, but I’ll try to go over what I can. Girl #1 - DGAF Chick This is sort of self explanatory… the DGAF girl doesn’t well… give a fxck. She likes to party, flirts a lot, and has fun being single. There’s a good chance that she drinks, hopefully no drugs, but she’s fun to be around. Usually hangs out with a lot of guys, so that could prove, um, “worrying.” The fact that she hangs out with all these dudes can mean that you’ll get jealous, A LOT, and that you’ll get sort of protective of her. The constant flirting also sends off a lot of mixed messages. Do not go for this girl.Chances are, you’ll be happy that it seems like she’s into you up until you find out she’s like that to almost every guy. You got played, son. Girl #2 - The Shy Girl The Shy Girl is usually really cutesy, and usually hangs out with a lot of other cutesy girls too. Probably a little awkward around guys, but in a good way. They’re usually really nice, and actually pretty sweet, so if you get them mad you know you did something wrong. To be honest, it’s kind of easy to tell whether or not she likes you, ‘cause she’ll probably...

...deceive us, just as we are deceitful to them. There are many degrees to lying, varying from little white lies, to blatant deception and perjury. The motives and desired outcomes of those who lie vary greatly from person to person, as well as the degree to which they lie. Most people would agree that there are times when it is acceptable to tell white lies or even a bigger lie for the greater good, if the truth is not something of importance. I will discuss several facets of deception. To start, I will describe several types of lies and give definitions and examples of them. Then, I will talk about some facts about the frequency at which we are deceptive on an average day, and situations in which we generally increase or decrease how deceptive we are. Next, I will discuss why lies are prevalent in relationships, and how deception creates friction in the workplace. After that, I will talk about how we deceive ourselves, and why, what motivates us to lie and then I will give some arguments about the possibility of detecting when someone is lying and if you can distinguish their lies from the truth. Lastly, I will discuss several disorders that may cause one to lie, whether it is purposefully or not, and how that can affect their life and the lives of those close to them. The...

...thinking? Language is learned so early that it is difficult to explain how it is managed. Some psycholinguists have proposed that language is learned by special genetically programmed procedures that are unique to language learning. Others contend that the general analytic capacity of the human brain is such that even complex language rules can be worked out without any innate knowledge or special language acquisition procedures. Regardless of which view is correct, experience with one’s native language must be critically important. Narrative skill differences are connected to the way that mothers converse with their children. If they use an elaborative style, engaging in lengthy discussions about children’s past experiences, providing lots of details, asking questions and encouraging children to provide details as well, their children’s narratives tend to be more adequate and informative. An interesting twist is that mothers who engage their children in this kind of high-quality narrative practice also have children who remember past events in their own lives better. In my opinion all this is true, I have 2 nieces one who is three years old and one who is two years old. My...

...As a future teacher it is very important to talk to people in this career field and find out just as much as I can about their profession. I chose to interview Mr. Vasile, a Math and Computer Science high school teacher in his late fifties. He is known and loved by everyone, students and teachers, as well. He has been teaching for more than 25 years and is familiar with everything and anything in the school. I chose to interview him because I know that I will be able to pickup and learn a lot from his professional experience. The interview took place during lunch at the school he teaches at and everything went just as smooth as I anticipated. I brought lunch for both of us and shared a unique hour of emotional talk. I had a list of questions planned out but in the end I realized that I did not need all of them and picked out the top important ones. I started out my interview with asking him why...

...Tell the police what happened. You don’t have to be scared. Just tell what your father did to you,” Robin shouted. “My dad didn’t do anything to me. It was that guy who intruded our house and beat my father up,” Anna told the police officer. “What are you talking about Anna? What are you thinking? I came to save you and that’s what you repay me,” Robin said while struggling with the officer. Robin is an only son of the big company. His parents sent him to America after the accident. He is a role model in one of the American’s college. He is good at sport such as America Football. He has a warmhearted personality. He loves to help other people. However, Robin lost his memories when he was 8. At 9 pm, one of Robin’s friends called him for help. Her name is Anna. Robin rushed to her house. He spent less than 5 minutes to go to Anna’s house. Her dad was beating her. Robin tried to stop the old man. The old man took his baseball bat and hit Robin’s head. He repeated his hitting skill on Robin. Robin was almost unconscious. Suddenly there was a gunshot. Police arrived and stopped the old man. They ask Anna who attacked her. Instead, Anna told lie that Robin intruded and her father saved her. Police led Robin to the police station while he was protesting the entire way. After police released Robin, he went home and met his secretary. “Young master? Are you in your right mind?” “I haven’t told your grandmother yet”, he added. “Leave me alone! I’m not going back to work in...

...led you to take on a certain role in the first place. Burnout reduces your productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing more to give. Most of us have days when we feel bored, overloaded, or unappreciated; when the dozen balls we keep in the air aren’t noticed, let alone rewarded; when dragging ourselves out of bed requires the determination of Hercules. If you feel like this most of the time, however, you may be flirting with burnout. You may be on the road to burnout if: Every day is a bad day. Caring about your work or home life seems like a total waste of energy. You’re exhausted all the time. The majority of your day is spent on tasks you find either mind-numbingly dull or overwhelming. You feel like nothing you do makes a difference or is appreciated. The negative effects of burnout spill over into every area of life—including your home and social life. Burnout can also cause long-term changes to your body that make you vulnerable to illnesses like colds and flu. Because of its many consequences, it’s important to deal with burnout right away.

...several of the personality tests and assessments, I was able to confirm what I already knew, but did gain some new insight into myself and why I am the way that I am, and that my personality can be great in some situations and very hard in other situations for people to deal with. I’m going to break it down according to the assignment assessment. 1.) What did the assessments tell me about myself? Attitude? Work? Behavior? Personality? Perception? Attitude: I’m sensible, the backbone of any group, and believe that work comes before play. This is truly me!! I’m the one that goes in early to work and stays late to make sure that things get done, and are done on time. People know that they can depend on me. I’m the person with sticky notes on my desk and computer, so that I remember that I need to do this at a certain time, or remind my boss of a particular appointment. They know they can count on me. Work: I’m a planner, well organized, and dependable. This too, fits me like a shoe! I’m the one that two weeks before a mass mailing will be ordering in extra labels, tape, and updating mailing lists. I like to have my envelopes ready, so that all I have to do is insert and tape. I look ahead and what is coming down the road and plan my work and time accordingly. Behavior: I learned that I’m punctual, responsible, energetic, ambitious, and I have a strong sense of right and wrong. This is me to a T! I hate it when people walk into work late, or show-up...

...I. Reflection on Personality, Human Development and the Self 1. Describe Personality From the class and the tests that I took, I can say that I’ve learned a lot about my personality. The Myers-Briggs test showed that I am intuitive when I gather information. This meant that I tend to focus more on the big picture. This explained why, ever since high school, I asked my teacher why we had to learn a certain topic and how we can use it in our everyday lives in the future. The test also showed that when making decisions, I tended to be a feeling type. This cleared up why when I had to make an important decision, like what course to take and where to study college, I consider how it will affect the people in my life (friends, family, etc.). As to how I approach life, the test showed that I perceiving nature than a judgemental one. This explained why I had little trouble adjusting from my city’s culture to Manila’s culture. Another test that I took, the Rotter’s locus of control scale, explained why I tended to rely on myself than hope that things will get better by itself; I had an internal locus of control. I always knew that I was a very lively and spontaneous person. Having energetic and extrovert friends, I can say my environment affected me a lot in terms of my personality. Although my parents are very serious people, I had not grown up to be the same. Since I am half-Chinese, half-Filipino, I had a sort-of...

...and Cons of being a young adult manager In the Retail Industry Presented To: Mr. Perry Barton Principle of Management MGMT 1100 By: Hillary D. Wooden Date: October 8, 2012 In the retail industry there are many different managers with different personalities. When you think of managers in the retail industry, you picture an older adult that has worked with the company for 20-30 years. Companies now have seen that having older adults is more of a liability than an asset. Having older adults as managers can have some pros but sometimes there are cons. After talking to different managers within my company, I have came to the conclusion that many companies are looking into hiring younger adults to fill their manager positions and younger workers to fill associates positions. After doing my research and talking to different managers within my company I have come up with different pros and cons of being a young adult manager in the retail industry. Pros of being a young adult manager in the retail industry are having good planning, leading, human, and technical skills. Cons of being a young adult manager in the retail industry are being less organized, less controlling, non-conceptual, and sometimes lacking motivation to manage skills. In the following paper I will be discussing in more detail the reasons for these pros and cons. One of the first pros of being a young adult...

...with everyone at work, which might happen if you work for a small company, and the work space consists of a small work force. What if you don’t like some one in your work place? or even if one feels that the time they spend with their colleagues is more then enough? It really depends on the person who is about to take the ultimate step in a relationship. One can invite everyone and just have to deal with those who are not to their liking, which will prevent any future resentments. One can invite just the ones they get along with, this with the notion that others will find out about the happening, and might result in future quarrels in the future. A politically correct approach can be taken by not inviting their co-workers to the wedding using the expenses as an excuse. As a person that has never worked in an office environment, and hasn’t even pondered on the idea of getting engaged, it is hard to considered the approach that I would take. Based on school environment birthdays, I believe if I was eccomicly able to do so I would invite everyone in the office, and ignore thoose would did not please me. It all depends on ones personality, and also position in the company, for if you are the boss it might not be as influential for you to not have your subordinates at your wedding, as it would be if you were to not invite your boss. As Joseph heller would put it, it’s a “Catch 22”....

...Why students shouldnt talk during class. * First, it is rude. Second, it won't help you if you don't learn. By talking you are telling the teacher that what you say is more important than what they are saying. You might miss important info and you won't know how to do your homework. It might also be on the test and you would miss the question. If you are doing a test the teacher would think that you were cheating and give you a 0. Being respectful in class is important to the social structure of the educational environment. Without a certain degree of respect it would distract a lot of our valuable attention, and direct it away from our daily learning. This greatly would hinder our learning abilities and minimizes our educational benefits. The dilemma that we face is that a lot of student to not know how to present the proper behavior in class. The good thing is good classroom educate is an easily obtainable skill, but a perishable skill as well before we learn how to demonstrate good classroom behavior; we must first learn the benefits of good behavior. Disrespect in class causes havoc and disorderliness. For instance If one were to speak out of turn not only would it upset the follow class mate because they did not get a fair chance to speak, but it would give the impression that other people can speak out of turn as well. If ever one spoke out of turn there would be no way to accomplish any thing. There will be too many interruptions, and some students will miss the...

...this class would be one that I enjoyed in every aspect of my learning development. Starting from the science portion of psychology and working our way to the social psychology portion, my narrow vision of what psychology really is has not only expanded but will continue to do so in my future studies in this field. Motivation and emotion can touch on various areas. When asking what motivation is and how exactly it drives us, I found that this pertains to my specific area of work the most. Having a general purpose for getting out of bed every single day and continuing to carry that instinct with you throughout your entire life can lead you to great things. When we discussed self-motivation and empowerment, I found that a lot of people struggle in the same areas and especially in girls. I wasn’t surprised by this being that in my line of work, girls have the hardest time being self-motivated due to self-esteem issues they may have or that driven feeling of self-worth. Family influences also have a great deal of impact on those working towards their goals and their dreams. When referring back to the clip we watched in class pulled from the Nutty Professor, it reminds me a little bit of how food has influenced not only myself but in regards to my family environment as well. Bonding for most families is centered around the dinner table or family outings at restaurants and in today’s world, healthy eating and having a healthy lifestyle is almost considered a taboo. With fast food and...
