...differences that each individual has that deals with the behavior patterns, cognition, and emotion. Now, each person is different, and there were a number of theorists that contributed to study of personality. The first theorist that is widely known today for his study of personality is Sigmund Freud. He was one of the most influential thinkers of all time. He came up with theories that shows his views on many different aspects of life. Some of those include personality, childhood, memory, and even sexuality. Sigmund Freud came up with a theory on the development of personality. He questioned what made us progress as individuals. Freud then found an obvious point. That point was that life is the drive that pushes us to progress as an individual. The need to have balance in our nervous system generates the motive to do things that we see is right in society. However, the appearance of the development of personality, in the case of Freud, was driven by the wanting of resolution for all of the problems that we face in life as a human being. This theory is incomplete though. What about the people who continue to have bad behavior? Or the people who continue to be suicidal? Or the person who wants to keep working because they want to keep pushing the limit and never finding a satisfaction point? Motivation is a big point in personality, but motivation is not an easy thing to understand. The second theorist is Carl Gustav Jung. Carl Jung believed that everyone had the...

...Utopian Societies in America Utopian societies while not abundant were far from rare in the nineteenth century. One such version of utopianism, Fourierism, attracted at some point numbers in the range of 100,000 members during the 1840’s alone. Nathaniel Hawthorne: A Letter from Brook Farm is just one of many primary documents preserving firsthand accounts of life in these communities. There are enough primary sources in enough detail such that Sterling F. Delano was able to create a secondary source, providing some evaluation and analysis in what has been referred to as a standard for a starting point when researching these societies in the book Brook Farm: The Dark Side of Utopia. Brook Farm was actually far from singular as a utopia experiment. In The Americanization of Utopia: Fourierism and the Dilemmma of Utopian Dissent in the United States an article by Carl J. Guarneri. Guarneri points out many such communities and experiments took place in the 1800’s. The Harmonys in Pennsylvania and New Harmony in Indianna, Onieda in New York, the list goes on although daily life Brook Farm, as was experienced by one of the community members, Nathanial Hawthorne, being the subject of the primary source of this paper. Brook Farm is seen as a trivial contribution by some writers, Guarneri’s article states the contrary that while Brook Farm is one of many experiments it was an important part of the utopian experiments of the time.

...characteristics and concepts of: Humanistic theory, The humanistic theory was developed by a group of American psychologists (Maslow, Rogers, Fritz Perls and others) who were disillusioned with the psychoanalytical approach in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Carl Rogers developed the person-centred approach based on the concept that the client was at the centre of the helping process and that they had their own self- healing capacity within themselves. He theorized that by creating a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and un-biased safe environment,and that the counsellor is open and genuine towards the client then the client will use their own wisdom in healing themselves in the way that’s right for them. The Humanistic theory is one of growth and development, it explores creativity, encourages self-awareness and self-development. Maslow theorized that people are always striving towards self-improvement, to grow and develop to their full potential. He called this self-actualization. He also theorized that people are always growing and changing in their life and he called this process actualization. Rogers theorized that people grow up developing behaviour which they feel is expected from them by family and society and that sometimes this behaviour is in conflict with the persons true natural behaviour, they may have different moral values or opinions than their parents yet won’t disclose it in fear of being rejected. The more ‘imported’ restraints imposed upon a person the...

...Taking a sip of port, David Weinberger looks around the dining table at his fellow guests, including Melvil Dewey, Carl Linnaeus, and Aristotle and breaks the comfortable silence by saying, “You know, I can see that imposing classification on the world had its uses at one time, but times have changed, and I’m starting to think that it’s going the way of the dodo.” The other guests visibly perk up, some physically sitting straighter in their seats, raising their eyebrows at Weinberger. The other four guests, along with the host, begin to debate with Weinberger on the value of classification systems in today’s society. In the hostess’ view, there is no intention to do away with the notion of the classification of objects, but rather, develop a new strategy for classification. Just as the world is ever changing, so should systems of...

Governments were naïve about business and the ways that individuals and companies made money, both legally and illegally. They were not able to deal with many cutthroat business practices, so these were allowed to continue.”(Gilded Age Scandal and Corruption-Corruption in Business and Government) Likewise, in modern society, politicians receive a great deal of money from gun-rights groups-research shows that gun-rights groups donated mostly all their money to candidates running for president, leaders in Congress and many other races in 2016. As was shown, the money amount candidates received from these groups showed that the highest was over USD360 thousand. Also, back in the Gilded Age, Tammany Hall, a well-known man, was a New York City political organization that endured for nearly two centuries. “Some of the city’s money also went for such laudable, though unauthorized, uses as support for widows, orphans, the poor, the aged, the sick, and the unemployed. Tammany supporters cited these diversions of public funds as benefits to society In 1871, the New York Times published sufficient evidence of misuse of public funds to indict and eventually convict Boss Tweed and some of his Tammany cronies.” (Gilded Age Scandal and Corruption-The Tweed Ring and Machine Politics) Now, only the affairs officers, who aren’t elected by the people...

...draws everything together by restating the thesis with reasons, and helping to better answer the question of whether funding should be increased for the space program. Introduction “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!” These words of Neil Armstrong as he took his first steps onto the moon signified one of the greatest achievements of the modern world, and the American space program. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration have been responsible for many stupendous achievements not only for the U.S., but for humans abroad. As of February 2006, their mission statement has been to, “pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.” What is the ultimate goal of NASA’s work? Do all of the discoveries we make benefit the general population? Will exploring the universe and searching for life on other planets help us gain the big picture of where we fit in? From the time it was created in 1958 up to the present age, NASA has made numerous breakthroughs in the fields mentioned, as well as science and technology. The human interaction is by far the most astounding when it comes to these discoveries. The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, as well as the International Space Station were some of the greatest accomplishments by man ever. In...

On the other hand, immigration refers to the settling in a foreign nation state permanently. Drug traffickers deal with drugs such as cocaine, heroin, cannabis, and opiates. The illegal immigrants find it hard to survive in a new environment due to financial constraints. Hence, these immigrants engage in illegal activities for example abuse of drugs and substances. Similarly, they engage in entering into other countries illegal that is a crime activity too (Bankston). Due to poverty and poor governance in Mexico, it has led to the rapidly settling of individuals in the United States and Canada. This process of settling is normally illegal since it does not follow the right channels of attaining documents from the required authorities that allow a foreigner to live in their country.

Vitamin and minerals IV. How many vegetarian are in the US V. Fames people History The term "vegetarian" was coined by the British Vegetarian Society in the mid-1800. (The Latin root of the word refers to the source of life.) However, vegetarianism itself dates back to a time before recorded history. Many anthropologists believe that most early humans ate mainly plant foods, being more like gatherers than hunters. This view is supported by the fact that the human digestive system resembles that of other plant-eaters rather than that of meat-eaters. The early "human as plant-eater" view is also supported by the fact that humans on meat-based diets contract receive major health problems such as heart disease and cancer much more frequently than people eating vegetarian diets. The Greek mathematician Pythagoras was a vegetarian, and vegetarians were often called Pythagoreans until a different word was created. You’ll ward off disease. Vegetarian diets are more healthful than the average American diet, particularly in preventing, treating or reversing heart disease and reducing the risk of cancer. You’ll keep your weight down. The standard American diet high in saturated fats and processed foods and low in plant-based foods and complex carbohydrates is making us...

...Psychodynamics is the systematic study and theory of the psychological forces that underline human behavior, emphasizing the interplay between unconscious and conscious motivation.[1] The original concept of "psychodynamics" was developed by Sigmund Freud.[2] Freud suggested that psychological processes are flows of psychological energy in a complex brain, establishing "psychodynamics" on the basis of psychological energy, which he referred to as libido. The psychodynamic psychotherapy is a less intensive form compared to classical psychoanalysis practiced by strict Freudians, demanding sessions only once weekly instead of 3-5 times weekly which was typical for traditional psychoanalysts. Psychodynamic therapies depend on a theory of inner conflicts which surface in behaviour or emotions. Generally, one conflict is subconscious. ------------------------------------------------- Overview In general, psychodynamics, also known as dynamic psychology, is the study of the interrelationship of various parts of the mind, personality, or psyche as they relate to mental, emotional, or motivational forces especially at the unconscious level.[4][5][6] The mental forces involved in psychodynamics are often divided into two parts:[7] (a) interaction of emotional forces: the interaction of the emotional and motivational forces that affect behavior and mental states, especially on a subconscious level; (b) inner forces affecting behavior: the study of the emotional and motivational forces...

...Chicago and it suburbs. Introduction Deindustrialization brought the new generation of young gangsters. Its number increases every year, all over the country, in cities of different sizes. Are those gangs the product of restructuring economics? Can they be considered a new social minority? What policy should the community use to control this problem? I decided to write my research paper about the gang activities during the deindustrialization because I think it is very important for political scientist to research how economical and political changes may impact the society and public policy. In my work I answer such questions as what challenges the urban administration experiences during the globalization and how to respond to them. This topic has its actuality today because gangs are becoming a new social “underclass”. (Taylor, 1990, p. 81) What does it mean? With the end of industrialization era a lot of job opportunities disappeared for a new generation of youth. Moreover, gang bands usually act as well-armed economic groups. As the result, many young males were involved in street gang activities such as drug dealing and other criminals. Once those young ones fall in criminal they stay involved in gang activities even when they become adult. (Hagedorn, 1991, p.529) It is remarkable to notice that Mass Media also had its role in growing new population of gangs. The Hollywood industry usually shows images of rich, famous gangsters in contrast of limited...

...The Rise of Social Media in the 21st Century and its Advent as a Legitimate Form of Communication John Santry Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract Social Media offers an exciting new area for individuals and business to explore relationship building and communication on a grandiose scale. This study explores how the tools and opportunities afforded by social media sites are enabling and legitimizing a new form of communication. While social media is beneficial in numerous ways, greater audience engagement increases the possibility of misperception. Therefore, a new category of social network related etiquette and ethical responsibility is warranted. This paper will look at some of those reasons for increased awareness and attention to being politically correct when publically participating in social media, and how those elements can affect ones personal or professional perception. Keywords: social media, social network, Facebook, Twitter, communication, etiquette, ethics The Rise of Social Media in the 21st Century and its Advent as a Legitimate Form of Communication Introduction Social media has broken the barriers of space and time, enabling 24/7 communications on a scale unlike any before.
