...Personality Reflection Paper Debbie Cooper PSY/250 July 30, 2012 AnneySnyder Personality Reflection Paper The following will reflect this researchers understanding and reflection on personality, how it defines one, what it means, and if one’s personality changes to fit certain situations. At the end this researcher may have a better insight into herself as well as the personalities of others. This insight can help her in her future endeavors. Personality I would define personality as what makes each individual different. Each human being’s personality is as unique as they are. While most people define personality to describe another’s more apparent characteristics, psychologists use personality to try to give reason to similar personalities reacting differently in the exact same single occurrence. For example, individuals with identical backgrounds, motivations, and experiences react very differently to a single event. Some believe that we are each born with our personalities; however I believe that we are born with certain inherent traits while the rest develop because of our environment and our experiences. One’s personality allows one to be expressly unique and exceptional. It is what defines us as individuals and separates us from others. Key Personality Features Some key features that define who I am are responsible, loyal, trustworthy, honest, dedicated, open-minded, respectful, patient, and courteous. Responsible because I care about those in my charge and...

However, this has changed somewhat; for the better might I add. I have been given a unique opportunity to write about a subject or person within this field of study. After spending a great amount of time researching for a subject that would be fascinating to write about, I came to the conclusion that I would write about the legendary Primatologist Jane Goodall. The information found regarding her life and work is nothing short of amazing. Knowing this, I had to determine what areas I was going to focus on for this paper. So I’ve come to the conclusion...

...to win the game against the Miami Heat. That image of Kobe shooting over Dwyane Wade has ever since been stuck in my head leading me to many childish fantasies of me hitting a game winning shot in game 7 of the finals to win the championship like Kobe did. That buzzer beater by Kobe was the first of many game winning plays I saw watching sports including the most recent of them which was a game tying hail mary by Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs to send the game to overtime against the Arizona Cardinals. However, in that time I have seen many instances where players have had the chance to make a crucial game winning play at the end of the game but failed to do so. One of the biggest recurring things I’ve seen over the years are missed free throws in clutch moments of games by really good free throw shooters, which made me thinking how can some people make several clutch shots repetitively while some superstars choke...

...“Mixed” Results: Multiracial Research and Identity Explorations author Gaither (2015) explains the notion that multiracial individuals often feel pressure to choose one central race to identify with while also investigating the idea that the individual’s multiple identities actually allows them to assume flexible cognitive and behavioral tactics.

In its entirety, this research shows that multiracial people generally take a more open approach to interacting with others. There were many...

...Divorce has become the norm in American society, but what has not become the norm are the effects that it has on children. Divorce impacts all individuals connected to the relationship but children are effected the most. Because of their innocence and immaturity they are not able to cope with the stressful events and aftermath of divorce like adults are able to. No one knows exactly how a child will react to divorce but more than not their behavior can be characterized as explosive and sporadic. The purpose of this research paper is to provide credible information on the effects that divorce has on children and the impact that it makes on their overall outlook on life before and after the divorce occurred. It will also highlight the stress that comes along with the relationship between parent and child as well as some insight on common practices used to help the children cope with the overall impact of divorce. Last but not least I will be adding some insight from my own personal experience about the effects of divorce. The demise or end of marriage has various and lasting effects on everyone connected to the couple going through that situation. Along with that comes a huge amount of stress, ill willed feelings, confusion, emptiness, and a plethora of other things that I would need three more pages to list. Children are the most vulnerable to the effects of these things. With their simple mind set and understanding of things, the concept of daddy and mommy not living...

...analysis of a viral video that started floating around in May of 2015. The video featured a brand new 2015 Volvo XC60 vehicle that is equipped with a forward detection and autonomous braking system that detects object in front of the car and stop it before a collision occurs. The video shows the test failed and ultimately crashed into the unsuspecting pedestrian who was seemingly expecting the vehicle to stop. Time magazine summarized the video and investigated the lingering questions everyone was thinking, “What went wrong?” and “Why did the car not stop?” Time investigated that the people involved with the test were under the impression the forward detection and braking systems would stop the car before hitting the pedestrian. When Time reached out to the automaker, they let us know the vehicle was actually not equipped with the optional pedestrian detection upgrade that would have prevented this accident. This article helped me prove the argument of human error in my research paper. A huge factor of autonomous driving systems is the fact that people believe that they are not as safe as the automakers say they are. When the video first surfaced, it went viral and opponents of autonomous driving cars used this as proof of their unreliability. This article with its analysis and evidence helped to debunk that theory. Rosenfeld, A., Bareket, Z., Goldman, C., Kraus, S., & LeBlanc, D. (2012). Towards Adapting Cars to their Drivers.

Measuring Emotions Through a Mobile Device Across Borders, Ages, Genders, and More September 2012 ESOMAR Conference Authors: Rolfe Swinton and Rana El Kaliouby Remember when measuring consumer emotions was a new field that required clunky equipment? That day has long since passed. In this paper Rolfe Swinton and Rana El Kaliouby discuss the use of mobile devices to capture immediate facial and verbal responses to advertisements.

...Meta Analysis Like many others, this essay scared me. I wanted to get a jump start on this essay so I immediately began looking for argumentative topic. I looked for one that I would enjoy writing about and I found one, Gap year. While waiting for Mrs. Bain to come over to my desk to see if my topic would work, I heard another classmate call over Mrs. Bain and tell her that she is doing Gap year. I immediately got frustrated because I had that topic chose before a came to class that day and I felt as if my topic got stole from me. As I began to look for other topics, I realized nothing was jumping out at me. I got nervous that I would get stuck with a topic that I would not like.

...After my long research on twentieth century art, Picasso’s Art has caught my eye the most. Picasso's Three Musicians is by far my favorite piece by him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Picasso_three_musicians_moma_2006.jpg This painting is considered to be Sythetic Cubist style because of the broken up and reassembled pieces to represent the subject in a greater text. What I mean in my terms is that the odd shapes are reassembled to still keep a clear image, in this case I mean the three men in the picture. The Three Muscians is a great example of Cubist style in the Twentieth century. Pablo Picasso was a spanish painter who spent most of his lifetime in France. He is known to this very day as the greatest and most influential artist of the 20th century. Picasso demonstrated artistic talent in his early years, painting realistic manner through his childhood experiences. Aside from the anti-war paintings that he created Picasso remained neutral during World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II, refusing to join the armed forces for any side or country. Picasso's work is often categorized in periods, The Blue Period (1901-1904), The Rose Period (1905-1907), the African-Influenced Period (1908-1909), Analytic Cubism (1909-1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912-1919). The Three Musicians is so unique and considered cubism because of its cut paper fragments from a newspaper or from wallpaper were pasted into compositions, creating the first use of collage in fine art. ...

...about coffee, they will think of some popular brands, such as, Nescafe, Starbucks, Gloria Jeans, etc. However, it is the fact that, according to the BBC News in 2012, Vietnam has just surpassed Brazil to be the world’s largest coffee exporter. (BBC , 2012). Furthermore, G7 Coffee– the major product from Trung Nguyen Group – the greatest coffee company in Vietnam – also has high quality like the coffee of those brands. And thus, there are some questions arising from this fact, “Why doesn’t the G7 Coffee from Vietnam become as famous as the coffee from those popular brands, in all over the world?”, “Can it be?” and “How can it?” Background Trung Nguyen Group was established in June 16th, 1996. At that time, it was just a small company in Buon Me Thuot, which is one of the three main highlands for growing coffee in Vietnam. Nowadays, according to Trung Nguyen’s home page, Trung Nguyen Coffee has been available in over 50 countries in the world. In addition, Trung Nguyen Coffee is even chosen by the government for any international meetings or conferences. It can be said that, Trung Nguyen Coffee has truly become a Vietnamese iconic brand. (Trung Nguyen, 2012) (See Appendix A) Statement of the Problem As mentioned above, in July, 2012, Vietnam has become...

...Mäori & Public Health: Ethics A discussion paper Preamble Being asked to write a paper on Mäori perspectives on Public Health ethics raises issues for me. Some years ago my research colleagues and I invited Moana Jackson to participate in a project on genetic engineering. Our first question for him was along the lines of whether Mäori had a ‘unique perspective’ on genetic engineering. It was then that we received our lesson about the use of the word ‘perspective’ (Cram, Pihama & Philip-Barbara, 2000:66-67). Moana said that, ‘The word perspective to me is interesting. It assumes that there is something that is a given upon which Mäori can be expected to have a valid point of view. The moment you do that you situate the Päkehä model as the truth; and you ask Mäori to give a view on it. I think there are Mäori truths and they exist independently of whatever Päkehä view as reality or truth and to seek a Mäori perspective is to legitimate the Päkehä perspective on the issue. So to ask for a Mäori perspective on say the use of land is to validate the Päkehä concepts of property and seek to fit a Mäori view of that within it. Whereas what we should begin with is: what is the Mäori truth on land and how does that sit alongside, rather then fit within, the Päkehä view?’ Perhaps even more scary than asking whether there is a Mäori ‘perspective’ on Public Health ethics is the thought of asking what the Mäori ‘truth’ about Public Health ethics is. Once again, Moana is able...
