The Main Features of Introverts' behavior in the social environment

As is known, introversion is one of the most common categories or indicators to measure personality traits. Introverts are people whose personality traits are very different from those of other people, who can also be called extroverts.

If an extrovert needs a constant dialogue with the people, an introvert can successfully do without it. An introvert is capable of minimal contact, which is also necessary, but it happens rarely and only in the companies ...

English literature

The 19th and early 20th century had to face a reality characterized by social, political and economic issues. Furthermore the World War One dramatically changed the already complex and troubled frame which gave birth to the Modernism. Indeed during the 19th century the traditional Victorian society turned itself into a modern and industrialized society, where cities were growing fast and the old ethical and religious values were rejected. This massive change also involved all the traditional forms of art, literature, architecture, philosophy, science and even all the aspects of the everyday lives.

Theoretical approaches in psychology

Personality and situational behavior
The personality trait approach begins by assuming that people differ in their typical patterns of feeling, thought, and action. Such patterns are known as personality traits. However, classifying people according to traits brings up a significant problem. Individuals are inconsistent. Some psychologists have postulated that people are so inconsistent in behavior from one circumstance to another that it is not reasonable to categorize them by personality traits. The controversy arising over this issue is the Person-situation debate.
Opponents of the trait approach, also known as situationists make the following arguments. For one, traits have an ...

It is true that the patient might be suffering from Swimmer’s ear. According to Hui (2013), Swimmer’s ear is commonly experienced in children and adults. It is clear that swimmer’s ear also causes inflammation, fullness in the inner ear and possible hearing loss (Hui, 2013).It is also true that most of the diagnosis is done by the observation of the outer ear such as the pinna. In some cases, the inflammation of the outer ear might be caused by complications in the fluids found in the inner ear. An otoscope could, therefore, be used to ...

Discuss ‘Another Country’ as a Realistic Novel

Another Country is definitely the innovative and fresh novel of the time as it not only represents the tabooed topics and reveals carefully hidden truths but also gives the new lease of life to the genre of a realistic novel.

What is one of the major goals of art? Art reflects the society and a battle between the external world and the human inward. For instance, fashion is much more than just clothes; it is a reflection of a person through the prism of his mental world, knowledge, and emotion, and, what is more important, a way of communication. And photography, in turn, is also much more than just beautiful, or strange pictures. Given the subjective nature of its creation, what do photographs offer the viewer? Photography challenges the audience to search for truth, “in a fragmented, ...

Vincent van Gogh was born as the son of a middle class family in 1853; his style of painting created a maelstrom of rejection, panic, and curiosity from the late 19th century public. The famous Van Gogh scholar named Zola previously stated that no other artist had ever exceeded Van Gogh; his immense popularity as a result of his insanely beautiful artworks made him a champion of the rejected artists who crafter genius masterpieces that are all timeless, hysterical, and eccentrically beautiful at the same time.

Abstract

Talent identification is one of the most important and difficult tasks for football coaches across the world. Even years of research could not provide objective criteria for talent identification in the field of football. Coaches and scouts across the globe use subjective criteria to select talents at an early age. Though most of the old school youth programs still use technical skills and physical skills to select talents, superior physical skills exhibited at an early age were found to have no correlation with the later year performance. More modern youth football programs consider cognitive skills, such as tactical ability ...

Analysis of the Character of Shakespeare's Macbeth in the Social and Historical Contexts

The play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, which is based on the Scottish history, appears to be not so much a work of art as a political response to the era in which it was necessary to develop a Scottish theme, emphasize the historical friendship of England and Scotland, and tell about the popular witches and witchcraft at the new royal court. Undoubtedly, tragedies are the creative heritage of William Shakespeare. They express the power of his brilliant mind and the essence of his era, precisely because the subsequent periods comprehended their conflicts through the prism of the Shakespearean works ...

As the narrative progresses, Hemingway subtly explores the relationship between aging and faith. This theme permeates the text, shedding light on the broader interplay between aging and faith in modern society, as well as evoking memories of ...

For my comparative essay I decided to take next songs: No Doubt – “Just a Girl” (1995) and Colbie Caillat – “Try” (2014). I was thinking a lot about the topic of these songs. It seems to be that they are about gender or sexual identity, because each of these songs is about girls imagine. But after listening to the lyrics several times I understood both of songs describe gender identity. These songs are about girls but very different images of girls.
The first song by band “No doubt” tells us about typical American girl of middle 90: she has her ...

Today, the mention of crime in the inner cities immediately whips up emotions regarding unlawful possession of guns by criminal gangs. There are many reports on violence that result from the use of unregistered guns over the past decades.The crime rate in inner cities goes interchangeably with unlawful possession of guns. When the government put laws that seek to control ownership of guns, do the steps help to stop crime and protect citizens?

Buddhism, like all the other Eastern religions, originated from “Animism”, which is the belief that everything in the universe has an essence, a spirit or a soul.

The human comprehension of reality and the world in general is truly complicated topic which is extremely individual and objective. Apart from the wholesome systems of different philosophical streams and religions, every person constructs one's own apprehension of reality and the purpose of one's lives, which are based on the whole complex of different aspects and issues, such as the human's background, one's ethnicity and culture, social status, personal traits and features of character, one's inner capacities and talents, personal life experience, etc. Apart from that, every person tends to think and rethink, makes great plans for the future, ...

With the recent surge in mass shootings in the both the United States and overseas locations such as Paris, Munich, and Istanbul, and the fact this is an election year, the debate over gun control seems to have resurfaced. There does not seem to be any middle ground when it comes to gun control. Americans either strongly support the second Amendment right to bear arms, or they want guns banned. There are many viable reasons for banning firearms in the United States. Some of the strongest reasons for gun control are the disrespect for authority; they encourage gang warfare, ...

I feel that the spiritual influences on personality are the most imperative aspects. Spirituality, for me, is a practice to connect with the inner self and create a meaning in the life. It is still a neglected aspect of personality development (PD); the awareness, nonetheless is growing courtesy to the mushrooming art of living programs and meditation centers.
The importance of the spiritual development of personality is necessitated by the mounting work pressure, interpersonal conflicts, deterioration in the relationship, and increased stress levels. Researchers have affirmed that the spiritual development facilitates a holistic development of the personality thereby nurturing ...

There can be a consensus among literary critics about the fact that poetry provides the utmost scope of exudation of literary quintessence and aesthetic appeal on the part of the literary artist. The literary artist has the liberty to use a number of metaphors that is a type of figure of speech in which a kind of expression is used for the purpose of referring to something that is not literally denoted by the expression. A metaphor thus goes on to suggest a similarity between the signifier and the signified in the literary work. Thus, metaphor can very well ...

Using Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Creation of Naturing Life

Nature life is a beauty perfect in the eyes of people. In fact, Coco Chanel quoted the words, “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous” (Armour 1). The pursuit of beauty is a topic always applicable to life among women, even to those who lived thousands of years ago. Thus, there is always the question on how women of long ago maintain their beautiful appearance, as reflected in the Chinese customs, which is apparently very different from the ways of the modern times that uses science and technology.

She sat quietly. She looked calm. She was all drenched.
The park was empty. It was raining heavily. The leaves were all wet.

The sudden rain was livening after the long summer.

A bird had just flown back to the nest atop that big tree.
She was happy that no one could see her tears. She wanted to look calm.

She was happy that no one could know she was broken from inside.

She thought of the baby. She thought of her life. She wanted to cry her heart out.
But, that would make her look weak. Although alone, she wanted to look strong.
She is now a killer. She didn’t want to. But she did. He wanted her to.

2. Hemingway had an approach to writing he referred to as “the iceberg theory.” How does this theory apply to The Old Man and the Sea?
Santiago's struggle with the marlin throughout the story represents a profound importance that Hemingway placed on experience in his writing. This experience could be used in order to inform a deeper understanding of the subjects that he was presenting. His prose was written in an efficient, non-description manner, which requires the reader to make their own judgments and inferences based on their personal experiences. This seems to create an underlying tension that is ...

Because Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun takes its title from Langston Hughes’ poem about the dangers of deferring dreams due to racism, many people assume that the primary theme of the play is the corrosive effects of racism on the souls of African Americans.

However, there are other themes at work in the play as well, such as the ins and outs ...

In terms of both our vocations and hobbies, we often aspire to become great. What happens, however, when this very desire consumes and overtakes us? The 2010 film "Black Swam" starring Natalie Portman as a high-profile ballet dancer, shows its viewers that unchecked ambition can be a dangerous and ultimately deadly thing. This message is achieved primarily through the film's use of detail-heavy camerawork, its character depiction, and its embrace of magical realism and distortions of reality. The main character Nina loses her identity, herself to become perfect and on this way to the culmination of her transformation she ...

“Pure philosophical writing is the anti-image.” - Agamben

In exploration of frameworks of both covert and overt manifestations of indeterminacy, these concerns are revealed, as representations, in philosophies of aesthetic iconoclasm and art, artifacts as symbolic, and modern issues related to Being and subjectivity, both of which are analogous to Nietzsche’s model of the relationship. For example, tragedy, comprised of Dionysian and Apollonian forces which combine in a chiasmic unity of oppositions, according to Professor Fred Ulfers, are characterized by Nietzsche as beautiful, singular and factual on the one hand (Apollonian), and sublime, multiple, and fictional on the other ( ...

There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

People were militant because they wanted to conquer new lands and prove their strength to their neighbors. Many wars, including the legendary Trojan War, were fought for women. The entire nations were brought up prepared to go to war with other empires, including Spartans, Persians and Romans, ...

BODY CAMERAS TO BENEFIT POLICE AND CITIZENS

There is a sustained perception by minority groups such as African-Americans that the law enforcement officers treat discriminately. This has increased incidences of police involvement against the demographics. However, the introduction and use of body cameras come as a panacea towards bringing to an end the unprecedented cases of police brutality and use of excessive force. In addition, civil suits concerning police brutality launched by African Americans are expected to reduce the involvement of body cameras. According to the H.Res.16, the wearing of body cameras by local law enforcement agencies while serving the communities encourages transparency and protects both ...

Introduction

There are several reasons why the annual Burning Man festival is unique among mass gatherings. Held in the Black Rock section of America’s Great Basin desert in Nevada, Burning Man’s 70,000 participants construct a city that houses—and in itself functions as—a participatory performing arts space, a communal spiritual retreat, and a cathartic experience of radical self-expression (Brill 2007). Then, one week later, they tear it all down, pack everything out, and leave no trace behind. It is an anti-market event (Cesewski & Giles 2007) whose participants rely on gift-giving and barter to secure any necessities ...
