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. Introverts tend to accumulate their energy and direct it to their inner world, while extroverts waste their energy on the interaction with the outside world. 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 ...

For the news reporters, it’s important to note the two sides of President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural concert. The event took place in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the eve of the inauguration ceremony held on 20th January 2017.

It is undoubtedly in hearts of many to say that in duration of its history, the world has barely seen an atrocity more disgusting and frightening than fascism. Fascism, as a movement, as an ideology has done so much evil to this world in the relatively recent years that some of those who had to struggle from it are still alive, and can still recollect whatever horrors they have encountered, and these memories can still make one’s hair rise, and one’s breath stop. However, it would be simply unfair to say that fascism is the worst that ...

The first picture appears to be a poster or a picture, which can either be printed or it can be an image on some screen. It appears to be the poster or the picture of a movie or film, which is captured as still life. It can also be the work of photography.

Upon looking at the image, there are certain elements which can be clearly ...

I want to learn how to manage my stress. As well as other people, I experience stressful situations every day, and I notice that inability to manage the received stress disturbs my sleep and causes neurosis: I constantly feel anxiety and often experience excessive sweat, trembling of my hands, and inability to sit motionlessly for more than 2-3 minutes. I hope that the ability to manage my stress will reduce its negative impact on my nervous system and release me from these symptoms. I think that at the moment, my perception and reaction to stressful situations are habitual, and ...

Everyone, male or female, is subject to the whims and the pressures of society. Of course, not everyone has to bow or bend to the demands of society: there have been a plethora of counterculture movements that have focused on the need to rebel against the mainstream and against the demands that society places on people to conform. Human beings seem to have a simultaneous need within that drives them to want to stand out from the crowd, but also drives them to want acceptance from the crowd. For many, acceptance from the crowd requires conforming to many arbitrary ...

Kesha’s concert at Harrah’s in Atlantic City was poor. Her costume almost matched the curtain behind the stage, making it a bad color combination. Also, she was very scantily-clad, and her appearance was inappropriate, something that took away from the quality of her music. In addition, her music, although having a very good dance beat, was difficult to understand. That is, the lyrics were hard to discern. Whether this was due to the poor audio quality at the venue or due to her lack of singing ability is hard to determine. It appeared that the crowd liked ...

Art & Architecture

Introduction The work of Charles Baudelaire had a significant contribution on the concept of modernism particularly in his essay “The Painter of Modern Life”. Baudelaire’s influence on modernism was constructed from his criticism of art and urban space where he seeks for inherent beauty within the bustling landscape and transitional urban spaces. Before the publication of his work, Paris, France is undergoing a major industrialization phase, which served as a theatre for Baudelaire to redefine the context of modernism conveyed in his controversial verse (Tuman, 2010). The discussion explores the conception of urban modernism including the ways in ...

If I were to choose the century in which I would live in Europe, with no doubt, the 18th century would be my best bet. The century was marked by significant economic transformations and inventions that made life right for every citizen in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom supported its nationals as was evidenced by the government, which introduced support system schemes for poor people in the community. Moreover, there were government projects that were spearheaded with the aim of ensuring that the semi-skilled people earned some source of living. The introduced system of socialism united the nation. ...

I believe that the enjoyment that comes to poetry is not dependent on the poem, but on the poet who presents it. Many people who have been to a poetry class or a spoken word concert are likely to agree with me. Poetry, according to Emily Dickinson, a well-known poet, brings people's thoughts and emotions into being. It resonates with those emotions so deep that they cannot be uttered in the absence of poetry. My love for poetry has been a lifelong experience. I grew up in a family where intellectual growth was more important that our own physical ...

Introduction

Activism by university students has always been discouraged by administrators with many of these activists finding themselves on the wrong side of the law. The 1960’s were characterized by racial discrimination and the oppression of the rights of students from free expression.

It is during this period that Mario Savio joined the University of California, Berkeley and used speech to mobilize his fellow students to participate in peaceful sit-ins to demand free speech rights.

The Future of Food

Every Tuesday morning people would always be seen trekking towards the direction of the sunrise with their bags and some with cartons. To a visitor in the village, he or she would be confused and would think that the usual long line of people was going closer to the sun just to stare at its beauty.

The Psychoanalytic Interpretation of Society by S. Freud

Besides the fact that Sigmund Freud is the founder of psychoanalysis and many other important psychological theories, this great psychoanalyst also had his own unique views on society and the processes within it. Most of his theories related to such concepts as "libido", "groups", and "crowd" form rather a strange and ambiguous interpretation of society. Freud hardly distinguished the individual from the context of the whole society and divided the society itself into the crowd, or the groups, which is compared with the primitive horde. This radical disregard for the human qualities of the individual, as a separate and ...

It was 4:32 in the afternoon, on a Tuesday, when it happened. At 4:31 one could look out their window and see the robotic assistants, called RA’s for short completing all of the basic everyday tasks that people once had to do for themselves.

The earth appears to be colder and dirty and the use of green has been limited thus the appearance is somewhat wet. The appearance of ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter is one of the most famous novels by the American romantic writer. While the novel is well-known for its depiction of the relationships between the characters, and the romantic plots and subplots, the novel also has great value as a historical study of the Puritan period. Puritan society was a highly gendered society, with strict gender roles for men and women, and a well-established patriarchal society. Explorations of the novel, and of the depiction of Hester’s character, her punishment, and her actions in the novel can help reveal whether Hawthorne was realistically ...

[Client’s name] Discuss how the General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales and one of the tales themselves could function as a criticism of the three estates of medieval culture; that is, the social hierarchy of the 14th century. How do Chaucer’s descriptions of the pilgrims in the prologue contribute to this? In the Medieval Culture there were three estates of the society. There were those, who prayed, those who fought and those who worked. In Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer the representatives of each estate go into the journey, and right from the Prologue each participant starts ...

Rational Choice Theory

Rational choice theory forms the basis for understanding and modeling the reasons why people make decisions or perform actions that lead to specific results and for prediction of their decisions and actions under specific circumstances. The roots of rational choice theory lie in political and classical economic theories. Its sociological use is innovative as allows to explain how social interactions influence people’s decisions and shape social order. However, rational choice theory is criticized for several reasons including over-rationalization of human thoughts, modernism, and ignoring of the social determinants. This critic seems well argued, as social behavior does not ...

I can feel the stage being set, as if something in the air awakens me to it. Among the ear-piercing drumming and shredding, the singer’s vocal cords fleeing from his throat screaming “NIGHTMARE,” the raven-black crowd starts backing away from one another as they create a semi-perfect circle. Everyone is stalking their prey across the circle as they wait for the chorus to start. Suddenly, I feel a sweaty grip pulling my left hand into the crowd away from the circle to the front rows. Startled, I tilt my head to see who is pulling me – it is ...

It is not human nature to run towards trouble, but instead away from it. Human beings possess an innate sense that requires them to bear witness to tragedy, drama, and triumph alike, but does not force them into action. There are exceptions to the rule without a doubt, though these are relatively few and in most cases will inspire others to act. Without those who work against their own nature as human beings however the inactivity and inability to intervene when needed is a very human characteristic. It is easier to stand by and do nothing than it is ...

Dreams are a profound mystery that largely went unexplained throughout the majority of human history until Sigmund Freud tried tangling with them. One of his assertions was that if a person feels guilt for any reason but then represses that guilt so that he no longer senses it on a conscious level, it will emerge on an unconscious level, such as through insanity or nightmares. It is possible to repress guilt, of course, so that it no longer has much to do with us on a day-to-day level, but it does not leave. It simply lurks in a different ...

The general understanding of a radical is that they seek change in some form, be it good or bad. An extremist exists outside of society, standing on their own or with like-minded individuals that see themselves apart from whatever society they have chosen to depart. Radical extremists are typically those who believe that their way is that which must be followed. Anyone that dares to disagree with them tends to become an instant enemy, and a potential victim. Through threats and acts of violence radical extremists have caused the loss of freedoms and liberties that many citizens have taken ...

The stakeholders who were present at the event were the organizers, festivalgoers, and musicians. The organizers took the initiative of organizing the big event but failed in their organizing role thus leading to chaos. For instance, they did not provide enough space to cater for all the people who came to the event. This is because there was a big crowd which could not be held by the space provided. There was no enough space for escape in case of any emergency causing a security threat to the clients. Besides, they did not provide enough resources to cater for ...

Tobacco smoking is a global epidemic amongst the youths today. Like the adults, the youths are also exposed to great health problems. In the United States particularly, there are huge implications for the economic and public health concerns both now and in the future.

A lot has been said about the prowess of Barack Obama and the brilliance he showed on March 18th, 2008 when he was addressing people in Philadelphia during his campaign. He said things that even his distractors couldn’t say either in public or in privacy (Frank 180). The focus is on the orator ability to talk about racism and togetherness in public and his desire to move the country to a new and better level. He is assuring the whites that they have no reason to fear from voting in an African-American (Talbot, David, page 82). His speech ...

As quoted by Lord Byron, when the Colosseum stands, Rome stands, and when the Colosseum falls, Rome falls and when Rome falls the world falls. This shows how the Colosseum was of great importance and iconic in nature of the people in Rome. It has remained to be the largest and the best-preserved amphitheaters in the history of Rome. Though other amphitheaters are well preserved, are currently used for purposes of modern entertainment, for example art galleries, sports and holding concerts. Games and entertainment activities were of great importance to the people and were used as a way of ...

The growing cost of college education has raised debates about how viable a college degree is. These debates are further fueled by required knowledge and skill sets required for current job market. Given current unemployment rates (coming in heel of an unprecedented economic recession), investment in college education has not only become a financial burden long after graduation but is also becoming, critically, less rewarding from a job prospect perspective. Indeed, "overeducated" college graduates – particularly ones completing an undergraduate or a higher degree in software engineering or digital media majors – are experiencing particularly painful job experiences, particularly during early ...

Everyone knows Tony Montana’s famous line, “say hello to my little friend” (DePalma, Scarface), regardless of whether they have even seen the film or not. However, what many people do not realize about the film are the many racial undertones and stereotypes that occur within the layers of context. The film is based around the conflict between Cubans and Americans, beginning with the importation of Cuban refugees to the United States to the escalation of the ...

Crowd Working

INTRODUCTION The nature of work is changing. From a fixed-hour, fixed-place and fixed pay job design, more recent job offers in current market suggest new developments in employment. In older work arrangements, employees are hired based on fixed-period contracts (usually renewable at employer's will and most consistently cancelled during periods of economic crunch and mass layoffs) and are compensated in return for labor hours spent in more or less fixed location and/or workplace layout design. The emergence of ICT innovations, particularly web-based workflow systems, has, however, introduced interesting novelties into how work can be done but also, probably more ...

On a global front, creativity acts as a priority to educational systems and is primary to the debate concerning contemporary learning. In his Talk “Do Schools Kill Creativity”, filmed on TED in February 2006, Ken Robinson argues that the current education system places a significant role in killing creativity in children. He, instead, recommends the creation of a personalized approach that encourages creativity development. Ideally, Robinson develops his credibility on this issue using personal events, credible sources, and emotional appeals. In his talk, Robinson initially sets the stage by outlining three primary points that define his presence to the ...

Modern music and classical music: two different directions, two different fates, different range of listeners, different influences. These two genres of music are completely unlike each other. Nowadays people have their right to choose what they believe is best for them. Mostly, they are not influenced by the crowd when it comes to their personal preferences. Each person has his own tastes and it is normal. Someone is ready to listen to Mozart, Schubert and Bach for weeks, and someone finds himself in all day long listening to "Queen", "Nirvana" or Depeche Mode. But why do people refer to ...

It used to be fun to visit museums when in school with friends and school groups. However, my visit to Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) was different, as now I was in college and going there not just because everyone is going, or that your school or teachers have organized a tour, but I was going there based on my own plans and decisions. I had heard a lot about LACMA and decided to get more information about the museum online. I explored the website of LACMA and learned about the history of the museum. I learned ...

The arrival of the British troops in Boston in the year 1768 was a cause of much unrest between the relations of the Americans and the British. The American soldiers were just as disturbed as the American citizens, who were forced to be kept under control by the British rule.

The unrest that ensued came from the colonists and the ones who were loyal to the British Parliament. As much as the personal strife between the colonists and the ...
