Introduction:

Let us begin with a famous quote by Criss Jami, “In an extrovert society, the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an introvert is often unconsciously deemed guilty until proven innocent” which shows how judgemental a society can be. But first how do we define a norm? Norm is defined as expectations or rules of a behaviour that develop out of values. Social norms grow out of social values and serve to differentiate human social behaviour from that of other species. Norms are the means through which values are expressed in behaviour. Social norms are values ...

INTRODUCTION

Personality refers to the collective traits of an individual that distinguishes one from another. Each individual has a distinct personality and hence, it becomes an identity of that person. According to Gordon Allport, personality is defined as “the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his characteristic behavior and thought” (Chapter 8, slide 6). Our personality determines the kind of behavior we are most likely to display. For example, you may perceive me as an arrogant person just because I do not have a big circle of friends. On the contrary, I am a self-centered person and ...

Carl Gustav Jung's psychotherapeutic concept is closely related in its basis with the concept of Sigmund Freud, and at the same time very different from the latter. This can be explained by the personal peculiarities of Jung, the creator of analytic psychology.

I have always been the kind of person who pretty much stayed to himself and got attention from people no matter what, which did not come from hanging out with crowds of people because I’ve always been a loner. To stretch this point further, I remember when I started college at Miami Dade College in August of 2013. I did not know anyone but within being there for 10 minutes, a small group of people came up to me and introduced themselves. I did the same thing and from the point on I took that piece of attention I got ...

For an introvert like me, I enjoy participating in solitary and reserved activities such as hunting, reading storybooks, fishing and using computers. Although I enjoy spending time with close friends, I enjoy spending time alone and participating in activities that one can perform alone. I do not find much interest in participating in the group’s activities. This explains why I found myself interested in the book “Where The Red Fern Grows” by author Wilson Rawls. I like stories about dogs, friendship, family, and life on a farm. This book is about a ten-year-old boy named Billy who lived on a ...
