New People

limited than I had initially thought because reading about each trait revealed a much more in depth perception on the kind of person these assets describe. First, consistency defines a person who essentially believes in the equal treatment of all people no matter their station in life, praising those who deserve to be recognized. This relates to the quality harmony because conflict is held to a minimum and the overall goal is to get along with others, no matter what differences may present…

to be to take control over one state but it was actually quite simple. It had started off with a group of teenagers who wanted to make a change in how things were run and how people were treated. They met in a small group trying to figure out how they could change the school teaching systems for better, and soon more people wanted to join to support the change in bigger things such as government. Eventually, the group came up with the name Detrimental Significance and a motto of "Carpe Diem; to…

Celebrities today are constantly seen on the news, in the tabloids, or even on social media websites. We as a culture focus on them and analyze every single move they make. Their lives are no longer private, but instead blasted everywhere for everyone to see. Ty Burr brings up the excellent question of why do we obsess over these human beings; why do we portray them in a Godly light? We as a society look to these people, not because of who they are, but rather what they have and the distraction…

In life people have to deal with all sorts of situations big and small. Social psychology has broken down how we deal with those situations into six dyads that are meant to show how we deal with the situations that we confront (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007). The first dyad is that different persons respond differently to the same situation (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007). For an example, let us say that an experiment in which a social scientist is trying to find out…

All people in the world have gone, are going, or will have gone through hard times in life. Adversity, according to the Roman poet Horace, can have the effect of eliciting talents that one did not have at a time. He expressed that in prosperous circumstances these talents would have stayed inactive if it weren’t for the adversity. I agree with Horace being that it can be seen as true in the lives of many, including Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, Beethoven, and George Washington Carver.…

hoping to avoid the type of people I had to so much conflict with. We joined a local church that seemed welcoming and open to our family. For the first couple of months, everything was going fine, until a peer of mine used a racial slur against my mother. I quickly defended my mother, and then the slurs changed and were directed at me. I couldn’t believe it! I was back in the same spot that I was in when we lived in the apartment. I was again being called names by people I thought could relate…

attended my last first year experience event; I attended the post-election discussion. This was by far the most interesting presentation I have been to. During this presentation, many topics were discussed about negativity and violence. It was a panel of people talking about their opinions on this historical and political election. As said in the beginning, one professor stated, “a man’s last name has now become simonious with negative change.” He said this was a problem because we need to…

comes to dating you want someone who is able to balance you out, vice versa.” Nevertheless, when we come to know others and our goal is simply to get along and to have a good time” (Maniaci & Reis, 2013). A relationship where there are two headstrong people wouldn’t work, or a relationship where both are sensitive just wouldn’t work. When it comes to the qualities, traits and characteristics there should be a few things in common when looking for a mate. You want someone that is mature, open,…

never had somebody to listen to my dreams, my sorrows, and my yearnings. Destiny itself decided to never give me a sister—well, a biological sister to be more specific. But as I grew up in my grandma’s big house, where there were more rooms than people living in it, I shared it the space with another person, my cousin, whose name it is too terribly complicated to write onto paper. I am aware of my ambiguity here, so I will explain further. Her real name is Katherine, but the way such name it is…

practically everywhere in this modern age. If someone has such a thing as “not enough” technology on their person, they are looked on as outcast. Who can blame them? As a civilization, human beings have shown great success in coming together and creating new technological advances every day. Just compare a modern day phone to one originally created in the early 90’s and one can feel justified in making a comment that the modern day phone has more in common with a “spaceship” than a phone whose…
