R. Cain Summary

Briefly summarize the content of the lecture and the highlights of the Q&A session (if any)

Finally, Zuckerman (1969) suggests that the environmental stimulation sought by individuals is not necessarily related to extroversion. It may simply be as a result of boredom, which arises from increased rather than decreased

When Ehrenreich was searching the job in job fair, she found it was wasting time. As she asked another job-seeker in fair whether coming to job fair was worthwhile, he answered that “I go to them anyway. It makes me feel like I am doing something” (196). This is an example showing that a person has no understand about the self. Dewey also states that “more fundamental is the fact that the great majority of workers have no insight into the social aims of their pursuits and no direct personal interest in them” (Dewey, 66). That is to say, most people struggling in transition, they only pursue the job for the expectation from other, and they lack of thinking about their selves. Therefore, they have to require more and more help from government and institution such as networking and career coach, and follow the way other people make for

In her article Shyness: Evolutionary Tactic? author Susan Cain addresses many of the preconceived notions society has against introverted people. Cain argues that society tends to favor the outgoing and extroverted and shames those who prefer to be alone rather than socialize. The author utilizes certain writing strategies as a way to change her audience’s original views surrounding introversion. Cain’s use of comparing and contrasting, specific examples, and strong transitions that bridge various ideas to each other make her argument, that introverts are essential to society, much more persuasive.

Susan Cain, a well known and appreciated writer from America in the field of psychology, recently held a speech on one of the famous TED talks and entirely captured me by trying to give the audience an understanding of introversion.

Susan Cain’s Ted Talk The Power Of Introverts brought a new conversation to society in how introverts are treated. Five years ago (when this took place) this topic was not very well discussed, which made this piece very eye opening for some. Using Aristotle's appeals: logos and pathos, as well as a comparative argument in her ted talk, Cain persuades viewers that we as a society oppress/shame introverts, not allowing them to strive or be themselves in our now extroverted society. She advocates for a more balanced society that serves both introverts and extroverts instead of just extroverts.

In the Of Course of Cain by William Goldhurst, he brought up many critical points throughout his thinking that helped me reinforce my own interpretations. First Off, in the beginning of Mice and Men I felt that Lennie and George’s dream of living a better life was very non-existent. They had little hope on finding that dream until they came to the bunkhouse and met someone else trying to accomplish the same goals. After realizing that their dream could be accomplished with the help of Candy their small dream became a huge reality. As Steinbeck emphasizes his opinion it helps me reinforce my own interpretations of hardships and hopes throughout the book. Another part of this reading that helps me reinforce my interpretations is that the killing

As human beings, we different from one another. We are created with a lot of character traits. We all can gain knowledge about our own personalities, we develop our perceptive about strengths and weaknesses, and clarify what we truly value as individuals. The Myers Brigg personality assessment classified me as an Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving (ISFP) personality type. Results showed slightly Introvert 16 %, sensing 12%, feeling 19%, and perceiving 3%. Throughout this paper I will analyze the diverse parts of my own personality traits and how those traits have effected both my personal and my working environment.

This book is intended for everyone. Everything in it can be applied to all aspects of anyone’s life, not just business management. Pink tells about a boy named Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi whose country was under Soviet control World War II. Csikszentmihalyi, in his early teens, “was understandably weary of compliance and looking for engagement” (110). Eventually, he left home for a better life in the United States where he earned a Ph.D. in psychology and studied creativity which “took him to the study of play” (111). He discovered an insight about the human experience in which in the midst of an activity, people enjoyed “autotelic experiences” (111). In such an experience, the activity is self-fulfilling. This anecdote indirectly shows that people

Susan Cain, an American writer and lecturer and an author of the renowned book “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can`t Stop Talking”(“Susan Cain,” 2016). She argues in her book that this modern age devalues and misapprehends the proficiencies that introverts bring to the world. In addition, she believes that the best works that the world has ever seen were made by introverts. In other words, she adds on that groups or cooperates inventions are not ads on the invention. Examples of introverts that have shocked the world with their inventions are Leonardo da Vinci i.e. the world’s best artist, Steve Jobs i.e. the founder of Apple and much more.

Susan Cain’s “Power of Introverts” talk was all about the importance of people who are considered introvertly inclined in our society. In her talk, she described first how her family influenced her in being an introvert. Reading is her family’s social activity and that one can roam around through his or her own imagination. She also discussed about her memorable summer camp story where she has discovered the way extrovert people live and tried to shift in this kind of life. With all these changes in her life she never left her introverted life and espoused the ideas that when it comes to creativity and leadership, the society needs introverts and the things where they excel most. She explained that introversion is how one responds to stimulation including social stimulation which is different from a person being shy – the fear of social judgment.

Lawrence Roberts is the antagonist which is the opposing force. At the beginning of the passage he was a cold-hearted harsh man. For instance he saw Miguel Diaz eating a bagel earlier in the week and assumes he was lethargic and gluttonous. The passage also specified that Lawrence relished firing him. As you can see Lawrence Roberts had a black heart he was very insensitive. The rising action in the story was when he pulled up to an expensive Italian restaurant he looked to the passenger side and saw the ghost of the bother which scared his Lawrence to death. It went on and his brother was telling him of his mistakes. The passage also stated that his brother showed him the future of what would happen when Miguel told his wife about being fired

When people hear the word introvert, they usually think of someone who is quiet, shy and keeps to themselves. The word introvert generally has a negative connotation associated with it, but Susan Cain argues in a Ted talk called “The power of introverts” that being an introvert is actually a good thing. In her argument, Cain uses ethos, logos, and pathos to appeal to her audience and this essay will analyze how she does so.

As Csikszentmihalyi said, “leisure that uses external resources requires less attention and as a consequence, it provides less memorable rewards” (99). The author gives a several examples of how different cultures experienced flow during their leisure time. The ancient Welsh would challenge each other in riddling games and he even called these riddle competitions the “most stimulating intellectual events” (122). Additionally, in order to avoid being filled with despair concerning their hostile environment, Icelanders would create or recite poems and songs from memory that succeeded in ordering their consciousness. In past years, I have unknowingly yet effectively used these two tactics myself in order to cope with hard environments or to avoid entropy. Often times in the military, we would get sent to the most remote and desolate environments as part of a deployment or training mission. During these excursions, most of our days were spent sitting around fighting off boredom in either blistering temperatures or brutally freezing winds. My friends and I would frequently commit to hour long sessions of riddle and puzzle games attempting to outwit each other. Additionally we would spend countless hours a day either creating songs or reconstructing popular songs from memory. The activities often erupted spontaneously and were repeatedly successful in improving the quality of our experience. We became willing to do these activities just for the sake of it, they became an autotelic experience and because of them, we were able to experience flow and genuinely enjoy ourselves in an otherwise dreadful
