Reflection Of Personal Life

My particular perspective of human nature is that humans are molded by the world around them and it’s influences. We choose whether we do good or bad based upon our experiences. The connections, relationships, and everyday actions that humans choose to have are all based on events that have occurred throughout a person’s life. I believe that, while the direct environment and rearing that a human has will always be a part of that person’s life, it does not define them or

The nature vs nurture issue has been a controversial argument among psychologist for decades. This argument exposes two different views. One of them emphasizes that our personality depends solely on genetics (nature). On the other hand, the second view suggests that humans “develop through experience” (Myers 2013, SG 6) (nurture).

As many people have begun to pay attention to formation of personality, the debate over nature vs. nurture has raged for a long time and this issue is still controversial. However, as shown the

The topic of research was Biological Influences on Personality: Temperament. Personality is not just something we learn, there are also biological influences that help shape a person’s personality. Our book refers to temperament as biologically based emotional and behavioral tendencies that are evident in early childhood (Cervone D., & Pervin, 2015 p.488). Each article provided an insight on how biology plays an important role in our personality/temperament.

Donald Trump meets the legal requirements to be the President of the Unites States of America: he is a native born United States citizen, he is older than thirty-five years of age, and he has lived in the United States for fourteen years; but sixty percent of Americans still believe that he is not qualified to be president. The president has an important role in our country, so it is important that whoever is selected can be trusted to be fair and honest in that position. Donald Trump, on many occasions, has shown that he would not be a fair, accepting leader. He openly discriminates against Immigrants, African Americans, women, and countless others. Although he is a successful businessman and would be able to run the country as a business,

One of the oldest and most argued studies in psychology would have to be differentiating between nature, if we were born with specific biological and hardwired characteristics or if we are nurtured into the person we are today, meaning our characteristics are influenced by the things we are taught, things we have learned, and the people present in our lives at any given time. When you are born your mind is like a blank slate but as you grow you develop your own identity. Genes capture the evolutionary responses of past ancestors to the selection on behavior. Environmental diversity gives us the opportunity to adjust to changes during our own lifetime. The nature versus nurture debate relates to many controversies such as intelligence, gender identities, violent behaviors, and sexual orientation. If you believe your personality develops as you grow and gain experience then you take the nurture side in this debate but if you believe you have always had a set personality that has been present since birth then you take the nature side in this debate. Many people believe the two correlate when it comes to the upbringing of a person and in determining individual differences in physical and behavioral traits. Recently both have come to be recognized as playing interacting roles in the development of a

As a relatively new student to psychology, there is a lot I don’t know about. However, one idea that has already been pounded into my head is that of nature vs. nurture. The debate over whether a person’s actions and mental processes are decided by their environment or their genetics. As an older brother, I have pondered such ideas many times. What is it that leads my brother and I to be so different. Where we raised differently or are we inherently different. One thing that is obviously true though, is that we are different.

The United States is currently a country that is fairly diverse. In the near future the U.S. is projected to have no racial or ethnic group as it majority. As a result of this change our country would officially be a multicultural society. This change would bring some challenges as well as some advantages for some people.

Life events might have the greatest effect on how our personality shapes up, the argument of nature – nurture might also come to have an impact on how we respond to events that shape our personality. Some people might have grown in a more peaceful environment but might come to find their temperaments are not friendly, on the

Developing a unique personality is a process by temperament, environment, and character. Some characteristics are already pre-determined by genetics. On the other hand, some characteristics are the result of how a child is brought up in his or her environment. Finally, the third aspect is character. Character is how a child thinks and grows morally. The forming of personality has long been a main argument of the nature versus nurture debate. Multiple of today’s psychologists and sociologists have said that neither nature or nurture can be the sole answer of how a person is the way they are. It is the balance between nature and nurture.

Opening my eyes slowly, I could see millions of cracks cascading my windshield. Trying to move, as the pain began jolting through my body. A surprised voice, grabbing my attention as I became conscious. He was telling me to stay still, as the sound of the saw ate away at my door. I realized then that I was in a terrible car accident and somehow, I survived. This was the moment that changed my life, the moment that Jesus took the wheel. Hours prior to that, I sat alone; sadden, angry and dumbfounded. How could a man I’ve loved for 17 years, love someone else? Thoughts flooded my mind, as I tried drowning my pain with every bottle that hit my lips. Tears flowing down my face, as I slowly began to slip away. Wanting to forget every lie and hoping to erase all the years I sat blinded. The feeling of every breath escaping me, as the couch felt like the only comfort I had.

Recently, my headmaster at my school has requested for me to recommend a good class to take, regarding

The writing I did this semester for Engl 110c has meant alot to me because I was able to pick a topic that has such a huge impact in my life. I was able to do the topic about Navy Wives, which has a huge impact on me. I recently became a navy wife a year ago and my life has changed drastically. I was able to share everything I wanted to about the life of a military wife through my writings, as well as share to my classmates about my topic. I really enjoyed creating my ePortfolio because I could come out of my shell and be me. I made a ePortfolio website that would be for military wives to read. I believe this website would be perfect for any military wife reading it. I was able to give tips and information on what it’s like to be a military wife, how to prepare for deployments and how to stay strong being a military wife.

Last semester, in one of my classes, I was required to write a letter to God. I do not remember the exact words, but I do remember telling Him that I do make a lot of mistakes and I struggle with issues that Christians should not be dealing with. I told God that I am not sure that I am the type of Christian that others should look up to. Although I knew the Word, I prayed often and never missed church, I still felt a void on the inside of me. I often compared myself to Hannah. I felt a barrenness on the inside of me and I did not know how to fill it. On top of the spiritual emptiness I felt, I also had to deal with emotional stress. When I started attending Regent University, I had several fears that tried to prevent me from proceeding. First, I feared my status as a double minority in a field that is predominantly male would prevent many doors from being open to me regardless of my academic ability. Secondly, I feared having a background in engineering and not biblical studies would put me at a great disadvantage in my classes regardless of my knowledge of the Bible. Whenever someone asked me a question, I would have an answer, but I was not sure if I gave the right answer because I was never licensed as a minister as a pastor. My role within the church was as a server. I cooked, I cleaned, I played with the children, I visited people, I hugged people, I sewed and I loved working with my hands. In fact, I was the one who usually served the pastors and I loved my work. In

During Summer 2014, I took my first college course “Math 10: Elementary Algebra” also known as remedial math. However, ever since I can remember, I have always liked math and this seems to contradict how I started my college career. My interest in math goes back to second grade when I received a 100 on my report card. In Bangladesh, grades are believed to reflect one’s identity, so I took a greater interest in the subject thereafter. After moving to New York, I continued to enjoy the subject though the language barrier prevented me from fully understanding the “universal language.” My passion for math waned, yet never fully extinguished, until eleventh grade when I took geometry. I was fortunate to have a teacher who made the class more enjoyable than any math I have experienced before. It was then I entertained the idea of becoming a high school math teacher in the future.
