Walking Assignment Every human being is very different and has special characteristics. Their physical characteristics and how they present themselves show their personality. No one is identical to another. Walking is something most humans are taught at a young age. Although we are basically all taught same way, we each have such a unique walk. A person’s walk can also change over time due to age and posture. How would you describe your walk? Do you think your walk represents your personality? People have told me they can recognize me from far away, because of my walk. Some say I walk with a lot of “swag” while others say I walk very poised. I guess it just depends on the time of day and the mood I’m in. My body type is shaped like a rectangle. My lack of wide …show more content…
He shuffles his New Balance sneakers, all around the room. He acts as if he were to lift his feet, he would float away. His feet slightly curve in with every step and this causes him to trip over his feet. He bends a lot at the knee and has a slight bounce, like I do. Some days he’ll come into class with this big, robot looking brace around his left knee. This causes his walk to change for that day. He cannot bend his knee as easily with the brace on. What he does because of this is swing his leg around and positions it under his body. He has a limp the days he wears the brace and doesn’t seem to walk around as much. Walking is a very fortunate ability we have and some take it for granted. Imagine not being able to get up and walk every day. How different would your life be? Walking can help with showing different moods. People that are happy and cheerful normally have a more confident, open walk. People that are sad tend to be hunched over, looking at the ground. Everyone has such different personalities and physical characteristics which causes them to walk in a certain way. In a way, it helps us express who we are as a
Walking in modern society is seen as a tool to get from one place to another. However, philosophers explore the idea that walking can be much more than just a means of transportation. Walking is a catalyst for the brain it helps increase brain function subsequently forming more articulate thoughts. I’ve noticed that the surroundings in which you choose to saunter play a big role in your thought process as well. Walking home on the streets of Berkeley compared to hiking through the mountains of Tahoe, I noticed a difference in my thought process. While in the mountains I felt much more relaxed and mentally clear, compared to when I was walking to my house I felt stressed and in a rush to get home. This idea is supported by the works of Rebecca

An Orthopedic Impairment is the most common of physical disabilities. A physical disability is any condition that interferes with how a child uses their body. An Orthopedic Impairment is defined as, “A bodily impairment that is severe enough to negatively affect a child’s educational performance” (education). Orthopedic Impairments are often separated into three main categories. These categories are neuromotor impairments, musculoskeletal disorders, and degenerative diseases. Although neuromotor impairments typically involves the brain and spinal cord, they can also affect a child’s ability to move, use, feel, or control certain parts of their body. Musculoskeletal disorders include diseases of the bones and muscles, such as limb deficiency or club-foot. Degenerative diseases affect a child’s motor skills such as muscular dystrophy. This is a group of genetic diseases in which muscle fibers are very vulnerable to damage. Some causes of orthopedic impairments can be genetics, injury, birth defects, disease, burns, fractures, cerebral palsy, and many other circumstances. Some examples of orthopedic impairments that may be caused by a birth defect are clubfoot, spina bifida, and absence of or malformation of one for more limbs. Some examples that may be caused by a disease consist of muscular dystrophy, arthritis, and childhood obesity. Other causes of orthopedic impairment may contain fractures, which cause stiff and/or immobile joints called contractures.

The book “Walking Home”, written by Eric Walters takes place in the African country Kenya. The weather in the book is often described as hot and sunny, with a few days of rainfall. Most of the area is very dry with some trees and hedges but not much else. Locals talked about giraffes, elephants and lions roaming the area but except for one lion encounter, they didn’t see many animals.
“What a contrast with the inhabitants of my town, ”he commented, “People who, when they walked, studied their manner of walking so that their slow strut made them appear solemn, with the thumb of the right hand hooked in the belt of the pants, with the cap tilted over the right eye, trying to create an arrogant air that should command respect.” (Hank Messick and Burt Goldblatt 7).
Each person has a unique personality that defined who they are in a certain way. Although as humans we all have the same human traits. As human our personality trait is different in so many ways such as, no two people are alike or share the same experience of life. However, personality is the state of expressing you are or your behaviors. Also, personality is something that people will always take with them because it affects their feeling, thinking, and behaviors.

Hemiparesis that affects the peroneal nerve preventing dorsiflexors muscles from lifting the toes up when walking causes the toes to drag, impairing gait. Hemiparesis can also affect the knee flexor and extensor muscles which are important for “shock absorption, assisting with foot clearance and balance control” (Sadeghi, H. et al., 2002, p. 51). Physical therapists know that poor gait can affect the pelvis, lower back, spine and neck as the body tries to compensate for unilateral weakness of the lower limbs. The sooner a patient can achieve normal gait the less likely they are to suffer permanent damage and the quicker they can return to their normal lives and activity levels.
Jo Vergunst (2010) also draws upon gestures to understand the way humans can walk through the streets and not come into a head on with all the people that are also on their own journey. The demands of city life are upbeat, and our walking has to succumb to this life style, which often it does, as majority of humans do not want to look out of place, or be in the way of others. Personally, I find it hard to hear a rhythm and not walk along to it, or swing my arms in a rhythmic fashion. However, this does not just go for when I am listening to music while walking to work, but also to the sound of cars speeding by, the sound of other people’s shoes on the ground and even the sounds of construction workers on the streets. Jo Vergunst also draws upon gestures and body within his article, which strengthens and supports the idea of rhythm

An expression of a trait from one’s feeling is considered a personality. A personality has can be based off person’s behavior, physical appearance, and even one’s mentality.

I feel as though the E, extravert, suits me very well. I love being around other people, especially my friends and my family, and I feel as though when I am around others I am always energetic, and outgoing. Also I am a great conversationalist I love starting conversations, especially with new people, I love hearing what others have to say, and I love telling others about myself. I also believe that the S, the sensing type,suits me very well too. I feel like I am a very precise person, and aim for perfection in things. I also feel like I am a very down to earth person, and very practical with things. Lastly, is very precise with my work, whenever I work on something, I work very hard, and I check it over and over again until it's as perfect as it can get. As for the F, the feeling type, I feel as though it also suits me very well. I am always aware of how other people feel, and I am always there for them. For example one day my sister was upset because she got a bad grade on her test, and I cheered her up by making a bun of jokes and just being funny, and it made me feel very good to see her smile after she was upset for a while. Also whenever there is a conflict whether it's between my friends or my family I always try to stay out of it, so I can help resolve the conflict, and a lot of times I have helped solve many conflicts. One of my biggest pet peeves is telling people unpleasant things, I feel

Our personalities are what distinguish us from each other beyond our appearance; without them, we would all behave and react in the same way. Personality is the reason we are outgoing or introverted, persistent or blaze, and anxious or calm. We each have different levels of these competing characteristics that make us unique. But why are personalities so varied? Personality is determined by an array of factors from genetic and biological to the personal experiences and decisions we have faced from the day we are born. The complexity of our personalities cannot be simply explained, and for this reason there exists many different theories of how it’s developed and personality is still deeply under study.
