Recommended: Intellectual, emotional and social development

Humans are prone to change. Physical and mental change is inevitable because as we evolve we leave people behind while keeping a few friends close. Change is not only subjected to the physical such as growing as we age older but mental what you believe as right or wrong can alter as we grow in maturity. What you believe and what you perceive can depend on the environment in which you reside. A relative of mine is a prime example of how people naturally evolve to become the man or women they are today. What I thought of him before in comparison to what I think of him now is completely mind blowing.
My cousin was the most humble and sweetest guy growing up. He always loved and cared about everyone even if you did not love or like him in return. I always thought to myself that when I get to his age I want to be just like him I mean he knew The Lord, he was humble, caring, and which ended up to be his downfall very handsome. At that time I just loved him because he was the one who always looked out for me and cared a great amount for me. He always took me to get ice cream when school was released he was in the eighth grade while I was in the sixth so he was always the guy who looked out for me and genuinely love my company. Although he was handsome he was not self absorbed meaning he didn't care about brand names or how his hair looked he could walk proudly no matter what he looked like, this was another aspect of him in which I could only wish to have. He was a superman he was what only people could wish to be. His life at home was not the best the place he lived was full of temptations and it took a strong person to withstand such hard tribulations, but he was my super man so he could do anything. My mom knew it was time for my fam...

...atever he wanted to do he would do regardless. I still care for him even if he does not care for me. I called him, told him how I felt, how he had changed, and for the first time he did not listen he talked to me as if we were not family like we didn’t grow together.
My cousin and I have not talked since the summer, but he knows I am on his side always. I only want the best for him and in the end when all his short term friends are gone I will always be there to take him to get ice cream and listen to his life drama. I used to believe he was my superman but he was not; he was only a shadow of what I want to grow to be. I know that person whom I once knew is still somewhere inside him but it is merely up to him to relocate the person that once existed. Change is inevitable, because time waits for no man, but it is up to you to change in a positive or negative manner.

    What does it take to make a human who they are? What influences affect each person in this spinning world of ours? Is it the parents and how much love each applies to raising an individual? Is it the environment to which they are born into? Humans are unpredictable at best, and when someone says they have humans figured out, they are proven wrong. We are creatures of habit who are never the same because of the very influences around us.

    Perhaps, despite consistent changes, our individuality is not completely renewed. Not renewed when trends are altered, or when we’ve lost interest in our former idols. Perhaps, when our minds are taken to think as another would, our individualities are only being transformed to fit that state. Change could very possibly be the number one ingredient necessary to loss of uniqueness. Humans can adjust quite quickly to different environments, and that maybe as much a curse as it is a gift. People change themselves too hastily, at times, not caring for the possibility that they are going against things they want, need and love.

  • The Four Seasons Analysis

    1032 Words  | 3 Pages

    It’s the year 2000, and a familiar song is being re-imagined by a French rapper. This is soon interrupted by Tommy DeVito, explaining that the 1975 song “oh what a night” by the Four Seasons, of which he was a member, is, in the year 2000, topping the charts in France for ten straight weeks. The setting then moves to 1950’s New Jersey where a teenage Tommy, looking to start a band with some of his Jersey buddies, discovers an angelic-voiced 15 year old named Frankie Castellucio. Before long, they form an unsuccessful group with the help of another kid from their working-poor New Jersey neighborhood, Nick Massi. After consistently failing to gain traction, the trio decides they need a fourth member, and, after going through several defective ones, enlist another neighborhood friend, who works at the bowling alley, to track one down. This impromptu talent scout, as it turns out, was a young Joe Pesci, far and away the most entertaining character in the musical. Pesci introduces the trio to Bob Gaudio, a talented singer, pianist and songwriter who had, at the age of 15, already written the hit song “short shorts”. Now, 17 and eager to prevent himself from becoming a one hit wonder, Gaudio joins the group. This begins a short period in which the group, which has been regularly changing its name due to its own indecisiveness, has absolutely no decent gigs or interest by record executives. This is until the group finds itself standing outside the electric sign of a club they failed to get hired by, a club by the name of The Four Seasons Suddenly inspired, Castellucio sees this sign and tells his buddies to turn around, at which point he says “oh my god, it’s a sign”. The group now decides to call itself The Four Seasons and Frankie chan...

  • Five Enduring Issues In Psychology

    668 Words  | 2 Pages

    Is the person we become a product of innate, inborn tendencies, or a reflection of experiences and upbringing? In other words, are we a product of genetics or our environment? I would say we are mostly products of the environment around us. Others might disagree but here is why I say that. Society is constantly changing. Is our kids going to grow up exactly like we did? The music we grow up listening to, the TV shows we watch, our families, and even politics influence us. For example, if somebody grows up around foul language then they think it is normal and just fine for everybody to talk like that. They do not know it is wrong so in turn they speak like that as well. As human beings we tend to want to be like others and fit

    My whole life, I have been presented to a single element called change. Change occurs in many different forms and is carried out in many different ways. However, just recently, I have come to the realization that change can be the deepest of all subjects. I always assumed that change occured when you moved to a new town or when you lost someone close to you. Those are elements to change, yes, but change doesn't have to occur over a single dramatic event. It can just happen overnight when your brain determines it's time to do something different.
