Recommended: The Importance of Honor

“She’s so mean and stuck up.” People acknowledge my independence as threatening or intimidating. I don’t have to rely on others for my happiness. I wont be dishonest or sugar coat things to make you accept me. I don’t tolerate ignorance or disrespect from anyone. Nor will your opinions affect or mold me as an individual. Being able to stand on your own shouldn’t be frowned upon, but nonetheless it happens everyday. “She’s never smiling when I see her in the halls”. As if that should describe the type of person I am internally. Does one have to smile endlessly to be a favorable person? When spoken too, I am polite. If wrong is being done, I stand up for what is right. I do a tremendous amount for others and receive less than I put out. Accepting

    Imagine a person who goes to a job interview. The interviewer’s first question may be an easy one-- “what is your name?” The response to such a simple question is automatic, requiring no thought. Now imagine that the second question asked is “who are you, and how do you know?” The interviewee may grapple for the right words to say and sheepishly list a variety of personality traits, which he is supposedly endowed with because his friends “told him so.” A person is able to know who his true self is not by outward confirmation from others, but through self-observation, taking note of how he acts when he is alone, untainted by the influences of family members and friends. In a society which judges people harshly, it is unsurprising that people act differently alone than when in the company of others; thus, to be a genuine person is to act the way one feels inwardly despite external influences such as peer pressure, which causes one to act in a way which is not consistent with his or her values and beliefs. Being authentic is a special breed itself, as it requires courage to live by how one truly feels and not to live by the opinions of others. Through the changing of core beliefs and numbing of emotions, some people choose to live

  • Analysis Of Deborah Tannen But What Do You Mean

    In her article “But What Do You Mean” Deborah Tannen, claims that there is a huge difference in the style of communicating between men and women. Tannen breaks these down into seven different categories; apologies, criticism, thank-yous, fighting, praise, complaints, and jokes. With each of these she compares men to women by explaining the common misconceptions that each of the genders do. The different style of communication can cause some problems at the workplace and even affect the environment.

She is primarily successful with women due to the fact that her tone targets women, also the organization

    The t tests also showed no differences between fathers’ and mothers’ rating of guilt, anger, disappointment or worry. The correlations between the four emotions were examined separately for fathers and mothers. The range was from .23 (for guilt and worry in mothers) to .56 (anger and disappointment in fathers). When it came to career success, both mother and father were associated with the emotion of disappointment, which means both parents are equally invested in their child’s career success. On the contrary, poor relationship status was associated with only mothers with emotions of disappointment, guilt and worry. The author suggests that it is important to consider parents’ negative emotions in context to better understand the connection between gender, emotion and parent

  • The Characteristics Of Intellectual Humility

    1527 Words  | 4 Pages

    On a scale between intellectual courage and intellectual cowardice, I lean strongly towards intellectual courage (8-9). I believe one of the main reasons this is so is because I am compassionate but stubborn. I’ve always taken the opportunity to listen to other’s viewpoints so that I can understand why they think, speak or act the way they do. My stubbornness allows myself to listen but continue to think a specific way. An example of this is when my best friend moved out of her mother’s house her sophomore year of high school. I gave her support, listened to her reasons behind moving and picked her up whenever she fell down, but I never could get past her decision. She reasoned she wasn’t getting the discipline and attention she needed, while I, as a bystander, saw both sides of the situation and found that both my best friend and her mother lacked and fought for each other’s attention unknowingly. Before my best friend realized the negative impact she made with her decision, it was too

  • Personal Characteristics: An Analysis Of The Theory Of Personality

    1299 Words  | 3 Pages

    When it comes to openness, I’m more practical, traditional, and most comfortable in familiar surroundings. I tend to focus more on things that are more concrete and straightforward rather than abstract. People who score low in openness tend to have more conservative political views and enjoy mainstream entertainment rather than going to the opera or ballet. I fall into both of those, I vote conservatively, and I would much rather listen to pop music and see a movie rather than an opera. I do understand the importance of art though and enjoy some things that people who score lower in openness don’t. I don’t consider myself to be completely conservative, as I lean more liberal on some issues. Another characteristic of openness I don’t feel like I completely fall into is not enjoying arts. I appreciate art, and enjoy going to art museums and theater performances. So, while I don’t score highest in this, I don’t believe that I am not at all open to experience. Lastly, I score low in agreeableness. Those who score low in this tend to put their own needs and interests in front of others. While, I don’t think I’m completely untrusting of others and selfish, I do tend to show those traits sometimes. I am selfish when it comes to people I’m not close to, and I think this stems from me not being open and comfortable around new people. I think I can tie in my insecurity and being more reserved into why I am like this. When I meet a person, I don’t automatically trust that they are good and nice, it takes time for me to get to know them and make sure that they are. I am untrusting and selfish, but only at the beginning of my relationships. I don’t think these are necessarily negative traits to possess, I believe that if you’re trusting of everyone and completely self-less you’ll be taken advantage of. Although you shouldn’t be completely trusting of every single person you meet I also don’t believe
