Brittney: The Power Of Human Will

I have selected Britney Spears as my subject for the reason that I realize that she has been through so much in her life and has a tendency to convey her emotions radically and live life on the edge most of the times. Moreover, I find it simply fascinating to scrutinize Britney Spears’ personality by means of the Psychoanalysis so as to offer deeper comprehension in investigating her personality. Even though this process of personality analysis is hardly ever employed today due to a deficiency of empirical verification and a disappointment to deal with any adulthood impact on personality, the approach’s stress on childhood development is a long way from without foundation. It permits for a fascinating and vibrant examination of

The sociocultural perspective focuses on the impact of social and cultural context on an individual. The theory stresses the interaction between developing people and the culture in which they live. This theory suggests that human development is largely involved with social process (“Contemporary Psychology: Sociocultural Perspective,” n.d.). That can produce variation or proliferation without any seemingly significant changes in complexity. Through time, producing a form of structure can be qualitatively different from the ancestral form. For example, if someone grew up kissing each other goodbye, they will most likely pass that onto your children.

Very few people in the world today have the willpower to over come great obstacles. Eric

Vince Lombardi once said, “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.” Most people throughout the world strive for success in whatever they may be doing, and along with this, many reasons contribute to why success is achieved or not. If a person does not succeed, they may automatically blame themselves because of their level of strength. Others may blame themselves for not having enough knowledge about what they are trying to succeed at. The real reason that people may not succeed, however, is their low level of will, determination, and happiness. Both knowledge and strength combine to help a person succeed because of the will and determination that

Willpower is determination. Whatever your will is. In source one, “The Willpower Circuit” written by Jonah Lehrer, is about an experiment that Walter Mischel did. He invited a four-year old student into a small room and made her an offer; she could eat one marshmallow immediately or wait fifteen minutes and have two marshmallows. Mischel told the child that if she rang the bell he would come back and she could have the one marshmallow, but that meant she wouldn't get her second marshmallow.

Kelly McGonigal defines willpower as choosing what matters and willing to agree with your values and goals even when some part of you doesn’t want to. Additionally, willpower is defined as the ability both to remember what matters most and the willingness to do things that support those goals even when self-doubt is present. She adds that there are three forms of willpower, I will, the willingness to continue when tired or bored, I won’t, the ability to resist and I want, the sense of what your morals are. Research reveals that we have limited willpower; it is possible to run out of willpower if you use it up. Kelly McGonigal is skeptical of this research, she believes what is limited is the ability to force ourselves to do things we don’t

In life, many people don’t do things because of fear. If you don’t do something because you coward out of it, then you will live the rest of your life regretting your decision wishing you had just done it. The regret you feel will follow you because that moment will never come again. There are many things that I had the opportunity to do but was too much of a coward. I forever wish that I had done these things and just went for it. I have lost count of times that I have said “no I am too scared,” and backed out of doing something. Or saying “I’ll do it next time,” You never know when next time is or if there even is a text time so you need to live in the now and do the things that scare you. You can’t live life saying you will do things; you actually have to do them.

We as humans love to think of ideas and plans that we will never actually follow through with. Humans get bored of their ideas really quickly when things don’t work out right away. Creating and preparing for the new idea is the part that we enjoy the most. Imagining the success of something is almost all one needs to be content with the idea that they will probably never undertake. Some prepare completely and then never follow through with their work for fear of never finding the “right” time to start. Those who wish and only dream about achieving something remain ignorant and never understand the value of hard work. The only worthwhile gain is in actual experience and in just trying even if one fails. When the hard work starts, people give up and are

Fear. Is it a way to motivate someone to get something done or get them to do something? Yes. It is a great way to get someone to do something and motivate them to do something. Threatening someone within an inch of their life would definitely get them doing whatever you tell them or ask them to do. If I was put into a situation where I was forced to use fear to get someone to do something I would and personally if someone used my fears to do something I would definitely do whatever they asked of me.

I 've been watching, along with the rest of the world, a very sad unraveling of a human life. The recent events in the life of Britney Spears may not be anything new in the world of celebrity, but it certainly has been one of the most "put on public display" breakdowns in recent entertainment history. I was talking to my children last night about how truly sad the whole situation is, and how more people need to comprehend that even if they were never a fan of Britney or her music, they still need to realize that this is a person who is struggling and definitely in need of help. I have read countless statements by people who have gone as far as to say that she should just "give up and die already.....I 'm tired of hearing about it." That is one of the more appalling statements I 've seen. I will go on record as saying I have not ever been a fan of her music, or thought she has made the best choices in her personal life perhaps (at least in how these things were portrayed in public), but in no way would I wish what she is going through on any human being. As someone who interviews musicians all the time, and now 1 celeb as well, it is more than ever clear to me that they are regular people like the rest of us. Would we expect to be treated that way if we were struggling? Does being in the public eye mean they put themselves out there for public ridicule and should just deal with it? I can only say that if she were my sister or daughter I would be in tears every day to see her

real-world reality fear indeed does limit our choices, like in the case of teenage girls and

I did an interview on my friend Caitlyn; she is a preschool teacher for a three-year-old classroom at a daycare. This year was her first year being a teacher after graduating college, so she is still fresh out of college, but still has experience. I gained a lot of insight from the interview.

We are all afraid of something. When I was young, I was once afraid of the dark and with that fear it thought me something; courage. Courage is a broad word and it is something that we should all carry in our minds and in our soul. It is something that we should know with deeper understanding because when we think of it, why is it so easy to say but is hard to apply in our life. Why do people choose giving up instead of being

The third reason people lose hope is a result of constant resistance in their efforts. It becomes very discouraging to an individual when they face opposition time after time, situation after situation. This resistance drains them of the energy needed to move forward. Over time, they will begin to slow down until they eventually stop producing results. Many people view resistance as abnormal, thinking it means they are on the wrong path. However, resistance occurs even when we are on the right track. Author, Steven Pressfield, wrote, “Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember our rule of thumb: the most scared we are of a work or calling, the surer we can be that we have to do it. Resistance is experienced as fear; the degree of fear equates to the strength of resistance. Therefore, the more fear we feel about a specific enterprise, the more certain we can be that that enterprise is important to us and the growth of our soul. That's why we feel so much Resistance. If it meant nothing to us, there'd be no resistance.”

People these days have so many differences in their pasts, present and what they have planned for the future. These people can be so different, but yet be such amazing friends regardless of the differences. This group of college students, all having very much different lives, were grouped together. The wild Brittney, the talented Andrew, and the friendly guy Ethan are the kids that make up this group.
