When we all go out into the world and we look around at everyone, our friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances, bosses, and even strangers what do we see? We tend to go and make assumptions or even categorize the people we talk to with simple types such as: “He is probably a nice guy.”, “She seems to be very serious.”, or “How can he be so lazy?”. But when we do those types of things such as categorizing or even placing people in a certain type of thought to ourselves is actually very practical and realistic. Everyone has a different type of feel to them, a type of trait or uniqueness to them, and say if we were to go and take that idea and delve into it a little deeper and try to figure out how some people are similar or even different, and take what makes them them and then use the information gained for practical purposes.Though there are many different types of people in the world, if we are able to learn how they will act towards certain topics then we will be able to perhaps even negotiate between diplomatic ties or even conduct a successful business merge and will create a way to a better future. With the new found information the we could gain from the research and studies that we could do in the future then take that information the we have gained and bring it together with past logs of former researchers and scientist to confirm whether or not we could truly be able to use this understanding for the better. Just imagine a time when we could simply take a moment to
Knowledge, the key to progress, has proven to be a human being’s most powerful and significant weapon. We gain knowledge when we put our brain to work at the problems we need to solve in life. It doesn’t matter what we are trying to accomplish, whether it be creating a new technology or learning how to put together a puzzle, the matter of fact is that both request great examination and research to resolve and learn. Scientific research is a technique used to investigate phenomena, correct previous understanding, and acquire new knowledge. Knowledge could lead us to a possible cure for cancer, an alternative for fossil fuels, and the creation of a revolutionary technology. Nevertheless, all these benefits are a reason why
How do people behave? What makes us act the way we do? There are as many different answers as there are people. Each person is a unique makeup of individual characteristics which blend together to form the personality, the behavior of the person. We can identify certain broad characteristics of groups of people and apply them to individuals to get an idea of how they will behave in a given situation. This is called stereotyping and, when taken too far, will give a distorted picture of what to expect of a persons behavior. While you can never get a fully accurate picture of how someone will behave based on their demographics and characteristics, you can make certain general guesses that will point
Discoveries can challenge our preconceived ideas about ourselves and others, allowing us to experience things in a different way than we otherwise would. Grant’s speech explores
The modern world and the last four generations have been dramatically shaped by a diverse range of human activities such as the advancement in social technology, revolving attitudes toward social works ethics, demographic traits, statistical and economic changes etc. People are the basis of each change evident in the current world. Past and progressing events are due to the information from surrounding societies. Nature of the human beings and characteristics has followed the suit of previous human lifestyles. Qualities of individuals are not natural but in most cases developed, experienced from the community, learned, and adapted from the perception of the world. Individuals’ personality has been transformed by colleagues. Actions and
In the end many of us are the same. For example we are all humans, and we each have our own brain.Yet we are different,likewise we each have our own unique personalities, we are all different races. The authors of these books have emphasized the similarities and the differences that we have as human beings in the eyes of flock who are different from society to a girl who looks and acts like everyone
Out of around 7.347 billion people in the world, there is not one person who is the exact same. We all have physical differences, we all talk differently, think differently, we have different interests, motivated differently, different drives, desires, we all have different goals and dreams.
Humans are the results of the challenges that they have faced through the journey of life. During that journey, humans have learned and adapted to the changing and, sometimes, the harsh time periods. However, they have learned from their journey and brought new changes that greatly benefited the human society. For example, the civil rights movement, largely, was to convince the Caucasian-led society and government to end discrimination and racial segregation against African Americans. Eventually, their “destination” was reached which is the passing of the Civil Rights Act, but that could never happen if they had not gone through the journey. The experiences that they faced during the movement had changed them forever, while they were bringing
Assumption 1: Individuals are unique due to past experiences, their culture, moral values, and personal interests. Often people with similarities will be attracted to each other.
comparing them to each other and our own. Studying it reminds us that all humans
Since our infancy we learn about behavior through the experiences and the knowledge that we get by observing other people or having relations with them. Living in society leads us to watch and try to explain the way people behave. But that is not always easy. Sometimes we cannot understand even ourselves. Psychology comes to give answers to all this uncertainty.
Many times I have attempted to comprehend the actions of other people. I always wanted to know why people of different genders, descents, and colors had certain cultural, societal, and religious beliefs. It became apparent to me that all persons are a direct reflection of their environment. In other words, all persons unconsciously, and sometimes consciously, reflect and imitate their environment and
People have two basic assumptions when it comes to human nature. We assume collectively that human nature is inherently good, or that human nature is inherently evil. The way these assumptions are made is through the experiences and perspectives that people have on certain situations. People can choose to believe in the good or believe in the bad, which makes humans unique from the rest of the life on Earth. No one will be able to look at a person and automatically understand their backgrounds which allows people to surprise others with their actions.
Furthermore how would we be able to transfer all of our knowledge to the next person, better yet, how would we improve our capacity of knowledge as a whole. We
The innate human desire to understand the world is organized into careful ways of colleting, analyzing, and sharing the
As diverse characters of the planet, we entirely perceive our surroundings through our very own paradigm, which is shaped based on identity. When seeing the world through a paradigm one is effectively viewing and interpreting through a certain filter. For example, if a scientist is observing an art piece, he may not be able to perceive it through the artist’s paradigm and in order to be a critic of the art, he must understand what the illustrator is trying to portray. Because art can vary from a detailed painting in such dull colors to a bright coloured rectangle, and to look at it through a scientific paradigm he will not understand the story behind the art piece. This rectangle could represent someone’s entire life, as would the detailed painting. And for one to view it through an extremely different paradigm, they may not see past the ‘pretty picture’ or ‘plain rectangle’.
