Perfectionism

Perfection is unreachable but we still stick our hands out and try to grasp it. What is perfection? Perfections is trying to please and make you seem superior to the ones around you. No one strives to be perfect for themselves because there is no point. “It’s on the internet, the television, their cell phone, at the gym. They can’t get away from it.” (Pursuit Of Perfection NP). People see perfection and realize the feel like they have to be the same way. They feel like they have to fit in with the general public. Perfection is the idea that “I have to fit it” People want to be the same models or hot people they see everyone liking and trying to achieve the unsuccessful success that they have. Going about life is like a game of simon says. People

NO was determined in the form of nitrate according to the method described by Tracey et al(21) . In this study, we have modified the Griess-Illosvoy reagent and used naphthyl ethylene diamine dihydrochloride (0.1% w/v) instead of 5% 1-napthylamine. 3 ml of reaction mixture contained 2ml of liver homogenates and 0.5 ml of phosphate buffer saline and incubated at 25°C for 150 min. A pink colored chromophore was appeared. We took the absorbance of these solutions at 540 nm using the corresponding blank solutions. A standard curve was used to measure NO level and results were expressed in nmol/ml.

It took me a couple of days to decide what book to choose. When I finally chose and was ready to start my paper, I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do. I think that I have a good idea of what to do, however, I wasn't positive. I wrote my paper even though I wasn't sure that I was doing it right. By the time I had even thought to contact my professor it was the night it was due. I had already wrote and proofread the assignment, however, I didn't feel that I was doing it right. Panic began to rise in my chest as j realized that I had to pass this assignment if I wanted a chance of passing the class. I had to turn it in now because the time was just after eleven forty. I clicked submit not even aware that I didn't feel the need to make sure it was the right assignment. I was really nervous to get the results back. I had to pass. When I got the email that it was graded I hesitated. When I worked up the courage to read the feedback. I felt a grin make its way onto my face. I had passed this assignment with flying

Do you push yourself to be the best? Do you get mad at yourself for not doing the best? Do you delay assignments till the last possible limit because of fear of rejection? Do you feel horrible when work isn’t done to your best ability of when minor failures seem like catastrophic ones? These are all signs of what is known as perfectionism (Pacht 1984). If you seem to agree with most of these things then you might be a perfectionist. According to Webster’s dictionary, it states that perfectionism is "a disposition which regards anything less than perfect, unacceptable." Many people in the world suffer from perfectionism. So is that case of Mike Bellah. His perfectionism lead him to a lifestyle where he lost

mediation analysis showed that the link between the socially prescribed aspect of perfectionism and burnout (emotional exhaustion) was mediated by workaholism.

Being diagnosed, and living with OCD each, and everyday myself, I have heard people repeatedly say they have OCD, when all they do is like to make sure their laundry is washed, folded correctly, and they don’t like when other people touch their laundry, and don’t wash, or fold it “their way”. Let’s get one-thing straight: This’s Perfectionism; not OCD!

The idea of perfection developed by the media, consists of the characteristics tall, blonde, and simply unrealistic. The photoshopped pictures of these idealistic women are all over magazines and billboards. Women conform themselves to try to meet these standards through plastic surgeries, crazy exercise routines and potentially deadly diets. A combination of outside influences and genetics can drive women to major mental disorders.

From the time I was in about fourth or fifth grade I began to dislike certain subjects in school. I loathed everything about writing assignments. I didn’t write at home before that the thought of writing for myself never really occurred to me. I hated the deadlines the length requirements and I just tried to get them done and had no intention of writing well because I told myself I was a bad writer. I have never really known whether or not I truly am a bad writer. I continued these habits of just writing something down to get a decent grade all throughout school. I usually got an okay grade because I followed the prompt closely and did the minimum amount of work for the paper. I didn’t start the assignments until either the night before it was due. As I got older I would type the paper on my phone in school that day then print it off in the library moments before class. I continued writing in that awful ritual of complacency until the end of 11th grade. We had to write a paper on The Great Gatsby a book that I never read. I read couple of notes on the internet and then wrote the paper and never reread it or edited it all. I did my usual routine and followed the prompt and turned my paper in. When I got my paper back I was shocked to find out I didn’t get even a half decent grade I was given a zero. I went to my teacher after class to speak with him about the grade and he told me I got the grade that I deserved. He said I was lazy and never tried to truly work in

During my freshman year, what I viewed as the worst possible event happened, (PAUSE) I got a B on my report card. I know that sounds dramatic but freshman me thought my world was ending. I now know that a B is a perfectly acceptable grade and that it's not the end of the world. But this raises the question, why did I think that a B was such a bad thing? Last year I worked on figuring out why I viewed B's as a bad thing. The end result of my thinking was that I am a perfectionist. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines perfectionism as “refusal to accept any standard short of perfection.” The reach for perfection can be painful because it is often driven by both a desire to do well and a fear of the consequences of not doing well. The problem is

American culture, afraid of hard work suppresses perfectionism, a trait closely tied to a strong work ethic. So many articles and papers explain the detrimental effects of striving for perfectionism; the website, Psychology Today says, “Perfectionism may be the ultimate self-defeating behavior. It turns people into slaves of success—but keeps them focused on failure, dooming them to a lifetime of doubt and depression.”

Chapter 6 of our textbook talks about the concept of the early childhood educator as a model. Whether they realize it or not, teachers are constantly modeling behaviors and attitudes for their students. Some of these behaviors and attitudes provide good examples for students and others serve as poor examples. My tendency toward perfectionism is one habit I don't wish to model for my future students. As a perfectionist, I would often, and sometimes still do, strive for unattainable standards, be very self-critical and try hard to avoid failure at all costs.

To be perfect is impossible. But the ability to achieve the impossible is the temptress. Perfectionism has been described as a multidimensional personality disposition. Indicating that the multiple dimensions can show either different or opposite correlations with maladaptive or adaptive psychological processes (Stoeber, Corr, Smith, & Saklofske, 2016). It is a personality disposition that can be characterized by a striving for flawlessness and setting exceedingly high standards for oneself. These standards can pertain to performances that are subsequently accompanied by self-critical evaluations and the perception that others expect one to be perfect (Stoeber, 2016; Stoeber, Edbrooke-Childs, & Damian, 2016). Perfectionism is a disposition that pervades all areas of life including but not limited to work, school, personal appearance, and social relationships (Stoeber, Edbrooke-Childs, & Damian, 2016).

Perfectionism has been in a centre of attention of sport psychologists for last few decades and even though a ‘research boom’ already provided many interesting findings, the topic offers plenty of other areas to investigate.

Throughout the day I had teachers telling me about all the upcoming homework and the homework differences and how much i’m going to get and all the other homework stuff. Every teacher is different. But it is mostly reading and writing and math that gave me all the homework. On man, I can remember all the homework I got from my math teacher. I got homework everyday and sometimes I would so mad or tired of it I wouldn't do it. Ok well… not sometimes, but often. It’s not good, I know. I feel like I broke a record of most missing assignments of the year. Or at least the top 10. I had 44 missing assignments! Although, at the same time my missing assignments weren't getting reset or removed at the beginning of every quarter. I remember running around the commons almost every morning to escape my math

Capital punishment, seen by some as a justifiable way to punish offenders of a crime. Seen by others as an uncivilized and inhumane action carried out by the corrections system. Easily seen as one of the most controversial issues in society. There are many different factors that go into death penalty cases. One factor involves the burden that the death penalty puts on those involved in the case. The question lies in what is considered burdensome. A burden is subjecting a person to experiences that are unpleasant or hard to deal with. When a person is dealing with a burden, one may show symptoms of depression, being burnout, and anxiety. By asking target driven questions, a conclusion could be drawn as to whether one group has more of a burden than another group. The answers given by attorneys involved in death penalty cases compared to attorneys that never deal with capital punishment will be evaluated. The differences in these answers could drive the conclusion that the death penalty is too burdensome on society.
