Interstellar
Crop blight has made growing food on Earth nearly impossible, threatening the existence of humanity. Joe Cooper, a widowed former NASA pilot, runs a farm with his father-in-law Donald, son Tom, and daughter Murphy. Murphy believes her bedroom is haunted by a poltergeist. When the "ghost" creates a pattern of dust on the floor, Cooper realizes an unknown intelligence is using gravity to communicate, and interprets the pattern as geographic coordinates, which Cooper and Murphy follow to a secret NASA installation.
There, they meet Dr. Brand, a college professor of Cooper's. Brand reveals that a wormhole, apparently created by an alien intelligence, appeared near Saturn 48 years before and leads to a distant galaxy, 10 billion

Murphy, now an adult, has been assisting Dr. Brand with his research. On his deathbed, he admits to her that he solved the equation long before and deemed Plan A impossible, and that he lied to everyone, pinning his hopes on Plan B. Murphy sends a message notifying Amelia of her father's death, then accuses her and Cooper of abandoning Earth. She continues researching, concluding that Plan A could work if somehow information could be obtained from observing Gargantua's singularity.
With limited fuel left, Cooper decides to go to Mann's planet, rather than Edmunds', as Mann is still transmitting. On arrival, they revive Mann, who has been in stasis. Mann assures the crew that while the frozen planet has an ammonia-laden atmosphere, the planetary surface is fit for human survival. However, when they are alone, Mann tries to kill Cooper, revealing that he falsified the data so he would be rescued. Mann then flees, intending to take the Endurance. Meanwhile, Romilly is killed by a booby trap Mann had set inside his own robot.
Amelia rescues Cooper, and they race to the Endurance, where Mann is attempting to dock. Mann defies Cooper's order not to open the airlock, which fails catastrophically. Mann is killed and the Endurance is severely damaged. Cooper manages to use the landing craft to stabilize the ship. Using the black hole's gravity as a slingshot, they set the ship on course to Edmunds'
Personality can be a hard concept to pinpoint, considering the many theories, conceptualizations, and facets of personality. Most can agree that no two people are the same. One individual will always differ from another in some way, shape or form. However, as I have learned in this class many of the theories group traits, or characteristics together, under certain categories to get a better representation of ones personality. For instance if a person gets energy from being in large groups, and enjoys being social they are going fall into the category of being an extravert. For me I believe my personal narrative has had a large impact on my personality and so I am going to start there.
The movie “Interstellar” takes place in a vast, desert of a land which is barely recognizable as the planet, Earth. America suffers severely from famine, dust storms, and lack of advanced technology. Due to a previous accident, as well as with the worldwide food shortage, Cooper, a former NASA pilot, now works as a farmer to produce the only food left in the world.
Observers often have a characteristic round-shouldered posture. Their necks are often not as well proportioned as other types and their heads seem to strain forwards. Their eyes have a sorrowful look about them as if they are about to be victimised in some way. Their noses are somewhat aquiline in shape which combined with often flattened cheekbones giving the false impression that their noses are large.
Assessment techniques and the techniques used are a part of every counselor’s career. It is important that all counselors are aware of the different assessment procedures available as well as the risks and benefits associated with them. I chose to assess the case of Jessica, a medical resident, who has a very high pace and stressful job. She is also a perfectionist and can be very self-critical. Lately, she feels that she is not performing at the level she once was. As a result, she has been experiencing feelings of shame and worthlessness. Jessica has also been increasingly fatigued yet is having difficulty falling asleep at night. She also admits having difficulty concentrating, little interest in sex and has become increasingly irritable
In this paper I will try to elucidate how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs shows the extent to which growth needs influence personality formation, also put into words how biological factors influence the formation of personality. Observe the relationship of biological factors to Maslow’s theory as well as explain the basic aspects of humanistic theory that are incompatible with biological explanations of personality.

“I think it's all nonsense myself,” Stephen said, his face reddening with annoyance. He got out of his chair. “Must be time to go.”
In the textbook, the author defines the meaning of personality, meaning “psychological qualities that contribute to an individual’s enduring and distinctive patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving.”(Cervone & Pervin, 2013) Then the texts break down from the definition the words enduring, distinctive, “contribute to” and the phrase “feeling, thinking, behaving”. Enduring refers to the personality characteristics that are consistent across time and across different situations of a person’s life. The word “distinctive” in the definition refers to how personality psychology addresses features that differentiate people from one another. The phrase “contribute to” refers to how psychologists search for the factors that influence and explain an

The main particular traits of my personality tend to stem from both life experiences and due to the deeper portions of my faith. The first trait that I express often is politeness to whomever I encounter. Patience as a mainstay also is shown in many of the situations I put myself in. A trait that is a double-edged sword to me is the trait of being ornery when things get a bit heated, with me remaining stubborn through most of the situations I encounter. The final personality trait I can think of off the top of my head would be courageousness.
The notion of personality can be defined as a specific set of organised characteristics that influence a person’s everyday actions. These actions are guided by different motives and cognitive processes causing the large range of behaviours in a person. Each person’s characteristics are unique and come together to create an individual personal identity (Burger, 2011). Therefore a personality is subjective to each individual person, it is these unique characteristics that make it so. Characteristics such as likes and dislikes, fear and strengths and weaknesses are what create the individual personality that is seen by others (D. Schultz and P. Schultz, 2005). It is an important endeavour to discern where these characteristics are derived from, the question whether or not a personality is the product of free will has many relevant explorations. Free will in personality would suggest that a person has a free choice over how their aforementioned personality characteristics may turn out (Maslow, 1943). This idea that a person can determine their personality through a series of life choices directly contravenes the idea of a pre-determined personality that is shaped by biology and life events, called determinism (Skinner, 1957). Determinism is championed by Sigmund Freud in his psychodynamic theory (Freud, 1912), although it will not be the focus of this essay, despite Freud’s theories constituting as part of the main crux of the latter part. In order to address the question
