...Stacy H. McConville Discussion Board Forum 3 August 1, 2014 Psychology 341 The Five-Facture Model of Personality by McCrae and Costa is very descriptive and predicted by three primary features consisting of basic tendencies, characteristics adaptions, and self-concept. (Feist, 2013, pp. 374-397) The five-factor personalities are extraversion, neuroticism, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. The Bible pertains numerous different character traits for us to provide each of us with guidance, understanding, correction, wisdom, direction, and truth on the characteristics that we personally possess that need removal and or change to grow in Jesus Christ’s image, and the traits that we need to be thankful for and grow them to serve God. The Biblical character Daniel is faithful in His personal relationship with God always trusting God for direction, wisdom, guidance, knowledge, healing, and God’s love for Him. When Daniel is removed from spending the night in a den of lions it says in Daniel 6:23 “no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Bible NIV) Daniel knew who had the ultimate power over him and placed his trust in God alone Daniel after being captured and arriving in a foreign land keeps and refuses to stray from His faith displaying integrity. Daniel regardless of the situation He presently faced was faithful in preserving in His Christian faith and trust...

...The Big Five Personality Theory and Gender Identity According to American Psychological Association (2000), personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. The study of personality focuses on two broad areas: One is understanding individual differences in particular personality characteristics, such as sociability or irritability. The other is understanding how the various parts of a person come together as a whole. A number of different theories have emerged to explain different aspects of personality. Some theories focus on explaining how personality develops while others are concerned with individual differences in personality. The following are just a few of the major theories of personality proposed by different psychologists: Behavioral Theories, Psychoanalytic Theories. This paper focus on the Big Five personality dimensions to explain childhood personality development. Big Five Personality theory described the personality in childhood and later in life as a set of variations across five primary dimensions identified by researchers: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness/intellect. Each bipolar factor (e.g., Extraversion vs. Introversion) summarizes several more specific facets (e.g., Sociability), which, in turn, subsume a large number of even more specific traits (e.g., talkative, outgoing) (Gosling, Rentfrow and Swann Jr, 2003). These basic factors can explain and predict...

...After reading about the five major developmental theories, I find as a Christian believer that we can take find something from all of them, but I will elaborate on the first three. Freud’s psychoanalytic therapy deals with the conscious and unconscious mind and says it influences our thoughts and behaviors. (Cherry, 2014) He also believed that our unconscious, having dreams, is significant. (Berger, 2011) I too believe that the unconscious can tell us about our future or help us make a decision. We can use the example of Pharaoh’s dreams that was interpreted by Joseph (Genesis 41). Another example is a dream that came to Joseph, Jesus’ father, had a dream to leave Egypt. I have had dreams that have given me an insight to something that was bothering me or answered a prayer. In Behaviorism, positive reinforcement occurs when a reward, sometimes called a reinforcer, is given for a specific desired behavior. (Fritscher, 2014) For example, we got dessert when we finished our dinner or after you clean up your room you may go visit your friends or watch TV. As Proverbs 22:6 says, “Teach children in a way that fits their needs and when they even grow old, they will not leave the right path. Cognitive therapy (gotQuestions?org, 2014) grew out of Behaviorism. Cognitive-behavior therapy aims to help clients accept themselves in spite of imperfections. (gotQuestions?org, 2014). For example cognitive behavioral therapy takes irrational thoughts and makes them rational. This could be an...

...The class text addresses five theories of crisis communication as well as four variations of the fifth theory, the Excellence Theory. To fully understand how each model of the Excellence Theory is expressed, each model needs to be looked at from a real world perspective, as evidenced in the provided scenario. Excellence Theory Scenario Scenario: Robert’s Responders, a 501(c) 3 volunteer organization, has responded to an EF-4 tornado in the rural village of Incorpria, Illinois. When the Incident Management Team for Robert’s Responders arrives to the scene, 24 hours after the tornado hit, they attend the morning briefing, meeting with the County OEM, Local Incident Commander and the other participating agencies whom already arrived on scene. Robert’s Responders is a relatively new organization, has a low volunteer base and the organization does not have the name recognition that is seen with Red Cross, Salvation Army and Samaritan’s Purse. Because the team is relatively unknown, the local officials are hesitant to allow the responders in the impact area. Model 1 is a style of the Excellence Theory of communication that relies on a publicity agent. The communication is unregulated and can contain information that is truthful, a half-truth,...

...Cambridge Five Creation and Operations Introduction “Cambridge Five” or “Magnificent Five” is the name given to a group of five young men whom all graduated from Cambridge University. They betrayed their country by spying for the Soviet Union and passing them secret information. They were probably the most successful Soviet spies to penetrate the western intelligence. Their actions allow the Soviet Union to get access to vital intelligence and created rift between the British and the Americans. This essay will look at the background of each member and how they joined the Soviet intelligence services, their operations and its impact in the world of espionage. In addition, this essay will evaluate the significance of each individual’s actions and how it affected intelligence services. Origin of Cambridge Five Cambridge Five refers to a spy ring which the members were all part of Cambridge University. It is unclear there were more than five men, regardless the five individuals are Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean, Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt and John Cairncross. They all attended Cambridge University between 1926 and 1934 studying in different disciplines with a strong belief in Communism. They were all good friends with each other with the exception of Cairncross who was never really part of the circle. The first of the Cambridge Five group and probably the most famous was Harold Adrian Russell Philby, also known as Kim codenamed Sohnchen, then Tom and Stanley. He was born...

...The book Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut is a book on the experiences of World War Billy Pilgrim, the main character of this book happened to be among the military soldiers participating in this war. As a soldier, not adequately trained appears in various events that surrounds his life in Dresden. The of the book, Kurt Vonnegut organizes this events in an abnormal chronological way as he fragments the events in relation to time, characters, and the structure to combine his nonlinear story. From the book, Slaughterhouse-Five, the initial details that the readers get about Billy is that he pays unsystematic visits to every event during the war period (Bloom 11). The experiences that Billy goes through are episodes that do have chronological obligations. This reflects the structure of the book that has the beginning, body and the conclusions, not placed traditionally. The author of the book says that Billy has, “come unstuck in time.” From this phrase, the author turns the time from something intangible to something tangible and therefore uses this as a fix to his own purpose (Federhen 44). The use of the word “unstuck” by the author implies that Billy is free. Apparently, Billy and Vonnegut achieve a certain level of freedom. In other words, Vonnegut and Billy have no limitations with time and the author, Vonnegut can place the character, Billy in a period of his choice. This makes the book have an effect of collage that makes the pieces and bits of the life that Billy has...

...Five Guys is a fast casual restaurant chain that originated in Arlington, Virginia within the Washington Metropolitan Area (York). The chain sells mainly hamburgers, hot dogs and French Fries (York). Five Guys enterprises has grown from a single family owned restaurant to a franchise with 450 locations in thirty states (York). Five Guys opened its doors to Arlington, Virginia in 1986 (York). The restaurant was started by four brothers who were given the choice to start a business or go to college by their parents (York). The burger and fry shop drew in a ‘cult-like’ clientele base which demanded the opening of four additional locations in the Metro D.C. area between 1986 and 2001 (York).

In 2002, they opened franchise opportunities limited to D.C., Virginia, and Maryland, and in 2003 to the rest of the country (Five Guys Inc., 2008).

...Slaughterhouse Five Chaplain's Assistant Billy Pilgrim is a disoriented, fatalistic, and ill-trained American soldier. He does not like wars and he is captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. The Germans put Billy and his fellow prisoners in a disused slaughterhouse (although there are animal carcasses hanging in the underground shelter) in Dresden. Their building is known as "Slaughterhouse number 5". The POWs and German guards alike hide in a deep cellar; because of their safe hiding place, they are some of the few survivors of the city-destroying firestorm during the Bombing of Dresden in World War II. Billy has come "unstuck in time" and experiences past and future events out of sequence and repetitively, following a He is kidnapped by extraterrestrial aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. They exhibit him in a zoo with B-movie starlet Montana Wildhack as his mate. The Tralfamadorians, who can see in four dimensions, have already seen every instant of their lives. They say they cannot choose to change anything about their fates, but can choose to concentrate upon any moment in their lives, and Billy becomes convinced of the veracity of their theories. As Billy travels—or believes he travels—forward and backward in time, he relives occasions of his life, real and fantasy. He spends time on Tralfamadore, in Dresden, in the War, walking in deep snow before his German capture, in his mundane post-war married life in the U.S.A. of the 1950s and early 1960s, and...

...20th 2013 The Rise of Unwavering Band of Light Kurt Vonnegut, Junior was born on November 11th 1922 and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is known as American novelist, satirist, and most recently, graphic artist. His funny, somewhat slang and imaginative writing style of fiction has been well-known especially among scholars, collage students and young people for more than 50 years. Through his works which usually involving dark humor, comical drawings, flying saucers and time travel, Vonnegut expresses social criticism about the suffering and atrocities human beings experienced in the 20th century—from the effects of war and atomic weaponry, to racism, social injustice, and environmental destruction. His remarkable novel Slaughterhouse-five (1969) is acknowledged as his masterpiece and has successfully catapulted his name to international fame. It recounts the story about the come-unstuck-in-time Dresden War ex-serviceman Billy Pilgrim who was abducted by extraterrestrial creature from Planet Tralfamadore. This novel is also a piece of Vonnegut’s memoir as an eyewitness when the tragedy happened. While in his seventh novel, Breakfast of Champions (1973) he stated at the preface “This book is my fiftieth-birthday present to myself. I feel as though I am crossing the spine of a roof—having ascended one slope” (4). The story revolves around a well-to-do Pontiac dealer Dwyne Hoover who was stepping into madness after reading a novel from an insecure yet talented science-fiction...

...Jesuit Order was to become the most vile, bloody and persecuting order in the Roman Catholic church. This order was an elaborate spy system, so that no one in the order was safe. If there was any opposition, death was imminent and swift. Martin Luther had dedicated himself to the Augustinian order, devoting himself to fasting, long hours in prayer, pilgrimage, and frequent confession. In 1507 he was ordained to the priesthood, and in 1508 he was sent to teach Theology at the newly founded University of Wittenberg, later being called to the position of Doctor in Bible. Martin Luther had started the Reformation with a copy of his Disputation of Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences�?which came to be known as The Ninety-Five Theses. He had also been initially influenced and financed by Jewish Conspirators but later discovered and exposed their deception, as seen in this quote. 糎e are the Fathers of all Revolutions, even of those which sometimes happen to turn against us.
