...Outsiders Character Analysis Essay In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, Dally starts out as a young adult afraid to look weak and he changes into a brave, but lost person that doesn’t know how to cope with his emotions. In the beginning Dally seemed tough.

...Stress is something that you feel when you have taken on more than you can handle, or are use to handling. It is the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure placed on them from extraordinary demands, constraints, or opportunities (Robbins/DeCenzo page 227). The body responds to stress as if you are in danger producing hormones that speed up both your heart rate and breathing giving you a burst of energy ("Stress management- topic," 2009). There are different types of stress, some can be useful by helping with reaction time and others very harmful to the body. It is when stress happens too often and last for an extended amount of time that the body reacts negatively from the stress. Stress has been linked to cause illness and can have damaging affects on our relationships with others. There are ways to manage stress and keep it under control, not allowing it to have a negative impact on us. Work-related stress is a normal form of stress when taking on too much at one time. It can also be associated with fear of being laid off, overtime, pressures to perform at a certain level and pressure to work at optimum levels (Segal, 2012). It is the excessive stress that interferes with productivity and a person’s physical and emotional health. It is important that you have the ability to recognize stress and deal with it accordingly so it does not have the possibility to render you powerless when approached with difficult situations. The fact is everyone will endure stress...

...For example, I said: “It sounds like you’re feeling overwhelmed; could you tell me more about that?” I also used paraphrasing skills. For instance, when my client listed the things that were overwhelming her, I broke down the list, restating the main concerns; however, I further added my own words to acknowledge the difficulty in balancing these commitments. Encouraging, paraphrasing, and reflecting benefitted this stage of the session by facilitating and clarifying conversation. Third, my client and I defined her goals. I used an open-ended question to elicit my client’s thoughts on appropriate goals. In this stage, I practiced focusing skills by using a mutual focus. I emphasized that we could work on her goals and that, together, we could brainstorm ways to address her concerns. I then summarized...

...At a fundamental level, as human beings, we are all the same; each one of us aspires to happiness and each one of us does not wish to suffer. This is why, whenever I have the opportunity, I try to draw people's attention to what as members of the human family we have in common and the deeply interconnected nature of our existence and welfare. Today, there is increasing recognition, as well as a growing body of scientific evidence, that confirms the close connection between our own states of mind and our happiness. On the one hand, many of us live in societies that are very developed materially, yet among us are many people who are not very happy. Just underneath the beautiful surface of affluence there is a kind of mental unrest, leading to frustration, unnecessary quarrels, reliance on drugs or alcohol, and in the worst case, suicide. There is no guarantee that wealth alone can give you the joy or fulfilment that you seek. The same can be said of your friends too. When you are in an intense state of anger or hatred, even a very close friend appears to you as somehow frosty, or cold, distant, and annoying. However, as human beings we are gifted with this wonderful human intelligence. Besides that, all human beings have the capacity to be very determined and to direct that strong sense of determination in whatever direction they like. So long as we remember that we have this marvellous gift of human intelligence and a capacity to develop determination and use it in positive...

...Anger, sadness, and happiness are all emotions people feel throughout their everyday life. Being out of balance emotionally usually involves people not allowing themselves to experience their feelings as they evolve. We either avoid or push our feelings away. Emotional balance occurs when we allow ourselves to feel whatever comes up, without stifling or being overwhelmed by it, and learn to accept our feelings without judgment. We do this in order to attain happiness, but perhaps there is another way to attain happiness, and that is through attaining the opposite emotion first. Despite the happiness humans anticipate, it is just as important to experience the opposite of emotions due to the balance of emotions. From the time that we are children,...

...PSY/211 February 10, 2013 Kurtis Armstrong Motivation and Emotion The five approaches to motivation are the instinct approach, drive-reduction approach, arousal approach, incentive approach, and cognitive approach. Each approach has a different affect on motivation. In the instinct approach psychologists believe the behavior is biologically determined and not learned (Feldman, 2010). The drive-reduction approach suggests that the motivation is driven by having to satisfy a personal need. According to Feldman (2010), “arousal approaches seek to explain behavior in which the goal is to maintain or increase excitement”. The incentive approach to motivation suggests it is driven by the environment that direct and energize behavior. The last approach is the cognitive approach, which suggests thoughts, expectations and understanding of the world are behind motivation. The main emotions identified in the text are physical, behavioral and subjective. Schachter cognitive arousal theory, also known as the two factor theory of motion two steps must take place. Physical arousal happens first, and then the person must determine the reason behind the arousal in order for it to be an emotion. In the common sense theory a stimulus leads to an emotion which then creates a response. Being student at any age can cause a person to feel various emotions. One positive emotion a student may experience is the feeling of pride. Being a student is tough work, it is a job all on its own. Knowing...

...recognize my emotions. I need to understand my emotions, and realize how they affect others. I work with a person whom I believe has a high emotional intelligence. I admire his calm, logical approach, when others panic or become obviously upset regarding a situation. When he remains calm and logical situations organically diffuse. I trust him to react appropriately to given situations and seek his advice. I imagine him having a highly productive team, and an innovative work culture. On the contrary, I work with another person, she remains highly charged emotionally. She flies off the handle and overreacts. She raises her voice, uses profanity, and calls attention to herself. I avoid having to communicate with her. She has created a culture of fear and inhibits innovation. Having the two models of behavior, I choose to emulate the first....
