My Personal Theory of How Personality Is Developed

It is a common fact that personality is considered to be possessed by all people in this or that way. How people tend to think, behave and feel and what causes individuals to have these tendencies are the questions addressed by personality study and research.
If developmental psychology and social psychology have merged as a subject matter in psychology, personality has never really found that unity. There has never been a fundamentally acceptable and precise definition as to what personality truly is.
These aspects have Continue reading...

Social work was introduced to me in high school. The inherent desire to serve the less fortunate in the population was coined, planted and nurtured by my parents. I always accompanied them to social welfare organizations like foster homes, and community based organizations, to grant basic needs to the less fortunate and the endangered. When social work was introduced to me, I really liked it especially the principles of, a social worker his /her roles made me get an inherent power that propelled me to consider studying the course at the deepest end. I want to credit my parents for encouraging me to study social work by supporting my education both morally and financially.

The basic purpose of social work profession, is to promote the advancement of the community by ensuring that social justice exist, and that the poorest of the poor gets their basic necessities, just like other members of the community, Noel Timms (1983:5-15), The social work profession like other professions is based upon a set of core values. They are important tools that every social worker must possess. A value is an object of desire; therefore core values are simply the conventions set aside by NASW to prescribe the actions of a social hand as he or she responds to issues in the process of human resource interaction.

In my human service interaction I have always incorporated the core values service; in my capacity as a graduate social work I have assisted many people in, need and always tried to address social problems. In the process of rendering service to the poor the vulnerable and at times, victims of a tragedy I have always volunteered a part of my professional skills without any significant financial interest. A case in point is the Haiti earthquake which rendered more than two million people homeless while thousands of others were left dead. Through the international federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, I requested to be deployed as a volunteer rescuer which they swiftly responded and airlifted me to Haiti where I rendered my service by ensuring that everybody got basic needs, including medical care. The vulnerable among them: Women, children, physically challenged and old men were given close attention .In situations where the United Nations humanitarian Aids were limited and the need was high was supplemented by our own savings.

I have always strongly believed in social justice ,as such am always troubled when the international media highlights the plight of the innocent people ,who go through social injustices like rape, lack of education, neglect , unfair trial and suffering. On many occasions, I have mobilized fellow social workers to support the civil society movements, which advocate for social justice and balance, in countries where there is no freedom. Also on volition I have visited several African countries amongst them, the war torn Sudan, Kenya, Rwanda and Burundi to assist them pursue social change. Given that the centre of social change is always based on the issues of education, poverty unemployment, and prejudice I have always tried to sensitize the communities through, guiding and counselling,in schools, offering alternative practice and sponsoring cultural events ..

Every human being is entitled to dignity and respect. In the field we interact with many people from different walks of lives, but I have always maintained the principle of respecting worthiness of a person, as a social worker you must treat everybody equally, aware of diversity in culture and individual differences. Kendal, R and Linda, Woodhead( 2006:102-108). The society is structured in such a way that people are clustered based on wealth and social class in which one was born. Worthiness of a person is of prime importance because a human being is rational creatures. In (2008) when I visited Kenya I interacted freely with people who were extremely poor, illiterate, and somehow neglected, I even stayed with one of these families in their grass thatched house.

I have always struggled to maintain personal integrity, by being honest all the time, especially with the organizations which I have worked for and interacted with. As a professional social worker I have always been aware of the professional mission, values and ethical principles, thus behaved in a manner consistent with them.

Acquisition of expertise in your area of specialization, is very important, I have always yearned to improve my understanding of the scope of social work. I also contributed to the creation of new knowledge, by engaging in various research activities. I have been doing my personal research since I graduated, based on what other people have done, I have suggested revision of existing theories of social work ,to improve the image of course, so as to meet the needs of the modern society.

I have worked with the African communities. Kenya is one of the countries in Africa that I have toured and worked. It is occupied by forty two tribes. My experience with the majority of the tribes was nourishing, as I learned many things. Some of them still practice some cultural activities that are repugnant. The most severe social problems that affected women and young girls, was female genital mutilation, the Maasai women were going through, traumatizing experience, as a professional social worker, I had to use my diplomatic skills, and research tactics to gather necessary information, in aid of communal sensitization, to discard the outdated cultural practices , in a manner that would not raise eyebrows, together with the local nongovernmental organization, we came up with a development program ,to empower men and women to engage in more important and beneficial activities, other than female genital mutilation. Although I was working very far away from home, the community took my endeavors positively, because they realized that I was aimed at improving their way of life .women in this society appreciated so much, because before we set up our programs, they used to walk, for many kilometers in search of water.

Social welfare is the absolute betterment of the society. Social welfare cannot be evaluated because it entails the ends and objects of desire, Jeremiah, W (2006:78-83). The social welfare areas that interest me are those that deal with the vulnerable in the society, that is orphaned children, dumped children, and the elderly who cannot cater for their basic needs. They interest me because; they usually empower a portion of the community that could be neglected and wasted. The orphaned children, the dumped are picked up fed and given the parental love that have missed, by so doing they are then given a second chance in life, to improve on their status. This welfare also ensures that this category of people maintains their dignity in the community.

A social problem is an issue that must be perceived by a potion of the society, as undesirable. Almost everybody would agree that actions to do with murder, increased road carnage amounts to a social problem. (ibid: 56-65).some people cause a social problem without themselves knowing, while others regard it as a publicly undesired, but some other people may, consider it an undesirable social condition.

The social problem that concerns me, that should be addressed by MSW, is the increased rate of drug abuse amongst university students, the increased rate of drug and substance among students are evident through abnormal behavior among the university students, and increased rate of criminal activities involving students. MSW should move swiftly to save the image of the university.

My undergraduate academic life was quite interesting, the normal first year, confusion coupled with the hassle to meet the paper deadlines, made my whole academic life at the university very interesting, and enjoyable.

I was academically fit in all the social work courses, because of the inbuilt desire to study the course. Although I was good in social work core courses, my weaknesses were evident in university common courses that I never performed well.

My desire to study social work, has always been driven by my parents and my personal desire to study the course, to the deepest levels, so as to satisfy my intellectual curiosity.

Humans are interesting in the way that they come up with names for everything. Every object in this world must have a label so we may understand what another person is speaking about when we communicate. Names and labels are an integral part of language and communication; without them, we would never know to what anybody is referring. The story is no different when it comes to human beings themselves. We all have names in order to identify ourselves, whether to friends, co-workers, or verifiable government documents. Our names are essentially who we are. Some people come upon their Continue reading...

According to Sacks, the subtext that is provided over the epidemic of childlessness in the lives of most executives is that men are to blame. According to the women, men are to blame because according to them, men refuse to be left at home and be the primary caretaker of the kids. This would mean that, for a woman who wants to concentrate on her career, she would have to shelve her need to have kids and concentrate on her work first because if she had kids she would have to stay at home to take care of them, Continue reading...

Introduction

Parents bear many responsibilities every time a child is born. Their responsibilities are recognized not only as morally but also legally. The constitution recognizes the importance of children and outlines the roles and responsibilities of parents in raising their children. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children and other international organizations are keen in guiding countries on how parents should be guided in the upbringing of their children. The education curriculum is, however also a major influence on the way children are developed until they become adults.

A mother is someone who, after giving birth to her child, is capable of loving her baby until she breathes her last breath. She loves whole-heartedly and passionately. She cares for her family and most often, considers her family’s needs before hers. However, just like any other human being, mothers are unique in how they show their love for their family. The five common types of mothers are perfectionist mother, unpredictable mother, the best friend mother, the me-first mother, and the complete mother.

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Midlife, or the age between 35 and 55, can be a complicated time for a woman. As a female enters these years, sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the waters because the things that once made her happy are no longer available, or as satisfying. This can be confusing. Other things that she never enjoyed before may be cast in a new light, and be even more enjoyable than the female ever thought possible. There may be complicated feelings about life satisfaction, which can lead to new discoveries or depression. The female may attempt sexual exploration as her Continue reading...

The documentary focuses on the increased prescription of stimulants such as Ritalin in children. It evaluates the diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and teenagers via prescription of antipsychotic and antidepressant medications. Therefore, the Frontline documentary is extremely inspiring given the alarming number of children being medicated for psychiatric disorders. Although the program did not mention any alternative approaches to diagnose this disorder, I think the prescription of antipsychotic and antidepressant medications is the conventional solution for children suffering from behavioral problems.
A major issue in the Frontline program is that many children who were diagnosed with ADHD before Continue reading...

Violence in A Long Way Gone

Ishmael Beah’s memoir A Long Way Gone, the tale of his time as a child soldier in Sierra Leone, is a gut-wrenching tale of child violence and loss of identity and connection with others. One of the most intriguing things about the book is its depiction of the violent setting Ishmael lives in; after his parents were killed and be was brought into a rebel army unit, Ishmael “became a ruthless, drug-addled killing machine,” only to be surreptitiously handed over to UNICEF some time later and asked to integrate into a more developed, Western life (Rayman, 2008).

Man and woman, yin and yang, Adam and Eve; the two parts that make a whole in God’s eyes. But like someone said men are from Mars and women are from Venus. That is how diverse the thought process, reactions and attitudes are between man and woman. Women are called the fairer sex, the gentle beings that give birth and nourish life. Men are the hunter gatherers who protect the wife and family. These are age old preconceptions and determine the accepted roles played out by the sexes in society dictated by their biological features..
Biology is responsible Continue reading...

In America, the predicament of drug abuse and drug trafficking can be curbed through many different resilient ways rather than decriminalization or rehabilitation.
The government may skyrocket the rates of incarcerations for the narcotic users. Ronald Reagan made this effective in the 1980s and 1990s, and it may as well work in the current world.
The public should as well be concerned about the issue on illicit drug use. The media should display the portrayals of addicted drug victims. For instance, displaying a victim who is a cocaine user, dubbed (Johnson, 2012 p.34). This will instill fear into the Continue reading...

Literature Review
For some years now, questions have been posed regarding the impact of digital technology on the emotional and cognitive development of young children.

1. Yes. Performance of students is predominantly affected by the level of education, level of income of parents and professionalism. Supplying students with required learning materials and attending good schools solves only one part of the equation. The fact is there is a correlation between the qualities of the environment at home and success at school. The nature and nurture of cognitive development are greatly influenced equally by the home environment as well as the school environment. The home environment like the diet and availability of other basic needs play a big role on how the child develops and Continue reading...

The idea that an adult can recapture child mind and live completely in the present without abstract thought about the act, and the future is a philosophical and psychological idea that holds little meaning to most people. The mindset of an adult is primarily influenced by experiences that the adult has gone through. It can, therefore, be argued that the current mindset of any given adult is a collection of different paradigms of mindsets that resulted as a result of experiences that the adult has gone through. The concept that an adult can adopt the child mind and live Continue reading...

Behavioral Psychology is one of the basic topics in psychology that looks into how people or animals behave the way they behave. Although, behavioral psychology is one of the foundations of psychology, teachers have observed that students find the topic a little difficult to understand. The topic tries to find an explanation why people or animals have their corresponding mental and physical reactions in response to certain stimuli. In behavioral psychology, the idea is that the behavior of people and animals can be both conditioned and results of either rewards or punishments applied to them. Further, it is also Continue reading...

Research varies from time to time depending of the incidence and prevalence of the cases being studied. In 2002 the research shows that, United State alone, had recorded millions and millions cases of child abuse and neglect (Alvarez, Kenny, Donohue & Carpin, 2004).

Such counselors and psychotherapist may react emotionally whenever they are confronted with the same issue that affected them Continue reading...

Paradoxically, the actual first Chinese communication with the effort of Marx along with other nineteenth century advanced philosophers existed through Japanese conversions. China is the second largest, export led economy throughout the globe while the humanity is abundant just over one- billion people Continue reading...

Comparison and Contrast between Functionalism and Marxism

Evaluate how social factors (education, religion, family and media) affect society and individual
Social factors, such as education, religion, family, and media, affect society and individual in myriad ways. Starting with informal education in the family or foster home care, a child is being initiated, acculturated, socialized or taught social practices . Further, depending on the religious practices of the family or society, a child learns moral codes (that is, things he or she ought and not ought to do). From informal education, in today’s modern world, a child then receives formal schooling where he or she acquires Continue reading...
