No matter how well Oedipus governs his kingdom or how valiant he is, tragedy befalls Oedipus through what can be said as “Hamartia”. Hamartia or tragic flaw is what brings down a great character and ...

My passion for writing developed quite early in my life despite a relatively slow start! I remember being taught how to write the alphabets by my mother – yes, my memory does go back far.

However, once I actually joined pre-school, I received rave reviews for just how good my handwriting was. This made me swell with pride. I also realized ...

General Summary of the Application of Positive Psychology in the field of Psychology

Psychology is a vast field. One of the main reasons why psychology, the study of human behavior and of the human mind, has been developed both as an academic discipline and a branch of applied science was because of the lack of society’s understanding of how mental illnesses and disorders develop and can be treated, or so at least in the past.
