Thought style is defined by Fleck in 1979 as the readiness for directed perception, with corresponding mental and objective assimilation of what has been so perceived (p.99). However, in 2008, Marie defined “Thought style” as a way of thinking that constrains the thoughts and perceptions of individuals’, without really being aware of its existence. The thoughts that make an individual consider a problem as explorable and what is recognized as having a legitimate solution will be constrained. (p.153). Based on these studies, my perception is that people’s thoughts are restricted and hence make them analyze the targeted data ...

Response Essay

The essay “Hunters and Gatherers in the Classroom” is written in 1997 by Lawrence Cohen, clinical psychologist in Brookline, Massachusetts and still has a great psychological and educational significance. Frankly speaking, I have learnt a lot of author`s ideas and approaches, which are really substantial and relevant. I fully agree that boys and girls have a lot of differences in character, behavior, outlook, manners and even way of playing games. This fact leads to the question of gender inequality, which we can observe at school. People got used to the standard sex division of the human “hunter-gatherer” past. ...

Abstract

Sages and physicians have for ages recognized the importance of laughter and humor in a person’s life and health.

The mere fact that a person experiences emotional joy and a sense of relief hint at the possibility of humor having a greater benefit to the human body. The enrichment and benefits that arise from a moment of ...
