Interpersonal Rejection and Human Needs

Interpersonal Rejection and Human Needs Precisely, a human being becomes a personality due to the fact that he or she lives in society and develops capabilities that are inherent in his or her biological nature in interaction with other people. These opportunities cannot be realized outside of society, thus, a human cannot become a full-fledged personality. The process of human adoption of social experience, acquisition of the qualities that allow him or her to be a member of society, is called socialization. Socialization of the individual is one of the most important factors of human existence, as it is ...

Knowing what you do about the functions of sleep and dreaming, what would be the advantages and drawbacks of such a pill from a personal perspective? Would you take such a pill? Why or why not? The “miracle pill” may seem encouraging and very useful especially for someone who wants to be productive and take advantage of time. However, several studies have already argued the importance of sleep and dreaming in the ...

The Iliad is a lengthy poem that tells the events of the Trojan War. The Trojan War is a legendary war that pitted the Trojans against the Greeks (Janko and Kirk 1). The Iliad despite being a very long poem, has a basic structure. Achilles withdrew from the Trojan War after he had quarreled with chief Agamemnon over Briseis (Abel Media, n.p). Achilles was regarded the hero of the Greeks, and his premature withdrawal meant that the Trojans had a chance to defeat the Greeks. After Achilles had withdrawn, disaster befell his companions, and this did not sit well ...

Net neutrality is a design paradigm that has been used in the United States to protect the internet users. It argues that the network providers should be detached entirely from the information they are sending to their clients.

The policy implies that information networks are more important and useful to their users when it gives no focus on one issue over the other. In addition, the neutral network can be designed without prodding into any legality. The Internet is an interconnection of computers, allowing ...

Question 1

Currently, alcoholism represents one of the widespread addictions. The long-term physiological effects of addiction to alcohol are characterized by the phenomena of tolerance and dependence. Tolerance occurs when a set of liver enzymes is produced after a prolonged drinking, which assist in metabolizing alcohol. As a result, alcohol is broken down faster and the person has to increase alcohol amounts in order to attain the same amount of intoxication. Tolerance is the most critical long-term physiological effects of addiction to alcohol. This is so because it produces a false sense of security in the people addicted to alcohol. This can lead to ...

P and I Rule Book. According to the American P and I Club Rule Book, there is a clause about claims that are payable at the discretion of the Directors.

The primary diagnoses in Jon’s case are substance-related and addictive disorders, but he should also be assessed for impulse-control disorders. Although Jon reported experimenting with hallucinogens, he does not use them frequently and did not report using them within the past 12 months, so the most appropriate diagnoses based on the information provided are severe alcohol use disorder (303.90 [F10.20]) and mild cannabis use disorder (305.10 [F12.10]). Substance use is often a consequence of another root disorder, so additional diagnoses have to be explored (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The most appropriate diagnosis based on Jon’s background information would ...

DISCUSSION

Antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of smoking are known to the smoking population, despite the popular belief that smoking has a positive mood affects. The evidence established in Boden, Fergusson, & Horwood (2010) and other literature that have linked smoking to depression assert that the smoking population may actually be vindicated. Regardless of the direction of the causal relationship; it is still a statistically significant relationship with important practical implications. It is possible that the relationship could even be bidierectional, which effectively marries the research findings from both extremes, with infrequenet or acute smoking leading to a reduction in the negative mood affect, while ...

The case chosen for discussion in this paper is that of Jason (38), a factory worker. After reading the case, the first thing we would want to know is whether Jason is an addict.

If a person’s behavior is under their control, then the person should not be considered an addict. It doesn’t matter at what frequency the subject engages in an addictive behavior. What really matters ...

Many people who suffer from a substance addiction also suffer from a mental health problem at the same time and the difficulties they are faced with far outweigh the effects of either alone. Often, only one of the two problems is identified and that depends on the primary problems treated where the diagnosis is given and which problem is most prominent. When one of the problems is severe it may eclipse the other problems the individual is suffering from.

Although one problem may be considered primary and the rest secondary, this does not mean that the individual isn’t experiencing serious ...

Historically, the idea of the deep state is described in the Turkish political structure where a powerful military would intervene in matters of a democratic government. In fact, the military served as an oversight for the government because it would take control, in its view, when the leaders overstretched their mandate on issues of Islam. The same concept of deep state is evident in the modern Egypt where the military rules indirectly through the influence it has over the elected leadership. In essence, Egypt’s deep state is characterized with a dominating military supported by other branches such as the police, the ...

The power dependence relation is a simple theory developed to explain the concepts of power, authority, leadership, influence, dominance and status. These terms are commonly used in social situations, politics and business, yet most individuals do not understand their meaning. Despite the existence of extensive research in this area, Emerson (1962) feels that there is a misconception regarding social power. This flaw in thinking is best demonstrated by the common thought that power is attributable to a specific power or group of people. This misconception raises the question of the power structure in society and the aspect of power as property.

Nixon was elected the president of United States of America 1968 on the promise that he would take a different approach to end the Vietnam War.

Caffeine is a widely-used drug that modifies the psychological condition of the consumers.

Although its arousal of the central nervous system can induce pleasant effects at relatively lower doses, caffeine can impair concentration and attention at increased doses. The present study, therefore, examines the various adverse effects of consuming caffeine at high doses. The ...
