Assignment 1: Discussion—Television Character

Television provides us with many interesting examples of interpersonal and neurotic behaviors. In this assignment, you will delve into the life and actions of some of your favorite television characters and analyze them using Horney’s coping strategies.

Interestingly, Horney’s three coping strategies for one’s neurotic needs correlate very well with three of Adler’s different personality types:

  • Horney’s moving-toward strategy—Adler’s getting or leaning type
  • Horney’s moving against—Adler’s ruling or dominant type
  • Horney’s moving away from—Adler’s avoiding type

Using Horney’s theory of coping with neurotic needs with three different interpersonal orientations, select a TV program of your choice containing a character that Horney would identify as exhibiting neurotic behaviors. As you watch a full episode of this show, focus on this character and tally each instance of moving-toward, moving-against, and moving-away behavior. 

Research Horney’s theory using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Discuss this character’s neurotic needs and trends. 
  • What do you think has happened in his/her life that has led to these behaviors?
  • In addition to general life events, how has gender and culture influenced the character’s neurotic needs and behaviors?
  • How do these interpersonal orientations impact the way this character interacts with others and develops relationships?

Write your initial response in 4–5 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

By Saturday, May 23, 2015, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, May 27, 2015, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

The most common example of a person’s territory would be his or her home because one tends to personalize and defend what is theirs. A person identifies themselves with his or her territory and any threat to that territory feels like a threat to themselves (Territoriality, 2004). A person feels connected to his or her territory and sees it as a means to satisfying his or her needs within society. Privacy is the selective control of access to oneself and group (Privacy, 2004). A person has the ability to decide who to allow in his or her territory or personal space.

As populations become denser Begin Match to source 1 in source list: http://www.antiessays.com/free-essays/Effects-Of-Population-Density-And-Noise-613211.htmlthe concepts of territoriality, privacy, and personal space have become increasingly important. AsEnd Match a Begin Match to source 1 in source list: http://www.antiessays.com/free-essays/Effects-Of-Population-Density-And-Noise-613211.htmlpopulationEnd Match grows a person will display territorial behavior and have the need for more privacy and personal space as a means to escape the pressures of the environment and noise. A person within his or her territory are more confident, feel that they have control, and are more apt to fight back than if they were in someone else’s territory. The reason is because a person feels connected to his or her territory and sees it as a means to satisfying his or her needs within society. Some of the benefits of human territorial behavior are access to the resources within that territory, status, personal space, privacy, and preserves one’s identity. Typically a person is able to decide who to allow in his or her territory and when, which allows a person to have privacy when it is needed. The drawbacks of human territorial behavior are becoming overly protective of the territory can lead to antisocial behavior, loneliness, and can cause hostile behavior. A person may become obsessed with protecting his or her territory and alienate those around them. The Effect of Nature Zoos, parks, and gardens provide those living an urban environment the opportunity to develop an environmental identity that is nurtured rather than inhibited (Clayton & Myers, 2009). Zoos, parks, and gardens enhance a person’s interest in animals and the nature around them. Nature allows a person to get away from noise and the denser population. Direct contact with nature for those living in an urban environment can lead to an increase in mental health and psychological development. Nature environments like zoos, parks, and gardens provide a person with a place to relax, a way to reduce stress, restore mental clarity, increase one’s sense of well- being, and improve performance and physical health (Davis, 2008). Concept of Noise Noise is unwanted sound and what may be a wonderful sound to one person may be noise to another. According to Noise: effects on health (2007) noise can cause stress, impair mental health; affect one’s sleep quality, performance, and cognition. A person whom is exposed to long periods of noise can become stressed, which can lead to higher blood pressure and heart rate and affect a person’s overall health. Those who are sensitive to noise may have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep for any length of time. If a person does not get enough sleep he or she may have difficulty paying attention or completing a task properly and may become easily aggravated. Environmental noise is unwanted sound in one’s community except the noise that Begin Match to source 3 in source list: Goines, Lisa Hagler, Louis.originates in the workplaceEnd Match (Goines & Hagler, 2007). Begin Match to source 3 in source list: Goines, Lisa Hagler, Louis.Environmental noiseEnd Match is Begin Match to source 3 in source list: Goines, Lisa Hagler, Louis.a form of air pollutionEnd Match and Begin Match to source 3 in source list: Goines, Lisa Hagler, Louis.is aEnd Match treat Begin Match to source 3 in source list: Goines, Lisa Hagler, Louis.toEnd Match a person’s Begin Match to source 3 in source list: Goines, Lisa Hagler, Louis.health and well-being.End Match Environmental noise has become more of a severe problem Begin Match to source 3 in source list: Goines, Lisa Hagler, Louis.because of population growth, urbanization, andEnd Match other mobile sources of noise (Goines & Hagler, 2007).

The first step to reducing noise pollution is to control the environment the best one can, which will limit the amount of noise that enters one’s personal space. A person can apply weather stripping to the windows or install double-paned windows to reduce noise. An employee can talk to his or her employer about techniques to reduce office noise such as installing a door so that the unwanted noise can be blocked. A person can try adding white noise, which can reduce environmental noise. An example of white noise would be playing a CD of nature sounds or other favorite types of music. This will allow a person to concentrate and will help reduce stress. Noise pollution causes stress therefore one should use stress relieving techniques such as breathing exercises, mediation, or yoga to remain focused on the task at hand. Other stress relieving techniques are exercise, Begin Match to source 6 in source list: Nia, Mahin Etemedi, Majid Mahmood Aliloo, and Khalil Ansarin.emotion-focused, and problem-focused coping.End Match Exercise Begin Match to source 6 in source list: Nia, Mahin Etemedi, Majid Mahmood Aliloo, and Khalil Ansarin.isEnd Match the best way for a person to cope with the stress in his or her life because it makes a person feel better mentally and can boost one’s energy levels.

Conclusion Population density and noise can have many effects on individuals. The more crowded one’s environment becomes, more environmental noise is produced. Population density and noise can cause a person to become stressed, which can lead to other health issues. To escape from the crowded and noisy environment one may retreat to his or her territory where he or she has privacy and personal space. A person identifies themselves with their territory and any threat to that territory feels like a threat to themselves (Territoriality, 2004). A person feels connected to his or her territory and sees it as a means to satisfying his or her needs within society. Nature is another way a person can escape from environmental noise and population density. The nature environment allows one to feel a sense of connection with his or her environment. Other ways of reducing noise in one’s environment is to control the environment the best one can, which will limit the amount of noise that enters one’s personal space. Although, one cannot control how crowded or how noisy their environment becomes, he or she has options to escape from these environmental stressors or to at least reduce the environmental noise so that he or she can concentrate on the task at hand.

reaction and action

/in /by

discuss the reaction and action of the audience and speaker of speech perception. 

Note: A very important aspect of this paper is that it must cover more than what is already covered in the course — textbook information summary and course review isn’t the goal — but rather it must expand on a topic related to the course. The topic can also not be too broad. An example of an appropriate topic might be a particular disorder of the olfactory system. A too broad topic would be “Perception and the Sense of Smell”. The latter is too general because it is one of the human sensory systems and something the course already covers. It is also much too broad because it covers an entire sensory system.

Finally, an exceedingly important aspect of this assignment and the others in the course is the rule prohibiting ANY type of copying. The certainly includes copying word-for-word, or with just a few words changed or rearranged, published material of any kind, and you also may not even quote for any assignment in the course. Concern the latter, your prof needs to see what you understand of what you have read rather than what you can copy and place inside quotation marks. You must paraphrase (summarize in your own words) published materials and properly source credit published materials both in the post or paper body and in a list attached to the end per APA formatting rules. A first instance of ANY copying and/or failure to source credit, regardless of intent to do so or not, will result in an assignment score of zero with no option for revision and any additional instances will result in course failure.

IR Theories: Strengths and Weaknesses

After viewing the text “Perspectives help us decide what the primary cause of an event is” (Nau, 2014). Intrinsic in description are three principal perspectives; the realist, liberal, and identity perspectives.

As we look over the strength of the realist perspective. In the text it is stated that “The realist perspective focuses on conflict and war, not because people adopting this perspective favor war or believe war is necessary but because they hope by studying war to avoid it in the future” (Nau, 2014). I believe this to be one of the strengths as by studying war, you can therefore be better equipped to prevent it and if not successful, then you will be prepared to win it. I believe that the weakness of the realist perspective is the assumption that it does not allow for the possibility of the parties actually choosing to working together in the future. This makes the assumption that there is only one way in which the perspective would work.

The liberal perspective “is interested in the problem of cooperation” (Nau, 2014). That interest shows that as a result of a focus on cooperation between parties, they are able to rise above and avoid violence associated with conflicts throughout the world. However, conversely the same attributes which creates the strength of this perspective, can cause exposure to weaknesses. For example, as a result of cooperation as an emphasis, we realize that there is a rise in interdependence between societies, industries, and economies. These relationships have in turn led to globalization, which can eventually raise risk from security threats. This risk, is what I believe can be described as a weakness.

Identity perspective is reliant on the conceptualization of ideas as they relate to the identity of the players. I believe that focusing on the ideas which form the identity of a government and key power brokers on the global stage, enables one to better navigate the nuances associated with finding the a mutually beneficial outcome for all parties involved. I think the weakness of this issue can be seen as the dependence on the supporting factors for each of these identities.

In evaluating each of the perspectives which we discussed, I would think that the realist is the most accurate and comprehensive of the three. I base this on the numerous areas which are covered by this perspective. Running the gambit of concepts from anarchy to balance of power, shows that this perspective has the breath to consider a wider range of variables than the other perspectives.

Discussion—A Life in Review

Assignment 1: Discussion—A Life in Review

In late adulthood, most people engage in a process of life review. They recall their life histories and recount them to others as well. As people review the important events from their lives, they create a picture of their lives as an integrated whole. The last stage of Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. As people complete their life reviews, they may feel a sense of integrity. This means they look back upon their lives with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Others may have a sense of despair. They often feel unfulfilled and have regret about choices they have made or events that have occurred.

Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities.

Use your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research the process of life review.

Conduct your own life review and then respond to the following:

  • What do you look forward to about getting older?
  • What would you most like to look back on?
  • How do you view Erikson’s stage of integrity versus despair as it relates to your own life?

Support your arguments with research, citing sources.
Write your initial response in 150–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Friday, September 12, 2014, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, September 17, 2014, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Ask a question, remark on an analysis presented, or suggest an alternative view. Be sure to formulate a thoughtful and substantive response.
