intro to catw 2

In the article, “In Groups We Shrink”, by Carol Tavris illustrates the idea of individual’s personalities changing once among a group. Conveying, that one’s actions completely differ from when alone in comparison to when in attendance with other individuals during a time crisis or climactic matters. I concur with the author’s notion of a person’s reaction with or without a group having more to do with the group dynamic or “the nature of the groups than the nature of the individuals”.  The gravity of a situation can create great trepidation when a group is established and the occurrence is random. A poised individual attending to a task at hand can be vacillated when case of an emergency which will delay a response. Whens roles are places within a group, the actions cared out can create movement or stagnation within a group. During sporting events, security is provided to prevent any interference to occur during the event taking place. However, on occasion the event can be interrupted by a very inebriated individual.

In the article “How your birth order influences your life adjustment,” by Lucille Forer, the idea of a child’s development based upon their family is accurate in most cases. I agree with the claim of the role in the family based upon the order he or she was conceived, will impact a child’s psychology. A child being able I to understand and communicate his strengths and weaknesses, will develop skills that enable himself to work well with others. The eldest and only child’s roles are most similar in regards to the idea of humility being suppressed from their youth and the shift of responsibility. Which leaves the youngest emotionally interdependent upon dynamic within his immediate environment. When only syndrome comes into play within most relationships, its usually irritable to anyone outside the immediate family.

                Firstly, the independence of an only child can have negative or positive impact. Developing the idea of being decisive from the early stages of youth, aids the transition of being able to relate and get along with others. In relation to the oldest sibling, establishing the confidence and responsibility of a leader, due to the role established during childhood via his parents. However, when not in a comfortable situation, the stubbornly resilient bravado takes its toll and the ability to convey the need of assistance is obsolete. My older brother found it difficult to convey that he needed to come home to become more grounded and stable. Thus, he moved to the southwest and until recent established a more balance lifestyle, in terms of religion, occupation and family. Moreover, the middle child role can either set the president of a will to prove worthy or extremely self –indulgent due to the family role of assistance being very available.  

                In addition, the family dynamic of role establishment provides the opportunity to flourish because parental nurturing and sibling hierarchy. Growing up with two brothers, I obtained the role as the middle child at very young age. The ability to understand the division of nurturing at a young age was beneficial in regards to me not obtaining selfish but selfless attitude towards others. Being able to fathom the idea of humility and the appropriate time to express runs parallel with the role of the middle child. However, becoming complacent with someone being there when you need them enables a lack of responsibility which has a relation to the development of the youngest sibling.

                In closing, the maturation of the last conceived is critically based upon the family dynamic. Whether its pressure to do well due to your older siblings flourish or not quite acting upon their potential, the pressure exist. Establishing a consistent behavior pattern of around the clock nurturing and assistance can be an unable by the lack of independence developed. Until recently my younger brother needed and yearned for family attention while away at college. I expressed to him until he finds what is important to him, he’ll consistently need guidance.

            In a world where weakness is preyed upon and efforts are valued, there is very little room for era for a “Hero”. I agree with the notion that a hero is someone who commits heroic acts, however, I also believe that a hero is someone within moments, who inspires others to discover and excel progressively at their own passions. In any sporting event there are usually individuals who inspire others to work and master their craft, due to their efforts or god given ability. Whether its results from an extensive amount of research or inspiring others with innovative strategies within any artistic realms, individuals have the ability to inspire others to unravel their passion for excelling within the academic realms. Relationships are essential to personal development, whether within the home environment or close friends and colleagues; an individual has the capability to encourage other to use moral character within their personality. The sporting arena for ages has been the stage for a hero to exemplify his fortitude.

            In the movie Gladiator, Russell Crowe inspired everyone from older merchants to children who aspire to be great warriors and show will and determination. Fighting to live in an arena of rabid tigers on chains and multiple or giant men serve as great inspiration to all spectators. Football being America’s most popular sport, Monday night is center stage for an NFL Quarterback who bring his team back from a two touchdown deficit entering the last two minutes of regulation, to inspire children who can understand the concept of team work and resilience during a sporting event. Heroic athletes also inspire men who have families to support on a blue collar yearly wage in an industrial small town, Monday give them the opportunity to live vicariously through the Quarterback rallying his troops out of the trenches. Innovative artist during the Italian Renaissance, inspired followers of their craft think outside the box.
            Artist such as Leonardo Di Vinci and Raphael, were highly regarded artists during the Italian Renaissance for creating master pieces such the sculpture of David and the Mona Lisa, these pieces presently serve as motivation for up and coming artist. The passionate valiant efforts of these artists serve as a tool to encourage people within the art realm to ascend at aspect of their life that they are passionate about. During a performing art show while at boarding school, the euphoric sound of listening to a fellow school mate sing a song with passion that I was not familiar with inspired me to put my heart into performing arts.

            In conclusion, the idea of everyone being a hero serve as a subjective belief, depending on the individual. Being cognizant of your surrounding and everyday experiences help you develop as a person, due to inspiration occurrence that take place. A man saving a child from a lion’s den does not occur every day.  A man working every day to support a stable household or a woman living out her childhood dream of performing in front of a mass of people is more likely to occur, which inspires a person to live with as well as seek passion.
