Narcissism is derived from the Greek myth of Narcissus, the boy who fell in love with his own reflection. However, Narcissus does not fit the profile of a narcissistic personality disorder, seeing as he fits none of the major traits of NPD. In colloquial language, narcissism is just an obsessive and healthy love for oneself, usually regarding physical appearance. Contrary to popular belief, colloquial narcissism and a narcissistic personality disorder are two very different things. Narcissistic personality disorder is a very deep and rich disorder that is far more complex than the two-dimensional Narcissus.

Decision making; the process of evaluating positives, negatives, and alternatives before selecting an option. To make impactful decisions, one must be able to forecast and weigh all outcomes intelligently, then make the best decision for the situation at hand. However, there is an obstacle, the ego. As defined by Sigmund Freud, ego, is the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and unconscious, distinguishes between reality, and contains ideas about personal identity. It has something of a metaphysical and personal importance that is crucial to decision making and critical thinking. Those who tend to struggle the most with relationships, decision making, and critical thinking, are those who

A class divided was an entertaining video to watch. I enjoyed watching Mrs. Elliott implement her exercise regarding discrimination and racism. It was also interesting how Mrs. Elliott 's third graders responded to her when they were asked a question about black people. Then she began her exercise by stating, "That she was the teacher and since she has blue eyes then blue-eyed people should be on top." Then she stated,"Blue-eyed people are smarter than brown-eyed people. And one of her male students defended his father saying," His father was not that stupid." After his response Mrs. Elliott went on to say,"Blue-eyed people were better than brown-eyed people." What was a little uneasy for me was when the yardstick was misplaced one of the students

My mother, native to the Philippines, grew up in poverty. Although she had little, she always managed to give back to the community. She expressed that it is better to give than to receive. This idea has shaped me into the person I am today. It has taught me to be humble and to always give back to those who are less fortunate. That is why I drift toward activities that can help others and impact society.

Many people believe that having the best nutrition is the hardest thing to consume due to their lack of knowledge of purchasing the right types of foods. However, Muscle & Fitness Magazine’s Will Cockrell can introduce everyone to a guide to consume the healthiest foods.

Although the actions of the students of the Sayreville hazing incident suggests that they thought and acted as adults, this incident of their high school careers should not be used to ruin their future in colleges and life. As most of the students who were involved in the hazing were minors, they could be tried in a juvenile court and have their records closed. According to the New York Times ‘s article on the matter, it stated “A conviction in adult court results in a criminal record, and generally, longer prison terms” (DOYNE). If the students were tried as adults, they could be faced with longer prison sentences and have a criminal record. But whether they are tried as adults or juveniles, teenagers convicted of sex crimes are required to register as sex offenders for at least 15 years (Michon). Some might say that because sexual assault is a heinous crime, those students should have been charged as adults. However, I feel that their actions should have been better monitored and watched over. I do not believe that trying these minors, as adults would benefit them or

Studies have shown that peer support leads to improvement in self-management behaviors of dietary modifications, blood glucose monitoring, and increased physical activity (Murrock, Higgins, & Killion , 2009). Social support provided by peer, family and community members have been effective way to motivated individuals in continuing their attendance in health programs. Health behavior change theories and chronic disease management models highlighted that family support influence individuals affected with chronic illnesses into engaging in self-care behavior (Warren-Findlow & Prohaska, 2008). They are more encouraged by family members to engage in physical activity or weight loss programs. Peer support is also effective among individuals coping

According to Angela Lee Duckworth, grit is defined as having passion and perseverance for long term goals. This trait shows strength in one’s character and the resolve necessary to overcome challenges and achieve an end goal. I displayed this definition of grit whenever I lift weights at the gym. My goal for exercising nearly every day is not only because I want to be healthy or fit; rather, I want to be a stronger person than I was the day before. This mindset of constantly putting in work and sticking with a future goal will help me succeed in finishing a four year optometric program.

In our world, there is a love for mythic, larger than life figures. The reason for this or, rather, one reason for this is the fact that if a hero or icon looked too close to the average person, the hero or icon would end up being rejected out of hand by an audience. This is the reason that there are unrealistic expectations for what the physique of an athlete, performer or model must look like. As much as they’d like to try it, natural body building is not an option for many of them, and they end up taking performance enhancing drugs.

To many people today think going to the gym as a chore, but working out in nature is all about being in the moment rather then to feel like you have to achieve something.

There are many institutions that exemplify what an ideal woman’s body should look like. Media being the most prominent, as a result many women exercise in order to make their bodies fit this ideal.
