Dan Patrick: A Critical Thinker Critical thinking has been the foundation for many great success stories throughout history. There are several elements to critical thinking. Critical thinking begins with the desire to improve what we think and asking the right questions (Browne and Keeley, pg. 2). Critical thinking requires analysis, evaluation, and research (Barnet and Bedau pg.
Abraham Maslow developed a model known as The Hierarchy of Needs (1) as a theory for understanding human motivation and personal development. The whole basis behind Maslow’s model is that we are all motivated by needs, there are different levels to these needs and at each level the need needs to be addressed and satisfied to achieve fulfilment. ‘All the evidence that we have indicates that it is reasonable to assume in practically every
Humanistic Theory Page 1 Humanistic, Evolutionary and Biological Theories By Team A General Psychology June 5, 2010 Humanistic Theory Page 2 There are several different theories that will be explained in this paper. We will also give our opinions of what each one means to each of us. The theories that will be discussed are Humanistic Theory, Biological and Evolutionary Theories and Drive Reduction Theory. We, as a team, thought that the humanistic theory was the most important theory to us. We each had our own reasons why the humanistic theory was important to us.
Organismic experiencing is one of the most important and fundamental construct in Carl Rogers’ person-centered approach. His primary intention as a counselor was to facilitate the client’s being more in touch with his or her body. Rogers postulated two structures or processes: organismic experiencing and self. Experience refers to everything potentially available to awareness occurring within the organism at any given moment. Such experience includes both conscious or symbolized and unconscious or unsymbolized processes.
Even though people tend to believe birth order is determined by generics and environment, initially a person’s personality is determined by their birth order. Personality is vital in a person’s life because it can help with how their life may turn out and whether their traits are positive or negative. Moreover, birth order is the key to shaping a person’s personality by molding a person’s traits, their future careers, and their role among family relationships. For example, the Alfred Alder Institute of San Francisco and Northwestern Washington specializes in countless cases by Alfred Alder and other scientists who attended the institute. Most of the cases that are studied at the institute are Classical Alderian Depth Psychology, which is what Doctor of Philosophy graduate, Henry T. Stein, studies and made a website based on the studies of Alfred Alder (Stein).
Erikson suggests that there is still plenty of room for continued growth and development throughout one’s life. Erikson put a great deal of emphasis on the adolescent period, feeling it was a crucial stage for developing a person’s identity. Like Freud and many others, Erik Erikson maintained that personality develops in a predetermined order, and builds upon each previous stage. This is called the epigenic principle. The outcome of this 'maturation timetable' is a wide and integrated set of life skills and abilities that function together within the autonomous individual.
In most cases there is more than reason or cause for disorders of all kinds. In most cases biological, psychological, and or social factors play a huge role. According to an article I read, The Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Human Behavior, “There is an important inter-relationship between nature (biological and temperament) and nurture (the social environment and life experiences) in the formation of personality.” (Hoermann, Zupanick, Dombeck, 2007) I find this statement to be very true. There are many reasons why we develop to become the people we are as adults. This is all based on how and who raised us.

Communication technology is an integral part of social life. Communication enriches the human experience by promoting unity, improving emergency response time, thereby saving lives, and has improved the quality of education. Unity amongst humans plays a key role in the preservation of the species. Ever since the first human set foot on Earth, they have had a natural curiosity; and, this curiosity is one of the defining elements of humanity. Through the lengthy voyages of such explorers as Magellan, Columbus and Cortez whose excursions lasted months if not years, humans have been expanding the boundaries of our collective knowledge.
