Although at times these labels may be accurate, many of us determine early in an interaction or presentation that we don’t understand the subject, don’t like the person, or find lit-tle of interest or importance in the message. We then tune out the speaker and spend our time thinking about other matters. By not listening to the message, we have no way to assess accurately the value of what we might have heard. Barrier Two: Emotionally Resisting Messages. Often we react quickly to emotionally charged words or subjects.
Why or why not? In my honest opinion prejudice is hard to measure because it cannot accurately be predicted or judge by a test. I feel like prejudice cannot be measured accurately because the test shows the association between different groups. The only thing I can see the implicit association test is measured are the groups that I may belong to or fit in. People cannot show the result of being or prejudice because people are known to select things that they are more familiar with, things that they are more commutable with, and things that they see in their everyday environment.
At the beginning of the text, Kierkegaard says, “before taking the step, he deliberates so long and so carefully that he literally chokes with thought” (3). Thinking before acting is something so common in the present age, and although it may be a good thing to do, as we are ethical beings – it brings out the indolent sides of our character. Usually in thought, we constantly look back at ourselves and reflect on what could or would have happened. We always find an excuse not to act and a great example of this is when Kierkegaard says, “…the present generation, wearied by its chimerical efforts, relapses into complete indolence. In condition is that of a man who has
One reason is that we always think that these things are not worthy to judge, another reason is that we usually do the same thing as them and we don’t like to face the dark side of ourselves. However, when we experience a lot of unfair treatment or pressure, we may become to be depressive and like to complaint or even curse, which is the hotbed for extremity and evil. From now on, the gate of unscrupulous is opening, and our happiness index is sharp declining and is hard to get a favorable
Everyone worries about what people think of them at some time or another, but why do we care so much? “We find our lives are governed by what we imagine other people

Suppressing our own judgment to think; that people have become so blind to their ignorance, and try to use “it must be done, to achieve a greater goal” as an excuse for being ignorant without even knowingly being ignorant. It has become a second nature of ours. How many people must be tested, how many tests must take place, and how much does someone endure for someone to object and say no.

Challenges: How they can make you a better person Every day we are faced with challenges we must overcome, some challenges we face are harder than others and we may require help to break through the barriers we face. If we do not succeed with the challenges that are thrown at us, then we do not grow as an individual. With Dr. Malcolm Sayer in the movie Awakenings, he has trouble with people. At first Dr. Sayer cannot face any challenge that requires him to interact with people unless it involves the things he is passionate about, such as work. Dr. Sayer seems to be a lonely man with severe social anxiety, he would much rather be at home reading or studying his plants than interacting with people.
However, there is something inside holding many of us back. If you’re like me, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Is there something wrong with me?” Our inner voices dictate what we can and can’t do- analyzing what seems so simple to other guys but is absolutely terrifying to you. I’m not talking about delivering the State of the Union Address here. I’m talking about approaching a person and feeling absolutely frightened of what
And every little action constitute to a bigger and better effect. As a youth, involving ourselves in community organizations that work to attain a better nation is important not just for ourselves but most especially for others. Through this, we will be a key in promoting the objectives of that organization. Furthermore, we should also immense ourselves to works that would make us one step closer to our goals. Each day, we have to think that our actions form part of the future that we wish to have.
