Influence of Cultural A person’s culture can be defined as everything that makes up an individual’s life. Culture influences in the development of a child continues into adulthood.

Researchers today have found more detailed information about the brain and its activity. Memories are important to shape individuals life. There are instances in life where individuals can reshape their memories, which in fact can ultimately change their perspective or belief of what actually occurred.

Loftus reveals several examples where people have been through incidents where their memory has failed to tell the truth.
“Anybody who's ever gone through a hard time - any outsider's perception, no matter how much information they're given, they have no idea what the person's life is like. “ Amy Grant— Introduction -- Being isolated from the world can be though on any person and any creature. We were made to be in contact with other human beings just like us. Making contact with different people can have a huge impact on our lives, but mostly, it builds on our personality. Being an outcast also keeps you from being in contact with others.
IB Psychology 1 H435-2 Erikson’s psychological theory of psychosocial development in adolescents has been supported and disputed, showing many strengths and weaknesses, by a multitude of case studies most specifically Rutter et al and Espin et al. Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan and shows how he believes that personality develops in a series of eight different stages. Each stage in Erikson’s theory is concerned with becoming competent in an area of life and experiencing a conflict that serves as a turning point in development. He believes that if the “stage” is handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery but if the stage is handled poorly, the person will emerge with a sense of inadequacy. In Erikson’s view he sees these conflicts centered around developing a psychological quality or failing to develop that quality.
This human process is called social development. This being said, it is a continual change of human behaviors, feelings, and interpersonal thoughts; which will continue to develop over our life-span. Each phase of personal development will be essential in overall growth during childhood through adulthood. Social influences come from solitary comrade or group settings, which can have powerful effects on personal behaviors. The extent in which individuals are influences can depend on self-esteem levels, and individual strengths from moral, values to self-identity.
When carrying out group hypnosis, it is almost impossible to use personalised inductions. This is because each person in the group will have different preferences, values and beliefs and personalising the induction to only one person would be a disadvantage to each other person. This is also the case for inductions which are used in hypnosis CDs and DVDs. This material is widely used by the public who have not had an initial consultation with a hypnotherapist and so the hypnotherapist has no choice but to present a general induction as they have no chance to make a decision about their market. It is believed that the authoritarian technique is difficult to be used in group hypnotherapy sessions (Hadley and Straudacher, 1996), as well as permissive screeds.
To determine what our true reality is creates more questions than answers, reality can be distorted in many ways, but our true reality will never be know to us, we can only find the illusion that is our reality, it can change, be manipulated and guide us through the word we live in today. Our reality will never be proven to be true nor will it ever be proven to be false as our reality is what we make of it. We all have our own small illusions to escape from the true reality that follows us, creates us and guides us throughout our life, these being television, games, sports ext. All of which are illusions which we fall into because we feel safe, secure where outside our small illusions lies a reality which we can not bare to face alone as we have more questions than answers, we don't know the possibilities as said “Knowledge is power” - Francis Bacon we seek knowledge and to do so we must face our reality. As shown throughout “Inception” we see how an illusion can easily become somebodies reality as shown when Mal commits suicide because in her reality she believes they are still dreaming and in order to 'wake up' she needs to commit suicide.
However, his way of doing things and going against certain processes provided some criticism from many critics in the psychiatric community. Therefore, this paper will elaborate on some of those criticisms and as well as the acceptance of person-centered therapy. Criticisms of Rogers's Personality Theory One criticism is that his methods can be used on each and every problem. The issue with this is there is no evidence that a problem like schizophrenia and personality disorders respond well to his approach. Especially today with schizophrenia there is a strong biological component.
Have you ever had two friends who attended the same event give you completely different reports of what happened? These conflicting viewpoints occur because we all see the world differently. We all have beliefs, biases, and perceptions that cause us to view things the way we do. While these differences are what make us each unique and assure that the world is an interesting place, they can make it difficult to determine what is really true and what isn't. Scientists over the centuries found they faced the same problems when it came to sorting out the truth from non-truths.
Would one believe that such a struggle is worth the fight when it is impossible for any mere human being to ever reach a state of omniscience? My personal belief is that this idea is absurd. It is absolutely true that if one were to spend the majority of their time contemplating time, existence, religion, and some of the various other principles in Voltaire’s story that they would quickly find themselves living a life full of despair and longing. The reality of the situation, however, is that most humans would not find it relevant to incorporate this practice into their everyday lives. If every person found it pertinent to question life in general, there would be no advances made in the modern world.
