There are no secrets one can use to become successful. Success truly is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure. Preparation is a key component of success.

‘Natural Law has no serious weaknesses.’ Discuss. The natural law theory is approach from an absolutist point of view which expresses that morality is set from birth. What is right and wrong, good or evil can be perceived almost instantly by everyone because morality is universal it is not a relativist thing that can change with situation. Also, natural law does not adjust to public opinion; it is an invisible measure which never changes. It can be seen as a good approach to morality as it does not allow people from different denominations such as cultures or where you are born or in different situation they may find themselves to build their own moral rules and framework to life, it is personal but is guided by these innate rules.
Describe and evaluate the humanistic approach in psychology The humanistic approach contrasts all the other approaches for one simple reason; this is that the humanistic approach believes that we have free will, this is because we are able to make conscious decisions for our self and chose our own path in life, and for example, the behaviourist approach is deterministic, as the environment determines our behaviour. Rogers stated that certain environments are needed in order for a child to achieve their full potential as an adult. Rogers said we need a condition consisting of positive regard. This means knowing that somebody loves you no matter what you do. He said we all need conditional positive regard from our parents, and if we did not receive this is can lead to psychological problems in our future.
He found this to be a necessity, order for him to speak universal truths and express his own genius and be believable to others. Emerson felt that nothing in this world can bring one peace but one’s self and that only the triumph of principles can bring one peace. These last two lines from “Self Reliance” essay represent Emerson’s individualistic concepts (Ralph 4). Emerson values the equal individual that is in touch with their universal genius. Fredrick Douglass is evidence of discovering his own brilliance and universal truths.
The rules of our country are meant to keep Patriotism alive. Because of the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, it is easier to show your patriotism. Also, those who disagree with the opinions of a neighbor do not have the right to declare them wrong. And even someone doing the bare minimum is still doing something to help. If everyone in this nation tried just a little harder to help boost and support the economy, then we would not only be more Patriotically unified, but it would really do some good in helping repair the state of the
These serve us day by day and cost us nothing. The harnessing of the water and the generation of steam were great advances. As a result he supports man’s employment of steam rather than waiting on "favoring gales," to drive him across the earth. Emerson states that “Nature, in its ministry to man, is not only the material, but also the process and the result. All the parts incessantly work into each other’s hands for the profit of man.” Emerson proposes that it is the purpose of Nature to serve.

Conserving Natural Happiness In Paul Bloom's essay titled, "Natural Happiness", Bloom believes that, "We thrive in the presence of nature and suffer in its absence" and that "Real natural habitats provide significant sources of pleasure for modern humans" which should make the preservation of the natural world important to us (679). According to Bloom, nature's positive impacts should be enough reason for conservation and that technology shouldn't outweigh natures existence. I believe that nature is important to our happiness, but unfortunately we take it for granted and progressively live our lives engaged in technology pushing us to forget the powerful healings of "natural happiness". Paul Bloom's purpose for writing his essay is to argue that the pleasure nature provides to humans is a significant reason for its preservation. His argument is apparent in the first paragraph when he says, "Few people need convincing that the destruction of rain forests, mass extinction of species, and the melting of ice sheets in Greenland would all be very bad things" (677).
Just how Rousseau states, “Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves”, we all take into consideration of what’s in front of us and how everything that you visualize and do has an effect on our lives. However, each and every different person has their own utopia. Utopia is your perfect world or society. It is a world of our choices, and how the world meets every single expectation of our lives. Most people would like to believe that a perfect utopia would be no hate or discrimination or that being rich and famous would fulfil their lives.
However the timing quality and degree of the ageing process are highly variable and very different for each individual.

Institutionally companies, health care system, and welfare funds only confirm to a larger extent how has the ageism entered in the modern society.
