The way that we think can make a situation appear negative or positive. As stated by Spoors et al two people in exactly the same situation can view the same situation entirely different depending on whether they have a positive optimistic outlook on life or a negative pessimistic outlook. Cognitive Therapy, a form of therapy which aims to replace negative or distorted thought with more positive and rational ones, by developing strategies to actively promote more positive thinking has proved to be effective in many cases of depression and anxiety. By replacing negative thoughts with more positive thoughts encourages more positivity and can often assist in reversing a downward spiral of negative thinking and result in a more positive and pleasant outcome. In a study conducted by Martin Seligman cited by Spoors et al, Seligman found that happiness levels increased in participants in the study when they were encouraged to focus on more positive things that had happened in their past, and to reflect on their own personal strengths and to write a daily list of things that had gone well and the reasons why.
These anecdotes accentuate the problems that the Amish have when they participate in rumspringa, they help create a version of reality which Walker wants the reader to believe is the solemn truth. The dialogue used includes many profanities and colloquial language which exemplifies the subject's relaxed lifestyle and cruised approach to life and its challenges. The use of shocking and confronting dialogue is carried out to challenge and dispute the viewer's personal perspective on the contrasting Amish and modern civilised societies. Editing is a powerful tool in the construction of an argument used to amend our personal
UNIT 11 – Principles of Personal Development in Adult Social Care Outcome 1.1 Reflective Practise is the ability to look back on a situation or activity that you have done, and thinking about how it could have been done differently. It helps us to develop different approaches and to gain new insights into ways in which we learn. 1.4 Everyone had different values, beliefs and preferences, and this is what makes a person an individual. People generally tend to favour other individuals who share the same or similar ideals to themselves, but working within the Adult Health and Social Care Sector you are bound to come across several people who have different ideals to yourself. It is important to adopt an open minded approach and understanding to other peoples beliefs, and not expect them to conform or cooperate to your ideals as this can only cause further complications and conflicts.
1. In the Neostoic view (such as held by Martha Nussbaum and Carl Ratner) emotions are just the other side of the coin of our rational and moral reasoning which composes our world-view, (a set of concepts, values, beliefs and emotions that can change due to new insights and experiences). Let's look at this Neostoic view of the emotions as cognitive and evaluative personal judgements, and how they are also connected to cultural (macro) attitudes, beliefs and social relations. Nussbaum says that it is as important to nourish and cultivate prosocial emotions (love, compassion, peace, goodness) as to create institutions of justice. Her Neostoic view of emotions springs from the stoic philosopher Hrisip.
Jumpa Lahiri’s anthology, “Interpreter of Maladies” is an exploration of emotional anguish, confusion, self-realisation and the ultimate success of human nature reflected in the Indian migrant experience. explores how human beings behave the same and suffer same conflicts from wherever they originate. stories in which she deals with questions of identity, alienation and the plight of those who are culturally displaced. To begin with, the unwillingness to adapt into a new culture will not allow two cultures to live with one another. This stance was clearly built up in Lahiri’s depiction of Mrs Sen, she came to America with her husband, a professor who adjusted himself finely into the new culture and barely had an understanding of her malady- including the fear of learning to drive and finding the equilibrium of facing new life and homesickness.
So even though hope can bring encouragement, it can also cause distress. As Samuel Johnson once said, “Hope itself is a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords; but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain” (“Hope Quotes”
It is slick to see what the standards and estimations of these better places are and contemplate internally what else in my life would be diverse in view of the social contrasts that impact me as a person.

These are all inquiries that affected by our general public and society which encompasses us; it is fascinating to sit and miracle what may have happened in the event that you were only conceived in an alternate area of the world. It additionally helps you to comprehend why individuals act the way they do because people have different mind sets and lifestyles. This is critical in light of the fact that by learning and knowing these diverse traditions and standards it makes yourself be all the more tolerating and tolerant of
Acute eye-contact means truthfulness and means sincerity. Hand gesture is a way of communicating with others which meanings are very different by cultures and it could be misunderstood easily. For example, the thumbs up sign in western countries means something you approve of and things are going well. However, in the Middle East, this sign is considered rude and offensive. In addition, using the left hand to present or receive an object in Middle East countries is considered
Are emotions universal, or are they socially constructed? Emotions are an experience of disgust, happiness, sadness, fear, anger and surprise that helps us form and engage our relationships (Dacher, Oatley, & Jenkins, 2013). These six basic emotions are universal because they are expressed in all cultures, but the reactions to these emotions are socially constructed. Boiger and Mesquita (2012) claimed that most of the emotions happen in the contexts of relationships and social interactions. When the emotions are socially constructed, we are stating that, due to different cultures the communications of emotions are different, because diverse cultures have different facial expressions, and different nonverbal behaviour for these emotions.
