Beneficial effects of positive emotions on people Positive emotions impact behaviors and influence social interaction of the wellbeing of humans by affecting psychological functioning, primarily biological or chemical reactions. Before the positive psychology, people have focused on stress fixing models in health, preferably over the developing models. Impacts of positive emotions can be appreciated by considering feelings within a social and psychological context. The positive emotion approach is opposite to how people viewed the general psychology by focusing on the overshadowing of disorders and fixing what is wrong with the cognition and not focusing on what should be done to achieve it. Examples of positive emotions that are valuable to rational human beings are joy, happiness, gratitude, inspiration, hope, pride, interest, love, appreciation, enthusiasm, and patience, among others. Positive emotions may function as nutrients for overall human wellbeing. Daily experiences of positive emotions help us to be resilient and improve our cognitive reasoning and thinking. This essay is to look at how positive emotions impact flourishing in social, biological, and psychological contexts of human development and enrichments. Positive emotions are…

Brain Implant Background Information Brain implant is a new technology that will enhance intellectual abilities. Those who will need this technology will have a neurosurgeon place a small electronic chip in their brain. The device will improve mental functions like memory, computation skills, and language abilities, among others. Neurosurgeons will determine the best location to place the chip in the human head. These health professionals will have another role of removing the device if it experiences malfunctions. The cost-intensive process of installing the equipment may discourage most middle and low-income earners from accessing the technology. However, such limitations may not hinder an effective implementation and adoption of the novel technology. Conclusion Although the brain implant may not be accessible to all people due to social and financial factors, people with interest in enhancing their brain functions can venture into the technology to realize benefits like memory enhancement, improved vision, unique cognitive skills, restoration of speech, and increased social satisfaction. Premise 1 Brain implant enhances once memory. Scientists and researchers have discovered the “possibility of restoring and enhancing” one’s consciousness (Faber…

Cognitive Unconsciousness and Motivated Unconsciousness And Review of Subliminal Perception and Priming Abstract The world of today has experienced an exemplary inclusion of unconsciousness in the quest to understand human behavioral differences. This paper explores the main differences between motivated unconsciousness and cognitive unconsciousness based on the book Personality and Psychology: Domains of Knowledge about human nature by Larsen, R. and Buss, D.M (). It also outlines a review of the empirical work on subliminal perception and priming. From the findings, the most appealing type of unconsciousness has been included, along with the reasons for the selection of the type of unconsciousness. Finally, this paper employs a guide on new empirical research which may further help to distinguish between cognitive unconsciousness and motivated unconsciousness.   Keywords: Cognitive unconsciousness, motivated unconsciousness   The Difference Between Cognitive Unconsciousness and Motivated Unconsciousness     One of the most significant aspects of human psychology is mind unconsciousness. It owns a reasonable share in learning the importance of various attributes concerning human behaviors ( Ap Dijksterhuis, 2009). Different psychologists and researchers have presented different types of unconsciousness…

Committing a crime Committing a crime brings shame and guilt to the suspect, which is subtle (McTaggart 2012). The feeling of guilt and or shame may have different outcomes on the suspect. One of the results will be taking a flight to seek asylum in a different state or even hiding his/her whereabouts.  Guilt makes the suspect regretful, remorseful, and experience tension. These feelings may trigger reparative actions such as apologies, confession, and costs in compensation for the damage created. Shame is the painful feeling directly on the suspect. The suspects will often defend themselves in aggressive forms, such as shifting the blame to others or even denying their actions. The suspects who experience guilt and shame but fail to put a blemish on others, in most cases, are likely to go to jail, unlike their counterparts. Many experts argue that although it all depends on defense mechanisms and experience of their lawyers, actions by suspects to fly or hide their whereabouts after committing a crime is an indication of knowledge and consciousness of guilt. Flying or concealing whereabouts without…

      The Urban Underworld Through this time, a new generation of criminals was born. It was a secret world of informal yet intricate pickpocket networks, walls, drug users, and men of faith who structured their everyday lives around common illegal activities. One judge found that these practices represented creative lawlessness focused on extravagance, greed, and the pursuit of great wealth. Now, there was a new “division of offenders.” Some of these illegal undertakings were regional, encouraged by modern inventions such as the railroad and the telegraph, economic advances such as standardized paper currency, and current poisoning havens such as “dives” and opium dens. Appo had hardly seemed to be a candidate for any illegal activity at first glance; his diminutive size and physical appearance evoked no fear. He was less than five feet, five inches in height by the age of eighteen and weighed a mere 120 pounds. It all seemed small about him: his thin forehead, short nose, slim jaw, and tiny ears that sat low on his head. Although Appo face showed features of the Irish heritage of…

PSYCHOLOGICAL REASONS FOR AGEING Liliane Israel defined psychological aging as an “effect of time on a man’s personality and his emotional and spiritual life”. The process of human aging is complex and individualized, occurs in the biological, psychological and social sphere. Biological aging is defined as (Filip R.) the natural occurrence of irreversible, increasing with age changes in metabolism and the physicochemical properties of cells, leading to impaired self-regulation and regeneration, and structural and functional changes in tissues and organs. The biological agents include: physical inactivity, improper nutrition, psychomotor load, acute and chronic medical conditions, and the psychosocial: changes in the environment, isolation, loneliness, and lack of preparation for old age. Circulator system changes. Along with age, there occurs a decrease in the velocity conduction of myocardial cells, hypertrophy of the left ventricle, an increase in the number of cells of connective tissue, and the deposition of calcium and lipofuscin, as well as amyloid degeneration, fatty degeneration, calcification and fibrosis of the valve and mitral apparatus. Diameter expansion of the arteries is diagnosed, together with thickening of the medial and…

Don Giovanni Giovanni is a standard opera produced by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1787 based on the story of Don Juan. In the show, Don Giovanni is the protagonist, and he retells the romantic adventures and stories of Don Juan. In the first act, Giovanni plays different roles alongside his servant Leporello. In the first act, the two are dynamic as their roles differ with Giovanni being the powerful, nobleman who is much of seducer. He is portrayed as an unprincipled seducer who doesn’t care about the people he seduces. Leporello plays the role of a servant who watches him doing wrong things. He is terrified of what he has done, and instead of biding his time, he threatens him to change his evil ways. In Act 1, their two roles intertwine in the 20-25 minute when Leporello, who acted as a troubled by his boss’s behavior, starts seducing Elvira even singing his “Madamina.” The catalog aria sung by Leporello, Giovanni servant, is all about Don’s romantic adventures. When Giovanni slept with Elvira, she seduced her and vanished. On his…

Faith Seeking Understanding Describe the meaning and significance of the description of Christianity as “faith seeking understanding.” Faith seeking understanding translates to understanding intellectually what we already believe. According to Christianity, faith comes from hearing and obeying God’s word, then seeking to understand the gospel’s divine and distinctive concepts. Daniel J. Treier, in his book, Introducing Evangelical Theology states that ‘In faith, we hear God’s speech; in seeking we prayerfully contemplate the sources of this divine revelation; in pursuit of understanding we practice theological disciplines.’ The book claims that faith is personal and involves a whole person as in Mark 12:29, where we are commanded to love God with everything we have. When Ahaz disobeyed God by forming a foreign alliance because he did not believe that God would save Judah, God told Ahaz in Isaiah 7:14, “Unless you believe, you shall not understand.” Without faith, we cannot hear God’s word and without seeking understanding and will tend to twist the scriptures according to our own understanding[1]. The Holy Spirit aids us in hearing God’s Word, interrupting our vague understanding,…

Critical Analysis of the Gospels The Gospel of Jesus Christ remains a legendary story couched on the page of history. A true story told from four different perspectives with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Savior, mighty King, and served as the central figure of these respective narratives. The gospels may be classified into two categories, the first dubbed the “synoptic” because of their striking similarity, while the other is the Gospel of John widely attributed to the apostle John. The Gospel of Mark is one of the Synoptics and thus gives a clear presentation of the “beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ” though to a particular target group, unlike Matthew, Luke, or John.  However, like its counterpart gospels, Mark comes along with a graphic unique approach narrating the good news. This Gospel is comparatively shorter than the other two synoptic gospels (shorter than John’s Gospel as well: Barnes) and unique in approach to the presentation of facts, probably because of the author’s intentions, motives, or target readership. That said, this particular Gospel is an excellent enlivening depiction of…
