Overcoming Negativity Bias Random acts of kindness entail the unpremeditated and inconsistent actions done by an individual without expecting the same in return. These actions can either be spontaneous or planned with the intent of benefiting others in different ways. The self-reflection elaborates on the various aspects and outcomes from conducting random acts of kindness to the doer. Random Acts of Kindness The primary purpose of engaging me in these random acts of kindness was to help others feel appreciated and comfortable in their environments. The first act of kindness I did was to head to the hospital and donate blood for patients. I chose this activity because helping others by promoting their health outcomes is essential for their wellbeing and that of their families. After the act, I had a self-worth feeling and relieved through slowed and regular heartbeat rate. Secondly, I offered to pay lunch to one of the students seated in the dining hall without eating. I chose to do so because I have experience in how missing a meal affects someone, and by doing so,…
Gendering Of Criminal Justice System The criminal justice system is highly associated with equality among all the people who are its subjects. Regardless of who the person is, their race, economic class, or even sex, the expected results are that if the crime is identical, the punishment given should also be the same. The expectations, though, differ in some cases and are met in others. It all depends on the rules that are set by the law-making bodies of the country, agreements by the judges, or antecedents achieved from a previous court decision. One of the main areas where equality in punishment has raised questions is that of gender. Gender is different from sex; in that sex is only about physical appearance while gender extends to the expectations of society and social constructions. Gender is heavily oriented on the lives of the men and the women in the contemporary world rather than their just being male or female. Hence gender requires consideration when it comes to the criminal justice system, considering that it is a focus more than just how…

Harsha’s decision to donate a third of her salary to the Wet’suwet’en Resistance I was so impressed by Harsha’s decision to donate a third of her salary to the Wet’suwet’en Resistance. This shows her kindness and concern to support the First Nation in question. This nation formed a resistance camp as a means of blocking resource extract industries as well as pipeline corporations from accessing the territory of the Wet’suwet’ en. This came about since these people feel they have the mandate to guard their land against any harm and keep it preserved for tomorrow’s generation. The preservation of the territory is a process that requires funds for it to be successful — guarding means that some people from that Nation spend their time making sure that the resources herein are not misused or exploited in a wrong way. Therefore, Harsha’s donation will be of help in this preservation initiative, and it is going to see the life of the people from this nation become easier. Her decision also impresses me because the Wet’suwet’eners are going to be bold and…
Losing my grandmother It is fascinating how, in most cases, we take things or people in our lives for granted. We rarely have such thoughts as to how it would be without them in our lives. We make plans in preparations for a better future which is not even promised. We never think that such plans can be taken away in seconds. I never had a thought about it myself until the unexpected happened. One morning I woke up exceptionally early ready to participate in swimming competition at the states level. Excitement filled my heart and I couldn’t control my happiness and jovial mood. The winner was to go home with $1,000 and I needed this money to help my parents in paying my school fees. In the night before, I had ensured that every attire I needed for the swimming competition was all set and also slept at 8.00pm to ensure I was relaxed come the competition day. I wanted everything to fall into place as per the plan I had developed. I was up at 5a.m and at…

Culture and environment role in the development of individuals Culture and environment play an instrumental role in the development of individuals in multiple ways. Different societies have varied cultural values that offer yardsticks and parameters for behavioral development, an individual’s belief, and how an individual should behave as dictated by the cultural norms and values in place. Contravention of the existing cultural norms and prescriptions equates to non-conformism, an aspect that is jeered. Thus, culture dictates how an individual should behave and relate with others, and such an issue influences the development of the social, emotional, and psychological view that an individual undertakes. As evident, culture has ideas about what is right or wrong, valued, say, and the correct emotions to employed in different situations, among other vital concepts. On the other hand, the environment (nurture) shapes up the development of an individual in an equally varied manner. It shapes the behavior, individual perception, relationship, and other social aspects that relate to the individual. The environment has factors that could foster or inhibit development among individuals. Thus, for a holistic…
the incel phenomenon is driven by men who believe that society owes them a right to have sex According to Amia Srinivasan, the incel phenomenon is driven by men who believe that society owes them a right to have sex. This belief is one that they are ready to propagate and defend even violently. As such, the incels often support rape or outright protect the culture of rape. They believe that sexual women deserve to be raped and that rape should have shorter terms. Srinivasan states that this entitlement may be a result of patriarchy and a system that has made men believe that women are objects to fulfill their sexual desires. Sex that is championed by patriarchy is always violent regardless of the gender of the participants. As such, there is a need for a political wind of change that also considers the desire of women in the aspect of sex. Since the 1980s, the feminism that pushes for the right to consent when it comes to sex has received massive support from various corners. This has made sex…
