Self-Improvement: Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power Of Positive Thinking"
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Of all the potentially mind-lifting experiences that help individuals overcome bad times in their lives, none is more effective than the overwhelming influence of positive thought. People tend to forget they hold the power over how they respond to a given situation that may confront them. Those who consider daily struggles as 'problems' immediately sidetrack their inherent ability to reach a solution; others, however, who perceive these struggles as 'challenges' immediately being to formulate a plan of resolution rather than dwell upon the negativity of the situation. Norman Vincent Peale, who embraced this approach to everyday life and sought to share it with the rest of the world when he penned The Power of Positive Thinking, teaches readers to eradicate such distracting and harmful factors as self-doubt, stress, worry and resentment in exchange for refocusing upon positive thought.

Self-Perception/Self-Presentation
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that examines the topic of stereotyping and racial prejudice and how this affects the ways in which people perceive each other and themselves. Part of the fabric of culture is that people tend to define what they mean by "people" as those who share the common characteristics of the most dominant group. Even in countries, such as the US, which pride themselves on being "colorblind," there is the unspoken assumption that people of color are "other." In other words, the dominant mainstream defines itself simply as "people" who, being white, do not feel the need for a designation of race or ethnic identity. This feature of society is problematic in an age where populations are extremely diverse, as social forces can affect not only the way that people of color are perceived but also the ways in which they perceive themselves, that is, their sense of self-presentation.

The development of self deficits in terms of separation and individuation reaches its apex by age three, according to researcher Margaret Mahler's findings, a psychological point that relates directly to Gillian's inability to realize herself as an individual. The developmental period between three months and three years is critical to how a person ultimately deals with emotional situations in his or her future; in Gillian's case, Ms Smith sabotaged any normal development by imparting the exact same stringent and controlling demands she sought to escape from her own mother.
