Part A: Q:1 What is the relationship between the “urgency addiction” and the “four human needs and capacities?” The relationship between “urgency addiction” and the “four human needs and capacities” are similar, however; urgency addiction’s need are viewed as temporary fixes to problems that seem important but are not (p. 35). On the other hand, the four human needs and capacities are integrated spiritually, physically, mentally and socially. There are several different aspects that are reflective of the power it has on the quality of life, and the power of the conscience. Both are essential to the point of realization, however, urgency addiction is less important than the four human needs and capacities. Covey, Merril & Merrill made valid …show more content…
It is, self-will, the motivation behind it and the consequences resulting from using it and at times, not using it. It is demonstrated in our society, educational institutions, places of work worship. Humans should have their basic needs met however, the selfishness of some individuals or groups take advantage of others by keeping those basic needs unmet. The challenge is realizing if the basic needs of man are far more important than helping those who’s needs will never be met like in third world countries. Giving back to the world or community is an example of inner peace that passes all barriers of man’s …show more content…
I find time to motivate others to reach their destiny, however when it comes to myself, I am not as persistent as I should be in reaching my own goals. I give up too quickly and make short term decisions that hinders my accomplishments. Q: 2 What is the one activity that you know if you did superbly well and consistently would have significant positive results in your professional life? I was a little hesitant to answer this questions because as I thought about it, the floodgates of missed opportunities opened up in my mind. I think the best way to answer this question is to focus on the future and not the past. I enjoy writing, the one flaw that I have about writing is not writing well, or I should say, writing “achedemically”. I would write a book on the levels of poverty in the United
Although Susanna Kaysen’s rebellious and self-harming actions of coping with her psychosis are viewed by some critics as pushing the boundary of sanity, many people have a form of a “borderline personality” that they must accept and individually work towards understanding in order to release themselves from the confines of their disorder. Kaysen commits to a journey of self-discovery, which ultimately allows her to accept and understand herself and her psychosis.
Sally Satel, author of “Addiction Doesn’t Discriminate? Wrong,” leads us down a harrowing path of the causes and effects that lead people to addiction. It can be a choice, possibly subconscious, or a condition that leads a person left fighting a lifelong battle they did not intend to sign up for. Mental and emotional health/conditions, personality traits, attitudes, values, behaviors, choices, and perceived rewards are just a few of the supposed causes of becoming an addict.
In the reality of the postmodern world, where nature is gone and has been replaced by technology, where the world and humankind have become fused with the machine, and the existence of morality and reality are uncertain, it is difficult to find hope for a better existence or motivation to attempt to change one's existence. Addiction then becomes a logical avenue of escape from these bleak circumstances--not affecting reality, but transforming it into something bearable. The addictions that Case turns to allow him to escape from the hard reality of his life th...
Although we are given free will and choice it is the choice to relinquish ourselves to God and His grace. May (1988) argues that addiction attempts to gain control over the behaviors that lead to shame and guilt. This book may be implemented into counseling to help those struggling between release of addiction and increasing spiritual growth. Ultimately, May (1988) argues that there are three simple ways in stopping addictive behavior results in “don’t do it, refuse to do it, and keep refusing to do it” (p. 178). When clients are able to face the truth of addiction, in their abilities, and longing for God they can begin to fall in love with themselves and the desire to love
A staggering amount of Americans struggle with a form of addiction or “dependency”. According to Winters, 96% of Americans suffer from codependency. Codependency is referred to as a national epidemic, because almost every form of compulsive behavior can be classified as an addiction (1996). Knowing this staggering statistic, we must ask ourselves: How are we contributing to our own codependency?

In brief, addiction is the continued repetition of a behavior despite adverse consequences or a neurological impairment leading to such behaviors. Workaholic or alcoholic persons both share an addiction that leads to unwanted effects on the family and the whole society. The effects of addiction for both Phil and Sanders’s Father is that Phil was a workaholic “type A,” strange to himself, stress made him over weight and he died with heart failure. On the other side, Sanders’s father was an alcoholic and his addiction made him ignore his family and caused him early death. If a person does not want to ever suffer. The significance example for everyone’s life is never enslaving himself or herself to any addiction.
According to Leshner, drug addiction is a chronic brain disease that is expressed in the form of compulsive behaviors (Leshner, 2001). He believes that drug addiction is influence by both biological, and behavioral factors, and to solve this addiction problem we need to focus on these same factors. On the other hand, Neil Levy argues that addiction is not a brain disease rather it is a behavioral disorder embedded in social context (Levy, 2013). I believe, drug addiction is a recurring brain disease that can be healed when we alter and eliminate all the factors that are reinforcing drug addiction.

Since the world is now fully developed to the point where people do not need to worry about their own survival, new problems arise. There are now modern conflicts, such as cancer, pesticides in the food and water, lack of sleep, and unusual addictions like workaholism. With the new world depending on how much money an individual makes, some men and women fall into an obsession with their career. This process is called workaholism, or simply an addiction to work. Workaholics often are not aware they are addicted to their job, or do not want to talk about it. However with workaholism rates rising, society needs to be aware of all the trouble this wolf in a sheep 's costume
When it comes to being persistent there are some important traits that need to be mastered which aren’t that easily to have, these traits are having patience and time. This means that when you want to achieve your goal you need to do it step by step gradually getting better and better over time.

Everyone has their own needs and desires. These desires are genuine and authentic in that it affects everyone emotionally, however social relations and technology play a role in shaping peoples needs and desires. This is thoroughly demonstrated in Sherry Turkle’s work, Alone Together, Leslie Bell’s work Hard to Get, and Ethan Watters work The Mega Marketing of Depression in Japan. Specifically, our needs and desires are authentic in that that Jayanthi and Alicia needed to alter their personalities due to their past, and the children needed an emotional companion and found one with robots, however social relations like the Mega Marketing in Japan that created a need for a specific form of treatment for depression demonstrate that outside sources could play a key role in shaping our needs and desires.
1. I think what makes people happy are basically the ability to interact with their fellow human beings. People always need someone to turn to and share either the problems they are facing or the happy moment they are going through. Another source of happiness is to feel been loved. Love can be a fundamental aspect in human’s life because without love people always feel less secured and stressed. Most importantly health is what determines ones happiness because without good health one cannot be active and might be in great pain which makes the person have nothing to be happy about. If a person health condition is very bad it creates a sad environment not only to him/her but even the people
Perhaps you think you are determined; but in arriving at that assessment, you may only be comparing yourself to you!
