Recognize Walking in the halls of a high school, every-day there are girls that ask themselves the question, “Why, why do boys not like me?” There are many girls that base their self-worth on how desirable they are. So when they are left feeling unwanted they begin to believe that there is something wrong with them, when in reality, there isn’t. The issue is that in today’s society, relationships are heavily based on looks and sex, when they should really be based on the ability to get along, interests, and how well people communicate with one another. This obsession with being in a relationship with someone who is physically attractive redirects people away from looking for the right qualities and the right reasons to be with a partner.

Being an extrovert, is something that is essential in making any relationship an entertaining one. I am almost fearless when it comes to trying new things. I am always willing to undertake new and exciting activities that I usually would not be prone to participating in. Opening yourself up to new activities is very important because it not only allows for growth in an individual, but it also creates the possibility of enjoying something that you were previously unfamiliar too. Exposing yourself to these new experiences ignites a positive change in a person that keeps them humble and more rounded (Lickerman). My livelihood and passion for life is something that makes everyday activities a little more interesting. No one enjoys being bored, especially me. Being able to joke around and have fun with your partner is essential in making a relationship successful. In fact, Jeffery Hall, an associate professor of communication studies, even stated that “If you meet someone who you can laugh with, it might mean your future relationship is going to be fun and filled with good cheer.” It also been found that the more a couple laughs together, the more interested they are in each other and the likelihood that a long lasting relationship will be built increases (Howard). All things considered, an outgoing personality is extremely advantageous in a relationship. …show more content…
My parents are both immigrants from a country in Europe called Macedonia, making me the first generation in my family to be in the United States. Interracial relationships can be an extreme eye opener for demonstrating how other parts of the world operate. It allows for the two people to be able to participate in different customs and interact with others of another culture. This ultimately leads to a more understanding and accepting personality when it comes to the beliefs of other people (Axner). In addition, my cultural background has enabled me to travel across the world to visit family and be fluent in two other languages. A relationship with me would include bringing my partner along to be a part of many family traditions such as, dances, tasting new foods, and learning parts of a foreign language. These are all favorable characteristics due to the fact that when a someone engages in unaccustomed activities, it promotes growth and expands a person’s worldview. At the same rate, when one is involved with someone in a contrasting culture, it forces the couple to have a higher level of tolerance and respect towards others
The book Quiet by Susan Cain explains that extroverts are the type of people who are talkative and sociable, therefore, they could easily get others' attention during various conversations with the topics that they are discussing. Introverts, on the other hand, are the more quiet type. The ideas from introverts are usually drowned because they do not talk as much as the extroverts do. Introverts don’t expect themselves to handle leadership positions, but it doesn’t mean they cannot be successful leaders at their jobs. We often assume that talker as smarter than the quiet type and perceive talkers as leaders. However, introverts actually make the best leaders by carefully listen to what their followers have to say; not only because introverts gain knowledge by listening, but also their abilities to demonstrate modesty and they are extremely
Living with different kinds of cultures around you is also very knowledgeable to many people. One could learn a lot about someone’s background or country just by interacting or spending some time with them. For example, you can learn about different foods, clothing, fashion, and the kind of lifestyles others might have. Living together helps keeps us in harmony and peace. If we didn’t get along or maybe even share some of the ideas we wouldn’t be such a diverse community. Knowing and underst...
Based on Susan Cain's definition, introverted individuals prefer solitary activities and get exhausted easily by social interaction. They tend to be quite sensitive to external stimulation in general. Extroverted individuals on the other hand are the completely opposite, they prefer group activities and get energized by social interaction. They also tend to be more enthusiastic and more easily excited than introverts. Introverts are expert in working by themselves, however,
In the article the researchers were trying to challenge the sexual strategies theory. It seems as though sexual strategies theory is different genders having different preferences when choosing a mate, in the case of long and short term relationships. The hypothesis at first was that both boys and girls felt that attractiveness was important. Girls would be more inclined to date someone because of social status and that boys would be the complete opposite. They also expected that social status would only become important when the person is attractive and social status would be important no matter if the person is attractive on no for girls. The last thing that was tested was according to Ha (2009) “the potential moderator effects of self-perceived mate value on adolescents desire to date with an attractive person.” Also according to Ha (2009) “They hypothesized that boys and girls preference for attractiveness and high social status would be independent of their own perceived mate value.” The information used to come to result of the theory has been known to be collect using surveys ...
“There’s zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas” (Quiet). You probably find it as no surprise that introverts and extroverts differ in a multitude of ways. Looking for a job? When I was, I came across multiple employers seeking an energetic person. In other words, an extrovert. Now mind you, I was applying for introverted jobs. I’m Currently working at a library despite their job description stating they were seeking someone with an “energetic” personality. But you see if I ran a company, I wouldn’t post what personality type I want. It just doesn’t make sense to me. If anything, I’d want an introvert to be working by my side. Despite the human species overall flaws, it seems as though introverts are more knowledgeable due to their second nature of taking time to think before they speak whereas extroverts will speak now and think later.
Entering a high school today, one might not see too many relationships, but one thing one might see is that the people in a relationship care about dating for a significant amount of time. The teenage culture of the 1950’s believed “going steady was a sign of popularity,” and the popular kids dated each other (Bailey 140). In Rebel Without a Cause, Judy, who is the dominant female of her group
My extroverted personality has always been my signature trait since birth; it thrives best when I'm around others. I switched roles as "the teacher's pet" and "the class clown" often, competing for the highest grade while being the go-to guy for a good laugh. While the spotlight continued
Extraverts are people who are relatively sociable and outgoing while on the opposite end individuals who are introverts are people who would much rather enjoy the company of close friends and family. People who are high in agreeableness are more likely to be trustworthy. Those who are high in conscientiousness are goal-oriented. Individuals high in neuroticism
With the scientists background knowledge of niches and genetics, two hypotheses were formed. Hypothesis # 1: If a person is an extrovert then they will have a higher biological fitness than an introvert because they will have less difficulty finding a partner. Hypothesis #2: If a person is an introvert, then they will be more successful (in terms of money) because they will show more focus in their work environments.
Laughing has health benefits. It is one of the best things a person can do for themselves. It greatly improves health and mood. It boosts the immune system, relaxes the whole body, relieves stress and is good for the heart. (Laughter is the Best Medicine, Melinda Smith, M.A., and Jeanne Segal, Ph.D. April 2016.
My extended family made jokes about me dating from a very young age even though it made me uncomfortable, and the characters I was meant to relate to in media were consistently focused on their looks and romantic relationships. As I grew older and entered puberty I felt awkward and being made fun of by my peers about the way I looked and who I felt comfortable associating with led to me having low self-esteem. By the time I entered high school I was under the impression that part of a woman’s value came from her appearance and ability to attract a mate which led to me developing unhealthy habits in order to control my weight and developing friendships and relationships that were not mutually beneficial. A person’s value and success is not based on their appearance but rather who they are as a person and how hard they work although this is not a view I grew up with it is one I have come to develop through personal experience that has led to me becoming a healthier and happier

In American culture today, society's view of beauty is controlled by Hollywood, where celebrities are constantly in the lime-light. The media watches Hollywood's every move, and is quick to ridicule “A-listers” whenever they dare to gain a few pounds or to let an uncontrollable pimple show. The media has created a grossly distorted mental image of what should be considered beautiful, and with almost every junior high and high school-age girl reading and viewing this message, the idea has been instilled in them as well. This view of beauty is causing many teenage girls to become obsessed with a highly problematic and unattainable goal of perfection.
Extroverts are generally people who have the need to obtain gratification from what is outside the self. They tend to enjoy human interactions and tend to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, and sometimes they can be loud.

While growing up, one of my strengths was being able to get along with many different ethnic groups. At an early age, I was exposed to a wide array of different cultures since my school was very multicultural. Even to this day, I enjoy learning about new cultures because it allows and helps me to understand their way of life. Learning about new and different cultures other then my own makes me appreciate and respect others more than ever. Collaborating with people of different backgrounds allows me to work with a wide range of groups, which in return allows me to understand certain ethnic group’s approach on life. I appreciate the opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds because it allows me to gain insight into other cultures and better develop my interpersonal skills socially and professionally.
