Recommended: Reflection in psychological

The self-directed search produced a very interesting code for myself after completion and the codes were social, investigative and conventional (SIC). The RIASEC hexagon breaks down these codes and gives descriptions of each one of the codes. The way these codes are explained in a sense doesn’t fit me and yet in other ways they are me. I agree with the social code because I like to help people and interact with others. The investigative code according to the explanation is math and science problem solvers (Reardon, Lenz, Peterson & Sampson, 2012). I agree with the science aspect of the code but math isn’t one of my favorite things to do. The same can be said for the conventional code as I am organized but again I am not a fan of math or dealing with numbers. In most ways I do agree with the codes and how they represent me, however, I do not agree with all of the definition of each code and how they represent me.
Some of the careers that this code produced as interests for me are post-secondary teacher, high school teacher, nurse, occupational therapist and mental health counselor (V...

  • The Importance Of Conformity In Society

    772 Words  | 2 Pages

    Pursuing a personal desire and choosing to conform to societal expectations is a challenging decision to make. A person must decide if their personal desire is worth risking the shame and judgment of others or is conforming the route to take because it is easier. When pursuing a personal desire one must ask itself if it is worth the hardship to accomplish one's desire or if it is best left alone and repressed, in hopes of finding comfort in conformity. John Laroche from The Orchid Thief expresses his personal desire without a care for conformity or societal expectations. Nevertheless, Laroche never stopped being strange as he grew up with fascinations of many objects such as orchids, turtles, old mirrors and fish tanks.

Theoretically, according to Allan Johnson, social construction of difference, is created between two groups, one groups that has privileges and the ability to pass through society as “normal’. Some humans that are considered to be the oppressed are “non-normal and do not get the same privileges of the domain group. Johnson also uses the example of American woman who has not had any contact with white society. As of what the women knows, she is merely aware that she is an African American woman, not considered to be a black woman, in her state of

  • Analyzing Career Theories

    958 Words  | 2 Pages

    Application of career theories to my own life allows for analyzing past and future career decisions. Holland’s Theory of Careers states that one’s vocation is an expression of self, personality, and way of life. There is an indisputable and fundamental difference in the quality of life one experiences if they choose a career one truly enjoys, versus choosing a career one detests. A true testament to the validity of Holland’s theory, my job/career choices reflect my interests, as well as the evolution of my personality (internal self). My first job as a fine jewelry specialist and second job as a make-up artist echo my love of the fashion world. As I matured and became less fascinated by presumed “glamour” careers, I became captivated by physical fitness, nutrition, and medicine; I received my national fitness trainer certificate so that I may become a personal trainer. Nevertheless, my career decisions do not fit uniformly into merely one career theory.

  • Social Structure and Its Effect On Our Lives

    1991 Words  | 4 Pages

    Social structures are constraints that affect the lives of both the affluent and the indigent members of society.  Each society has its own set of social arrangements for example; class, gender and ethnicity are all constraints that each society has to deal with in one way or another.  One of the most fundamental of the social structures would be class.  Class structure is found in all societies and is the key source of economical inequality.  Members of different class groups start their lives with unequal opportunities.  This means that when someone is born into a poor household   they will undoubtedly remain in the same economical situation they began in.  Gender is another important issue when regarding structures.  For years women have struggled to be accepted into the workforce and although there have been many improvements on the treatment of female employees there is still a long way to go to reach equal opportunities.  Ethnicity has a strong bearing on what we can achieve in life by greatly affecting our place in the labour market.  Although Australia is a multicultural society life chances for Australia's own migrants are still less than adequate when it comes to being treated fairly in the workforce.
