Many philosophers' books have been criticized, but the philosopher Thomas Nagel is right to doubt the sciences ability to explain everything in life. If every person believes in science that we are made of cells, organs, the cells are made of organic matter. Organic matter is made up of chemicals.

However, Nagel views it in a different way by saying man can reason abstractly, even grapple with various desires and values. Nagel asks what if the science fundamentally does not can Continue reading...

Humans often transpose old pain and trauma onto newer relationships, which is the emblem of the Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA) trauma syndrome. Traumatized people often hope that they can lead normal lives and leave their past behind them, especially when they enter adulthood and become older and wiser. Unfortunately, infantile states of feelings, emotions, and images that people hope to forget or repress are often triggered. Indeed, confronted by an overly critical boss, nitpicky spouse, or a child throwing a tantrum over not getting his or her way, an ACoA becomes irrationally unnerved by their present day circumstances Continue reading...

“Personality” is a word which can be used both in everyday speech and in specialized psychological discourse. The word is so popular that we do not think twice what it really means. We use it to characterize people, their skills, and temper. We distinguish people according to personality types. Psychologists also pay great attention to characteristics of each personality type with a view of explaining either people’s behavior in different life situations or their reaction to certain events. Paying attention to different aspects of human personality study and, perhaps, pursuing different goals, researchers offer numerous and various classifications Continue reading...

Self-regulation

It is evident that cultures shape the interpersonal relationships amongst their members and the earliest interactions between the child and the caregiver. The patterns of infant-parent relationship and the family relationships reflect the social hierarchies, cultural values and methods of survival inherited through different cross generational populations. The attainment of self-regulation among young children is among one of the major milestones in the development of that child. Heidi (2014) argues that this process involves two processes, and they include the mobilization of the desired response from the social agents in the society and the inhibition of prohibited behavior on Continue reading...
