Roots
"Do you want to be liked or do you want to be loved?" That’s a hard question, right? For some, it would be easier to answer, and for others, it can be troublesome. But what does the research say? "The Secret to Happiness: Feeling Good or Feeling Right" talks about just that. The article begins with a depicted comparison of Aristotle and Contemporary Research. In his early findings, Aristotle was one of the many founders of theory in the world of psychology. He primarily focused on the psyche, a word used to describe both the mind and soul, to develop a rough framework of human behavior, reasoning, and impulses. Aristotle also believed that the more we process how we truly feel, the happier we are. The article state that “such emotions are not necessary pleasant emotions and may even be unpleasant, like anger or fear.

I Am a Work in Progress
Since the beginning of my educational career, I have always been drawn to the importance of helping others. Before my mother passed away eleven years ago, I always dreamed about becoming a nurse, but it wasn’t until midway through my college experience that I realized that the medical field was not for me. It was during that time when I found myself being challenged. It was also during that time when I found my true passion, the act of servicing my community, working with young women and girls. I began my research on the topic of beauty representation in the media as well as in society and realized the amount of psychological damage, and psychological harm it does to women and girls starting at a young age. It was at that time that I picked up women and gender studies as a major because I was so intrigued.
