What are the types of arrogance? There are three types of arrogance, as explained below: Individual arrogance: The arrogant person gives himself an exaggerated opinion of his abilities, traits, or achievements that is inappropriate or inconsistent with reality, as he exaggerates his actions, and exaggerates his competencies and skills, which automatically leads to the formation of a distorted image of himself in the eyes of others, which leads to a result opposite to what the arrogant person aspires to. Comparative arrogance: This type arises when the arrogant person makes an exaggerated comparison between his abilities, traits, or achievements and the abilities of others, as this type of arrogance is not limited to exaggerating the image of the self in front of everyone, but is also accompanied by the appearance of an inferior view of others, their achievements, and their abilities in the mind of the arrogant person. Hostile arrogance is the height of arrogance, as it involves an arrogant person defaming others in order to monopolize a position of superiority for himself alone. This arrogant person not only believes in himself, but also believes that others are inferior to him, and acts accordingly, as he often insults them, ignores them, or meets their actions and words with extreme contempt. Who is an arrogant person? Arrogance can be defined as a personality trait that gives a person a feeling of hatred centered around self-esteem; an arrogant person is one who acts as if he is higher and more important than others, and accordingly, he tends to disrespect and belittle others, while at the same time aiming to gain complete admiration and respect from others, in addition to his desire to appreciate everything he does, no matter how great, and for his special qualities and abilities to always be noticed. Reasons for arrogance Arrogance arises in a person for many reasons, including the following: Achieving great accomplishments Arrogance arises in a person's heart when he is able to achieve accomplishments and successes that others around him have not been able to achieve, especially if this accomplishment is tremendous and calls for pride and boasting, as this gives him great self-confidence and respect, and comparisons begin within him between himself and others. Then the person will look with contempt at everyone who has not been able to achieve the same success, because the subconscious mind always compares a person's life with his peers to measure progress in matters that matter to him, and these looks and comparisons may increase in the arrogant person, which makes him always believe that he is the most superior among everyone. Using vanity as a means to unjustifiably elevate one's status An arrogant person may not have achieved any notable accomplishments in his life, but he has adopted the trait of vanity as a means to elevate his status and magnify his abilities, and instead he does so through his work and successes, and in this way he deceives others, and may make them believe that he is the competent person, but soon the matter becomes clear to everyone, and they are surprised and wonder where this vanity comes from and what is the need for this vanity, and they discover that this vanity is baseless. Using vanity as a defense mechanism This is a common reason behind vanity, which is that the person is trying to protect himself through his vanity and exaggerated self-esteem, so he may act arrogantly to hide insecurity, inferiority, lack of confidence, and hide the fear of rejection from others, which makes the person act arrogantly towards them; he believes that vanity enables him in this case to reject others before they reject him, which makes it a preemptive strike in his opinion. This can happen when an arrogant person knows that they are below the required level professionally or socially, which makes them worried that others will find out and be rejected, so the arrogant person may show rejection first, to protect themselves and avoid hurting and being rejected. Seeking attention Arrogant people care a lot about being accepted by others, so arrogance may sometimes be an attempt to attract attention, because no other way to attract attention has worked, and this applies to people who have seen that arrogance has led to them getting a lot of attention in the past; for this reason, they have become motivated to continue this behavior, but once their arrogance becomes unattractive to them, they will abandon this behavior. How to deal with arrogant people Here are some methods that can be followed when dealing with arrogant people:- Be kind to them, without trying to correct their behavior. - Accept the fact that the person is arrogant, and accept the fact that he always feels superior, but on the other hand, it is worth noting the need to be careful not to generate feelings of inferiority and personal frustration. - Avoid direct and individual communication with the arrogant person, as communication may turn into a negative and stifling discussion, so it is better for the discussion to include one or more other people, which makes communication smoother, and the third party may be a helpful solution to reduce the intensity of the discussion with the arrogant person. - Sufficient boundaries must be set in relationships with the arrogant person, by specifying the time and course of the conversation, in order to ensure the safety of the relationship for both parties, and it is advisable to resist any disagreements that would prolong the time allocated for the discussion; and if there is no room for a healthy discussion despite making every possible effort, it may be time to plan to end this relationship; as no one should remain silent and endure abuse, whether in a personal or professional relationship.

The importance of women's work for the family Women's work usually contributes to improving the financial and social status of their families, especially when they are able to achieve a balance between work and family, so most women work to get a fair wage for what they accomplish, and women often prefer to stay in their work if they find it enjoyable, which gives them a positive sense of accomplishment, and the percentages of working women's participation in family income vary, and the average for 2014 was about 40% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and there is no doubt that the income of a working woman, no matter how valuable, contributes to facing financial crises that may face families with limited and middle incomes. The importance of women's work for themselves There are several advantages to women's work and independence, including: Women's self-esteem, which is represented in their desire to learn, develop themselves, and think about important matters. Women's insistence and hard work to achieve what they want. Society's judgment of women based on their performance, abilities, and skills in communicating with others. The ability of an independent woman to achieve balance in her relationships with others without sacrificing her personal freedom for the sake of a relationship. Helping to overcome the idea of discrimination between men and women by women's adherence to their right to work. The importance of women's work for society Women's work has many benefits for the society in which they live, as women's economic empowerment contributes to the growth of the society's economy, supports its productivity, diversifies economic activities, and achieves income equality with men. Women participate in the workforce to improve their standard of living and overcome difficult life circumstances. Working women are distinguished by their interest in humanitarian issues, charitable organizations, helping others, and their ability to convey and communicate complex information in a simple and easy way.

Flexibility in the workplace: The increase in the number of working women has prompted employers to provide new facilities in the workplace to achieve a balance between family and professional life for women, such as providing childcare facilities, placing ATMs in the workplace, and other facilities that did not exist before women came to work, and from which men also benefited.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
