Stop Pressuring Married Couples To Have Babies

Image
Things people need to stop saying to couples who are waiting to have kids I got married very young.  We are going on 7 years now.  We don’t have children, but we do want them someday. It amazes me the things people say to me, completely out of the blue, about how I should really have kids.  We are both currently in college, we don’t have stable jobs, we keep moving around because of school, there’s no way we could handle kids right now.  We don’t even WANT them right this second.  It’s hard not having them, because I don’t really know how to hang out with anyone.  All of my married friends have kids, so they don’t want to hang out with people without kids that often because their kids get bored.  All of my single friends want to go drink and party and hook up, and somehow being married has turned us into a “let’s stay in and watch movies” kind of couple.  I hear it’s normal.  It gets lonely, though.  Anyways, here are some things to...

TO WOMEN: Relationships, Control, Physical and Emotional Abuse

Image
SECTION ONE: WHO IS THIS  FOR? This is a blog on relationships written by a woman, for women. Now, that’s not to say men can’t read it, too. Everyone is different. Some women will read this and not understand a word, and some men could read this and get every letter of every page. However, it IS written with female readers in mind. If you are a man, and you read this and are able to put aside the “he’s” and “she’s” of it all, I raise my glass to you, sir. This is a paper on the relationship between a man and a woman. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against homosexuality. I just don’t have a whole lot of experience in such a relationship, and would not assume to know enough to write a paper on it. If you choose to read this anyways, more power to you. This is NOT written for women who want to be submissive, passive, dependent house wives forever. This paper was actually written in hopes of changing that. If you sincerely don’t ever want to change, and feel that it’s okay t...

Second Psychology Essay About Magneto

Image
This is the second of two essays I wrote about Magneto for my Personality class.  The assignment was to analyze his personality from two different psychology theories. Erik Lehnsherr, Again Erik Lehnsherr, also known as Magneto, was a complicated man. I am going to analyze him from a behaviorist standpoint and a cognitive approach. To a behaviorist like John Watson, Erik’s personality was simply a product of his environment. Watson believed that as infants, people have the ability to become anything, from a surgeon to a criminal, based entirely on how they are raised. People are changed and shaped into who they are by the world around them. Nobody is born with any sort of insight or inherited personality traits. Behaviorism focuses strictly on outward behavior, and believes that the consciousness cannot be examined in any way, and may not even exist. Behavior is simply a response to stimulus. While Erik’s environment had no impact over his physical aspects, including his mutat...

Psychology Essay About Magneto

Image
This is one of two papers I wrote about Magneto for a Personality class.  I was to choose whoever I wanted and write a paper including a biography, description of his personality, and rating him on the big five personality traits along with what in his life may have shaped him to be the way he is. Erik Lehnsherr, AKA: Magneto  Erik Lehnsherr, better known by his mutant alias of Magneto, is a fictional character from the popular X-Men series. He has been seen in comic books and cartoons, but this particular version of him is the one from the movies. In this paper, a “mutant” is a human with mutated genes, causing them to have special powers and abilities, like telekinesis or shape shifting. Born in Germany in 1930, he was only fourteen years old when his family was separated by Nazi soldiers. During this traumatic experience, he was seen by the Nazis and many others bending the metal gates of the concentration camp Auschwitz with his mind. This caught the attention of a ...
