    The Great Awakening impacted the people in the 13 American colonies. Settlers were encouraged to disregard sectarian differences which brought religious, political, and cultural unity among the colonies.

Revivalism later resounded as “New Sides” and “Old Lights”. This event undermined traditional views of authority which contributed to the development of the American identity.…

    Sigmund Freud, a Jewish Austrian neurologist that developed a wonderful theory in 1915 that stated all behavior is motivated and that the primary purpose of someone’s behavior was to serve the satisfaction of needs. This serves to be true in two or more situations in the common workplace. For instance, if company morale is low, there is a very slim chance that the company as a whole will be doing well. People are driven by their need to feel satisfied and wanted at the same time. Therefore, when others exhibit behavior that is non-favorable, it is most likely due to their lack of being satisfied. Behavior can either be motivated in a positive and negative direction.…

    Research on neuroticism, a primary division of personality, is extensive: many studies have found that scores of neuroticism are relate and are predictive of life stress, emotional and psychological disorders, and substance abuse. Personality was inventoried using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) and the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI). An individual’s drug abuse was consistently evaluated in the literature by means of self-report. With a reliable and valid measurement of neuroticism it is possible to run a statistical analysis between constructs like drug abuse believed to correlate with the trait and find the results considerable. Literature has shown that personality constructs can be predictive of such disorders as substance abuse and that individuals who score high in neuroticism have high drug abuse potential. Consistent limitations included use of self-report data and young age of participants. Future research aims to correct these problems and delve deeper into the relationship between neuroticism and drug abuse.…
