Deck 11: Psychological Aspects of Young and Middle Adulthood

Question 1

Our dream of our future often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. What is your dream of your future?

Answer 1

Self-fulfilling prophecy is all about aiming to achieve the ambitions that are dreamt by an individual for himself and struggles and strives to achieve them in future course of time. It is sometimes become true that our dream of our future often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and an individual goes with the wind to fulfill his dreams at any cost.
Thus my dream of future is to become Head of the Department of my subject of mastery in one of the reputed institutions. I am struggling hard and working day and night to achieve my dreams. I have to start from scratch that is I have to become first an assistant professor, associate professor and then professor. And with time and experience in hand, that day will come when I will achieve my dream and will become HOD in future.

Question 2

Do you sometimes discriminate against people who are less attractive? For example, do you seek to date only people who are physically attractive?

Answer 2

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. This saying completely goes with my belief of having people around me who are not necessarily good looking but have to be good natured individuals. I never discriminate against people who are less attractive because for me good nature and attitude is more important rather having good and attractive looks and a shrewd nature.
Thus in my life I have never given priority to looks but yes, hygiene is one factor with which I cannot compromise. And for dating someone, I look for great nature and personality, intelligent and emotional quotient alongwith good hygiene and cleanliness. I never go only for good and enchanting looks sidelining other factors as mentioned above.

Question 3

Is it unethical to seek to control others by nagging, preaching to, or punishing them? Do parents sometimes need to nag, preach to, and punish their children?

Answer 3

Nagging, preaching and punishing are all parts of life and somewhere with someone we have to indulge in activities like to nag, to preach and to punish. In other words, the people to whom we love and care, there are times when for their betterment we have to nag them, punishing them and preach them. So I do not think that it is unethical to seek control others by nagging, preaching to, or punishing them unless these people are close and really takes this sportingly.
Thus parents definitely sometimes need to nag, preach to, and punish their children for their betterment. It is always necessary for parents to be there with the children with their every good and bad behavior. So that when required they can nag them, preach them or even punish them to realize about their good and bad things.

Question 4

Is it unethical to drink excessively and to abuse other drugs?

Question 5

Do you know someone who is abusing one or more drugs? If yes, what might you do or say to help this person?
