@JJBUSATHEFIRST@socraticpsych7@AlvaRachel64 Again, you lot are misunderstanding. He said he should not have been killed. Rachel APOLOGIESED for his words. Telling the reader she cared little for kirks life
When the great Tao is forgotten, goodness and piety appear. When the body’s intelligence declines, cleverness and knowledge step forth. When there is no peace in the family, filial piety begins. When the country falls into chaos, patriotism is born.
Christianity is a lived faith centred on the conviction that human flourishing is shaped by a relationship with God revealed in Jesus Christ. At its heart are two interlocking claims: that God is both just and loving, and that human beings are called to respond to that reality through repentance, trust, and embodied love. These claims orient moral attention away from mere self‑interest and toward a life ordered by gratitude, service, and the pursuit of holiness.
@jrocinha99@BasedMikeLee As I mentioned earlier, I really need to catch up on local and current events from the last 200 years, as well as history. I have a good understanding of Irish history, but my knowledge of American history needs some refreshing.
Hey there! Before you compare yourself to apes, take a moment to reflect on your incredible and vibrant culture and history. It’s important to recognize the richness of your heritage, even though it has faced significant challenges such as slavery and prejudice. Your background is filled with stories of resilience and beauty that deserve to be celebrated and appreciated.
@jrocinha99@BasedMikeLee I may have forgotten to mention that I hold dual citizenship and own property in Long Beach. Therefore, knowledge of policy is important to me and my family.
In our information-saturated culture, we often put our minds on "automatic pilot" to shield ourselves from the overwhelming number of media messages we continuously encounter. However, this automatic processing can be dangerous because it enables the mass media to shape our thought processes without our conscious awareness.
Communication studies and social psychology suggest that adjusting one’s identity is an ongoing micro-calibration. People subtly reshape their behavior, language, and presence to fit the demands of different situations.
This adjustment is rarely a conscious process. It occurs through small communicative changes, such as:
- Softening your tone
- Tightening your posture
- Choosing safer words
- Hiding certain emotions
- Amplifying others
- Modifying vocabulary to match the audience
- Projecting confidence or humility based on the power dynamics at play
These adjustments are not about being “fake”; rather, they are a means of navigating the social framework established by communication.
People adjust their identities because they seek:
- Acceptance
- Safety
- Credibility
- Belonging
- To avoid conflict
- To fulfill the roles that the situation has pre-scripted
Identity becomes a responsive act, shaped moment by moment by the communicative pressures surrounding us. It’s not just about asking, “Who am I?”; it’s also about considering, “Who do I need to be here, with these people, in this context?”
@2feel2write@recovery_your@ninjanordbo II appreciate this response. As a Buddhist, I approach things differently by meditating. Additionally, I connect with a therapist to communicate effectively. My wife is a believer and has helped me through my trauma as well.
