PERSONALITY



We can find different features of personality, dependence, anxiety, aggressiveness and sociability. Everybody has these features, but some people more or less than others. The features can be cardinal, central and secondary:
Þ Cardinal Features: are relatively rare and are frequently very general features that influence all the acts of the person.
Þ Central Features: are common and although they are often observed in the behavior.
Þ Secondary Features: are attributes that don’t constitute a vital part of the person but that intervene in certain situations.

Moreover, we can find different categories of personality like:

Þ Extroversion: Talkative, daring, active, noisy, vigorous, positive, spontaneous, effusive, energetic, enthusiastic, adventurous, communicative, frank, dominant, sociable.
Þ Affability: Nice, cooperative, unfasten, just, courteous, indulgent, affectionate, tender, kind-hearted, compassionate, considerate.
Þ Dependence: Organize, scrupulous, responsible, hard-working, efficient, deliberate, precise, practical, conscientious, serious, thrifty.
Þ Emotional stability: Impassive, never envious, dissolute, objective, calm, serene, kind-hearted, stable, satisfied, imperturbable, little exigent, constant, placid, pacific.
Þ Culture or intelligence: Smart, curious, imaginative, analytic, thoughtful, artistic, perspicacious, sagacious, ingenious, refined, sophisticated, intellectual, clever, versatile, original, profound, cultured.
In my personal opinion, I think that the heredity influence the acquisition of personality because identical twins that divide up the same genetic material, have similar characteristics in their personality like emotion, sociability and impulsiveness. Consequently, heredity has influence in the acquisition of personality.

In conclusion, each person can have different types of personality, this is how we are different from other people and because of personality we can be unique and this personality is the landlord of thought and conduct of the present life of a person and continues in his life through different situations.

MOVIES AT HOME



Watching movies is the best plan when you want to stay at home if you don’t want to go out, or when you’re sick, or when you don’t have Money. You always accompany it with popcorn, soda, candy, etc. to make movie more pleasant.

Obviously, first choose a good movie; depending on your tastes, for instance: Action, comedy, sci-fi, drama, horror, documentary, animated, musical and others, but sometimes after all a bad movie is chosen and in this case is better to choose a recommended movie.

But I feel some movies are too dangerous for children, but true stories in the movies about what happened in the real life and there’s so much violence right now and maybe this is the way that filmmakers speak about violence.

Then you choose a movie to relax, to watch the movie in a good company and enjoy it.

A clear example of a good film is the following:

Have you seen Saturday Night Fever?

Saturday Night Fever was the first film to show the world of disco dancing. The star of the film was John Travolta.

Before Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta was a TV actor, but he was really well-known. After Saturday Night Fever, he was suddenly the world’s number one sex symbol.

John Travolta’s character in Saturday Night Fever is nineteen-year old Tony Moreno. Tony lives with his family in New York . He has a boring job in a paint shop during the week, but every Saturday night he puts on a white suit and goes to Disco 2001 in Brooklyn to dance. On the dance floor he is a different person, he comes alive. He wins the competition for the best disco dancer in Brooklyn .

The songs and music for the film were all by an Australian group called the Bee Gees. Songs like Night Fever, and Stayin’alive were instant hits in discos all over the world.

For fifteen years after Saturday Night Fever John Travolta’s films were not very popular until his “Oscar-winning performance” in “pulp fiction” in the early nineties.
