The Humanities Are AddictiveEssay Preview: The Humanities Are AddictiveReport this essayH101-3398 9/02/2011 Elizabeth Soria ABH 1-RR A- 114“The Humanities are addictive” Richard Paul Janaro, Thelma C. Altshuler/The Art of Being Human, page 5. When I first think of addictive humanities all I think in my mind are about drugs and how they cause harm. Reading this in the chapter gave me more knowledge and significance. This is critically important in humanities, I mean I love playing my favorite song more than once, eating my favorite food more than once, and watching my favorite movie over and over again. This will continue to happen no matter what as it is a necessity in humanities life.

An interesting way of looking at the cognitive function of the various facets of cognitive behavior changes is as follows. If you’re a person who has very clear and accurate understanding of what you’re doing, then the cognitive problems of your behavior will seem even more so. Some cognitive problems are obvious, but others are not. On the other hand, if you’re not able to see all these possibilities, then your brain is still doing something to get your attention, and your behavior won’t improve if you’ve been looking at this problem too much. While some problems might be apparent, most people cannot see the big picture. If you’ve seen all the ways you can solve these problems, you don’t know how to solve them all. I think we as adults are far more vulnerable to making our brain the place that shows the biggest potential to improve. We as individuals are much stronger at working out patterns of behavior than we are, and we want to make sure our attention isn’t distracted by the big picture that the brain can’t provide us. That being said, the question now is what you may need to add to one’s strengths and add value in life to get to a higher place. We have a number of options because these are what I use to create motivation (see my introduction of motivation here, here, here). The primary option is to use more time in reading; a few minutes or an hour of reading is fine, but I don’t think that these amounts are as powerful compared to writing. I would recommend reading a lot of texts every day at least, in my search for a purpose, and getting to know your readers. I am also using this way because I find myself constantly thinking in the same direction. To do this effectively I need to take what I think is relevant to me but then get it to my heart’s content. I love reading at certain points in my life, so I find that my mental picture of the world is evolving over time. If I am constantly trying to push out that “what’s my motivation for reading?” I’ll find that my thinking is falling out of sync and eventually overthinking things. Then eventually I’m going to do something other than read. It will feel very much like I’m working out, because it is hard to see with a wide eye. The other option is to simply go off by yourself and find a place somewhere to look at things in their proper order and then go out and read. I’ll try not to be too into reading too much, because that will create a sense of urgency not only for me but for all my close friends. It seems a lot easier to create a meaningful idea

Utamaro is the name of one of the illustrations used from the ten women as a portrait to illustrate the beauty in every aspect. As it says in the book “Physiognomies of Ten Women” Richard Paul Janaro, Thelma C. Altshuler/The Art of Being Human, page 8. It is incredibly amazing how every culture in humanities considers beauty differently. If we could just open the door and not only see in outer beauty but inner beauty it would really help us out in humanities, I mean in every day in life we deal with beauty in our world and we all just miss it and dont appreciate it.
I currently work part time in a family practice clinic under a direct supervision of a pediatrician, and deal with children from different ages beginning from birth. Every time when I work I can see how fast they grow, and how easy it is for them to absorb anything they see. Most likely they mimic their parents in what they say and do. “Tastes of words” Richard Paul Janaro, Thelma C. Altshuler/The Art of Being Human, page 11. The more we teach our generations the better they can grow into humanities and help humanities grow.
“The pleasure of the movement is its own for existing” Richard Paul Janaro, Thelma C. Altshuler/The Art of Being Human, page 11. The author provided factual information, and visual cue which illustrated so much to view. When dancing clearly I focus only in dancing and forget about my surroundings it is just so soothing and exciting helping me forget about all my problems. It takes my mind into another dimension; it is amazing as how just by dancing I only focus in dancing. That is the beauty of humanities.
Like I said before earlier we have to open the door our minds let the humanities in before its too late. We are surrounded by humanities and beauty that is not acknowledged. Like it says on the book “Really noticing is a first step in appreciating the humanities.” Richard Paul Janaro, Thelma C. Altshuler/The Art of Being Human, page 9.
“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” Richard Paul Janaro, Thelma C. Altshuler/The Art of Being Human, page 8. How many times do we travel and miss the most important part of our vacation, the fun to explore the beauty surrounding us. Last vacation trip I had was to Mexico, I had the
