The other day I came across an old psychology textbook that depicted human personality as a small, one-level house with a basement. Its inhabitant lives on the main floor, which is clean and tidy and visible to everyone. This is the outward behavior and the life that people around us see. The roof contains social, religious, cultural, and ideological rules and guidelines the goals and ideals that we use to govern our lives. The basement hosts the instinctual impulses, the most primitive part of people’s personality inclinations that invite thoughts such as hatred and behaviors such as aggression.

It’s been reported that among some of the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, villagers fell trees by yelling. Any tree that is simply too large to be cut down with an ax is felled by yelling. Imagine, if you will, a group of villagers quietly approaching a tree at dawn. They wait for the right moment and then scream at the top of their lungs. The tree will eventually die. I first read of this unique method of logging from a brief reflection by American writer Robert Fulghum. The notion of such logging practices sounded rather unrealistic, even a bit strange. Upon further research and consideration, however, I find there might be something to it. It is not the number of times that the tree must be yelled at that intrigues me. What intrigues me is that apparently the practice works.

I’ve been having a very difficult time with my 14-year-old daughter. When I give her chores to do by a certain time so that we can have dinner together as a family, she often disregards the time line I’ve set and still expects to join the family for dinner. I’m afraid she’s not learning responsibility, which will affect her for the remainder of her life. Please help.
Thank you for your important question. What you’ve described is a very common experience shared by parents of teenagers. You do well in being concerned about this behavior since nothing will change as your daughter gets older unless you’re intentional about helping her to set healthy boundaries that will assist her in developing responsible behavior.

Big Tech is building an espionage center against the United States.
The presumptive next president of the United States is promising to overhaul America’s relationship with Cuba. “I’d try to reverse the failed Trump policies that inflicted harm on Cubans and their families,” Joe Biden told nbc in September. That means Biden wants to reinstate Obama-era policies of greater engagement with the Communist dictatorship.
