Summary Of Shyness Evolutionary Tactic By Susan Cain

Susan Cain, a well known and appreciated writer from America in the field of psychology, recently held a speech on one of the famous TED talks and entirely captured me by trying to give the audience an understanding of introversion.

Susan Cain’s Ted Talk The Power Of Introverts brought a new conversation to society in how introverts are treated. Five years ago (when this took place) this topic was not very well discussed, which made this piece very eye opening for some. Using Aristotle's appeals: logos and pathos, as well as a comparative argument in her ted talk, Cain persuades viewers that we as a society oppress/shame introverts, not allowing them to strive or be themselves in our now extroverted society. She advocates for a more balanced society that serves both introverts and extroverts instead of just extroverts.

Introverts and extroverts are different personality types, most people fall into one of the two categories. Typically, an introvert’s main focus is in the internal world of thoughts, while an extrovert's main focus is on the external world of people and events. Introverts tend to enjoy alone time, working on their own, and are usually quiet, and extroverts are typically social, enjoy

You can compare and contrast items you come across in life. Movies, stories, and even people can be compared. The story "The Most Dangerous Game", which is written by Richard Connell, and the movie High Noon, which is written by Carl Foreman, can be compared and contrasted in multiple ways. High Noon is a movie about a sheriff being hunted down by a murderer that he sent to jail. He was released and plans to hold up his promise of coming back to kill the sheriff.

In Susan Cain’s book Quiet, The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, she writes about extroverts and introverts and their roles in our society. She gives real world stories of how introverted and extroverted individuals become successful. In Chapter one, “How Extroversion Became the Cultural Ideal”, Cain states how being an extrovert increased throughout the 20th century. For example, extroversion started showing up in schools, such as extracurricular activities, which favor kids who are extroverts. While writing this chapter, she did well adding emotional appeal through the story stories she told. Cain also did well using logical appeal, ethical appeal, stakeholders, and her values. Susan Cain

She utilizes her time spent at Robbins’ seminar to demonstrate the shift in the Culture of Personality, and how society sees the ideal confident extrovert as a successful leader. People at the seminar were all trying to be enthusiastic and energetic to reach their ideal self, and Cain used this to support her claim. She then utilized her time at Harvard Business School to show that extroverts control social networks, and are highly favored in society, including the business world. She added Chen’s interview to give input on how an introvert feels, and how many great ideas and concepts could be left out in favor of the ideas of those who speak first and control the discussion. This contributes to her derived argument that introverts can make good leaders and be successful, much like extroverts. She uses examples of introverted CEOs such as Bill Gates to prove this point. Cain includes these experiences to illustrate her argument and develop her point of extroverts being highly regarded as successful, and introverts being deemed as

Susan Cain is the author of the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, which is book about introverted people, how they relate to the world, and the power that they have within it. Cain graduated from Harvard Law and was a corporate lawyer and a negotiations consultant, but during this time, she became interested in introversion. Her research stemmed from her inability to do public speaking and make law school “a trial.” She focused on intro- and extroversion because she believed that they provided a "language for talking about questions of identity". Cain later left her legal career to become a full-time author and looks back at that time as "as time spent in a foreign country." She currently heads Quiet Revolution, which is a company that promotes introverted enterprises in the areas of education, lifestyle, and business settings.

In the article, " Don't Call Introverted Children 'Shy', Susan Cain expresses her views on the extroverted children with advantage and introverted children disadvange in young ages. Most of us think that extroverted children are more sociable than introverted . Also, we call them " shy" because introverted children are not talkative as much we do, also they prefer to stay alone at home and immersion into the books' world. and try to develop a new idea while extroverted are going out with theirs friends. that's reason, easily we call them' shy', because introverted are opposite with extroverted.

On the other hand Rosa Parks, Bill Gates, and Albert Einstein show us that this statement goes on and is still true in the real and modern world. One example being Albert Einstein he was an introvert yet a genius, he knew a lot, but kept it all to himself for quite a long while. According to Schocker Einstein did his best work alone. Two more examples being, Bill Gates, and Rosa Parks which were also described as introverts, but they were explained in a different way. They were often described by others as shy and timid. They weren’t loud until they absolutely needed to be. For example, when Rosa Parks had to give up her bus seat in 1955 to a white male. She didn’t exactly scream and yell, but she started a boycott to show that this sort of thing was not okay. Not only these three people, there are other introverted people that are powerful and have powerful impacts on other

Introversion was defined as “withdrawn and often shy, and they tend to focus on themselves, on their own thoughts and feelings” (Jung, 1923) Therefore focusing on this personality trait can help to better understand why people tend to be reserved and withdrawn from everyday life. Carl Jung was the creator of the neopsychoanalytical approach, which focused on psychic energy. While Gordon Allport and Hans Eysenck contributor to the trait theory, focused on biology and individualized traits. Jung, Eysenck and Allport focused on extrovert vs. introvert, yet had completely different ideas of how introversion is seen in everyday life. Personally believeing this trait is one I carry, focusing on completely different approaches will bring light to many explanations of why people act the way they do, including myself. By using both case studies and personal work from the works of Jung, Eysenck, and Allport researching introversion should not be a an issue. Although there is a lot of work to do with introversion, through this research one can get a better overview.
