Summary:

Every year every sixteen year old goes through a test to see which faction they belong in but the main character Beatrice didn’t get a specific faction instead they are labeled a Divergent, someone who fits into multiple factions, and are told that being Divergent is bad and to never tell anyone. they then go to an event called the choosing ceremony where they get to choose which faction they want to go to by cutting themselves and spilling

    The importance of being Divergent is first introduced to Beatrice after she completes her Aptitude Test (which determines which faction a person should choose). Tori (the test manager) reports to her: “’My conclusion,’ she explains, ‘is that you display equal aptitude for Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite. People who get this result are…’ She looks over her shoulder like she expects someone to appear behind her. ‘… are called … Divergent.’ She says the last word so quietly that I almost don’t hear it, and her tense, worried look returns. She walks around the side of the chair and leans in close to me. ‘Beatrice,’ she says, ‘under no circumstances should you share that information with anyone. This is very important.’” The manner in which Tori says that Tris is a Divergent means that it is an extremely rare condition that changes the way people look at them, and this is meant that Tris would have to create her identity alone. Likewise, as Tris possessed from both the Abnegation and the Dauntless (selflessness and bravery respectively), it was easier for her to create an identity accustomed towards the Dauntless; as explained by Four. After he and Tris exit the fear simulation room, he says: “’I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren’t all that different. All your life you’ve been training to forget yourself, so when you’re in danger, it becomes your…

    In Veronica Roth’s Divergent, Tris has to make the most important decision of her life by choosing a new faction. Tris was born into a selfless faction, but she has a difficult time playing by their rules. On the other hand, she fits right into her new faction, and she enjoys the freedom that her old faction was not able to provide. Therefore, even though Tris hesitates about being in Dauntless, her lack of Abnegation qualities proves otherwise. This can be seen by looking at her lack of selflessness and her abundance of bravery.…

    The government in Equality’s world is very controlling but also fragile. When Equality brings his invention to the house of the scholars, they reel back in fear but then also anger. This is because they can demand a lot of anything but if something happens and someone discovers a secret, the government can be overthrown with a lot of support. This type of discovery is what they fear most. The government is so afraid of any variation that they choose who goes together for unmentionable purposes. This just shows that any slight difference in the system can bring the entirety of Equality’s government. The government in Divergent is not as controlling as the one Equality has come to know and to grow up with. This is because they only suggest what faction one should go into but the individual ultimately has the choice to go into whatever faction they please. This shows it's weakness of letting individuality exist when they want everyone the same or really close to the same. They let people mingle and interact with one another some of the time though not outside of the faction. This is how they are giving people freedom and personalities rather than nothing at…

    In 1965, soon after leaving Princeton University, Bruce Tuckman developed a theory of group development that has gained a great deal of popularity. The theory contained four distinct stages and he suggested that for a group to achieve maximum effectiveness, it needed to move through all four stages (Chimaera Consulting Limited, 1999, para. 2). I found it not only to be a useful model for understanding how my work team is evolving but also for understanding what needs to happen for the most effective team results.…

    Erik Erickson developed eight stages of how a child develops from a child to an adult. Throughout each step we will see the struggles and accomplishments we went through. However I am not sure what really happened throughout the ages of a newborn to five years old, but I do remember my mother telling me I loved music because I would just laugh and kick my feet when a song began to play. At this age I had a lot of trust in my mother because she was the source to keeping me nourished. Also around the age of two to three I was supposed to be potty trained, my mother had a hard time to get me to go to the bathroom in the toilet instead of my diaper. I was around 4 years old when my mother decided to put my sister and me in cheerleading,…
