This theory relates to the ability of human beings to survive certain amount of emotion of anxiety to be able to achieve elements of growth and development.

Lavender incense contributes to a pleasant mood -- but it lowers volunteers' mathematical abilities. A whiff of lavender and eucalyptus increases people's respiratory rate and alertness. The scent of phenethyl alcohol (a constituent of rose oil) reduces blood pressure. These findings have contributed to the explosive
Slavery and the Definition of Humanity An Object of Humanity The definition of humanity is one that can be interpreted in many different ways. People all over the world have diverse values, which is probably the main reason why world peace has never been (and most likely never will be) achieved. Perhaps humanity is as simple as the philosophy: "Do unto others as you would want done to you." This is a
