Recognizing, Analyzing, and Constructing Arguments are when we start with a position statement rather than with an open-ended question that invites exploration and analysis of an issue. To begin to analyze an argument what we need to do is identify its premises and conclusion. Identify those arguments that you find within an academic paper, and analyze those arguments.

Allport states that the newborn does not have a personality because they haven't experienced the world yet. There are eight stages of development. The first stage is called bodily sense, this is were infants become aware of their body. The second stage is self identity, this stage begins in the second year of life. This is where the child develop their self identity. They begin to recognize their self, and they know their name.
The third stage is the ego enhancement, this stage begins at the age of two and three. This is where the child works on his or her self-esteem. Then the fourth stage is called the ego extension. This stage is between the ages of three and four. They develop the possession over their personal things. The fifth stage is self image, this begins at the age of four and five. They begin to know their abilities.
The sixth stage is rational agent, the age begins at six to twelve years old. They are able to solve problems. Then the seventh stage is propriate striving, this is the adolescence age . They begin to put their life together. The individual knows what they want to do in their life. The eighth stage is the knower, this stage begins at adulthood.

After some researchers didn't have that in their research but Allport didn't leave that out in his research. German philosophers windeland and stem, allport distinguished individual traits that were called unique traits, which are possessed by only one person, from common traits. Which are possessed by many people each to a varying extent.
He intended to distinguish the study of persons on the one hand and the study of person variables that is variables with respect to which person have been differentiated from the other. So to answer the question yes, people can be described by the same trait as you can see Mr. Allport have found that many people have common traits.

Allport's theory that religion can be used to be either self-serving or to develop a genuine love for others really struck me, especially from the perspective of being self-serving. It made me think about those who use religion as an extreme - the radicalized Islamists who use religion as a basis for violence or terrorism instead of the peaceful tendencies that Islam was meant to portray.
Or cases of religious cults where leaders like David Koresh used religion as power over others for his own benefit, not for the benefit of society or as genuine love for others. It just shows that a person can use religion one way or another to either benefit others or manipulate them.

Cattel study psychosis and all the different traits for various diagnoses. Psychosis is a severe mental disorder in which emotions and thoughts are impaired and contact is lost with reality. My brother in law has this disorder and it is not good to see a love one or anyone in that matter suffer with this mental illness.
There is the emotional drain from trying to cope with it and the physical drain of handling it. This disorder has my brother in law believing that he is on a planet of his own and no one else is there to help him from the monsters that is trying to hurt him. His mind is trapped inside his own head that is keeping him from reality and he doesn't believe reality exist.
He is institutionalized and he may never get well because he is so out of touch with reality. These mental illness are real and we need the help to continue to research and find cures so pills are not always the answers.

The Neuroticism factor in the Five Factor model assesses readiness to experience negative emotions such as anxiety or depression. Other models, including Cattell's, have similar factors. High levels of neuroticism are marked by readiness to experience negative emotions; low levels describe emotional stability.
Likely, Solomayor would score in the moderate range on this factor. She had enough emotional stability to thrive despite growing up in an environment where she saw crime and broken lives in her neighborhood, and to cope with the stresses of her career, sending criminals to prison for drugs and other offenses. On the other hand, she experienced enough negative emotion to voice concern about the personal costs of her demanding career and to strive for more balance.

It seems that the big 5 of personality traits that Cattell had developed, or narrowed down, seem to be a good fit of general personality traits that most people fall into at some degree or another. I do agree that heredity has a lot to do with a persons personality traits and through experiences and the environments that people are in help to develop some other traits but also help the person adapt the traits they already have.
Cattell had three types of traits that people have, ability, temperament, and dynamic. Cloninger () stated,"Ability traits define various types of intelligence and determine how effectively a person works toward a desired goal" (p. 152). Some people have greater motivation to reach their set goals than others.
Temperament traits, which I agree is mostly inherited, is the style a person does what they do. It can be in aggressive forms or laid back. Lastly, dynamic traits where the person gets the energy and direction for their action. Again, there are many measurements to this type of trait, like the other ones.
