Differences Between Creator And Victim Behaviors
Creator and Victim Behaviors
Creator and victim behaviors can vary from person to person. A person who demonstrates a typical creator behavior knows when he/she is wrong and will admit to it. He/she will also try his/her best to fix the problem or situation that he/she created. A person who demonstrates a typical victim behavior will blame another person for his/her troubles and problems. He/she will also make other people fix it without admitting that he/she was in the wrong. Although these are the typical creator and victim behaviors a person can demonstrate both.
Having a creator behavior means being grown up enough to admit when you’ve done wrong. It takes a strong person. My mother has overcome a lot growing up and she demonstrates creator behavior all the time. When we kids would get in trouble at school, she wouldn’t blame the teacher and say the teacher was in the wrong. She would tell us that we were wrong and she would blame herself for letting us get out of hand. Every time she makes a mistake she owns up to it so she can learn from it.

Every time my boyfriend makes a mistake, his grandfather tells him it isn’t his fault it’s my fault, or his coach’s fault, or his best friend’s fault. According to his grandfather, Kenneth has never made a mistake in his life. He is perfect. He teaches him that it is always someone else’s fault and he isn’t to blame. This has put Kenneth in a lot of dilemmas with school and basketball. When Kenneth disrespects his coach his grandfather tells him it’s the coach’s fault he didn’t get playing time.

    He attended a predominantly all white school with Irish children from his neighborhood. Jewish children from the West Side, and a small number of African-American children also attended his school. Kenneth first discovered the tensions between the races when an African-American student teacher, Hubert Delany, came to teach in school. It was then when Kenneth began to realize how racial awareness was in his own life. “Delany was apparently at City College, and had come down to do his practice teaching at P.S. 5, and I remember one of my classmates telling me that there was a colored teacher, and I went to the door to look at him. I was so proud… I remember the joy, the pride, the thrill I had, and I think I went home and told my mother that I saw a colored teacher” (Markowitz and Rosner 1996). As Kenneth attended a public junior high school, he was pressured by his teachers to learn a trade. During this time, African-American children were advised to learn a trade because of the barriers they faced in the workforce. Kenneth’s mother refused to let her son become a product of vocational training. Things worked out for Kenneth since he had an interest in reading about ideas than going to school for a trade job. “He spent countless hours at the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library. He came under the tutelage of Arthur Schomburg, whose extensive collection of books and documents of the 20th century Harlem bear…

    Why is it that we as human beings feel the need to blame someone for every negative situation, which occurs? If we really look at the situation with any great depth, we may discover that an almost endless amount of things may be 'blamed' for the tragedy. Blaming an individual is pointless - only fate can really be blamed.…

    As a child our first hero is typically either our mother or father. We do everything we can to make them proud and grow up to be just like them. We tend to mimic their actions because we think it will make us more similar to them. In some situations we might find ourselves lying for our parents to cover up things that they do to avoid them getting into any trouble. As we grow older we tend to realize that we are not the same as mom and dad; we are our own person. However, it is thanks to our parents that we begin to find ourselves because we either follow their steps or learn from their mistakes. This situation sounds familiar to many and it is the same situation that is portrayed in many stories. [Universal Idea]…

    Since the beginning of the Neolithic Revolution violence has been used as a means to obtain land and resources; as well as to exert dominance and control over others. Some would say that violence is a part of human nature, that it’s imbedded in our DNA; while others would say that human beings aren’t inherently violent; that our environment and our culture shapes us into who we become as adults. That debate poses this question: When a crime is committed who bares the responsibility? Is it the perpetrators who committed the offense or the environment that shaped them into being? While Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson were physically responsible for the death of Matthew Shepard, the town of Laramie, and the U.S. by extension, was also to blame because of the subtle heteronormativity ingrained in American culture.…

    A victim blames everything and everyone but themselves for their own incompetence. They try to do “good enough” to get what satisfies them or someone else and do not try to think of alternate ways of solving problems that prevent them from doing what they need to do. A creator knows when they are in the wrong and will openly admit to it like a mature person would. They have no problem having to think of alternate ways of solving any problem thrown at them, and generally shoot for better than “good enough.” Both creator and victim mindsets have their benefits and their downsides, although the creator mindset’s benefits far outweigh the victim mindset as a whole.…

    One of many important roles that my mom plays in my life is that of a teacher and counselor. She has taught, and still teaches, about life and anything right and wrong in the world. An example would be that no matter how complicated something can get, never give up and walk away after the first try. Dale Carnegie, a famous writer and lecturer, once said; “Most of the things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” (Walter 1) Another would be just because you see someone do something that seems bad, but does not get in trouble, do not…
