Healthy Self-Esteem

"Individuals with low self-esteem are prone to real-world externalizing problems such as delinquency and anti-social behaviour. Both low-self esteem and narcissism contribute independently to aggressive or violent thoughts, feelings and behaviour."

Forgiveness

"A third study, published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin found that forgiveness not only strengthens spirituality and conflict management, positive thoughts, feelings and behaviours toward the offending party (in other words, forgiveness restores the relationship back to its previous positive state), but the benefits of forgiveness spill over to the positive behaviours towards others outside of the relationship. Forgiveness is associated with more volunteerism, donating to charity and other altruistic behaviours."

Good Judgement

"When it comes to leadership and good judgment, we can look at two subsets of values: those that guide someone towards acting to pursue their own individual interest, and those that guide someone more towards pursuing collective interest. Behaviours linked to pursuing collective interest, include helpfulness, teamwork and altruism and the pursuit of justice and equality."

Education

“’For my brothers it was easy to think about the future,’ Malala tells [Husain] in Birmingham. ‘They can be anything they want. But for me it was hard and for that reason I wanted to become educated and empower myself with knowledge.’”

"’When a man is silent, it is easy for a woman to imagine the worst,’ Gray said. Silence can fuel insecurity when one is unsure of its meaning. With the acknowledgment of such coping endeavours, it’s easier to handle tension and eradicate an insecure frame of mind.”

"'After finding it hard to speak to anyone about my own assault, I found solace in the fact that so many people turned out to support this movement….I used to believe I was at fault for my own rape; that I drank too much or hung out with the wrong people. All the young people here have helped to me realize that I am a victim, and nothing I wear or say is to blame for the fact that I was raped. The only person at fault is my attacker, not myself.' Statements like these are what keep participants marching and supporting the movement. With an increasing awareness of rape culture in society, the third SlutWalk in Guelph could be the largest yet."
