The need for self-expression can be related to the need for acceptance within society and the societal view on brands and how different brands portray income or wealth. An advantage to lifestyle brands is that consumers can express their identity in a number of ways. This is a dominating factor that would lead on to the consumer adopting a certain lifestyle. Brands allow for customers to express themselves and portray their identity and lifestyle (Keller, 2008).

A parents immature nature can lead to additional responsibilities forced onto children which can evoke issues of self-worth and a need for acceptance. The constant search for approval may cause mental health issues such as anxiety or depression and when untreated can lead to suicide in extreme situations. Laughter can evolve as a medium for self- preservation, detaching the individual from any adversity faced allowing for perceived control over uncomfortable situations.

She repeats, clearly exasperated, that she is tired of being compared to Nabokov; she is her own writer. But Meklina knows all too well what exactly she is doing when she is doing it. It is a flattering and important comparison, and she explores it, but with as much sincerity as the text allows her. What she writes about is dislocation, displacement from self, from the world around us, from the ever changing society that never really changes enough to gratify our inner need for acceptance and connection.

Passive- aggressive behavior was first defined clinically by Colonel William Menninger during World War II in the context of men's reaction to military compliance. Menninger described soldiers who were not openly defiant but expressed their civil disobedience (what he called "aggressiveness") "by passive measures, such as pouting, stubbornness, procrastination, inefficiency, and passive obstructionism" due to what Menninger saw as an "immaturity" and a reaction to "routine military stress". According to some psychoanalytic views, noncompliance is not indicative of true passive-aggressive behavior, which may instead be defined as the manifestation of emotions that have been repressed based on a self-imposed need for acceptance.

" Former television columnist for The Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall disapproved of Karev's flirt with Addison as "he should take interest in a woman's speciality and respect his boss without getting in her pants." Reviewing the fifth season, Chris Monfette of IGN wrote: "Alex, who'd become simply the cast's angry outcast, was uplifted as his relationship with Izzie became more and more substantial, and his bedside scenes with her toward the end were some of his character's best material yet." On his career path as a pediatric surgeon, Examiner wrote, "Despite his rough exterior, Alex has a certain child-like innocence and need for acceptance. He is keen in recognizing these traits in kids, as well.

She tries to help Charlie overcome his bad habits with the help of her uncle, but fails. Charlie does all he can to win her heart, but in the end he succumbs, hindered by his own weak will and his constant need for acceptance by his friends.

Brown, W. Dale. (2006). The Book of Buechner: a journey through his writings. London: Westminster John Knox Press. p. 339. an ‘encore visit to several of Buechner’s concerns – theories of God, notions of grace and forgiveness, the weightiness of guilt, and the need for acceptance’.Brown, W. Dale. (2006). The Book of Buechner: a journey through his writings. London: Westminster John Knox Press. p. 320. Buechner’s return to a first-person narrator, in the form of the Archangel Raphael, is marked by a difference in tone and perspective. Whereas doubt-filled prior narrators, in describing the lives and actions of their God-struck fellow-travellers, have given expression to the scepticism of the reader, the Archangel who ‘pass[es] in and out of the presence of the Holy One’Buechner, Frederick (1997).
