adversity
... Curtis Mcmillen author of “How People Benefit From Adversity” wants us to believe that we can benefit from extreme difficult life experiences. The article itself does not tell us a whole lot about Mcmillen himself, but the article would have you believe that he has been through much adversity in his life. First let us define adversity. Adversity is a state of distress, misfortune, or hardship. One can face adversity in many different ways. Most people think of adversity as coming back in a basketball game without your number one player, or making it to work on time when your alarm clock fails to wake you out of your sleep. The article confronts many types of adversity such as health adversities, natural and technological adversities, criminal victimization, and grief combat adversities. There are many authors who support Mcmillen’s theory on adversity.
