 \section{Introduction}
 
-Agency and Communion are the two basic styles for describing how individuals relate to their social milieu. David Bakan, an American psychologist, identifies agency and communion as two elementary modal qualities of living forms. He writes “Agency manifests itself in the formation of separations, isolation, alienation, aloneness, the urge to master, and the repression of thought, feeling, and impulsive; communion is manifested in a sense of being at one with other organisms, a lack of separations, the lack and removal of repression, contact, openness, and union, and noncontractual cooperation.” [1](Bakan, 1966, page. 15). Thus, agency and communion both complement each other. People high in agency are focused on their individual accomplishments, whereas people high in communion are more focused on societal or a group’s accomplishments and welfare.

 For healthy personality development, conventional perspective emphasizes on agency, individuation and independence. Though some theorists does not agree to this and believes that both individuation and tendency to relate to others, advances personality development even more. While some theorists believe that as we age and become more mature our own agency and communion sides balances out and eventually we become more communal.

 \section{Method}
 \label{method}
-    Our goal was to create a method for analyze trends of agency and communion in documents. The methodology we developed was based upon the words from {cite document with words} . The vocabulary from [2] enabled us to have labels related to the theme of agency and communion in documents. We gathered all the synonyms of the words in order to create a wide search space for the themes in there broadest sense. The synonyms were collected from Thesaurus.com and with rankings on how similar the word is to the original term. Then we used a word2vec embedding pre-trained on a larger corpus to score the similarity of a word in the document to agency synonyms and communion synonyms. Our methodology relied heavily on the accuracy and distribution of the synonyms as well as the spacy embedding still having relevance to the themes of agency versus communion in our old documents.

 \section{Results}
 \label{results}
     The first graph was promising even when using an unbalanced amount of communion to agency synonyms. The words are not guaranteed to be in sentences illuminating characters attributes as either agency or communion based but instead shows word similarity to the synonyms of words labeled as traits of agency versus communion.
