Reading back through my first blog that was posted in January, I think most of the expectations I had about this course were correct, that we would learn a lot about peoples\u2019 perception of one another and their relationship and social interactions. I feel like I have achieved a lot in this course as far as furthering my knowledge of social psychology, and interpersonal interactions. Going into this course I though organization and keeping up with assignments with a due date calendar would make me more successful in the course, and that ring true. Having everything written out in a calendar format has defiantly helped me stay on top of things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when life throws you curve balls you know what to expect when you are prepared. I think I have grown academically over this semester, by being able to utilize the skills that I have learned in this course in my everyday life and social interactions. One skill that I have gained that I think will be very useful is the ep assignments and how to navigate word press. I had never used word press before so of course there was a learning curve, but I feel very comfortable now and I think this will be a great skill to bring into my career and future to be able to represent myself to a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviewing my previous post throughout this semester in this course. I first of the three things most important things I learned this semester, is a better understanding of how you are perceived by others, with social ques, media presentation and social relationships. The second is how you I process information and how I organize and learn through the general self-efficacy scale after tallying my scores I got a 30 on the quiz and since the highest score you can get is a 40. That would mean that I have a good amount of self-efficacy. I think it is so important to be self-efficient and stay on top of things in all aspects of life. I am defiantly a planner, so I really enjoyed that assignment.  The third things I really took interest in this semester in the lesson plan was how music is related to memory after the blog we did a couple weeks ago. I look more into music theory, and I think I may take a class about it because it\u2019s so interesting how all our senses work together to make memories. I have really enjoyed social psychology and I also thinks it has tied into a lot of the other classes I have taken. Last semester I took Women psychology which ties into another assignment we did about how women are represented in the media and secularized as a whole. That is why I love psychology because everything is an olive branch melting together to make the tree of understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading the article Sexual Conflict: Uncovering the mysteries of the mating battleground, one quote used really stood out to me and it was \u201cWomen pair wisely, and men pair widely\u201d. Of course, that is not always the case, but statistically with 71 percent of men saying that have deceived a woman with emotions or fake feeling to have sexual contact with her. Because of this it assumed that men choose mates a bit more recklessly than females do. I would say that men upset women the most by infidelity of course not only men cheat but statistically from the institute for family studies men report cheating 20 percent of the time and women report cheating 13 percent of the time.  And, in my opinion women anger men most by withholding sexual relations. Women are constantly looked at has objects and sexualized in everyday life. So, it is not surprised that women are propositioned for sex much more than men are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-awareness is the first step to emotional intelligence. So self-regulation is so important to your mental health. Letting yourself be aware of your feelings and thinking those thoughts more productively and taking that separately from your emotions is an important step for self-management. Emotional intelligence to me means when someone can think of others point of views in a non-threating way.  Taking criticism with stride, in a positive way as well as giving constructive criticism in a positive outlook. I think a great example for emotion intelligence is taking that criticism and using it to better understand yourself and what moves you should make to grow as a person. I think everyone can improve with their emotional intelligence because we all grow and learn through different stages of our life and need different levels of emotional intelligence to deal with those stages and grow to become better partners, friends, and people in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In media I think women have always been discriminated and misrepresented. Advertising puts such a pressure on women to be perfect to have a body with no fat, to have flawless skin. All these things really affecting women self-confidence and the way they preserve their bodies. Focusing only on a women body as more of an object then an actual person with thoughts and feelings. The beauty standard into society is unattainable because they are not real, they are all photoshopped so extremely they most could not even be atomically possible. Unfortunately, women live in a world where there is always a threat because women are looked at as an object, and typically seeing women in that light and dehumanizing them is the first step toward abuse and mistreatment. Men leave in a much different world yes of course men are also sexualized but not in the same way women are. Women can only be sexualized in media if they are young and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
