The question that I decided to ask was,  do the visual images contained in my ePortfolio enhance what I am trying to  communicate to my audience? I chose this because, all of assignments had a picture assigned to it. I think that it was helpful because, I was able to see that my pictures went accordingly with my writing. I also had difficulty hearing my reviewer this made it hard for me.  There was nothing that I changed , I think that my slides are okay and I have changed the things that were asked of me to in grades . 

Blog Ten:

Something, that I would change is taking the first test on time, Not taking the test can make my grade go from an A to a C. This is what I do not like. I feel that in this class that is the main thing that I learned that I needed to communicate that I was in the hospital and I could not take the test. This is what I would change. I believe that I have done a good job meeting the course objectives. My attitude towards Social Psychology, is the same. I have learned about the self, about love, and interactions with the people around you with perception. Academically, I have grown by being able to multi-task. Something that I gained from this course that I can use in my professional life, is being able to understand that everyone even ourselves have a different perception on who we are.

In this class one of the most important things that I learned was the perception of the self, in relations to the perceptions that others have about us. I did know that women are more self conscious when compared to men. Something else that I learned was what narcissism is, which is being liked at first because the person seems charming and later on, when people get to know them then they are disliked. I think that this is very true in a lot of people; because people sometimes give their best self when you first meet them and then you see their true colors. One of the last things that I want to discuss is empathetic joy, this is the feeling that we get when we help others. I chose these three because, I can relate to these three things that were discussed in this class. Sometimes, I have a negative self concept of myself, I feel like a lot of people that I have met have the characteristics of narcissism and I enjoy helping others because, of the feelings that I get after. One thing that we did that I feel was in relations to another was when we did the blog about one of our proudest moments and then we also did the love test, about ourselves and our partners (Assignment.) I feel that these two go together because, we have to be proud of ourselves, and be comfortable with ourselves in order to be able to be with someone else. Something that we learned in this class that we also learned in my cultural diversity class is that discrimination is taught down. Parents are the ones that usually teach their children racism.

Blog Eight:

Women and men constantly anger each other when they are in a relationship. Since, no relationship is perfect it is okay to accept that there are going to be differences. Men can anger woman because, they show their feelings less, women tend to be more affectionate. This can anger a woman that requires more affection. Men also, tend to be messier than woman this can anger a woman living with a man that does not like to clean up. Men also tend to anger women by being addicted to sports and video games, this might make the woman feel that they are less important than the mans hobby.

Women anger men by spending more money than they should. This can be a huge problem if the man is the main source of income. The woman may also put their friends in front of her partner or give too much time to their girl friends. Women also tend to be more argumentative with men, this can cause a huge impact on the relationship.Women tend to be more sensitive, so they can also hold a grudge longer.

I believe that self regulation is being able to control your emotions. I believe that this is being able to regulate your own emotions. This means to be able to find inner peace on ones own. I believe that emotional intelligence is being able to get out of an emotional state. Being able to overcome a strong emotion, such as disappointment. Emotional intelligence to me means being able to not show your emotions. This means not letting your emotions take over your personality. Not letting an emotion, change the person that you are because, of the heat of the moment. Emotional intelligence is not allowing someone else emotions affect your own. I display my EQ a lot. I am extremely open and direct. I do have to learn to be able to control my anger, and not let small things affect me. I can do this by being a more positive person, and look more into the positive rather than the negative.

I believe that this is right. I let my emotions control all of me most of the time.

Prior to this video there are some things that I did not think about such as that women are used more like a sexual object. I also did not think that women are taken less serious than men. I have personally not felt like this before. I believe that essentially women are softer than men, and men are stronger than women. I believe that women should be presented as strong, because women are strong like the video says women do everything men do plus take care of the kids. It is amazing that only 12% of women are actually stay at home moms. It is also disturbing to know how much women are abused in different ways physically, sexually and verbally.

In this picture, the maker is saying that it is easy to open but it is discriminatory to women because, it is saying that a women is not strong enough to open a cap.

In this add they are advertising a soap, but they have sexualized the woman in this add.

In this picture it is directed 100% to women, it says that it Is the soap that women buy, saying that women should be the ones to do laundry.

In this picture, the sexism speaks for itself. This is a republican add and the woman is catering to the man.

In this picture you see that the woman has aggravated the man and the man is yelling at her this add to me shows superiority of the man.

Blog 5:

In this advertisement it says that it is clinically proven that Pantene will give healthier hair with every wash. This makes it an advertisement with credible source. This is probably calculated by expertise.

This is a non credible advertisement because, this can just be a paid model that is asked to say this. We do not know if her hair is thicker and longer for real.

This is a attractive source because the person doing the advertisement is famous, so people are going to be more inclined to buy stuff that someone famous is advertising.

Blog 4:

This test taught me some things about being in a university. I was not able to take the test because, I was sick due to severe back pain where I had to go to my doctor twice and once to the hospital. This taught me that even though, I am sick I need to communicate with my professor about what I am going through prior to the test rather than after the test when I feel better. Unfortunately, now my grade is going to suffer but those are the consequences of not planning ahead. This test might cause a huge dent on my GPA so it is a lesson I am diffidently going to remember forever.

I chose this picture because, I felt like this girl when I was catching up on all my school work.

I completely believe that there is a relationship between music and the relationship with the friends that you have. For example most friends have the same taste in music, this is why they usually go to the same bars/ clubs etc. I believe that music is one of the main things that set people apart. Music choices also says a lot about a person, and the way that they might act. I believe that through music choice someone can really get to know the type of person that someone is. My friends and I all have the same likes in songs. My husband likes more of hispanic music while I sway more into hip hop and rap, but will listen to Spanish rap.

Blue by Beyonce- This song is about Beyonce’s daughter Blue and it reminds me of my love for my god daughter

Chicken Fried by Zac Brown- I believe this song is so beautiful because, its says there is no dollar sign on a piece of mind and it reminds me of how direct of a person I am.

No Tiene La Culpa by Romeo- This song is one of my favorites because, it talks about homosexuality and how they are humans as well and need to be accepted, one of my good friends is lesbian and sometimes she feels that she is not loved.

Walkaway Joe by Trisha Yearwood- This song reminds me of all the bad guys that I have dated in the past.

Im going to go crazy by Neisha Nashae- This song reminds me of how crazy I can get when I get angry, at my husband.

Pintame by Elvis Creeps- This song, my dad dedicated to me when I was little and it reminds me of him (My father passed when I was 5.)

I chose this picture for the song Pintame, which means paint me and my favorite lyrics of the song is paint me the face of the prettiest girl in the world.

High School Graduation

I chose this image, because this was when I graduated from high school. This was huge accomplishment for me because, I had my son in high school and I was able to finish.

The student that I am is a hard working student. I always do whatever it takes to get my assignments in, I always try my hardest when I am going to turn anything in. I am very careful that I do not miss deadlines because that is how people fail. I always feel confident in my school work. I  believe that if I put effort in school I will do good. I am very confident that I am going to do well as long as I do all the assignments that I have to the best of my abilities. One thing that would make me better is if I spent more time doing school work than the amount of time that I spend now.

The course objective outline helps us see what is expected of the course, how much all the points are worth for each assignment and when they are due. My expectations for the course is to have a responsive instructor that makes questions feel welcomed. I expect to learn more about people, and their mixture with society. I would like to gain more knowledge on interactions. The strategies that I am going to have is to complete my work on time, by completing my all my work I will pass the class, it is when a person doesn’t do the required work that they fail.

A shark in a fish tank

The reason that I chose this is personal. Every time that I go to the beach I always think that I am going to be going through a shark attack. I always think this because I was bit by a fish when I was five. Then when it is shark week on T.V. it makes me think that when I go to the beach I will be going through the same thing as people did in the movie Jaws. To me Availability heuristics is the most common to me that I use because, when I think of anything I always think of the worst outcome first.
