Assignment 5 Takeaway

Assignment 5 was about doing random acts of kindness for others. Does being told to do acts of kindness undercut the act? As there is now an ulterior motive to do the act of kindness. It is no longer out of being kind but because you were told to do so. Being kind and doing nice things for others can drastically help improve your own mood for the day. A simple smile or holing the door open can make a stranger feel much better during the day. People like being helped and helping in return. It is like a gift that keeps on giving.

Assignment 4 Takeaway

There are different types of love. Each form of love isn’t singular in nature, as you can have a strong physical form of love but also see friendships as the best form of love. The 6 major types of love are Eros(physical), Ludus(manipulative), Storge(friendship), Pragma(love planning), Mania(uncertainty), and Agape(all-giving). Everyone has a different way of showing love and there is no one perfect form of love. While I do not agree with Ludus, I am sure it works for others.

Assignment 3 Takeaway

Assignment 2 Takeaway

Assignment 2 was about looking at a couple of photos of myself and seeing if they show who I think I am. I came away from the assignment feeling happy knowing that I am a cheerful person. While doing this assignment I also learned how self-verification and self-promotion are used in everyday life. People only try to show the good parts of themselves to others. Even in my photos there are the ones where I posed with objects to show off the skills I have. People as a whole never want to be disliked or though of as boring.
