I believe that something that I learned from this assignment, it was based off of the survey that I took. I learned that my standards for a relationship a much lower than I thought from what I give to my partner. I always try to make my partner feel so much more loved than they have in any previous relationship they’ve been in.

I did learn something else about myself back in sophomore year of high school with relationships. I had a relationship with a girl for about 4 months and I was really glad that I was with her but she told me that her ex texted her and they talked and she wanted to get back with him. What I learned during that relationship is that no matter who I am with, if they find someone else they’re much happier with, then I won’t stop them. I want to make my partner as happy as possible, even if that means if they want to be with someone else.

I believe that for starters, something that everyone can learn something from this incident that happened with Michael Richards is that we need to stop commenting racial slurs or saying anything racist to people. It is so simple to learn but it is so much easier said than done because people still think that it’s okay to be racist.

I went into more detail with the assignment because I didn’t completely know what happened with Michael Richards. When my parents told me about what happened to him after Seinfeld when I was younger, I thought he just said the n-word randomly to some people. I would say that I learned a lot more about what happened with Michael Richards and how he felt before and after his racial tirade.

Something that I have learned and known as long as I can remember is to never be racist to anyone. My parents have always raised me to know that if I don’t have anything good to say to anyone, then just don’t say it.

When I first read the instructions on the second assignment, I was more than excited to get started because this was the whole point I take so many pictures and videos wherever I am. I love to capture so many moments and make them into so many memories I won’t ever forget.

What I did learn from this assignment was that I can see the kind of person that I am based off of a few pictures and going into more detail about them. I never realized that when going through some old photos, it’s so easy to see the person that you because many of the pictures resemble a small group of characteristics about you. I never thought about that until I started this assignment.

This assignment felt extremely personal to me because not only do I love to capture any moment I can with my friends and loved ones, but I am also a person that is very close with my friends and loved ones. I would do anything to make any of them smile and be happy because they mean more than anything to me.

ATA 1

Based on Assignment 1, I did learn a few things. For starters, I didn’t even know what heuristics even were but once I read more about them, I understood them pretty easily since we have all gone through all four of the heuristics in our lives at some point. However, I have had some negative experiences in the past when I read more about the Representativeness and Availability heuristics. 

The memories I had in the past just kept going when I read about these two. Like I stated about the Representativeness heuristic, a lot of people called me gay for the clothes that I wore. I didn’t want to wear the basketball shorts or sweatpants. I wanted to be myself and that’s how I’ll always be. Reading about this heuristic helped remind me that I shouldn’t be self-conscious with the things I do or wear. And I shouldn’t classify someone else as a certain group either. Never in my life have I done something that low and I won’t ever for the rest of my life.

When I read about the Availability heuristic, one memory came to me right away. Last semester, I had a suite mate that drank, smoked, and took certain types of drugs. my other suite mate told me about this a few weeks after I met him. Once I heard about him taking drugs, I had thoughts in my mind that what if he overdosed. What would I do? This completely explains the Availability heuristic because I try to think of any situation that could happen. And soon after I found out that he took certain kinds of drugs, he overdosed. Luckily I found him, but I got my RA and I called 911. People may think it’s stupid, but you never know what could happen in any kind of situation that you’re in.

This was one of the same exact hoodies I wore one day at my high school and I got extremely ridiculed for it. However, some people that I respected had my back and called them out and put them in their place. But I’m not afraid to wear some designer clothes because it’s what I enjoy wearing. It makes me feel happy and doesn’t make me look like I don’t care about my self-image.
