The idea that everyone has their own preferences when it comes to attraction has always been interesting. It is even more interesting to

know that most people are heavily attracted to others physically. When completing this artifact I found that this general idea was not just true of in person sightings, but also with personal ads for relationships.
My personal ads research revealed.
Another fun fact for me was that in researching the personal ads I discovered that there were just as many women seeking men for strictly sexual relationships in comparison to men. Overall, I thought the task was fun and some of the ads were hilarious, while others were serious and to the point. I chose two visual representations because I feel that the table for module 9 artifact from the personal ads represents the physical attraction portion of the artifact. The other is strictly for the idea that personal ads can be humorous just like a cartoon. Plus it captures the physical attraction criterion perfectly, in my opinion.

Module 5 Artifact:
I think that it is very important to understand the difference in the ways in which we represent ourselves in different social environments. I thought that this artifact really gave insight into the ways that we behave within certain social environments. I felt that when it comes down to it that we appeal to the environment we’re in for specific purposes of said environment. For example, if we are seeking employment and preparing for a job interview or perhaps going on a first date. I think first impressions

can make or break date or a potential career decision. Due to this opinion I thought I would stick with the original artifact for this module. I feel that practice in this type of environment, (job interview), is an area that I could use some more practice. I think that this representation shows my true personality and how articulate I can be in writing. However, in person I tend to get tongue tied and nervous, something I need to work on.

Module 7 artifact:
I learned so much about attitudes and behaviors and how sometimes they don’t fit together. For example, there are times when people don’t like their friends new hair style, but resist telling their friend their true feelings. There are times that this frustrates us; making us susceptible to feelings of anger, sadness, and resentment because we felt the need to lie about our true feelings. I also learned a great deal with how to cope with this problem. My favorite is to practice breathing exercises. This really helps to reduce tension and even headaches caused from tension. Also exercise is a great

idea as well. The visual I chose for this artifact is one that is close to my heart because I felt that it allowed me to change my attitude and behavior over the last few weeks. It also represents how sometimes we just need to be a little more aware of our own greed. It also represents an area that I was not proud of because I felt the need to be more independent as an adult. I am happy to say that I learned my lesson. It is definitely a work in progress.

Based on the below table of frequency calculations the greatest pairing was the one with 4 which was the happy/unselfish part of the matrix. It makes sense because happy people tend to be giving in many ways and that is part of what makes a person happy, being a part of something bigger for the good of mankind, doing your part to take care of the world.
Why I chose this visual representation: This captures the essence of the idea that happy and unselfish go hand in hand. I believe that to be clear and true.
When I completed this I realized that I have a lot of acquaintances. There are only 5 real friends on this list of people I know. I have known most of these people for years but don’t get together with them much. I think that before this whole module I felt that there was something wrong with me. I would blame myself, but given that I have very little time to interact with others outside work I have been a good friend through social media even before COVID-19.
It is definitely an eye-opener when you realize that it is yourself that is your own worst enemy. Feeling excluded sometimes makes a person insecure which does not have to happen. We can always change and make our thoughts align with our values. This is a way to use our insecurities as a window for opportunity and improvement.

Why this artifact?
This particular assignment and the chapter that goes along with it made me really think about our social interactions. I have been a pessimist for quite some time now and even felt like the person that doesn’t need anyone. This module really informed me about the ways that we not only need that social interaction, but that we all feel the need to connect a little bit. I found
Why I chose this visual representation: This captures happiness in a way that makes it contagious and having a life of its own. I think happiness spreads and takes hold of people without them being aware of that hold.
that very interesting and fulfilling. I also thought that the idea of being happy extends beyond the individual and into the world itself. I believe that you get what you give. I left this module feeling better about myself knowing that I am not alone. None of us are, we just have to know that we can reach out and we don’t have to do everything alone. I thought that it was nice to hear that we don’t have to be independent all the time. We need others to help us.
