My #5 ranked archive is module 8. The reason I chose this as number 5 is because although it had me engaged while completing it, it was kind of challenging to place certain stereotypes with certain races. It makes you feel as though you are saying these things out loud, kind of like an uncomfortable feeling. This assignment made me feel as though I was judging people, but gaining more insight onto what others may feel that these stereotypes happen to.

I chose this image to represent this module because it reminds me directly of the different ethnic groups and the different stereotypes they all may have.
My #4 ranked archive is module 3. I chose this as #4 because I am very interested when it comes to topics related to similarity leads to attraction. It showed me how much I believe in opposites attract as opposed to similarity leads to attraction. This is #4 with what I have learned from the course because people have different connections with one another.

I chose this to represent this module because in this module I believed opposites attract more than those who are similar.
My #3 archive is module 11. I chose this as my # 3 because I got to use people that I know and doing so made me more engaged in the assignment. It made me look at selfishness and happiness with a different insight when it came to people I know and am close to. I placed this as #3 with what I have learned in the course because a lot of what we learned has to do with people you have a close relationship with.

I chose this as my image for this item to archive because it directly represents selfishness, which is one of the topics from that archive assignment.
My #2 archive is module 10. I chose this one to be second place because I was fully engaged in this activity. It was interesting to see how people look at, and treat others who don’t follow social norms, like not wearing a mask in public. They act as if it is against the law, even though I know that wearing them is doing more good than it is harm. I chose this as #2 of what I have learned in the course because social norms are a big part of what people do, and when others don’t follow it, everyone else may act a certain way towards them and it is directly related to “social” psychology.

I chose this image to represent this archive because in this archive activity, I went out in public and didn’t wear a mask to see how people would react to me not following the social norm of wearing one, and this shows a woman wearing one following the social norm.
To save the best for last, my #1 archive is module 6. The reason I chose this as #1 is because I was able to list out my top traits that best describe my personality, and give an example of each one. This assignment allows people to think about themselves in a positive way and reflect on it by describing how this is so. Also, while examples of each trait, you get to look back on the memories in which you showed these traits. It was like a pleasant reminder of times in my life where I was my truest self. The reason that this archive is #1 for what I have learned in this course is because social psychology isn’t all about how people interact, but also about you, yourself. This archive assignment was about exactly that, no one else.

The reason I chose this image to represent my #1 archive is because this archive was all about your personality. What better way to represent it than with a bubble filled with different personality traits?
