Throughout this course, the e-portfolio has helped me retain information effectively. The top three things I have learned so far in this class were the heuristics, how we interact with others romantically, and emotional intelligence. Each of these have constant been resurfacing within my other courses. For relating one of my blog posts to an assignment takeaway, I felt like the music blog post can be compared to the styles of love, since what we listen to often reflects our morals and values. Finally, one concept that I have learned in another class is being able to recall specific events primarily based on your mood. We discussed this earlier in the year in my Human Cognition class.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout relationships, arguments seem to always ensue and overall be unavoidable. There are many sexual conflicts that can be found throughout the three stages of the mating process. Fibbing, jealousy, and stalking are examples of these kinds of aggressions. There are different ways that men and women are portrayed, however, when it comes to the term of aggression. When a man is irritated by a woman, its typically derived from jealousy and ends with a more aggressive circumstance. In contrast, when a woman is irritated by a man, its could be from lack of attention and isn\u2019t instigated as aggressive. Although it isn\u2019t true for all heterosexual relationships, man tend to behave in a more violent tone while women are portrayed as trying to reason within a conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I have provided the results of my EQ quiz. I took this at https:\/\/globalleadershipfoundation.com\/geit\/eitest.html<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For this week\u2019s blog post, I was instructed to take an EQ quiz. An EQ quiz is an emotional intelligence quiz to distinguish how you manage your emotions both internally and externally. In the quiz I took, the results were divided into four quadrants; self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Each these scores were scored out of ten, ten being the highest possible score. My lowest score was a 5 at self-awareness. This may have been because I do not have high standards on myself and often rely on other opinions to drive me to my goals. My next score was a 6 at self-management. A low score for this category may be because, as I explained with self-awareness, I rely on others to make decisions for me. I also have trouble keeping my emotions in check, especially when I\u2019m uncomfortable or stressed. My next scores were both at an 8, and they were in social-awareness and relationship management. I constantly read social cues, whether it be causally or in a work environment, and try to compromise whenever I can. I personally believe that is  better for everyone to be a little bit happy than one person being comfortable with an idea while another person is not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously from my results, my emotional intelligence is reliant on other people, rather than on myself. One way I can fix this is taking into consideration some of the concepts described in this video assigned to this week with self-regulation, which will ultimately help with my EQ. An example of this may be taking a negative thought and putting it into perspective from the outside. This may lead you to wondering and evaluating whether this thought it worthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog 6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Ted Talk, The Dangerous Ways Ads See Women<\/em>, presented by Jean Kilbourne, I honestly wasn\u2019t surprised about these advertisements. Women are consistently stereotyped and dehumanized into an unrealistic form of \u2018beauty\u2019. Photoshop provides a nonexistent expectation towards women\u2019s beauty standards, stressing that you are only beautiful if your thin, white, and young. Not only are unrealistic beauty standards swarming women, but women are wrongfully sexualized as a way to sell a product. Women are infantized while children are expected to dress and behave older for what seems like for male gratification. Although men are sexualized through advertisements, often it doesn\u2019t have self-degrading feelings associated with it. Often, men specifically in magazines are seen as natural, while women are altered to have a cartoon-like appearance. The ads below represent different ways women are portrayed in advertisements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advertisement provides a negative connotation for being  a normal weight or overweight, and implies that if you aren\u2019t skinny you wont be liked or in this scenario, get married. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advertisement provides a sexaual connotation towards women as a way to sell the desired product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This magazine cover provides a photoshopped and unrealistic expectations towards women. The proportions shown in this photograph can cause low self esteem in women since this is what the media perceives as beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advertisement attempts to assinuate that women breasts may never be perfect and saying that if your breasts are any of the following characteristics, they are imperfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the last advertisement shows a scenario of whitewashing. Although the makeup company attempts to include different skin tones in their makeup, the women in the advertisement all have white features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture A represents a credible source because the information is from a primary source and approved by a government website. The CDC is a highly reliable website, and the information that is provided come from facts rather than opinion. In this particular advertisement, a woman gives a \u2018tip from a smoker\u2019 as a way to try and encourage people to either not smoke or to quit smoking. The photograph gives a visual on the detrimental health complications that may come from smoking.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture B represents a non-credible source because it gives a false hope for the product. In this advertisement, a makeup company called Maybelline claims that their \u2018Anti-Age\u2019 makeup product will instantly make you look younger. It claims to cover dark circles, crow\u2019s feet, and fine lines, but in reality, it acts the same way any other makeup product would. The makeup industry constantly gives false hopes to their audience and portray a flawless picture with filters and editing. This advertisement, therefore, isn\u2019t credible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
