Assignment Takeaway #5
For this assignment, I learned how emotions in Italy are, not just from a basic perspective, but it allowed me to see the historical perspective as well. This could be applied back to how we learn about emotions in every other psychology class that we take, but of course the historical perspective could fall back to a history class. This assignment was relevant to me because I learned something knew. Before this, I did not know that emotions had a historical perspective to them, so this assignment allowed me to learn about emotions in that way. With the photo I chose, it is relevant because it is about the topic I researched in assignment #5.

Assignment Takeaway #4
From this assignment, I learned that in different countries, men and women are treated much more equally in advertisements than in the United States. The idea that men and women are supposed to be equal is something that we have constantly learned throughout our history classes. This assignment was relevant to me to see the differences in ads between the two genders and how it can affect us as people. I have looked at advertisements of women before and I wonder why they have to be more degrading to us women than the men’s advertisements are. I chose the photo I did because I feel like a lot of ads containing women have the same idea to them.
Assignment Takeaway #3
With this assignment, it helped me understand how studying abroad can be a huge cultural learning experience for people. We have seen throughout this class that every place in the world has a difficult culture and a different way of doing things. I feel like this assignment was relevant to me because some day I would like to study abroad and it was beneficial to see other students experiences with it and how it was, even the challenges. The photo I chose represents some of the benefits that I see while doing a study abroad experience.
Assignment Takeaway #2
This assignment helped me see all of the different values that we have as Americans and also different values from cultures around the world. We see in history classes that each culture has different values, but doing this assignment allowed us to see specifics on that topic. It was relevant to me because I think about how we are different as cultures, but I have never really thought about the different values that other countries might consider. I chose to insert a hyperlink into the page, so that the original document could be read and see my thoughts on our culture’s values and other culture’s values.
