Artifact 5
Module 10 was my least favorite out of all of the items. It was very strange to go against the social norm and people look at you strangely if you do so. I learned people will view you differently from everyone else based on what they see. Putting my bandana on and walking around, I got many weird looks. I believe to stay in the social norm but out of social influence.

The fourth out of my top five favorite items would be what statements indicated aggression. Aggression is not only fighting and screaming as it can be found in many other forms. I learned that aggression has intentionality behind it with or without physical abuse. Aggression can be towards living and nonliving objects. Words that indicate aggression to me include attacks, viciousness and harmful.

The third favorite item was four cells with happy/unhappy and selfish/unselfish. This item made me think heavily on the people I know and care about and point out their characteristics, good and bad. I learned that people who are unhappy tend to be more selfish than those who are. People have different ways of crying out for help and will show strange actions when it comes to action. Happiness comes with unselfish ways of kindness and caring for others with no thought of yourself or something in return.

The second item on my favorites is how to operationalize dissonance. Today’s generation has a very bad nicotine/tobacco addiction that was once at an all-time low until the Juul was created. Many people go against their beliefs whether they notice it or not. Many say no to cancer but still smoke cigarettes. Vaping is very addictive and as of today, you can get compensation from it if health problems occur. I learned social influence is a major factor in mental conflict.

I enjoyed the news analysts that overemphasize drastic events to create a different look at people from foreign countries the most. I like this item the most because it describes many scenarios that are brought to the public eye that aren’t 100% true. This strategy tends to frighten people and cause disruption almost immediately depending on the event. I learned the media can control the energy of people and almost. For example, the coronavirus has reports of the news that are drastically lower than the reports that are on other acceptable platforms.
