ATA 5

The main that this assignment helped me realize was that aggression can come about in many different ways. I don’t think I fully understood why I myself tend to be aggressive in certain situations over others, but this assignment allowed me to be able to really take a look at the “why.” I think aggression is an important thing to understand, especially through self reflection. This assignment allowed me to be able to think about my own aggression and use the information I learned to be able to better deal with it.

This assignment was interesting for me to do mainly because it forced me to take a closer look at how racism comes across from different perspectives. I was able to take a look at something I had never seen before and really dissect it from a psychological point of view. As a 25 year old, I am fairly confident in my stance towards racism. This assignment allowed me to confirm my feelings and really talk about it in a way I had not done before. Racism is a huge thing in today’s society, and to be able to recognize it is very important.

This assignment allowed me to take a look back at some of the things I’ve done over the past year and reflect on the way they have depicted who I am. Not only did the assignment allow me to see where I was at the time the pictures were taken, but it also allowed to me to see the real growth that I’ve been able to experience over a pretty solid period of time. We are not always used to thinking about how others view us by the things we post on social media, but this assignment forced me to do this as well. I appreciate being able to reflect on the opinions that others likely have because it promotes growth.
