Blog 10 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I wanted this class to help improve my writing and help with my procrastination. My writing has became way better. I am comfortable with how I write. I am willing to write more. I still struggle with my procrastination. I believe that I was able to achieve many of the course objectives such as developing critical thinking skills and applying them to this course and developed a understanding of other cultures. My attitudes towards this course have changed. I’ve have became more open to learning about cultures and seeing the differences between my culture and others. I would prepare myself better if I took this class again. A skill that I will use outside of this class is my critical thinking skills. I am able to notice dfferent expressions of others and why. I am also able to communicate with people from different cultures in a positive way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose this image because these are how my grades would typically look. I would do really well on my blogs and short assignments while I would receive an average score on the writing assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top three things that I have learned is this course are individualism, gender roles, and the neo personality test. Blog 7 is very much related to ATA4. In blog 7 I expressed gender roles that were exposed in Disney movies . In blog 7, I expressed how the representation of women and males are stereotypical but there are many movies that break that stereotype. I applied this in ATA4. In ATA4, I expressed gender roles in advertisements. Culture and language can be connected to my child psychology class. In Cross-Cultural Psychology, infants produce the same range of phonemes across cultures and infants sound is shaped by interactions with others. In child psychology, language of infants is highlighted on how language develops and the meaning behind the language and sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog 8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People from different cultures tend to have different expressions than in my culture. I’ve noticed that people from different cultures may not express happiness right away. They tend to give a straight face more often than not when speaking, unlike my culture. People express themselves with smiles when communicating within my culture. This surprised me at first. It was something that I just wasn’t use to and I immediately felt like they other person didn’t like me for that reason. Cultural display rules definitely explains my experiences. Due to the fact that my culture expresses most of their expressions on the face because we learn that as children. People from other cultures may not learn the same “rules” I did, which is why they may not express things externally like me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most fairytales in Disney typically show women in set gender roles. This includes women doing household duties such as cleaning, cooking, and finding love. While they show men as the savior. They also typically involve morals. At the end of each fairytale you learn a lesson. There are many Disney films that try and break gender roles such as Mulan, brave, and even tangled. These fairytales allow people to see the change in cultural norms. I identified with Mulan the most from the movie Mulan. She was a tough women that decided to go to war to protect her father. She made me want to be strong and do tough things as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I am able to satisfy my need for autonomy by reflecting my past assignments. I analyze my mistakes and trying to do better next time. I am able to satisfy my need for relatedness by having study groups and talking with others about my classes. I love to give feedback to others as much as I like to receive it to. It makes me feel connected to people who understand me. I satisfy my needs for competence by practicing and studying until I am super sure about the information and know it like the back of my hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How
https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Form-a-Study-Group<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A study group represents my need for relatedness because it shows my connection to others and how it is beneficial for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think that I am mainly independent. Most of the items I describe explain why I am different from others and show how I am different. I focus on makes me, me. Most items that I stated don’t exhibit anything relating to appeasing others and trying to fit in a group. A few things do show that I am interdependent. I am available to do certain things that are beneficial for everyone. Which statements do you think are associated with the dimension of \u2018independent construal of self\u201d? 1,2,4,7Which statements do you think are associated with the dimension of \u2018interdependent construal of self\u201d? 3,5,6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on your answers to the aforementioned questions, do you think you are more independent or more interdependent? I am definitely more independent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

English proverbs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Closed mouths don’t get fed”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t be the odd ball out”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel as that trying to figure out an interdependence idiom was much harder than finding a independent idiom. This is because I am use to my uniqueness and hear more idioms that pertained to being different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my first exam scored a 92. This was amazing for me and made me feel very great. There were clearly some questions that I was stumped on. Being able to see past questions was extremely helpful. This helped me realized what information I should have spent extra time studying for. I could have started studying a week in advanced instead of starting to study 3 days before the test. This would have mad sure I knew all of the material better. I didn’t take any personal notes and studied harshly from the PowerPoint that I was given. Next time I can maybe create my own study guide with my own notes to get a better vision of the material and memorize it better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to go to college because I wanted to peruse a nursing career. I watched my grandmother get cancer and took on the responsibility to care for her. It made me think of others that go though the same situation as me. Caring for people unconditionally is a life value of mine. I connect this to nursing because you must care for others no matter what. My parents were unable to go to college due to the fact that simply couldn’t afford it. Yet, they both were able to work very hard and they found away to save money for me in order to attend college. My parents play a huge role in my ability to attend college. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to go or afford it on my own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This class is going to be extremely beneficial for me. It will help me become more comfortable with digital media and learn how to build digital platforms. I’m looking forwarded for this course to improve my writing and make me proud about my own writing. I plan on being successful in this course by taking great notes, stop my procrastination, and also practice writing on my own time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
