Artifact 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose the item to archive from module 12 as my top artifact. I picked this as my top artifact because I found it fun and enjoyed evaluating aggression. For this activity, I was given a list of statements and had to decide if they indicated aggression. After I selected the actions that I felt indicated aggression, I reviewed the key to see how I viewed aggression. I learned that my view of aggression was due to intent. I did not find self-defense or duties of jobs as aggression, but I did view the idea of hurting someone else as aggression, even if it was not acted on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This activity expanded my knowledge of aggression because I had to think about the cause of the action and whether it impacted the aggressive act. It gave me a better understanding of why someone might act aggressively. As a result of this activity, I understand my view of aggression better. I chose a screenshot of the questionnaire that I filled out for my representative image. I bolded and underlined the items that I felt were aggressive. I chose this image because it gives a good representation of my view of aggression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artifact 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose the item to archive in module 10 as my top artifact. During this exercise, I broke the social norm by standing backwards on an elevator. I felt extremely uncomfortable while doing it and I could tell the other people near me were uncomfortable too. It made me think a lot about the pressure to conform. I was not doing anything “wrong”, but I felt like I was. I chose this as my top artifact because it was a powerful lesson on how strongly we are impacted by social norms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, when I am in public, I do not look over my shoulder and think about how other people view me. However, while I was in the elevator, I could not think of anything else. As mentioned in the textbook, many people view the word “conform” as a negative, but we all do it without thinking. The activity expanded my knowledge on introspection illusion, a lot of what we do during the day is influenced by conformity without us being aware. I have never thought about standing on an elevator as conforming to a social norm, but that is exactly what I have been doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As my representative visual image, I chose a cartoon photo of a red figure standing out against all the other gray figures in a line. This is a visual representative of how I felt in the elevator. I was extremely different than everyone else and it was very clear to anyone that looked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artifact 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The item to archive that I learned the most from was module 4. For the module 4 archive, we were instructed to watch the video, “Are we scaring ourselves to death?<\/em>“. The exercise was to show how the media plays a major role in the representative and availability heuristics. Knowing that I too have been affected by the media portrayal of events, it felt more personal. I found it interesting to see the great extent that media influences how people think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the video, I realized that one report from the media could make me fear something that is not a realistic risk to me. This artifact expanded my knowledge on heuristics because I could see real-world scenarios. For example, the older group of adults were led to believe crime was on the rise and their safety was at risk. They felt that way because when they watched the news, they would see horrific crimes that would stick with them. The availability heuristic makes those images the most readily available to them when they think about crime, therefore they believe that the crime rate is going through the roof. After completing the archive, I felt I had a good handle on heuristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visual image I chose was a clip from the video. It depicts how many days each item took off an average life. The higher the days, the more risk it poses to us. I am an extremely nervous flyer; I hate doing it and I convince myself the plane is going to crash. With that said, I jump in my car every day and never give it a second thought. The photo shows that, when talking about risk, driving should be a far greater concern to me than flying but the availability heuristic makes me believe that plane crashes are more common than they actually are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
