• Commented on Beauty in the Eye of...the Mirror?
  I like that in this piece you mentioned that not every culture has the same ideas of beauty. I agree that Men think looks are more important than females do. But what really was interesting was that people find loved...
• Commented on Don't Believe Everything You Hear
  I like that you picked this topic. I definitely find myself thinking of things people say as to why something happened and I wonder if that is really the reason or is there something else. Like I always think I...
• Commented on Not to be sexist but...
  I like that you brought up this topic. Gender intelligence is very interesting to me. However, I don't know if it can be so simple as to say girls are better at one thing and boys at another. I know...
• Commented on 99% of the Stress, 1% of the Semester
  I think this is a very relate-able topic. To all college students. I definitely know that when finals week rolls around I start to panic. I like that you tell us that our diet and exercise habits can affect our...
• Commented on More Is Not Always Better
  I definitely think there is a problem with the whole bystander effect. It is interesting to see how common it is. But in cases like Halimi's it ended in a tragedy that could have been prevented. No one thinks that...
• Commented on Why he don't want to shake hand with me???
  I found this blog very interesting to me. I would react the same way if someone looked disgusted after shaking my hand. Especially if we had just hit it off. OCD is a crazy concept to me. One of my...
• Commented on Before you say "I DO"
  I like that you picked this topic. I agree that this was relate-able to everyone. Everyone wants love and not everyone finds true love the first time or ever. Lots of people just go for looks or money alone. But...
• Commented on The Big Five In My Future
  I like how you incorporated your future career with psychology. I definitely agree that the big 5 will come into play when we get older. I hope that it will help us find the correct career path for us to...
• Posted 5 years from now to Psy 1001 Section 04-05 Spring 2012
  The psychology concept I think I will remember five years from now is the whole idea of environmental pressures making people do things that they know are wrong. Just watching those experiments really shook me up with the shocking...
• Commented on The Bystander Effect: Why Do We Stand By?
  I think everyone can say that they have been influenced by the bystander affect. However it is sad that it happens especially in situations where someones life could have been saved. We make our self feel better about not acting...
• Commented on My Little Cousin Colin
  This is an interesting topic, however one that I think many can relate to. I agree with you that it is hard to make an assumption that all kids learn the same way and at the same rate. I think...
• Commented on Conforming to Society
  I think this is a very interesting topic of psychology. I definitely can see that people conform to what they think society wants them to be like. But one of the topics brought up about conformity in our psychology discussion...
• Commented on "What is Beautiful is Good"
  I definitely agree with the fact that looks have a huge impact on whether or not one gets hired (I do not agree that more attractive people are better at their jobs). However, I have heard from people I know...
• Commented on The True Love Story
  I think this was a great topic/movie to pick seeing as I always have loved twilight. But I definitely agree with the whole proximity theory, I know lots of people who have tried to do the whole long distance thing,...
• Posted Expectations to Psy 1001 Section 04-05 Spring 2012
  In the movie The Note book, there is a lot of romance going on. The girl falls in love with the boy in her town right away in the movie. Which demonstrates the proximity theory. Which states that if...
• Commented on Our memories...
  False memories are a very scary thing when one thinks about it. I personally remember back and I am certain that my memories really happened. But the Paul Ingram case shows how easy our memories can be influenced. I definitely...
• Commented on Children of Soldiers
  I thought this was a good topic to discuss, it is definitely very relevant to society today. I never had thought about how a parents present or absence in a kids life can change their learning ability. However, now that...
• Commented on Cigarettes Are Guns?
  Right away I was not sure what exactly this article was going to be about but it definitely caught my eye right away. The fact that this add shows a cigarette as lethal as a gun is very clever. Once...
• Commented on Diminishing Memories
  This was a good topic to choose to talk about. Many people know someone who has Alzheimers. Many of my family members have had it. The scary thing about Alzheimers is that it is hard to know when it starts....
• Posted What are the Advertising Doing to Viewers? to Psy 1001 Section 04-05 Spring 2012
  Advertisers take advantage of viewer's emotions and vulnerability when they create advertisements. People like to believe that if they use this product that they will lose weight or be as pretty as the model in the photo. Even though...
• Commented on Is Crime Really in the Genes?
  I thought this article was very interesting to read and a good blog topic. I think the Bogles crime problem was due to both nature and nurture. For nature I think that there is a possibility that there may be...
• Commented on Disney's Incorrect Slogan
  I thought this was a real interesting topic and makes you think. I guess I agree that we never want what our actual dreams are. What we actually want is what we dream of right before we go to sleep....
• Commented on Awake in your sleep?
  I think that I have experienced lucid dreams, however I think that it would be very hard to test if you really were awake while experiencing it. Whenever I think that I was awake during a dream I feel that...
