• Posted Still Amazed repost (was not graded the first time) to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  I understand that everybody already knows about this form of art, but i still find the complexity of the illusion astounding. I am talking about sidewalk art. This link (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/01/3d-sidwalk-art-that-will_n_478649.html#s71257&title=Rocky_Road) includes 20 separate pictures of this style of artwork. The...
• Commented on The Role of Fathers
  I find these points to be very valid, however not far outside of what logic would dictate. I feel as though gender differences are the predominant factors in this....
• Commented on Will I remember anything?
  Your point is understandable. The knowledge from this class may not be especially useful in other majors if they are completely unrelated....
• Commented on Think right and think free
  I agree this is a great point. It is probably the most useful thing to know across sciences and even through everyday life in analyzing claims....
• Commented on Bias in Today's World
  I've always thought this. It became so obvious once I was exposed to the theory....
• Commented on 5 years from now
  From my perspective I hope to be using all my knowledge from this class and future psychology classes. I would like to be in a job relating to this knowledge or utilizing it in grad school classes....
• Posted Five Years to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  This is a though assignment to grapple with. I plan to major in psychology and therefore would like a job related to my studies. I hope for all of these concepts to be pertinent, and they should be built upon...
• Commented on Attractiveness Bias
  I feel as though attractiveness is only key in the hiring for certain jobs. Jobs that have a high amount of public interaction, usually seem to seek more attractive employees. On the other hand, jobs that tend to be more...
• Commented on Anorexia
  Although I cannot relate directly to anorexia, I know people that have had/have bulimia. Being the food lover that I am, I found it hard to relate to their struggles. In time I slowly became more aware of the psychological...
• Commented on Remembering Ms. Anne
  It is very interesting when coursework begins to have connections with everyday life. It adds a whole new dimension to everything that you have learned and will learn later in the course. I have found this to be especially prevalent...
• Posted Lies to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  Lie detection has always been and probably will always be a tricky subject to master. There is very little that is black and white; it almost always falls in a grey area. As the book talks about, none of the...

• Commented on Whose memory is correct? Yours? Mine?
  In reality all memories are slightly false. This is because your brain slightly changes memories every time they are retrieved. This makes them easily susceptible to changes based on personal bias or what others tell us. This makes me question...
• Commented on Pros and Cons for being bilingual
  You made some great points, but I feel as though being bilingual has many more advantages than disadvantages. It is great to learn multiple languages at a young age. It is easy for young children to learn a young age...

• Posted Chapter 2: Research Methods to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  This chapter covered the research methods involved in psychology and other sciences. As is there is very little that is particularly interesting in this chapter this is one of the toughest to write on. Any scientific minded person has...
• Commented on <u><strong>Entry #6: Week of March 21</strong></u>
  One night i was smoking a cigarette with my good friends. We randomly met a round little brown haired kid. We talked to him for the night and nobody thought anything of it. At first we didn't like him too...
• Commented on <u><strong>Entry #5: Week of Feb 28</strong></u>
  One of my favorite sounds, that is also one not possible for me to hear, is the sizzle of bacon in the morning. This is obviously a great sound because bacon is delicious. A less obvious reason is the memories...
• Commented on <u><strong>Entry #4: Week of Feb 21</strong></u>
  I found the shot at 5:21 to be a very well composed clip. I would call this a medium long shot because there are small portions of the end beds cut off, though it could be argued as a long...
• Commented on <u><strong>Entry #3: Week of Feb 7</strong></u>
  I don’t completely agree that the camera is superior to the human eye, and neither is relevant without the human brain. The eye is even necessary to set up and view camera shots, but I won’t discuss any further objections...
• Commented on <u><strong>Entry #2: Week of Jan 31</strong></u>
  Art is undefinable. Art is everywhere. Art is the creativity in everything. Art is whatever you want it to be. Anything can be seen as art, but anyone can debate what it is. Art is indescribable....
• Commented on <u><strong>Entry #1: Week of Jan 24</strong></u>
  As I have said other times in class I am not a creative person. I never used much creativity even in childhood. I can remember one thing my friends and I used our imagination for in childhood. I had a...
• Commented on <u><strong>Assignment #1</strong></u>
  When I visited the Katherine E. Nash Gallery I felt the strongest connection to “Deep Play” by Daniel Dean and Ben Garthus. The piece that caught my eye, however, was not the video. It was the display of various balls...
