As of right now my main interest in the Psychology 1001 course is probably Personality, which we learned about in Chapter 14. In the personality category of learning, in specific, I'm intrigued by the idea of the Big Five Model. The Big Five Model consists of five basic traits that have surfaced repeatedly in factor analyses of personality measures (trait terms in dictionaries and works of literature). The Big Five is moving to me, because the lexical approach to personality used to uncover this model proposes that the most crucial features of human personality are embedded in our language. When I think about what I'm going to remember in five years from this Psychology course, I think about the Big Five Model. The reason for this being, it was not a difficult subject for me to learn. In that sense, it would not be a difficult subject for me to forget. The model also slightly interests me, which means that I don't really have to think about it too hard in order to remember it. I'm sure I will remember more than just this model when five years has come, but this is just one example. I am also sure that I am not the only student who says that the Big Five Model is one of the topics that they think they're going to remember in five years, because it was talked about a lot in class and we did in-class assignments regarding this model.
I placed this video about dealing with unemployment, because unemployment can be a serious downfall in anyone's life. It can cause depression and many other things. This video gives ways for people to keep themselves happy and useful. These are important things for people to remember.
