Hw 57 Parenting 101

I think that everyones style of parenting is based n how they were raised as a child. Woman use methods of feeding as breast feeding or a bottle. Naturally breast milk is better then bottle milk because it has ingredients that cant be replicated in powder milk. Some parents believe in hitting there children to make them obedient and others use fear to threaten.

There obviously isn't one good way of parenting because everyone is different. not all methods work on every kind of person. But I do believe that there are main ideas that can be executed differently to get the same results. I think the main ideas are when a child does something wrong you stop the problem before it escalates. Then the consequence and then reinforcement if the problem continues. How people execute this is all up to them.

I think that parenting comes more naturally to others and not some. There's people who really want children and people who cant stand kids. the people who don't want children does it come naturally to them? My friend is 26 years old and she wants to have kids one day soon and she feels that her child has been picked for her someone where looking down at her waiting for the day that she has her baby and she already feels the motherly connection so i wonder why i doesn't happen for other people.

If I was a parent I think i would be a great parent emotionally towards my child because I love children and I want to give them my love but at some points i know I'm not going to always know what t do and thats when my knowledge of "parenting" comes in.

Pt1- What is the human connection that bonds certain people and not others?

Revised Question- Does the culture of our society affect and influence our relationship foundations?

To clarify this question I would define what is the culture of our society.

When think about the culture of our society I think about what I know personally because the internet and book is going to give us a standard definition of what they think is the culture of our society. 

There are men who abuse woman, which is very common. 1.3 million woman are physically abused every year. The woman who are being abused who have children witnessing the abuse grow up. Between 3.3 and 10 million children witness domestic violence every year. These examples definitely show Society's affect on relationships. its a trend that influences more and more people to commit domestic violence.

HW 54

So I just took the personality test and my results were ENFP. I think the only usefullness of this test are that it may help us better understand who we are. To make us feel that we belong somewhere instead of being the outcast with the wierd results. I think this test is made to prevent that. To prevent being outcasted because everyone is either one or the other.

My insights about this test is that you shouldnt really rely on this to explain who we really are and our connections with others. These test imply that people who come out with the same results have similaritis and possible would be more likley to have a better human connection when in reality everyone is different. No two people are alike. Theres this saying that two people can everything in the world in common but if there isnt that connection then it means nothing and i wonder what that connection is.

HW #53

I just completed the 100 question survey and i thought it was going to be more personal. but either way I don't mind answering personal questions.

Pt2-The questions that stood out to me the most were the friend questions. I think the friend questions stood out to me the most and probably everyone else as well is because these are the people we rely on when things at home aren't great and i think everyone can say that no ones friendship group is perfect. we like to believe that our friend groups are good but there's always a problem with every group, and those are probably the ones we value the most. I think we value them the most because when we look for friends we look for people who remind us of ourselves and when these human relationships go bad we feel upset because its like we lost a part of ourselves.

Pt3- what I noticed about the survey was that there were definite spots where people lied. A question I chose in particular was "I feel socially accepted." 53.8 people said yes quite alot but what i see about all these questions and this one at most is were focusing on the majority of the numbers and not the numbers in the other categories. Even though the low numbers dont dominate the survey numbers its still someone in that category and we seam to throw those people away.

a comparison I made with "I feel socially accepted." was "You make others feel bad to make yourself feel good." 1.9% said they dont feel socially accepted and 3.8% said they make others feel bad to make themselfs feel good. i think the 1.9% of people who dont feel socially accepted make others feel bad to make themselfs feel good. which is that 3.8% i feels theres a corrilation.

Pt4-I chose the teenage sex page and the question "you use condoms or other safe-sex technology." came to a 37.3 for No and the page said 8% does use safe-sex technology so we can see the big gap in the numbers and this page also said that 50% of teens are having sex and our survey said 32.7% of people said yes to that question so the numbers are pretty much similar

Theories about Human Relatonship.

When I think about human relationships its natural for me to think about the people who I already have relationships with like my friends and family. and its natural for me not to think about the people I see in the street everyday even though it is believed that we all originate from one person. I typed in google the definition of what a "relationship" is and this was the definition it gave me "relationships-are the connections people have with other people." This definition doesnt say aything about having a connection with yourself. neither did any of the other definitions. But can we really live without connections?

Earlier in the year we had an animal unit where we discussed that animals and humans were similar. animals and humans have similar instincs and goals for life. Adults protected there young. Food, shelter and water are neciesities to live. What im trying to get at is I think human relationships arent limited to just humans. phycoligist and other educated people try to decode human relationships as if its a big mystery in the world when relationships arent just taking place with humans but with plants, animals and other living things all over the world and in the universe.

A few days ago we breifly talked about this homeless man in the street who was bleeding to death, lots of people walked by him and non of them stopped to see if he was still alive. I was really trying to think why no one wanted to help him. some of the obvious things i could think of was that he was homeless and two that he was bleeding to death. but arent those even better reasons to help this person? There were three possible reaons I came up with.

1. Fear of failure. Felling scared or nervous that you might hurt this person in the process of trying to help them or thinking that you cant do it, you cant help this person.
2. a Plan B that I thnk is built into everyone which is everyone for themselfs. Thinking this person is in this position fora reason why should u stop what your doing to help them when you dont have to.
3. Fear of standing out. even though we may not have relationships with random people that walk by us in the street we still like to appear normal. so if someone notices that lots of people are walking by but no one is doing anything it makes you hesitant of helping because you want to fit in with everyone and fitting in is a human connection that alters your decision making.

A theory I have about human relationship is that the ultimate human failure is to be alone. When you think about teenagers, adults and older people we like to think about does he/she have a boyfriend, is he/she married. and when we hear that a girl or boy has never had a boyfriend or girlfriend we think dam your a loser and its sad we think that way but thats how people get us to think. Human relationships prevent us from thinking for ourselfs.

HW #49

Our class Teacher/ savior film was about a Man named jake westwood. On the outside he looks like a normal History teacher. hes passionate about what he teaches and his students seam to take an intrest in history and become motivated to want to learn. Jake westwood secretly has a cocaine adiction and tries his best to hide it. one day his students catch him snorting the white powder and they loose respect and trust in him. His class is no longer intrested in history and becomes depressed. his coke habit becomes worse. His addiction has become out of control and one night while buying cocain he is robbed for the cocain, beaten and left in the street. His students who have just left a party near by find him lying in the street and take him home. The day day (saturday) they come to his house and tell him that he must quit or his coke addiction will come to the surface. the night before after they got him home the searched his house for all his hidden cocain and disposed of it. every morning he arives at school his students check him for coke and search his house as well for coke. after a few weeks he seams to be doing better without the cocain. Life seams to be getting brighter for Jake until he gets a phone call that his brother has died. hes crushed. he sits in his chair for a minute,he pulls out a line of cocain and takes a hit.



Analyasis:



I personally didnt contribute any Huge ideas but i was part of the film playing one of the students being inspired by the teacher.



My analyasis of the films message is that in the super teacher film we made the connection between teacher and student can go past the classroom. The tone of the story is very secretive at first because hes hiding this cocain addiction. the tone for when the students find him is of dissapointment because the teacher that inspired them wasnt this perfect person they thought he was. The tone at the end of the story is silent because hes back to his old ways so what can anyone tll him now to stop.



Our movie in comparison to the super teacher is that our teacher was portrayed to be perfect that this person had a perfect life. the teachers in the movie werent perfect because they couldnt get control of there class so he was portrayed as perfect because everyone wanted to learn from him.



I think the connection between these examples of savior teachers and our own school education is almost an influence. The super teacher movies are giving an pre determinded identity of what a teacher should be like and when we enter our own school we see that its not always like that. One gets the idea from the other so either the people who make the movies base them off of real teachers who want to be saviors or teachers try to be saviors because thats the image thats been created and they want kids to be inspired by them
