YOU THE MAN- Extra Credit
At first I was not sure what to expect from the performance, I had never seen a one man show but I was happily surprised at how effective he was in trying to get a point across. Domestic violence is a very large issue not only in American but all around the world, a majority of the time it is publicized as a problem only effecting women, the victims and the mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins and grandmothers who are just as upset and emotionally involved because there loved one was being abused. the media pays little attention to the other half of the world, men. Weather or not they have been the one involved being abused, the abuser,or most importantly the ones that know a family member is in a emotionally or physically abusive relationship and can do little about it to protect them from their own choices. I respected the fact that in this play the actor decided to switch things up and represent the males point of view. He expressed the vulnerable side that we never get to see much coming from the male. It was interesting to see how they are just as affected as anyone else. Today in society the male character is not given the chance so express there softer side they are not allowed to show emotion and still be seen as the dominant one. Maybe that is why most people associate the male in an abusive relationship as the abuser.

HOMEWORK 58
I was in class for the guest speakers so i decided to sit down and talk in depth with a family friend who has 3 children what she she felt made a "Good Parent":
1. Nurture your child's self-esteem. Your words and actions as a parent affect your child's developing self-esteem more than anything else. Praising your child's accomplishments, however small, will make him or her feel proud; letting your child do things independently will make him or her feel capable and strong. By contrast, belittling comments or comparing your child unfavorably with another will make him or her feel worthless.
2. Make time for your children. With so many demands on your time, it's often difficult for parents and children to get together for a family meal, let alone spend some quality time together. Children who are not getting the attention they want from their parents often act out or misbehave because they are assured of being noticed that way. Many parents find it mutually rewarding to have pre-scheduled time with their child on a regular basis. Create a "special night" each week to be together and let him or her help decide how you will spend your time. Look for other ways to connect with your child - put a note or something special in his or her lunch box.
3. Try and be a good role model. Young children learn a great deal about how to act by watching you. The younger they are, the more cues they take from you. Before you lash out or blow your top in front of your child, think about this: is that how you want your child to behave when he or she is angry? Be constantly aware that you are being observed by your children. Model the traits you wish to cultivate in your child: respect, friendliness, honesty, kindness, tolerance. Exhibit unselfish behavior. Do things for other people without expecting a reward. Express thanks and offer compliments. Above all, treat your children the way you expect other people to treat you.
4. Make communication a priority. You can't expect children to do everything simply because you, as a parent, "say so." Children want and deserve explanations as much as adults do. Parents who reason with their children allow them to understand and learn in a nonjudgmental way. Make your expectations clear. If there is a problem, describe it to your child, express your feelings about it, and invite your child to work on a solution with you. Be sure to include consequences. Make suggestions and offer choices. Be open to your child's suggestions as well. Children who participate in decisions are more motivated to carry them out.
5. `Show that your love is unconditional. As an effective parent, you are responsible for correcting and guiding your child. But how you express your corrective guidance makes all the difference in how your child receives it. When you have to confront your child, avoid blaming, criticizing, or fault-finding, which undermine self-esteem and can lead to resentment. Instead, strive to nurture and encourage, even when you are disciplining your child. Make sure he or she knows that although you want and expect better next time, your love is there no matter what.
*** I think that there is not a "correct" way to parent you children, it comes with practice however i think that the interveiw above provides very useful advice on how to approch parenting. I think it is extremly important that the parents be felxible when it comes to deciding how they want to parent their children.

HW 56
1) Questions:
What is a healthy relationship?
How important is communication in a relationship? (pros and cons)
What is considered and unhealthy relationship?
What do you consider to be an "abusive" relationship?
Why do you think people in "abusive" relationships choose to stay in them for so long?
Healthy Relationship
Person 1:
Healthy relationships are fun and make you feel good about yourself. You can have a healthy relationship with anyone in your life, including your family, friends and dating partners. Relationships take time, energy, and care to make them healthy. The relationships that you make in your teen years will be a special part of your life and will teach you some of the most important lessons about who you are.
Person 2:
Since people are different, all relationships are different. But everyone deserves to live and love with respect – and without fear.
(Everyone connects a bad relationship with a potential abuser)
Person 3:
Just like being happy, being in a healthy relationship is what you choose to be only that it takes two to achieve it. Of course, there’s a grave need for commitment, trust, self-respect and even a little bit of individual freedom - irrefutably these qualities are all the necessities in a relationship, even more for a healthy one. Couples in a relationship are people too, and as human beings we all make mistakes. In other saying - a healthy relationship doesn’t necessarily that the relationship has to be perfect. There’s no such thing as a perfect relationship in this world, and there’s no such thing as a perfect person in this world too. If we were to group relationships in this category, I’m pretty sure there’ll be none at all. You should know more from your own instinct when it comes to healthy relationship; it’s when your head say it so and when people close to you feel it too.
COMMUNICATION:
Person 1:
Without communication, there is no relationship..plain and simple. If you can’t communicate well then your "relationship" is destined to fail. In a relationship, you should have the ability to share your thoughts and feelings and know that the other person is actually listening and paying attention to what you are saying. Without good communication, you will have MANY misunderstandings!
Person 2:
Communication is the key to success in everything when dealing with other people. Otherwise you have to rely on your psychic mind reading abilities to get things right. If you are doing something that bothers your mate, or your mate is doing something that bothers you, you have to talk about it, otherwise it will just irritate you constantly, and eventually you will grow to resent your mate. We all have things we expect out of a relationship, but they dont always match with what the other person wants. The only way for your desires and your mates desires to work together is to express them.
Person 3:
Communication involves almost every aspect of our interactions with others; for this reason, communication and relationships are inseparably connected. You can't have a relationship with someone without communicating with them.
Communication involves how we express our thoughts, ideas, and feelings to others, including what we say and how we say it. But when we communicate with others, we also communicate attitudes, values, priorities, and beliefs. No matter what we actually say to other people in words, we also send messages about what we think of them, what we think of ourselves, and whether or not we're being sincere and genuine in what we say. Our non-verbal communication -- those things we don't say with words, but with our gestures, our facial expressions, and our attitude -- speak volumes.
Commitment
Person 1
People cheat because they are unfilled in their relationships. Men will do it for less substantial reasons than women, while women will usually do it because they feel ignored by their men. Men will separate a meaningless fling from the girl they actually want to be with. With women, they usually do it for more serious reasons.
Person 2
People in America these days are becoming more impatient, and society is conditioning them to become that way. We learn that if we're not perfectly satisfied with something, we can throw it awy. We learn that everything has a fast solution. If you don't like what's on TV, you can go and choose from any of the other 230 channels that you get. If you don't like the food in the fridge, you can go get yourself a burger, fires, and a soda without getting out of your car. Everything these days is becoming convenietnt and disposable. We are subconsciously learning that it is acceptable to take something for a while, then throw it away after a few uses. We are becoming less and less responsible for our actions. If these people don't have to take responsibility for their actions, why should a girl feel guilty for cheating on you? After being with you for a while, they go out and get another guy to prove to themselves that they're still as attractive and desirable as when they met you.
Person 3:
Selfishness, People want their cake and to eat it too. Rather than being straight with you, they don't want to deal with confrontation. They tell you what you want to hear, and then go do what they desire anyway.

homework 55
Part 1:
Independent /Research Question --
What is considered a healthy vs unhealthy relationship in today's society? what is the specific criteria?
Part 2:
TO JACARA:
I think your research question had the potential to be very interesting, there is a lot you can branch out and talk about. I think without you knowing it while doing research you will include new information that you find very interesting along the way. It is very similar to mine in the sense that you want to analyze how a relationship works. By "barriers" do you mean things that are and are not acceptable by todays standards (according to society) or do you plan on focusing on specfically what a "functional" couple thinks works or does not work. Before you start you research i think you might want to just get a solid idea about what a relationship actually is do you think there is a correct definition? keep up the good work :)
TO JULIETTE:
I think there is a lot to be said for your chosen question and i think it will be even more interesting because many people have different opinions on why people cheat and wether or not it is acceptable, it is very controversial. It would be very interesting to get both women and mens opinion on the subject and compare the two, i can only imagine that you would get very different responses from the two. I think another aspect about the questions that makes this a very interesting is how relatable it is, even to people our age. It seems that temptation is everywhere even if we love the person why are they not good enough. To make this question a little more interesting to kids out age maybe look into the music that we all listen to and analyze the lyrics. why have major music stars made cheating and being unfaithful cool?
Part 3:
I have yet to get any feedback on my question therefore i am going to leave it the way it is now, but i am still very open to change. However after reading Juliette's question i was very tempted to steal hers because as i was thinking about hers i came up with some ideas that i think would make a very interesting paper.

Homework 54
Jung Test Results
My type is: ESFP - "Entertainer". Radiates attractive warmth and optimism. Smooth, witty, charming, clever. Fun to be with. Very generous. 8.5% of the total population.
This is the second time i have taken a personality test, the last time was in Mr. Tusi's class when we were working with a program with business men and women, called business leaders of tomorrow. The first test was not as specific as this one and there were not as many questions to be answered. I feel like this one was not as spot on as the first one i took, i can not see my self being an entertainer because i am too shy of a person, although i am outgoing with people i know i am extremely shy with strangers and its take a very long time for me to get comfortable with people i do not know. I am not sure how accurate the test really is cause there were a few questions that i didn't really understand and had to ask friends what certain words meant or what they questions meant. Overall i really enjoy taking surveys or questionnaires like this because it makes me evaluate how i go about living life and if it is really as meaningful as it should be. This questionnaire in specific focused on how people go about handling relationships, while i was answering most of questions i was answering for how i interact with people i am already friends not really thinking about the ones i am not as close with, i think that was a mistake and i would re-think some of my answers if i was to answer it all over again.

HOMEWORK 53
While taking this survey at first i was not really sure what to think. I just started answering the questions very quick and casually not really giving them that much thought because i saw how many questions there were and to be honest i just wanted to get it done. As i read on the questions began to hit closer to home and stared to become very personal, i began to actually consider what was being asked and apply each of the situations to my life. I was surprised by some of my own answers and it slowly made me really analyze the relationships i have with my family. I didn't realize i felt as distant as i do. It was a wake up call in a sense, i have never been very comfortable talking to my parents about anything even though i know they will be accepting and are some of the least judgemental people i know. Seems like my relationship with my parents should be picture perfect but in reality its far from it. i wonder myself what happened in life to make my parents and my relationship the way it is. I feel as though they think they are closer than we really are and that's a little scary, is it possible they have too much trust in me? I was able to take some time and actually think about my family and friends and my beliefs on the matter, which for a majority of the people is very sensitive. I feel like I answered all of the questions honestly because i knew it was anonymous and in the mean time I was able to learn more about myself. The questions that made me stop and think were the ones about my family. Overall i enjoyed taking the survey!
There were many results that caught my eye after looking over the results of the survey i found it very interesting the amount of people said they had seriously thought about suicide 17 people answered that is had once been a thought. That shocked me cause for the most part when the questions asked about their relationship with family and friends few had very negative things to say. Most people associate being happy with having the love and support of close family and good friends so why were so many people so unhappy that they had thought to take there life. humans are incredibly social creatures but how much of having friends and family keeps a person happy? Although society paints a very clear picture for the "perfect" family no one will ever have one, every family is dis functional in their own way, i find it so interesting how relationships with whole family differ. this a topic that i am excited to explore. Based on the survey most of us also seem to feel that friends play a huge role in their lives, some even think that close friends over rule family, i can see where people come from saying that, not all of us feel close enough to confide in parents or relatives but friends are somehow more trust worthy. is there a right way to handle any type of relationship????
The survey that we had taken got personal at some points but they were still questions that could be answered pretty easily. However the other surveys were more focused and specifically asked questions about a certain area, the formal surveys were about "teen health" and a topic that most people our age can somehow relate to, sex and relationships. The informal survey we had to take was easy to get through and thought provoking for the most part, the survey we had to take focused on a couple of different categories: friends, family, the world, politics and there were a few short answers,. The two surveys were from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and The national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). These are more like facts, and looked totally different than the survey we took in class. The one we took in school seemed more personal, while those surveys seemed more factual and not based as much on peoples take on the issue. This is a personal example of how researching can be really impersonal and most of the time it does not really mean the same thing as what it appears to be on paper.

Homework 52
Let me first say that i am very excited to start a new unit.. this ones actually seems to be somewhat interesting! I am hoping that i will gain some new insight on the topic, and the class discussions in class will be more like last year. So why and how do humans do what we do -- in the sense of all relationships. I think humans in general are extremely self conscious people, i think we are all out to please and make other people happy. I don't think there is any one type of way a person acts, different people bring out different personalities out. How natural is this? I almost feel as if we do not create our own character and personalities but allow everyone else to be the determining factor for why we act the way we do (or play a certain role). we are in a never ended acting class, its a little bit scary if you think about it. For example we plan what we say before we meet new people potentially we are handed an exact script, but as the relationship changes with the person you just met so does the script that we need in order to deal with the situation given. I feel very strongly that human need constant social contact no matter what we will always need people around, we like people; maybe not all the time but most of the time we don't want to be alone and crave attention wether it be positive or negative. We want people to see us for who we are so that they in turn like us and continue to want to be around us, but how to we determine "who we are?" hopefully we will explore this further.
When i think about relationships we seem to put on a face for two different social groups, one our family and how we act around them and two our friends and how we act with them. I feel friendships are based on what people have in common with eachother. When people have best friends, those are the people that you enjoy to spend time with, you go over their house, go to lunch with, share you secrets and gossip to, play favorite games or sports, the list goes on. Are friends in school different that ones outside of school? The type of friend that helps you with your hw or do projects with eachother. And the other type of friendship where you only say hi or bye to eachother. You don't really say much to eachother, or maybe once in a while say how you doing or ask you a question about something thats not thats not that important. And lastly, there is the child hood close friend. Thats the human relationship where they know everything about eachother and they tell eachother secrets. I feel it is almost inpossible to judge other peoples realationship and weather or not they are genuine and meaningful, nowadays it seems as if people and different groups of friends value there friendship.
Family is the people people that love you the most, care for you the most, protect you the most, and make sure that they are always there when you are down.Different people could agree or disagree the phrase "Family comes before everything", that is because they do or dont have a strong a bond with eachother. The family memebers are the ones who know your weaknesses and your strengths. Is this why when you always see familys come together on special holidays to celebrate? is it because they want to or they are forced to? Besides the gifts and everything, its to show their appreciation for one another and to show their love with one another and have a good time. Family is known to be top priority but what is to say that friends cant be family???

And lastly, there is the child hood close friend. Thats the human relationship where they know everything about eachother and they tell eachother secrets. I feel it is almost inpossible to judge other peoples realationship and weather or not they are genuine and meaningful, nowadays it seems as if people and different groups of friends value there friendship.
Family is the people people that love you the most, care for you the most, protect you the most, and make sure that they are always there when you are down.Different people could agree or disagree the phrase "Family comes before everything", that is because they do or dont have a strong a bond with eachother. The family memebers are the ones who know your weaknesses and your strengths. Is this why when you always see familys come together on special holidays to celebrate? is it because they want to or they are forced to? Besides the gifts and everything, its to show their appreciation for one another and to show their love with one another and have a good time. Family is known to be top priority but what is to say that friends cant be family???
