How Do People Perceive Value Of Objects?

The learning theory of attachment focuses of two concepts; operant and classical conditioning. Classical conditioning as an explanation for attachment describes the baby receiving food (and unconditioned stimulus) and producing an unconditioned response (happiness) and the mother feeding the baby will be the neutral stimulus. The baby will then experience the mother giving them food (and therefore happiness) a number of times and then learn to associate the mother (now a conditioned stimulus) with the feeling of happiness (a conditioned response) and thus an attachment will form. Operant conditioning describes attachment as a reinforced response. When a

There is not only psychological evidence of the importance of the attachment relationship, but also neurobiological evidence. Many important brain structures, including the amygdala, septal nuclei and hippocampus “require considerable social, emotional,

Monetary value is mainly determined on things that are worth money. People believe that having a lot of money and other items that cost them a lot of money will put them on a more richer scale. They may also believe that items that are worth a lot are more valuable to them and that some other people think that a memory of a special person isn’t worth a lot especially when you lost them. An example of monetary value is in a photo essay named, “Fit for a King: Treasures of Tutankhamun”, this essay is about what King Tutankhamun and what he wanted to be buried with what he thought was valuable to him and what he would need in his afterlife. In the photo essay it says he was buried with objects such as the Cobra Uraeus Diadem which is a crown, Alabaster Funerary Barge and that is a vessel to hold perfume, four golden fans, and a Canopic Chest which was used to hold the internal organs of the

Whether a present is bought at a store or crafted by hand, there is still a great deal of valuable thought and meaning behind it. Unfortunately, nowadays most people believe that a price tag is what dictates an object's worth. However, value is determined by at least one person's perception of worth because relationships are valuable, history increases value, and the public's desires decrease value.

People hold on to pieces of jewelry, furniture, and other symbolic collectables that is passed through generations. These things can remind a person of a loved one that is seen as being priceless.

What is an asset? Merriam-Webster dictionary defines an asset as, “A valuable person or thing.” This cultivates a new question, what makes a person valuable? What I find valuable, another person may find useless. In the aspect of a classroom, I value someone who is diverse and open-minded. As well as a person who speaks their mind and participates in group conversations. These were the qualities I looked for when given the assignment to interview a classmate and find how they are an asset to the class. When given the name of my interviewee, I was unsure who exactly it was. I met a short girl with brown eyes. At first thought, I was worried. What if I could not get any information that would aid my essay. Thankfully, this was not the case. When interviewing Noam, her diversity and opened mindedness stood out. She showed the willingness and determination to understand topics, as well as her caring personality. All the qualities Noam possessed, amazed me and made me feel she is of value to the class.

• The emotional things such as caring, commitment and concern occur often at the unconscious level and as a result are not always as visible.

As humans, building relationships between others is a form of connecting and communicating. It is a social situation that is experienced every day through the course of a lifetime. The initial relationship that is made is between the mother and the child. This bond that connects two people is known to be called attachment. The theory of attachment begins at birth, and from that, continuing on to other relationships in family, friends, and romance. Attachment is taught through social experiences, however the relationship with the mother and her temperament are the key factors in shaping the infants attachment type, which

Attachments are formed in the very earliest months and years of life. These have a significant influence on emotional development as well as providing a template for the child as he or she grows into adulthood.

There are two approaches to attachment; evolutionary theory and behavioural theory, and for the purposes of this essay I will focus largely on the evolutionary school of thought.

Mankind has a natural urge for attachment. Every living person needs someone to be with, someone to confide in, someone to love. Attachment is a basic human necessity that people will fulfill with the companionship of another person, or a non – living object. But sometimes, humans attach onto other people or objects too hastily. After being with the person or object for a very short amount of time, humans feel they are connected to that person or object at a greater extent than they truly are. Sherry Turkle writes in her book Alone Together, how children get attached to toys very easily, and feel the difficulties of separation from these toys, even if they are not living creatures. Meanwhile, Barbara Fredrickson attempts to define love in her novel Love 2.0: How our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do, and Become by attempting to look at the science behind attachment and the reasons humans get attached to people and objects as quickly as they do. Attachment is something humans have no control over. Humans have no agency in the attachments they make because attachment changes how the body works by changing the body’s chemical makeup. Furthermore, humans never know when they are going to get attached to a person or object and find it difficult to let go of their attachments.

In this summative essay I would like to explore and analyse the influence that Graphic design has had on popular culture and consumerism. Graphic design can be defined as “the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. The form of the communication can be physical or virtual, and may include images, words, or graphic forms.” (aiga.org) Designers are problem solvers and it is their job to come up with a suitable solution to a problem. They have to find the best suitable means to communicate a particular message. Graphic Designers are at the forefront of advertising and the battle of selling giving the designer even greater responsibility, because of this graphic designers play a big role in consumerism. Consumerism, “as a social and economic order and ideology encourages the acquisition of goods and services in ever-greater amounts.” (wikipedia.org) Society have been gradually made to believe that they can increase their happiness through buying and spending. Consumerism is an international problem, but has existed for many years, people purchasing goods that exceeded those of their basic needs dates way back to the first civilisations, in the eras of ancient Egypt and Rome. A turn in consumerism arrived just before the industrial revolution, people worked long hours and earned low wages, so they didn 't have the time or the disposable income for excess spending. The industrial revolution welcomed the use of assembly

Researchers have been looking at theories to show how important relationships are in people’s lives and attachment theory has allowed them to understand human behavior in a variety of ways. Feelings, such as anger and romantic love, can be directly correlated to the attachments received as a child.
