PSY 201 Week 2 Assignment

Week one, I learned about phytochemicals. They are a non nutrient substance, which means they have no nutrients in them. They are not processed or anything because they are naturally occurring in plants. They cannot be found anywhere else. Phytochemicals are not needed for short term survival, which means you don’t necessary need them. They are good though because they promote long term health. I applied this to my life by making sure I start having phytochemicals in my diet, so I can help out my long term health.

This week I have become even more comfortable working at the Capitol. I have also become busier since the staff has become more trusting of interns with daily tasks around the office. Specifically, this week I helped gather research for an individual that wanted more information about a certain topic and how certain constituents have responded to it. I can't describe the certain topic since I was told that the information could not leave the office. Anyways, I printed many sheets of papers that contained lots of information and compiled it in a stack to my sent out to the individual that wanted the information. Additionally, I also helped enter over 300 contacts into our database from neighborhood surveys done this year and last year. This was a lot of work since we had to put the answers to all the survey questions into categories that were simpler to comprehend and easier to enter into the system.

After reading through the chapter on the DMIS stages (denial, defense, minimization, acceptance, adaptation, and integration), I would say that personally, I fall under the “acceptance” stage. “This stage represents an individual’s ability to recognize and appreciate cultural difference in terms of both people’s values and their behavior” (Cushner, McClelland, Safford, Pg. 152). As it states, the individual experiencing acceptance is “beginning to demonstrate the ability to interpret phenomena within a cultural context”, I believe that this is a fitting sentence for myself. Being that I am from a rural prairie town in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma, and the only people where I lived were other Senecas like my family and friends, I did not experience a cultural shock until I was in the sixth grade and had moved to Florida. In this town in Oklahoma, it was rare to even see someone described as “white”, as racial prejudice is still rampant throughout Oklahoma against Natives and basically, everybody who isn’t. I was taught to be accepting and welcoming throughout my life, and I believe that made the transition into a new cultural system much easier.

Upon doing more research I found a website that names and explains 6 different types of motivation.

Depression is a mental health issue that is commonly caused by a upsetting event and can’t be controlled easily as it takes a while to overcome

For my first assignment, I interviewed Dawn VanderZwan, which is a fourth year criminal justice student in the UFV. Through our communication, I collected some information about her academic goals, workplace experiences and personal life.

Mr. Hancock, how has lean 6 sigma certifications helped you in current field of work? Has it helped you move up the ladder quickly?

During the reading for part 2, I found the “duh” portion interesting and useful when used carefully. Arguing that the information is not new could help discredit your opposition, however, this tactic is useless when that is your only disagreement. Expressing that the information has been discovered before, when you agree with everything else the speaker says, seems like an unnecessary comment. Does the information being discovered before influence the authors information? The “twist it” section was incredibly helpful. By taking a piece of evidence that was used in your opponent’s argument and using it to support your argument helps validate your stance. It’s like using their weight against them.

There is not a lot of information about the early Luke, some people say he was a slave, while others say he was a Greek instead of a Jew. Unfortunately, due to lack of early information we can’t be sure about that those theories. He is also said to be the brother of Titus, one of Paul’s disciples (Hindson,Towns, 2013). Luke was not only a writer, researcher, historian but also a doctor. He is said to have studied with Paul and that is how they came to know each other. Luke and Paul were just not traveling partners but also friends. Luke was with Paul until his death. He is mentioned three times in the new testament, all by Paul in his letters. Luke was the only one able to see Paul while he was in prison for health care needs. Not only did

Fear can be anything, fear of the dark, thieves, monsters, dogs, hight, being stuck in a place, snakes, deaths, anything. As long as it chases you in your deepest nightmares and make you wake up shaking and sweating terrified, but also relieved that is over. But all these fears have a reason. For example Salamanca's fear of a pregnant women, it's probably because her mother was expecting a baby but he died. The fear of elevators is because she lived in a farm and she is definitely not used to elevators. Sal is also terrified of car accident because that was the cause of her mother's death. Unlike many people Salamanca is not afraid of spiders, snakes and wasps, that is because she is a country

2.I opt for this sentence because I love the imagining Barber gives to represent a type of cultural identity we perceive to be true. Barber illustrates McWorld goes into Jihad while the people are portrayed as "locals" in a sense that is virtually completely fake, delegated, and undeserved.
