The Impressions

A wise man once told me, "first impressions are everything." If you think about it, it appears to be true. You only get one chance to make a first impression, there are no do-overs. Generally, a first impression lets others get a feel of how that person is going to act. Imagine meeting a co-worker with poor grammar for the first time. It would most likely lead you to assume that they have a very mediocre education level. As you see, grammar is a key factor in the workplace. Some reasons to why it

First impressions last a lifetime. When making a first impression an attractive smile conveys openness and confidence and inspires trust. When looking at a commercial and seeing someone with a bright beautiful smile, one is more likely to purchase the product he or she is selling or be more interested in what is being said. One's teeth are the center of the face and for the most part are the first thing that people see when they look at a person. In fact, “behavioral researchers have found that a

or had reinforced: Going about my day I need to pay attention to my gestures and simple hand movements when I’m around others. Especially when I’m trying to make a good first impression on someone. Avoiding signals that would imply laziness, nervousness, anxiety, or shyness are key to being successful at the first impression. Some observations made about Cortez in the short time given include he is a very outspoken individual, highly confident in himself, and shows maturity in his actions. He has

First impressions are crucial because they often establish the foundations of relationships. However, initial impressions can be misleading, especially when individuals judge before fully understanding others’ situations and conditions. In Ryūnosuke Akutagawa’s “In the Bamboo Grove” and its 1951 film adaptation,“Rashomon,” many of the characters are misunderstood because much of their personal backgrounds are unexplained. The immediate takeaway from both the film and the text is that all characters

The first thing I notice about a person is their feet, are they wearing Converse, Pumas, or Steve Madden? When the shoes are to my liking I will proceed to look further, trying to evaluate the type of person behind the shoes. Finding a person who passes my visual test, I start a conversation with a simple “hello, how are you?” in an attempt to get to know him further. “Hey I’m fine, I’m Jake by the way,” extending a hand towards me with slight hesitation, I meet him halfway. Whenever people see

last opened the pages the Iliad and the Odyssey. I had largely forgot about the works, and was not really excited to read them. However, once I began reacquainting myself, I found books that are enjoyable and entertaining to read. My first impression was that they were simply written, but still very descriptive. Let me explain. Homer does go into great detail and no image is off limits in his mind. These stories were the television, video games, and entertainment of their time. For example

at all costs. He was trying to take control of the situation like how an adult would, showing how he had matured. Now that Gary is getting older, he has taken an intrest in girls and is finding the need to impress them. Like how he said, first impressions are important, and he knew that no girl would talk to a childish, immature guy. He started being polite by closing his mouth when he wasn’t talking, keeping a straight posture, and listening to others. Gary morphed from a boy who liked to create

Day 1: Attributions Based on One's Name - Do we form impressions of people based on their names? I think everyone falls victim to this trend especially me. One of my daughters is name Ruby. I have found when I tell people her name, they tend to be very judgmental in their expressions. I too have been done this same act when told odd names. In the military I have a soldier whose first name is Cinnamon, and when I was given her name I had many thoughts, but since I was her supervisor, I couldn’t judge

Everyone judges and place impressions on others subjected of race before engaging with that person. I think it is a natural habit for anyone to judge someone based off of racial identity, it is something we do to know the main basic information about the individual. If you and I were blindfolded when we introduced ourselves, it would be very difficult to get a feel on the person we are engaging with. The only thing we could assume with our ears is if it’s a male or female. We could not assume the
