Declension

In the first social setting, the people reactions to me walking around in my boxers was normal. No one seemed to mind when I asked, is it alright that I am in my boxers. In fact, most of the males on the floor walk around in their boxers. In an all male environment, most males break this folkway of walking around in boxers and don’t seem to care when other males do the same. I felt social excepted the whole time while I was conducting this experiment on the all male floor, and did not experience any difficulties carrying out this assignment. In fact, most of males where just wearing their boxers when I conducted this experiment. However, the results in the co-ed floors were slightly different, all of the males in private were comfortable with people wearing their boxers around but when females entered the room, the males on the floor comfort to a person wearing boxers dropped. To be more socially expected by the girls, they took the side that they thought the girls would have been on. They grew increasingly less comfortable with the fact a male was sitting in his boxers with females present. In contrast, after the experiment was conducted I ask the females of the floor what they thought when they first saw a male sitting and socializing in his boxers. Ninety percent of the females said they didn’t mind at all because at home they had family members that did the something all the time so they were used to it and they found it to remind them of their bothers at home.

In chapter 3 of the Social Psychology, the psychologist David Myers talks about interesting topics under the title of Social Beliefs and Judgments. In this chapter, he focuses on important concepts and one of them is self-fulfilling prophecy. As Myers (2014) said, “When our ideas lead us to act in ways that produce their apparent confirmation, they have become what sociologist Robert Merton (1948) termed self-fulfilling prophecies” (p.109). So basically he talks about beliefs that may lead…

of indirect education, I have been able to advance and improve my learning Latin. In addition to enabling me to learn the English language, these skills have allowed me to study Latin in a manner highly unconventional in other Latin classes. Many individuals categorize Latin as a "dead language," as the Vatican is the only geographical location where Latin is spoken as a primary language. However, my high school Latin teacher, Mr. Stringer, viewed the language through a unique lens - through…

London dialect which was a literary dialect spoken during this time started to spread with great speed, and many native English speakers found it better than…

He calls it a new freedom movement and then continues to draw a parallel between this movement, and the freedom movement in India led by Mahatma Gandhi.
