Your The Man Performance...Performance show @ school

One thing i would like to explore based on the performance of the show is males perspectives on situation. He did play the role of different characters and how each was effected by a situation but i would like to know in real life, males perspectives on it. This is because in society we always here the females views and not all guys are the same. I wonder why men do the things they do and what do they really feel (excluding thier egos).

The discussion after the performance was very valuable because usually after people watch anything, sometimes they would talk about it but when there are adults, freshman and seniors in the same room we are able to go more in depth about a performance and hear different opinions. One thing in my discussion group was is it easier to be a female in society and we had many different views on it. I think it varies. It is a complex issue and having a big talk about it made me ask even more questions that was never thought of in my head. Also it made me think deeper than i would have if i just went to another class after the performance.

H.W 57 Parenting 101

The majority of the younger kids in our society are not very kid like in my perspective. I hear them curse as if they are adults. I also hear them talk about things kids do not need to know about. When i see kids like that it shows me thier parenting is slacking or is not aware of it. Kids act out and speak about what they observe. If a child is in a house with adults drinking and talking about grown things. The child is going to hear that and talk the way the adults to. So parents need to keep thier child from bad company. If the parent is going to do a grown thing, they need to do it when the child is no where around or is sleep in thier room. Parents need to know that thier kid is very smart and pick up on things they dont think a child would pick up. its the small things that will effect the child. A parents needs to teach thier child to have respect for others at a young age so as they grow older they will have respect to others and know how to act at different locations. A parent need to teach thier child whats right from wrong and when they do wrong, it is the parents who needs to teach them a lesson so the child doesnt do it again. This is where parents go wrong and as they get older, the child feels like they dont need to listen to thier parent and they can do what they want. Basically a parents actions wil effect a child for the rest of thier life.

Instead of beating a child, (which helps sometimes) parents need to find an alternative. When a child does something wrong, make them do something they dont like so before they act, they will think about what they had to do when they got in trouble for doing that. For example my nephews teacher called my sister and told her that my nephew is always distrubting the class by getting up to sharpen the pencil when he is not suppose to (Remind you my nephew goes to school with sharp pencils all the time). So this has been going on for a while and she talked to him about it but obviously he doesnt know how to listen. That same day when he got home she whipped him and made him write until the pencil became small. He had to do that for a week while he brothers went outside to play. This shows how my sister used what he did wrong as a punishment to himself. Another example is when a child writes all over the walls. When they dont listen, the parent should make them write on paper and make them clean the walls for maybe 2 days or a week. Personally i would make the child write again on the wall and clean it and continue to do so until they get the point. beating your children dont always help. It can lead to abuse and there will be a time where the child doesnt feel scared anymore from the beatens and thats when it leads to the child doing what ever they want.

Parents NEED to show thier child love. With out love the child acts out and its not healthy because as they get older they will look for the attention is ways that can harm them. Love is like watering a garden. It makes a child happy. I feel parents should listen to thier child because there are times where children speak and parents go uh huh yeah ok i see. They dont conversate with them and that effects them on the low. It may not be a hug thing to a parent but it is very essential. There is nothing wrong with showing love to a child. play with them. It brings more connection between the two.

The bestest thing about the way i was raised is that i need to earn what i get. When ever i was bad i wouldnt get what i wanted to that made me be good and i was able tp get good things. (things i wanted). not only did they teach me that, my mother would give me a look, instead of hit me when i did something wrong. when she gave me thag look i just stopped doing the bad things because that look is no joke. She taught me to be respectful and told me how i need to act when im not around her. She did very good in pareanting me.

1) What are the benefits of being someones friend before jumping into a romantic relationship?

A) The benefits of being someones friend before being in a relationship is that You get to know the person more and how they would react to certain things..but when ur friends with someone u don't show how u really are sometimes...it usually changes when ur in a relationship

B) I guess you get to know the person better. You get to figure out a lot of stuff about them and then decide of the person is good for you. If you just jump into a relationship, you will not be educated about your partners likes and dislikes and their background. What if they are just playing around and want something out of this relationship just for them self.

C) The advantages of being friends first is that you get have a different understanding of the person and when you are in a romantic relationship there with someone there will be less "fakeness" between you too. Both of you will be less likely to act a certain way to impress each other because you kind of have a sence of who each other is.

2) How do you know when you fully know a person?

A) You can tell when u fully know a person cuz just by the facial expressions they make or how there acting u can tell how there feeling...or when someone ask you a question about them u can asnwer quickly

B)When you are able to connect with them in many ways, and you are able to easily describe them. You need to know their likes and dislikes. You also need to know about their friends and family to be able to know who they really are.

C) I think you can never fully know who someone is. You can understand the person they portray themselves as. Closer friends might be able to distenguish between the self you portray and the self you are less likely to show most people. Even closer friends understand how you think and even if you react to a situation a certain way they know if that's how you really feel or if that is just how you are pretending to act.


3) What do you feel is the #1 key to a happy relationship regardless if it is friend or aqaintance based?

A)The number one key is honesty and trust

B)hmmm, thats a hard question. I guess the number one key to a happy relationship would be total honesty. If you have a relationship filled with a lot of lies then the relationship is fake, and your just too afraid to face the truth. Then later on when your partners finds out about the lies it will cause many problems.

C) Most people would say trust automatically to answer this question. In theory trust is very important but people can say they trust people but may not truly ans fully trust someone.

H.W 55 Research Question/Topic

TOPIC: Friends

QUESTION: What is a true friend?

Henry-your question is over all good. Is your question basically asking, what is the difference between the two? maybe you should focus on either one because it is a hug topic and can be argued in many ways. Its as if what balances the two.

Jia MIn-Your question makes perfect sense and is very specific. It focuses on one thing and i cant wait to read your paper.

Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI)



Before i took the test i really wasnt in the mood because i didn't feel like thinking. i guess thats because im guilty of never thinking about who i really am. i never sit down and say to myself, "who am i?" When i thought that question before taking the survey i felt like the survey might get me upset but instead it did make me think and it felt good to think about it. i enjoyed taking the test and i feel like it took me some time to answer the questions. i really ned to start analyzing myself for now on.

I guessed my friends score and i guessed everything correct. In class after we broke it down about what each other meant, i thought about how she acted and applied the letters to her. Her score was ESFJ. Getting everything right felt reallt good and shows me i pay more attention to her than i do for myself. So overall the test does seem more accurate than others.

Many people are connected in ways we have never thought of. its mainly called networking. But i really dont understand the true meaning to all the relationships we have and how they are significant in ones life. So to try to get a better understanding i broke it down in ways that i think will help me get a BETTER understanding.

HOW DO INDIVIDUALS ACT AND WHY(pychology)
Everyone has a goal and what drives them to want to achieve that goal is motivation. Motivation is having inspiration to do or complete something and are ready to do is. I have many goals and the first one as of now is to graduate and get into college. what motivates me is seeing those who succed and those who did not. Those who suceed seem like they know know what they wanted in life, went for it and are now living happy and thier career is going well. Those who didnt fully do what they want to do are doing things just so they can have income, not really happy with thier jobs or either on the treats. thats what i dont want to be so it motivates me to do well because its worth it. I want a career. not a job. many people in society drive to become successful and be rich or happy. That is because when your rich you can get what you want whenever you want. These motives come from what they have observed in life as well as i did.

My views on life are very much different from other peoples views on life and certain situations. I like to look at things through many different views, mostly in an optimistic view because negativity (as i experienced) is not good for the soul. I guess another reason i try to look at everything positive is because i believe in god and i know that he will handle any situation he has put you in. Its as if the more negative a person is, negative things happen to them.

One time my friend said she knew a boy who did something wrong and it hurted his girlfriend. so before she can fully forgive him she told him to write a poem for her and he did just that. Now as for me i think thats adorable because he messed up and is giving her what she wants so they can be back on track. its rare that a boy will do that. some will not because they may feel it interferes with thier ego which is stupid now a days. other people may look at the boy as a punk because he is doing what ever his girlfriend tells him. They will assume that based off this situation. Its a possibilty many girls would want a boy who does that because its not common.

I feel as if views come from ones surroundance and experience. If you had an experience in life then you will be effected by it and that will determine your views on anything else in life. For example if one has been neglected as a child or didnt have the love from both parents, then as they grow up they will either be the ones starving for attention all the time or the quiet one with no friends. Thier views on life will be based off of what has happened in thier life. Also if one has always been hurt in relationships and lied to they will feel like everyone is like that. thier views on relationships will be negative because of thier past relationships. So by relizing all this everyones views on life really comes from relationships we are in and the ones we see or dont see.
