8-2 Activity: Journal Derwin Siverand PSY-355 Theories of Social Psychology

 Describe how you have respectfully defied social norms in an authentic life example. Housewives in my social circle are expected to do more than just keep the home fires burning; they are also responsible for helping their husbands provide financially. I have never been a really dependent person or one who is comfortable asking for assistance. When my husband and I first started dating, I was a senior in high school, so I spent most of my time studying while he was at work. I could not tolerate it when he paid for everything we did together. When I graduated from high school, I made a commitment to myself to support my family financially. We have been married for a while, have a house, and two dogs. My husband and I have put off having children, and he takes care of the house and the dogs while I work and go to school full-time. Although our conventional peers view us as odd, we find great satisfaction in our nontraditional way of living.  Describe how you have successfully collaborated with others in a diverse and inclusive group setting in an authentic life example. A unique initiative made it possible for me and other high school seniors to attend the regional university. I worked on a group project with three other students in my introductory biology class at the university. There was a wide range of ages and races among my group's participants, from seventeen to forty-five. We recognized early on the importance of expanding our horizons to include each other's areas of expertise if we were to succeed. We learned each other’s capabilities and limitations, and then we divided up the work. The research for this project fell to me because of my history of success in tracking down relevant sources. Thanks to our superb teamwork, we all received an "A" on the project, and our friendship has endured for the past few decades.

 Describe how you have helped, shared, or provided comfort to those in need in an authentic life example. When the epidemic broke out in 2020, I was at home and felt exhausted and worthless. I did things like run errands and check in on them every day to make sure my grandparents were okay. But I always felt inadequate, as if I had failed because I had not done enough. When I came across the "Be My Eyes" app online, I did not waste any time signing up to help out. Live video chat between the visually impaired and sighted users is made possible by this app. The ability to help others without putting my own safety at risk is the primary motivation for my occasional participation in this service. People have called me and asked me to do something as simple as counting shoes.  Describe how you have applied a different lens to understand another person’s worldview in an authentic life example. One of my best friends is a huge proponent of vaccines and a wealth of knowledge. She does not have a blanket policy against vaccinating her kids, but instead weighs the pros and risks of each vaccine individually. At first, we did not believe the covid vaccine would actually work. I believed in the Moderna vaccination so much that I got two doses. One of my closest friends was a staunch opponent of vaccinations. The mother-to-be was pregnant again, but she declined the immunization out of concern for her unborn child. Instead of being argumentative or trying to persuade her otherwise, I tried to put myself in her shoes and understand why she felt the way she did about the vaccine. I came to respect her position after a lengthy discussion with her, even if I finally chose a different path. Our friendship has endured in part, I believe, because she recognizes that I can see things from her point of view.
