Cards

            As I look at the cards I notice that the older a person gets, the more jokes are told. They are not as many cards saying something wise or how much you mean to a person. The cards joke about a person’s age and even some with for those with hair loss. Others have some saying on them only to go back to joking about their age.

            Teenagers through fifty old cards joke about age and memory. There are some cards that are meaningful with all these ages but less as you start to look through the cards that hit twenty year olds.

             Cards for people twenty through fifty year olds start to really play around more with age. They start to say things that they now teenagers view them as old. They also start to say that you’re getting older, enjoy the young years.

            When people hit the sixty year range, the cards start to become more reflective and meaningful again. They start to tell the person to look back on their life and their experiences. They also start to say how much a person means to them.

            All the cards joke about age so the recipient will have a good laugh. Not all people think that aging is a bad thing, but more part of nature and that there is no way to avoid it. Development theories think that most people look down on aging and think that it is a bad thing. They don’t think that all people will have a good laugh or get out and stay active or do things. Some think that the older you get the more boring your life is. These cards differ because not all people look at life like that, but as a memory and events that they can pass down to generations and say that they lived during that time when that happened. They want to give a good laugh to people and still have them reflect on their life.

First Three Chapters

                I learned about what makes psychology a science. Knowing that you can’t assume and that you have to test while being open minded and watch what really is going on opens up a whole new level of aspect on life. Learning how psychology is a science lets me open my mind more and question things that have been given. It gives me more insight to what can be and what can’t be.

            I also learned that culture matters. Culture helps shape our behavior and who we are, but we would still be the same person if we were born in a different culture. Culture just helps shape our views of many different topics. It shows me that even though I am American I could be British, Italian, or even Chinese and still have the same personality. I am able to be who I am in any and every culture just by being myself.

            I furthermore learned what make fraternal and identical twins different besides their looks. Identical twins develop from a single fertilized egg that splits in two. They are genetically identical and natures own clones. Fraternal twins are developed from separate fertilized eggs. It shows me that there are still differences between all twins. I see both identical and fraternal twins all day and learning more about the conception differences helps me understand more about how they are identical or fraternal.

            I found the mating preferences most interesting. Reading why men and women chose each other and why gives more insight into others minds. Men are more attracted to women who are healthy and fertile-appearing to send on their genes into the future. Women are more attracted to men who are more likely will stick around and be fathers a long time. Reading it and then talking to people about the person they are with all come back to the psychological reasons even though they think that they are with the person for some other reason.

            1) Why are fraternal twins more overlooked than identical besides fraternal being more common?

            2) Are we able to be like one parent more than the other?

            3) Even though all twins are close socially, why are identical twins deemed “more close” than    fraternal?
