Dreams and Latent Learning

I have had a dream before that involved me running away from a tiger and coming to an edge of a cliff and falling off. It is said the tiger represents a sense of leadership and you need to step up. The cliff suggests you are in a situation in your life that is a big important decision.
My second dream was about a bigger man who was after my family, and we escaped in a car. The car represents even in a pleasent mood, you still maybe restless and uneasy. Seeing the man represents I have been lossing my identity.
Finally my last dream was about I shot a big deer with my bow. Hunting indicates that I'm seeking for some inner emotional or physical desire. The bow shows the accomplishments of your goals in life.

Little Albert

1. Yes the experiment supported there Hypothesis, they said that when having an object create an emotion, showing them a object later that was formarly neutral but similar will create a emotional reaction that was the same as the first. This is supported by the experiment because Albert paired the fear of rats with anything white and fuzzy.
2. Albert became generalized because he began to pair all white and fuzzy objects together which created a fear for him.
3.They were used because he made him think of happy and good experiences whenever assosiated with the rabbit. After doing this Peter started to like rabbits because he thought of only good things when around him, eliminating th fear.

Bullying

I believe there are no kinds of okay bullying. I think you can joke around with your friends and make jokes, but you cant take to a point of where its bullying. I think my eyes were opened a little by some of the things verboomen talked about, such as how drama affects bullying so much. A student could improve the school bullying by not making judgement so fast and get to know the person before just assuming things about them. Also people could step in and try and stop bullying when seeing it and try and help them work it out.

Twilight zone

I was not very surprised at the end, because I thought it was very predictable. I had a feeling the person that was 'gross' was actually going to look normal in our standards and the 'normal' people were going to look nasty. Beauty is subjective because it is all based on opinion. This also would make it changeable because peoples opinions are always changing. Beautiful is being in good physical shape, and having confindence in yourself. This is realistic I think because you can work to have both of these things.

Role playing

In class when I was labeled the teachers pet my thinking was altered a little bit. I began to try a little harder and listen more, just to please the teachers. I dont think I completely changed but I saw some differences. Also I would do favors without even thinking about it I just did it.

Stanford Prison Study

I believe that prisoner 8612 changed the most from this study. He was willing to pretend to go crazy just to get out of this fake prison. He was really concerned about what was happening and he was willing to change himself completely. Other people changed throughout the experiment but the thing about 8612 was he changed so quickly, he was the first person to actually change himself to fit the role of this prison. Others began to change after this, but I really believe he opened the gate for the others to change themselves as well. I thought this experiment was never a good idea. Right from the start it sounds like it could easily go bad. People would changed to make there lives easier or better. And others wouldn't change because of there dignity.
