Elevator Pitch (revised)

Hello Dr. Bernstein! My name is Torie Moctezuma and I have been researching social exclusion in my English class. I have noticed that you have been studying social exclusion and its impact on the human mind. Not only have your publications, “Exclusion and its impact on social information processing”, “Social exclusion and pain sensitivity: Why exclusion sometimes hurts and sometimes numbs”, etc., interested me as well but I find it especially thought-provoking that you have stated “social exclusion is a signal to an evolutionary danger of being alone.” I would really like to do more research on social exclusion and how it affects romantic relationships and in my opinion you are the perfect person to team up with on this for a possible acura project. I would greatly appreciate if you consider my offer. Thank you.

PB2A- Psychology

A discipline that I am interested in is Psychology. A professor here at Abington who studies in this field is Michael J. Bernstein . Bernstein published an article a couple years ago on the relation of past perspectives on present relationships. He has a also published several articles on social interaction and exclusion. This is very interesting to me because I have always been interested in the effect of people’s experiences on their daily lives.

What kind of experiences influence relationships? How are social interaction and exclusion related? Is this the same as rejection? The keywords I used are: relationships, social interaction, exclusion, rejection and past experiences....

One textual genre that most people, if not everyone, are familiar with, is coupons. Coupons attract any type of person but mainly people who are looking to save money; however, there may be some people who just happen to stumble across their Sunday paper or store ad before a shopping trip and score some discounts for things already on their list. As stated before, a coupons main purpose is to save people money, but they are also a good advertising tool. People may decide to try a different brand of a product because it is on sale and if they like that product better odds are they will continue to buy it. However, there are some people who buy products for the sole reason that they are on sale. The context of a coupon is that it is presented at checkout for a specific item and it must be deducted from the customer’s bill. Although this is true, there are many rules, per say, that accompany the use of a coupon. It must be used before the expiration date, which is most often a month afte...

PB1B- Genre Generators

Genres are everywhere, you can find a genre in everything. Having a computer or phone allows people to have access to genres and information on genres at the touch of their fingertips. There are many websites that create genres and often times conventions are attached to them which allows viewers to clearly identify what they are looking for. One genre generator website, SCIgen, is specifically designed to generate computer science research papers and even includes useful tools such as graphs and figures. Each paper begins with an introduction and includes related work, principles, implementation, evaluation, conclusion, and a full list of references. Whenever the generate button is pressed on the website, a different topic comes up. For example, some papers that were generated are, “Refining Hierarchical Databases Using Real-Time Communication”, “E-Business Considered Harmful”, and “Enabling IPv4 and Neural Networks Using Tical”. The next genre generator website is based on comic...
