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. It is exciting to know that people actually study things that may seem miniscule or insignificant but are actually important in humans lives. Some questions I have are:
What effect does rejection have on relationships?
What type(s) of rejection exists? Can these all affect how we pursue relationships?
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.
The articles I decided to cite are listed below:

    I think this is a very interesting field to study, it is also a big field with lots of different concepts and "branches". Are you looking into negative or positive effects on people's lives? What kinds of negative or positive effects are you looking for? And how will this professor enhance your research on this topic? Getting started these questions might help you find your very small piece of this very large pie.

    Something you could possibly explore with this area is the effect of PTSD on people, and how it has effected their lives both positively and negatively. the people could either be military veterans or normal civilians.

    Personally psychology has always been something I have been interested in so I think your interest in psychology too is pretty cool! Something you could possibly look at on this field could be what part of the brain has to do with Depression and Anxiety? And maybe see how it is triggered more in some people then others!

PB1A- Coupons

Image
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...
