1. I think dating today is basically 2 people who have similar feelings for each other and share them and have a commitment with each other. I think you know when your dating when you feel something more then friendship and the other person does too and you share that feeling. A date is when two people do something together in order to have fun.

2.I think an advantage on dating in the olden days is that you didn't need money to have fun back then. One disadvantage is that you had less freedom to do what you want. I think a disadvantage today is that a lot of people do not take the relationship serious. I think an advantage is that we have more freedom and less restrictions.

3.
1.Sexual Attraction
2.friendship
3.Fun
4.companionship
5.ego boost
6.finding a spouse
7. overcoming loneliness
8. Social pressure
I chose them like this because the truth is that I want to be with someone attractive and that I can have fun with and someone who has potential to being a spouse later on.

4. The easiest guidelines to follow is treat each other equals. I think it is like this because no one s better then no one and everyone is equal. I think the hardest one to follow is save sex for marriage. The temptation is too big these days.

1. Good listening skills are very important because its very important to understand the other person so you can have better communication with them.
2. You can your doing a good job of listening when you don't ask the person to repeat him/herself and you nod your head to know that you understand along with using good body language.
3. The 9 Listening guidelines are : quiet your own speech and be attentive, communicate an open attitude with your body language, stay in eye contact, avoid assuming anything about what the other person will say,give signals that you are listening, help by summarizing occasionally, ask clarifying questions, check your perceptions of the speaker's body language, and let the person know if you cannot listen at the time.
4. I think the easiest guideline I am use on following is asking clarifying questions because I always like making sure they know I am listening and by asking questions you can get more and give them your opinion.
5. The hardest one to use for me is letting the person know I can't listen to them at the time. I'm a very nice guy and if you have something you need to talk about I will listen no matter what even if I'm very busy.

1. Body language is communication using signs and expressions with your body. People could lie with what they say but with their reaction and attitude you can tell the truth.
2. Humans love physical touch since they were young and loved to crawl up to their parents. It is a sign of affection between people. As people get older it is also very hard to touch another person like your parents.
3. My mom always yells like if she's mad. I know she is not mad or angry but she yells at us. I think she is used to doing this in order for us to do things so she just always yells when she wants us to do something but when we just talk we talk in a normal voice. My mom has been laughing a lot. She and I will laugh about a lot of things and joke around. She also gets real emotional over he soap opera lately. She has been talking to me about many serious things to and I see that she is very worried about what I will do. She is also very very very excited about my brother and him getting married. I think she wants grandkids cause she loves playing around with little babies.

1. Carl Jung explains how to be whole by showing how stereotypes affect both genders. They take away are self motivation to pursue happiness. The books explains becoming whole through a poem by Nancy R. Smith called "For Every Women".
2. One of the things Jesus did that was not stearotypically masculine was crying. He cried for the death of his friend Lazarus. Also showing leadership and strenght through love was another thing that he did.
3. I think the drill instructer pushed it to far. Men are still highly demanded to show agressivness and strength but not that much.
4. Sojourner Truth argued that she has done everything a man can do and that she has also been puniched for her actions as a man would but have not been rewarded because God was not a women therefor women can't have any power. She mentions how God came from a women and a man and that we should all be treated equal.
5. "For every woman who was not taught the intricacies of an automobile, there is a man who was not taught the satisfacation of cooking" is the line that speaks to me the most since I have always enjoyed cooking and I been practicing it for a long time. It makes me think that stereotypes shouldn't stop you on pursuing something you love to do.

If I was the oppisite sex I guess my day would start up in the morning when I would wake up. I think that the room would smell a nice or something. I think they would shower and shave their legs and stuff. I think I would take like 2 hours decide what to wear. Once I found out what I wanted to wear I would look at the mirror for like an hour more. Once I was done I would complain how bad I look even though I look nice. After that i would eat some nasty breakfast like Special K cereal or something like that. I would go to work driving very slow and bad. I would arrive to work late. Talk my way out of it with the boss. Gossip for 2 hours with my co-workers. I would be complaining all day. I would have fits for small reasons and cry about it all day. When I would go home I will continue to complain. I would then watch Desperate Housewives, The OC and Laguna Beach. I would call all my friends and gossip about the friends I gossiped at work. I would then be playing hard to get with a guy I really like. I would then take his money and go shopping for hours and hours, until the credit card is rejected. I would then go home and go to sleep.

1. I didn't include all of them since I had more time to think about it and I used the new ones I found to better express myself.

2. I would, I mean I am not trying to hide anything from anyone and what is on it is basically what people think of me and what I think of myself.

3. a) I think that the Johari window was the easiest since Mr. Shumaker partnered us up with the people and all we had to do was exchange the screens. It was easy too since all the words were positive to describe the other person.
b)I think the hardest one was the "find someone who..." since it involved talking to almost everyone and asking them questions.
c)I think the Johari windo takes the most risk since you have the chance to tell someone what describes them and they can not agree.
d)All of them involved asking them positive questions or describing them in a positive way. They all recomonded interacting with everyone around you. They all taught you something new about the person.
