QUESTION

The notion of Mating Intelligence (MI) offers a fresh angle. MI includes the mental capacity for courtship and display, sexual competition and rivalry. It is at work in our efforts to form, maintain, coordinate, and terminate relationships. Mating Intelligence guides us in flirtation, foreplay, and copulation; in mate-search, mate-choice, mate-guarding, and mate-switching; and in many other behaviors that may have reproductive payoffs. Here’s the quiz, take it yourself and see how you ‘measure up’. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/200701/the-quiz-mating-iqLinks to an external site.

Then take a look at the following video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu4Uki8VyLc.Links to an external site. 

Do you think MI matters in selecting a mate? Have we pushed the preverbal envelope too far when it comes to finding a mate? Should it be more natural selection versus a state of science? What are the positive and negative considerations when taking an assessment such as the MI or others to help in the selection of a mate?

Post 1 

Personally, Mating Intelligence would help in selecting a mate, but not a necessity where it would matter for everyone to have. We also have pushed the preverbal envelope in a sense where we would generalize the behaviors towards sex rather than individualizing these cues. While I may sound against the matter of mating intelligence, I also think that selecting a mate requires both natural selection with a state of science. One of the positive considerations on taking an assessment towards Mating Intelligence is being able to have a general sense of where you are at when reading the opposite sex based on majority of the conditions. However, taking these types of assessments doesn’t measure the complete picture of someone’s mating intelligence, mainly depending on their conditions. Through the quiz that was posted above, a lot of the questions wouldn’t apply to me because of what I believe in relationships. I decide to not sleep and flirt with many women since I’ve chosen to set standards on what type of woman I would provide my attention to. Some of these questions base your intelligence through the amount of relationships someone has, which would discount my final score on the assessment. I did like some of the questions that were in the assessment which were based of your ability to attract or convince women, and whether you have an idea of what feelings they have towards yourself which are questions that would be more applicable towards the matter. 

Post 2 

MI does not matter when selecting a mate. Men and women are very different; we operate differently and think differently, and each has our own things that the other does not understand. I do not believe it is truly possible for one sex to fully understand the other, neither is it required. When someone believes some of the things on the MI are true about themselves, I think they simply have high confidence rather than an actual understanding of the opposite sex. The MI is pushing the preverbal envelope too far when it comes to finding a mate. I do believe it should be more of a natural selection versus a state of science. Science does not have anything to do with finding a mate. Understanding the opposite sex better may help, but it is not required. What is required is being kind and considerate of other people’s perspectives. You can respect someone’s differences without needing to understand them. Also, being attractive and wealthy should not have anything to do with selecting a mate. Being attractive is something we cannot control, and being wealthy is not an easy task that should be expected from anyone. What should be expected is being responsible with money and striving for better ways to handle money. Also holding a job can be expected. I do not see any positives to the MI. I see the MI as either making someone’s head bigger or destroying someone’s confidence because they do not understand the other sex, aren’t attractive, aren’t social enough, or do not see themselves becoming financially successful. None of these things are required for finding a mate. We are holding too high of expectations with the MI. It does not matter to be social, attractive, wealthy, or to have lots of people attractive to you. What the MI should be asking is if you are kind. Considerate? Patient? Hardworking? And things about your personality that are attractive to others.

QUESTION

Please respond to casita. with 400. words. a p a  style citations and references 

Ensuring that educational institutions offer students high-quality, pertinent, and productive learning experiences is largely dependent on the process of academic program assessment. Chaffey College (2019) states that “Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) are measurable statements that describe knowledge or skills that students achieve upon completion of their academic program”.  PLOs should be clear and measurable (Chaffey College, 2019; SACSCOC, 2023).

In an academic program centered around horticulture, for example, a PLO would read, “Students will be able to analyze and interpret data related to plant sciences.” A laboratory report in which students gather and examine data on plant growth in several environments could be an assignment that relates to this result. A rubric that assesses the students’ capacity to apply scientific methods and analyze the importance of their findings in relation to horticulture practices could serve as a direct means of assessment for this PLO.

Reflecting on my own experiences with an online Business Administration program, I can personally attest to the transformative nature of the capstone project. As a student, I was tasked with a PLO that stated, “Students will demonstrate proficiency in developing strategic business plans.” This objective came to life as we tackled the task of creating a thorough business plan, either for a hypothetical company or a real venture we wanted to create.

Throughout the process, the capstone project turned into a pivotal assignment that not only measured our grasp of strategic planning but also ignited our entrepreneurial spirit. We were creating a business concept rather than just finishing an assignment as we included together market analysis, financial projections, and marketing strategies.  We didn’t simply study business as students; we also developed into capable business strategists who were prepared to take on the world.

In my previous role as Director of Student Services, I have had the distinct opportunity to directly influence and enhance the experience of our students in their academic journey. One of the key areas under my purview is the Career Counseling unit, where we are committed to providing services that not only meet but exceed our students’ expectations and needs.

To measure the effectiveness of our career services, we employ both national and local indirect methods of outcome assessment. For instance, at the national level, we have adopted the practice of administering the widely recognized National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) survey. This standardized career satisfaction survey allows us to capture a broad snapshot of how our services are perceived by students in relation to nationwide benchmarks. The insights gleaned from this survey help us to identify areas where we are excelling and, more importantly, where we need to implement strategic improvements to better serve our students.

On a more localized scale, I have found immense value in conducting one-on-one interviews with our students. This intimate form of qualitative feedback is indispensable as it provides nuanced perspectives on the specific programs and workshops we offer. Through these discussions, students share their personal experiences, challenges, and successes, which in turn shed light on the tangible impact of our career counseling efforts.

By utilizing both national and local indirect methods, I have found this helps us to maintain a holistic understanding of our performance. This dual approach enables us to benchmark ourselves against national standards while staying deeply connected to the individual voices of our students, ensuring that our services remain student-centered, and outcome driven.

Also in my previous role, it was imperative to stay abreast of the accreditation requirements set forth by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), which play a critical role in shaping the quality and credibility of our academic and non-academic programs and services.

SACSCOC (2023) stipulates that institutions must have clearly defined and measurable Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) for both academic and non-academic services, ensuring that there is a systematic approach to improving student learning and success. The commission also requires evidence of effectiveness, which includes assessment of student learning outcomes, program evaluations, and the use of assessment results to inform continuous improvement (SACSCOC, 2023).

To meet SACSCOC’s requirements for improving student development and achievement, we routinely evaluated and improved our procedures in career counseling, student advising, and other student services. Our adherence to upholding the best standards of service for our students could be observed in our commitment to fulfilling these accreditation requirements.

Question

The Compromise of 1850

The Compromise of 1850 was a series of different ideas proposed by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky. It was then passed by the United States Congress in order to fix slavery issues that existed still during that time. It had addressed issue of slavery post Mexican-American war. The plan that Clay had was to keep a balance and stability between the free and slave states (Drexler, 2018). Some of the events that have occured would be that the territories of New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Utah would be organized without mentioning slavery (PBS 2019). In Washington, D.C, the slave trade would become outcast or banned and California would become a free state into the Union as Congress admitted. 

  • The Fugitive Slave Law 1850

This law in 1850 was that all states and other territories would help return the enslaved people who either left or ran away. If people did not assist in this law, they would be fined to pay a substantial amount of money. Therefore there really was not a choice in the matter. Ordinary individuals had to also assist in returning those who ran away or risk having to either be arrested or pay a fine for not engaging in this law. Basically, authorized local governments to seize and return escapees to their owners and imposed penalties on anyone who aided in their flight (History.com Editors, 2018). This law also prevented the enslaved people the fair right to a jury trial, and if anyone intervened they would pay a fine of $1,000 and spend at least six months in prison. In these individual cases, they would be left in the hands of federal commissioners. These commissioners were also paid a hefty amount for returning a potential runaway than if they freed them (History.com Editors, 2018). This law was not met kindly, as there was a lot of resistance by people or different states passing new ways to assist the enslaved runaways. Abolitionists also doubled in their effort to help those escape or needed assistance. There were also riots that supported the idea of resisting this law and there even was a mob of antislavery activists that rushed to a Boston courthouse to forcible liberate an escapee named Shadrach Minkins (Drexler, 2018).

Uncle Tom’s Cabin 1852

Author Harriet Beecher Stowe published her most famous work, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, in 1852. In this book, Stowe discusses the many injustices of how the enslaved were treated and was an important figure during the anti-slavery movement (ushistory.org, 2019).  This book starts with the story of a man named Uncle Tom, who at that time was an enslaved individual. The story goes that while he was being transported by a boat to become auctioned in New Orleans, he ended up saving the life of a little girl named Little Eva. Upon saving her life, her father decided to purchase him for himself because of that noble act (ushistory.org, 2019). However, things do not go as planned or well for Tom. After rescuing Eva and being in her father’s home, she ends up getting ill and before her death requests that her father let go of all the enslaved. He agrees, but is killed by Simon Legree. Legree became his new owner, and had Tom whipped to death. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was also inspired by a slave narrative called “The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an inhabitant of Canada- which was narrated himself in 1849. Stowe, moved by the story and of his life, created the book (ushistory.org, 2019).

  • In my opinion, I feel that the American Civil War was inevitable. There was an ongoing debate between the Northern and Southern states. It became an issue that escalated and progressed as each sides own beliefs, policies and values continued to be fought over. There were many political problems and the role of slavery within the American society. The Southern states wanted to have all the control especially surrounding the topic of slavery. The Northern states had a much different opinion regarding that and would not allow the Southern states to have that kind of influence. In the end, the combination of all of these things eventually boiled over resulting in the Civil War.

QUESTION

American Family

1.Coontz titled her work “The Way We Never Were” because of the ideals surrounding what a “Ideal American Family’’ is meant to look like. The phrase “American dream” of a family with two kids and a dog, in a suburban house with a white picket fence, has long been sed to describe what the typical American family looks like, which is often not what most families actually are. The idea that the man of the house is to be the breadwinner and the woman is meant to be the housekeeper, has since been somewhat forced out of society. It was expected that marriages and families were always to work out and the couple are supposed to stay together till death and be happy for all of their lives, when quite the contrary is true. Coontz touches on this topic when she says that “I found that the male breadwinner family of the 1950s was a very recent, short-lived invention and that during its heyday, rates of poverty, child abuse, marital unhappiness, and domestic violence were actually higher than in the more diverse 1990s.” Furthering that this idea of an “ideal family” was never actually ideal. 

2. According to the Pew Research Center, more children are growing up in households with arrangements other than two parents in their first marriage. This means increased rates of families with parents in their second marriage, parents who aren’t married, households with just one parent, or children living with neither of their parents. Furthermore, two parent households are most common among Asian families and highly educated parents, with white families taking second place. This means that race and social class are tied to the percentage of two parent households in the US. Another interesting trend is that the number of children per household has declined in recent decades, with one and two child families being most common nowadays, and families with three or four children declining in popularity. Another graph also shows a correlation between race, education, and family size: white, Asian, and highly educated parents are likely to have the least children in comparison to Black and Hispanic households and parents with less education.

Woman in Hip Hop

1. The study was combined by Critical Race Theory and Black Feminist Theory to get the concept of rap music. It is examined on how racism is common in our daily living for people of color and a certain race is more judged from others. They write how black women are “sapphire” and “jezebel” in sapphire women are headstrong, bossy, and dominating over men and jezebel they are labeled has fierce, sexy, and driven. Wallace states there stereotyping and its started from slavery days that women are able to do more physical work.

2. A large portion of the students who participated in this study defined independence in relation to financial stability. This means milestones such as moving out, owning a car, having a job, and more are all indicators of and contributors to one’s independence. Additionally, some students cited the level of parental involvement they received as another consideration in their definition of independence. Some stated that their parents fostered them into independence by giving them more and more financial a decision-making freedom as they grew up, but on the flip side, others stated that they are still heavily reliant on their parents in their adult lives, which they feel limits their independence. According to the article, female artists in rap “define independence by condemning the disrespectful treatment of women in society by addressing societal issues like harassment and domestic violence” (Moody-Ramirez & Scott, 59), including artists such as Queen Latifah, Eryka Baduj, Sister Souljah, and more. On the flip side, male rappers’ representation of independent women can vary from artist to artist, with some placing women “in positions of sexual exploitation and moral degradation”, while others “promote positive and uplifting messages about the Black experience” (Moody-Ramirez & Scott, 58)

Sigmund Freud was an interesting individual. His theories on psychosexual development, the subconscious mind, and psychoanalysis were well-researched. To this day, people still talk about him or you see jokes made where he would love today’s world, considering how parents can form a serious and inappropriate relationship with their child(ren) and vice versa. We are going to discuss the concepts already mentioned. When it came to psychosexual development, it was quite frankly, an interesting concept. For one thing, Freud believed the adult personality was formed almost completely at age five (Schultz & Schultz, 2016). Orally, he believed that if an infant sucked, bit, or swallowed, it would lead to habits such as kissing, smoking, and eating when they are older (Schultz & Schultz, pg.314). There were also the anal and phallic stages that he proposed (Schultz & Schultz, pg.315). As for the subconscious mind concept, this only means that a part of our mind can influence our behaviors and actions, and how we might not be aware of it because this is happening “subconsciously”. Psychoanalysis refers to “an incalculable number of observations and experiences, and only someone who has repeated those observations on himself and others is in a position to arrive at a judgment of his own upon it” (Schultz & Schultz, pg.320). All of these concepts stood out mainly because they were interesting. I would like to think that psychosexual development is not at all true; if I can be honest here with no judgment, I find it disturbing. I do not think that the adult personality can be developed at the young age of five. The subconscious mind concept makes sense, but I still believe that we can think before we act on something. When it comes to the psychoanalysis concept, I suppose this could still be used today depending on what the situation entails.

Freud’s concept of ego, id, and superego refers to the conscious and unconscious mind. Also, it refers to the human psyche. The id is the primitive and instinctive component of personality. The id operated on the pleasure principle. The ego is the rational part of the psyche that mediates between the instinctual desires of the id and the moral constraints of the superego, operating primarily at the conscious level.The superego incorporates the values and morals of society, which are learned from one’s parents and others. It develops around 3 5 years. The superego operates on the morality principle and motivates us to behave in a socially and responsible manner.

Freud’s concept of id, ego, supergo stand out to me because i think it relates a lot to how personality develops and functions. Id is the drive for behavior, the superego is moral perfection, and the ego is a balance between the two. Having a balance between all i believe is a healthy and well- functioning personality
