Eyes |
Happiness
Weary Stress Optimistic Sadness |
– The happiness that lies within my eyes, is witnessing the smiles I get to put on each and every face of people I encounter every day.
– The weary/stress corresponds with each other. From studying to working, I get frustrated when a patient doesn’t understand work regulations or when I just don’t understand the text in a Statistic textbook. – My optimism always gives me hope in pursuing my future with any limitations. The positive energy within my spirit will always guide me into a successful pathway. – The sadness that lies within me is for the souls that are no longer with us. Not to physically watch me blossom into the woman I am today but always leading me to the correct route. |
Psychological Theory: Social Learning/ Cognitive development theory:
– I think the two categories I chose for psychological theories correspond with each other. We all grew up with different people and some are more likable than others and we question ourselves why? Well, when we encounter with one and other, we analyze them based on their appearance, mentality, and body language. We visualize these three aspects and then think to ourselves; how can I shape my well-being or future to be better of an individual than they are. We all have dreams to have a family and shape them into someone better in this world. but where do we get this judgment from? We analyze the world and try to obtain qualities that we or children will acquire someday. Sometimes when I’m talking to an individual who comes to me for advice and the other individual is being immature in the situation, sometimes you have to be the bigger person and take the high road and don’t take that detour they’re on. |

Hair |
Beauty
Silly Exhaustion/Frustrating |
– My hair has always attracted attention. I have a mid-thigh length, so I can see why many are astonished by it. Your hair says a lot about you, it gives you the satisfaction for yourself that you look acceptable. I’m an Indo-Caribbean female, most of us have long black hair that represents our identity.
– Hair can be portrayed in millions of styles. When I’m in a goofy mood, I usually but my hair in two ponytails and move my head from left to right to feel them bounce off my ears. – My hair can be extremely frustrating. I have naturally curly hair and it’s hard to control the frizz whenever I wash it. Even when I’m trying to do my hair for work, it takes me approximately 1 hour to straighten my hair. |
Critical/Cultural Theory:
– The cultural theory part, when I choose to follow the tradition of having excessive long black hair. I could have chosen to not follow the heritage and do as I please. My parents have always been on the cultural traditional side to always follow rituals, social practices, and festival events. |
| Talk | Confident
Amusing Motivational Quarrelsome |
– My family/friends mostly relate to this category because they have such a huge impact on me. They always told me I always have strong statements to make. When I do express my words, it’s a boldly as possible.
– I always enjoyed putting a smile on other faces. it warms my heart when I can fill someone with laughter. – The motivational speeches towards myself and my family/friends are always my friends. I love inspiring individuals to discover themselves they never knew they had. – I can be very argumentative when it comes to making a stand in something I believe in, proving someone wrong or proving my innocence. My strong use of vocabulary tends to transform when I get into this character. |
Psychological Theory: Social Learning/ Cognitive development theory:
– We all grow up to be likable, wanted, loved, and accepted by each and every one. But in reality, there are some people who would just dislike your soul without even approaching you. So, with the people who do value us in life, we make the decision on how we want to display our words depending on the individual.

- In what ways does your embodied communication comply with the command performance?
- Embodied communication would comply with command performance because our bodies are just that way, we are forced to be mannerly when meeting someone which is to greet them. The image of yourself that is embodied in the communication. For example, When I’m going for an interview, we have to be respectful, create a great first impression, shake their hands, and greet them. That’s both verbal and physical, our body is in command to do that. This would be more as a cognitive development theory, to analyze your audience before you make your gesture. Going back to the example provided, full-on eye contact, firm body posture, as well as a smile. Also, reasoning with my cognitive abilities if I’m presenting my image accurately.
- Are there any ways you have refused a command performance?
- I think we refuse command performance in our everyday lives. A request is being made to us, we don’t abide by the command, and do as we please. For example, if we are told to complete chores by 4 pm by our parents. Although they gave us specific instructions, we chose to disobey. We eventually complete the task but on our own time, not when it is demanded. This would be more toward a social learning theory. We are told to complete a task to indicate if you were to receive an award to determine if the appropriate behavior was initiated.
Hello Megan,
It’s always very interesting to read your posts and how you express yourself in a free spirit style. I love your attitude toward life in general and your commitments to your goals, not too many people can be this determined.
” My optimism always gives me hope in pursuing my future with any limitations. The positive energy within my spirit will always guide me into a successful pathway”. I couldn’t agree more because I’m an optimistic person as well and that keeps going and pushing myself to move ahead. We can be happy and successful if we believe life is beautiful and full of opportunities.
Hello Megan,
I also have natural curly hair, and understand how frustrating it can be to maintain. However, as we get older I believe we learn to appreciate our hair and take it for what it is. It is interesting that you mentioned that we refuse commanded performance in our everyday lives; I definitely agree. I believe everyday we chose to be who we want to be. Even if we have a scheduled routine, our every day behavior can differ.
Hello Megan,
Your perception of your body parts is very motivating as you have strongly stated the eminence of your body parts. I could not just point out one but all your feelings, message related to those gives very strong inspiration to every single to who is reading your this discussion for self-love. Thank you for being you and adding very motivational message in the discussion.
Hey Megan
I love the way you express yourself in these discussion boards. The way you described the eyes and got into detailed on how it expresses our feelings without having to say much is very important. Talking is also great because it’s how we communicate and express our feelings. I agree with the fact that you said “some people who would dislike your soul without even approaching you” this is so true there will always be people like this but also people who love and appreciate us whom we can talk to and share knowledge.
