Effect of Job Stress

The effects of job stress can be different from one job to another, depending on the job the stress can be very high or even very low. I believe this can effect a persons life outside the work place and defently have an effect on how a person can act at and outside of work. Like for me i work at a place where customers yell at me and argue with me when they can't get their way. This puts alot of stress on me and sometimes makes me want to do things that I origanlly wouldn't do; however, I do things that keep me calm and keep the stress from getting to me after work.

Video on 08-10-07

The movie we had watch on the Friday, was all mainly about the studies on ADD and other mental deseases; it was also about how we treat them in society and what is done to help cure them. In the movie is showed that some people pretended to be sick when they really weren't, and they did this to see what kind of mental help is done on a person. The movie really shows that we treat people with mental disabilities alot different than other people and not only do we treat them differently but also isolate them from society.

Video on Conformity and Leadership

The video on conformity and leadership was interesting to think about, how one person can make a bunch of people do things that they normally wouldn't do. The video also showed how a group working together can accomplish a whole lot and actually keep the group alive and well. Its interesting how we can be persuaded by someone with more power and how they act is how we will act.

Power of persuasion

Persuasion is something that all of us do everyday of our lives, and even though we don't even know it we are constantly persuading people to do things. If we aren't persuading than others are persuading us to do things; persuasion can be a very power full thing, in a good and bad way. The way persuasion is a good thing is because we could persuade a business deal that could earn you thousands of dollars; however, the down side of things is that people can use persuasion to get people to do bad things. Which could get that person in to a lot of trouble; persuasion is powerful and can be used in a good or bad way.

Prejudice

Prejudice can be a very dangerous thing to do because it can indeed effect a relationship with someone in the future, in this type of thinking there is always stereotypes involved which is bad because that person can be the opposite of what you think they are. For an example adults think that teenagers don't know any better which can be a misinterpreting only because a teenager could be very smart but because on stereotyping that teen may never be given a chance to do anything. Prejudice and influences is a bad thing in society because they can effect people physically and emotionally. The way a person stereotype can hurt in the long run, like you can be very negative to a person because of a prejudice but some time down the line that person can show up again. Everyone is different and yes some people are the same as others but that doesn't mean we should think or treat them the same way. If you only think of a person because of their outward appearance, you'll never know what they really are about on the inside.

Comparing Self-esteem and Self-efficacy

First of all the definitions of self-esteem is the emotional state of which a person is in; and, self-efficacy is how people are able to achieve certain goals that they set. The comparison of these two is that they both work hand in hand, because if you are emotionally down than a person trying to achieve a goal will struggle because of there thoughts of failing. If a person has high self-esteem or their emotions are high than there wants and goals also called self-efficacy will be achieved.

Movie on 07/27/07(Perception)

The movie on perception was about how people can see things in different ways. On the movie it showed how one point of view and be totally different from someone Else's point of view. Also people can see different things like a certain drawing may look like one thing to some people but can look totally opposite by others. This is how perception is, some people might see things one way because of past experiences or expectations; however, other people might see it in a opposite way.
