CLASS I WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS and make your PERSONAL REACTION which is good for 30 points!

YouTube - 1of5 -- Our Earliest Ancestors - Story of Evolution

Just finished watching. . WHOA. . It was really interesting jud. . Got anymore there sir? Hehe. .

Anyway, here's my personal reaction to the video:

I realized that just because we humans are at the top of the food chain, we shouldn't be so arrogant. Like what the video said, we are not special, we just got lucky. For me, this takes animal rights to a whole new level. We shouldn't abuse our advantage by hurting animals or exploiting them because by looking at our origins, we can see that if that chance event (that led to our evolution) had not happened, we would still probabaly be apes or another form of lower animal. On the other hand, it is quite remarkable to observe that such a simple ability such as bipedalism would lead to the intellectual superiority that humans possess today. It is also quite fascinating to trace the incressing complaexity of huamn society and culture as brought about by evolution. We humans then are what and who we are today due to this extraordinary evolutionary process that all began by chance, milions of years ago.

Another thing that I learned from the video, is about the field of research. As it's name implies, there is a constant rechecking of theories and an insatiable desire to verify knowledge. This is an lesson which in the future, I will apply in my study of this course: One should be openminded and objective in research and must not be ashamed to let others check his or her work. Also, this thought about research leads me to the discovery that man's quest for knowledge, especially of his origins is uniquely his own and is one of the few but highly important factors that set him apart from other forms of life.

Ok rba sir? Dli xia Ot?

Now...In Chapter 5, - Why are Genes Culture and Gender under Social Influence? this is open to any student which is good for 20 points!

Let the fun begin!

sir
i know that this is super duper late
pero i hope na at least maka gain gihapon kog points.

factors in social influence:

Charisma
Social influence can also be described as power - the ability to influence a person/group of people to one's own will. Usually people who possess beauty, significant sums of money, good jobs and so on will possess social influence on other, "ordinary" people. So even if the person doesn't possess any "real" or political power but possesses the things listed above (good looks, money, etc.), he could persuade other people into doing something. However, good looks are not solely why attractive people are able to exert more influence than average looking people, e.g. confidence is the by-product of good looks. Therefore, the individual's self-esteem and perceived Persona is the critical factor in determining the amount of influence one exerts.
Reputation
Those perceived as experts may exert social influence as a result of their perceived expertise. This involves credibility, a form of social influence from which one draws upon the notion of trust. People believe an individual to be credible for a variety of reasons, such as perceived experience, attractiveness, etc. Additionally, pressure to maintain one's reputation and not be viewed as fringe may increase the tendency to agree with the group, known as groupthink.
Bully pulpit
Those with access to the media may use this access in an attempt to influence the public. For example, a politician may use speeches to persuade the public to support issues that he or she does not have the power to impose on the public. This is often referred to as using the "bully pulpit".
Another example would be movie stars, who do not usually possess any political power but are familiar to many of the world's citizens and therefore possess social status. They get a lot of media coverage and they have many enthusiastic fans.[citation needed]
Peer pressure
In the case of peer pressure, a person is convinced to do something (such as illegal drugs) which they might not want to do, but which they perceive as "necessary" to keep a positive relationship with other people, such as their friends.

In my own Opinion:
Social influene is when an individual’s thoughts and actions are affected by the people around them. It takes in many forms such as: peer pressure, conformity and persuation. As what I have learned, genes are inherited from our parents. This is because these are inborn skills that are unique from the others. Some of these are our attitudes. Second, our genders are the roles in a society that is attached to us. Lastly, culture is that we are part of a certain group of people that greatly define us as a person.
