Section A

               

Introduction:

We all experience different emotions and behaviors throughout our lives.  As a driver, one of the most dangerous emotions is anger and the most dangerous behavior is aggression.  I am enrolled at the University of Hawaii, Manoa and have recently become a member of the Psychology 409 course.  In this course, we are discussing many topics of driving aggression and road rage.  We are also investigating a much more common aspect of technology and its constant advances.  This first report is entitled “Information Literacy” and contains well detailed lists of different tasks that I hope will not create as much stress as I have had throughout this first report.

Section B

 

British Journal of Social Psychology

Abstract: The research presented in this paper uses memory work as a method to explore six women's collective constructions of two embodied practices, sweating and pain. The paper identifies limitations in the ways in which social constructionist research has theorized the relationship between discourse and materiality, and it proposes an approach to the study of embodiment which enjoins, rather than bridges, the discursive and the non-discursive. The paper presents an analysis of 25 memories of sweating and pain which suggests that Cartesian dualism is central to the women's accounts of their experiences. However, such dualism does not operate as a stable organizing principle. Rather, it offers two strategies for the performance of a split between mind and body. The paper traces the ways in which dualism can be both functional and restrictive, and explores the tensions between these two forms. The paper concludes by identifying opportunities and limitations associated with memory work as a method for studying embodiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

 

 

Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion

The year 1988 marked the tricentennial of the birth of the Swedish scientist, theologian, and revelator Emanuel Swedenborg. Swedenborg and His Influence consists of 25 papers originally presented at a symposium held by the Academy of the New Church which is founded on Swedenborg's teachings. The subject matter of these papers is as varied in content as were Swedenborg's activities in life. He had a long career as a scientist and inventor who made important contributions m the mining and metallurgical industries, devised a method for navigation based on the position of the moon, made contributions to the theory that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny in biology, founded and edited the first scientific journal in Sweden, and was undoubtedly among leading scientists in eighteenth century Europe.

Section G

 

                This report is a list of different common activities that one may go through in their daily technologically advanced life.  Technology is constantly changing and people are not always up to speed with these changes.  If that is the case, these people may become very frustrated or intimidated by their computer and accessing their internet.  It isn’t always easy, but the best advice I can give you is to be patient.  This report allowed me to become aware of the different emotions I encountered when dealing with the internet and the actions I chose to take.  I have now mastered the skill of patience after completing this report.  I also have learned a few new skills along the way and hope to be able to continue to apply and spread my knowledge accordingly.
