In thinking more about my final paper, and how I can possibly relate it to my major, something I am highly interested in, I have decided to focus on human connection and interaction. The emotions that draw to people together, for a variety for reasons, and what provokes certain situations. I have found samples of pictures I would love to have as part of this to support what I am going to say about these different scenarios. Among the obvious situations depicted above, I would also like to include not to "picture perfect" scenarios, and express what may lay behind those as well.
It seems pretty cool. Give us a sample of how that commentary would go.
ReplyDeleteI wish you'd seen the really excellent talk by psychologist Paul Bloom at SHU on Wednesday. He's done studies find that children as young as 6 months strongly response to pro-social behaviors acted out by puppets, or even by colored wood block--as long as those blocks have faces on them. He has many articles posted at http://pantheon.yale.edu/~pb85/Paul_Bloom.html
