    1. People and organizations in clock-time culturesare more likely to emphasize monochronic (M-time) approaches, meaning they like to focuson one activity at a time. People in event time cultures, on the other hand, tend to emphasizepolychronic (P-time) approaches, meaning they prefer to do several things at once.

      I think that going by M-time keeps things organized and on track. Not saying that P-time can't be beneficial, but it's kind of hard to have a level head to focus on something if you're multitasking because your brain tends to move in different directions which can start to make things confusing. By completing activities from start to finish before moving on to the next can keep an individual focused and able to think through things thoroughly. I personally take the M-time approach throughout my daily routines.

    1. Females are much more likely than males to engage in relational aggression, defined asintentionally harming another person’s social relationships, feelings of acceptance, orinclusion within a group (Crick & Grotpeter, 1995). Examples of relational aggression includegossiping, spreading rumors, withdrawing affection to get what you want, excluding someonefrom your circle of friends, and giving someone the “silent treatment.

      I agree with this because I've seen many cases where females have put other females down or have been aggressive in friendships and/or relationships. There are times when I see girls gossiping so bad about another person just because they can or even talking about their own friends when they're not around. Social media is bad for showing how much females can put one another down such as girls attacking each other in comments on pictures or even going back and forth on a status one posted. As far as relationships I know some girls can be the more physical ones meaning if they were to get into an argument with their partner and doesn't like what they're hearing they will hit them or get rough with them because they feel like no consequences will come their way. I also feel like there are reasons to why females display relational aggression, but that still doesn't make it an excuse for it to be okay.

    1. A person might, for example, generally becompetitive with others, or cooperative, or self-sacrificing. People with different social valuesdiffer in the importance they place on their own positive outcomes relative to the outcomesof others.

      I can relate to this annotation because my senior year of high school I was on a cheer team who competed against other cheer teams. It was very competitive because every other Saturday we had to meet and compete against 10 different schools. We also had to make sure our routine was perfected because we had to make sure we looked better than any other cheer team . Me and my cheer team had to cooperate with one another by being at every single practice Monday through Thursday. As a female sometimes we can get a little irritated so we had to cooperate with our coach and give her our very best or she would get angry. Being on a competitive cheer squad takes a lot of hard work , time, and money. We had to make sacrifices if it meant missing my little sisters dance recital to practice if that's what I was required to do.

    1. ASD is defined by the presence of profound difficulties in social interactionsand communication combined with the presence of repetitive or restricted interests,cognitions and behaviors. The diagnostic process involves a combination of parental reportand clinical observation. Children withsignificant impairments across thesocial/communication domain who alsoexhibit repetitive behaviors can qualifyfor the ASD diagnosis. There is widevariability in the precise symptom profilean individual may exhibit

      I've witnessed these difficulties firsthand because my younger brother Issac is eight years old and is diagnosed with autism he is usually happy and jumps up and down to show his excitement. But when he was younger he did have hard time trying to stay focused in class because he was always active. Issac also did not get along with some of the kids he would get into fights when he was not getting his way. Therefore he was lacking in the communication skills area. Issac wasn't interested in things that some younger kids usually would love to do. He never wanted to cooperate in his art class such as painting, and drawings. He hardly ever wanted to play with his toys that my mom bought him for Christmas. But he did love going to park and playing on the swings and slides.

    1. People respond negatively when their need to belong is unfulfilled. For example, collegestudents often feel homesick and lonely when they first start college, but not if they belongto a cohesive, socially satisfying group

      This statement is very true. One thing I was worried about when I came to college was meeting new people that I fit in with. I thought I was going to be lonely and not able to fully enjoy my college years if I didn't meet people that would make the experience better. Which. I feel like turned out to be true because since I've been here I've had three different sets of friend groups. Some bad some good and during the times I wasn't in a group I was more stressed out than ever. I feel as though you need friends/groups to get through college because they're apart of your support system. After I found the group of friends I have now my time here is getting better and more enjoyable. No matter how much someone doesn't want to admit that we need to be apart of a group to feel a sense of belonging or happiness, we do! We're human, we were meant to interact with one another and not be alone because isolation can cause a person to develop many problems like depression.

    1. Also, with the approach of adolescence, peer relationshipsbecome focused on psychological intimacy, involving personal disclosure, vulnerability, andloyalty (or its betrayal)—which significantly affects a child’s outlook on the world.

      I agree with this statement because once a child reaches to the stages of adolescence they tend to look for friends they can trust and build strong connections with. When finding friends like that you start to feel comfortable with them and become attached, so if they do something to betray you it could effect your feelings towards things like trust. I have a personal experience of this happening to me...basically when I was in the eighth grade I became friends with someone that was my best friend over the next 4 years until the second semester of our senior year approached. Throughout those 4 years she was the best friend anyone could ask for. She was always there for me when I needed her, we were always together, we understood each other, etc. Senior year came and things slowly started changing with her especially because she started hanging with a new friend and making me feel left out. Long story short, "my best friend" switched up on me for her new friend and stopped talking to me for a petty reason. After that whole situation I gained a completely different perspective on friends and just people I got close with in general because I began to feel like I couldn't trust people who claimed to care about me including family members. I'm slowly learning how to trust again, but I've learned most importantly that people have to earn my trust instead of me just giving it to them right away. Peer relationships can definitely effect someone's emotional development.
