¶ … Mate
When selecting a mate, true compatibility is the most important characteristic. For that reason, Claire should select Jim as her husband. Not only do she and Jim have a good sex life, which can be expected to wax and wane over the course of their marriage, but they also share interests and hobbies. In addition, they share similar goals, such as the desire, not only to create a family, but to interact with that family. While Claire may not have the same financial opportunities with Jim that she would have if she married Sam, Jim is steadily employed in a respectable position. It also appears that Jim's demeanor indicates someone who is more willing to help out at home, which should help ease the burden during those times that Claire also needs to work.
In addition, their shared interest in several physical activities indicates that Jim will promote a very healthy lifestyle. Claire may face considerable opposition to her decision to marry Jim, because modern society places an inordinate emphasis on material wealth and the status professions attached to such wealth.
If Claire makes the immediate decision to marry Jim, she would probably be making a large mistake. She has been dating two people for almost a year's time, which indicates that she is not truly ready to make a commitment to either one. Therefore, what Claire should do is stop seeing Sam and continue to date Jim, in order to determine whether or not she and Jim have the wherewithal necessary to sustain a serious relationship. If she does so, she will be better able to make a serious and responsible choice about marriage. In that way, in five years, Claire could be celebrating a third anniversary and have a child with Jim. Although Claire's earning capacity is not shown, responsible financial planning should allow her some flexibility in her work situation. Together she and Jim will be able to expose their child to their shared interests and to provide their child with a warm and loving home environment.
Emotion Development in Early Adulthood Emotional and psychological development is a life-long process tat extends beyond childhood and adolescence into early adulthood, adulthood, and old age. Young adulthood is an important developmental stage in which individuals gain an understanding of who they really are. An important aspect of this stage is the development of relationships with the opposite sex and experiences of love and intimacy. The experiences of mate selection and
(Andrade, 2009, pp. 1 -8) (Ariely, 2006, pp. 87 -- 98) How might other emotions, such as fear or sadness affect our decisions? Fear or sadness could cause someone to consume more or less of a particular product. This is because it can set off emotional triggers that will help the person feel better. For example, when someone is feeling sad, worried, stressed out or fearful they will often smoke cigarettes
These two appear to have a solid plan and I can see them being together for a long time to come yet. The other couple that I interviewed was that of Crystal and Greg. These two have been married for six years and have two children. When they got married, Crystal was 26 and Greg was 42. This was Crystal's first marriage and Greg's second. Greg had three children from
Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
For instance, according to Begley, "Men who were promiscuous back then were more evolutionarily fit since men who spread their seed widely left more descendants. By similar logic, evolutionary psychologists argued, women who were monogamous were fitter; by being choosy about their mates and picking only those with good genes, they could have healthier children" (2009, p. 52). Although modern men and women may not look like Cro-Magnums, they
