 Module 4
For each of the following life events, rate yourself on the following scale: Very Stressed; A Little Stressed; Not Stressed:
1. You just remembered that you have a big project / paper due tomorrow by 5:00.
2. You are driving to work or school and you are running a bit late.  The car in front of you is driving 5 mph under the speed limit and you are having trouble getting around him.
3. You just found out that you are going to be a parent.
4. You accidently dropped your cell phone in the toilet, and it is out of commission for at least a day or two, maybe longer.
Now, get with 4 other people and have them participate in the same activity while you log the results.
In the Discussion, tell about your findings.  Did you find that some people are stressed in a situation that others are not stressed in?  Did you discover that some people are more stressed than others in general, or that some are stressed in some situations but not in others?  What do you think the purpose of this activity is?  How do your findings relate to what you learned about in this module?  What is the most valuable lesson you learned in this module?

Module 5
For this Discussion, you are to create a want ad for a romantic relationship or an online dating service profile.  Don’t worry, especially if you are currently in a relationship, this is for educational purposes only, and is not a true matchmaking activity.   The idea is to think about what you learned in this module about the important traits people look for in romantic relationships.  Creativity and appropriate humor are acceptable and encouraged, as long as you follow directions and address relevance to module concepts.

For your Discussion post / dating profile, you should start by describing your personal qualities, your interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes, then describe the qualities of those you would seek (if this were real.)   After completing your profile, discuss the relevance of the concepts you learned about in this module such as proximity, familiarity, attractiveness, matching hypothesis, attitudinal similarity, exchange processes, and shared activities in relationships.

Now, watch the following NBC Learn Video: Women Air Force Service Pilots Train or War Efforts 
What would your reaction be today if the evening news anchor referred to women in the Air Force as “girl pilots” and made the following comments? “The Air Force wants to get some muscles on those pretty little arms” and “The little blond on the right, with her hair bleached by the sun, you or I might judge by other standards….” 
This video was produced in 1943.  How have references to women changed over the years?  How has society changed its views concerning gender roles?   What examples can you think of where you or someone you know use the term “girls” when referring to grown females?   How is that okay?  Or is it not okay?  What, if any other issues concerning gender issues come to mind?
