In "The Mystery of Attraction," Harville Hendrix claims that attraction between human beings is based on a number of factors that ultimately leave human beings baffled on exactly how humans experience such intense emotions as seen in romantic love and why so many couples tend to have complementary characteristics. He supports this claim by explaining several theories of attraction. His biological theory of courtship states that "we instinctively select mates who will enhance the survival of the species" (483). This theory suggests instinctive evolutionary attraction such as a female's rosy cheeks on a slender frame and a male's muscular physique are the features which take paramount importance in mate selection. Another theory, which he calls the exchange theory, emphasizes that "we select mates who are more or less our equals" (483). This theory proposes the act of mate selection as being a game of weighing the positive and negative characteristics in hopes of attaining equality in all aspects of both mates. His final idea, which is called the persona theory, "maintains that an important factor in mate selection is the way a potential suitor enhances our self esteem" (483-484). Attraction as it pertains to this theory places emphasis on what others think and the image of how others perceive someone with a certain mate.…
Throughout the years the MBTA went through a series of transformations to accommodate service for its passengers as the economy grew. Starting with ox carts, to stagecoaches, ferries, omnibuses, electrification, electric streetcars, trolley and bus services were all modes of transportation throughout the years of service.

As the streets started to experience a high volume in traffic the MBTA sought to find other solutions to relieve the congestion in the streets.

While driving through Los Angeles it is difficult to appreciate that several of the streets that Angelinos drive on today were once the main arteries and veins of the city. Streets such as San Vicente Boulevard, Venice Boulevard, and the famous Santa Monica Boulevard are a few that owe their beginnings to the electric trolley. In 1887, the first appearance of electric trolleys mobilized Los Angeles in a way that would not cease. Within several years railways such as the Pasadena and Los Angeles Railway and the Los Angeles Pacific Railway would merge to form the Pasadena & Pacific Railways. Not many would have thought that the fate of those individual street railways erected in Los Angeles in due time would become part a large systematic network.…

Relationships with the individuals around us are crucial to ones social existence. Personal accounts by people who have been isolated from the outside world serve as a reminder of our dependence on others. What draws us into these "relationships?" Studies of interpersonal attraction have concluded that people are attracted mostly to those that they find physically attractive and who are geographically close. To understand why we are attracted to certain individuals we must first understand an individual's person perception or the process of forming impressions of others. First impressions often help us to determine whether we are attracted to another individual. Our first impressions of an individual have a great impact on our perception of that person, even though we encounter that person for only a brief period of time. When we perceive a person we account for both the positive and negative characteristics of that individual. Although most people seem to be interested in another individual's positive characteristics, the negative information is usually weighed so heavily that it overrules all the positive information about that person.…

echnology is an ever present force in today’s modern society. Many people never leave home without a cell phone or forget to check the newest trending Twitter topics every hour. It is sad to say that some people spend more time on social media than with the people who matter most: friends and family. In “The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury, a robot arrests a man while he is on a walk because the man is going against the rest of society by not spending every waking moment glued to a television. This story plays a bigger role than Bradbury could have imagined because more and more people are spending more and more time online reading inaccurate articles or watching Netflix than interacting with real humans. Technology can poison the mind by limiting…
The Harlem Renaissance was a turning point for many African Americans. A vast amount of literature was created specifically for this group during this era. For the first time, African Americans were being told that it was okay to be proud of who they were. This new consciousness and self-awareness was prominent in many works of literature, but several writers began exploring the darker side of this movement with literature that concentrated on the negative aspects of race relations in America. Nella Larsen 's novel Passing concentrates on this theme with the story of Clare, a tragic mulatto who "passes" as a white person. Not only is Passing representative of the plight of the tragic mulatto, it is also a novel that explores the complexities of human relationships.…

n. 1. in social psychology, the natural feeling of being drawn to other individuals and desiring their company. This is usually (but not necessarily) due to having a personal liking for them. 2. in environmental psychology, a quality that affects the proximity of relationships - usually reflecting such factors as their liking for each other. For example, male-female and female-female pairs who like each are found to be closer to each other than do pairs who feel no personal attraction toward each other. Environmental influences, such as noise, heat, and humidity, decrease attraction between pairs of individuals. See proxemics.…
