Knapps Relationship Model in My Life


My relationship is with my girlfriend Tawn who moved far away during my senior year of high school. This had been after around 8 months of dating and we still were getting to know each other. During this time we texted whenever we could through messages and called each other every other day. It went from texting to playing video games with each other to video calling. This would go on for about a year and through this online communication, we became closer than I thought I could with anyone. Looking at it from Knapp Relationship Model this was our intensifying stage. In this stage, people begin to share more profound and personal information, and the relationship becomes more intimate. We became best friends and started making the long drive to see each other every couple of months. This went on for a while until her family decided they were moving across the country and we would have had to make an even greater trip to see each other. At 19 years old we made a huge decision that she would move in with me in order to save our relationship began. I believe because of our connection online during COVID and her moving away we were able to continue our process of developing a closer relationship. If we hadn’t had a phone or internet I believe when she moved away our senior year it would have been the end of our relationship/friendship as a whole. Our online relationship didn’t even put our relationship on hold it. It keeps our relationship developing just as it would if we were face-to-face. Next month will be our four-year anniversary and we are still going strong!

 Sunnies Studios is an eyewear company based out of the Phillippines. They have an Instagram, TikTok, and website. They are great at explaining and adverting their products, especially on TikTok. They provide facts about sunglasses as well as display their products very well. Sunnies Studios When you enter the website the very first thing you see on the top is Kiko Mizuhara, a Japanese model and influencer. You can view her favorite sunglasses as well as wearing them. As you scroll down you see their best-selling sunglasses and at the bottom are prescription sunglasses. I believe they organized it this way to show that they have a huge influencer that uses their glasses at first glance. Second, they have sunglasses below that because it is in season and a majority of people on their site are looking for them. Finally, they have prescription sunglasses, this is what sets their company apart from regular companies. This is unique and very affordable being that they are prescriptions....

Reddit Arguements

  I chose this argument because they engaged in disrespectful behavior about politics via https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lum4xl/https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lum4xl/americans_of_reddit_was_trump_a_good_president// Negative Examples and Concerns with the Online Argument: Lack of Respectful Discourse: The participants in the argument resort to name-calling and personal attacks, such as calling each other stupid and losers. This kind of behavior detracts from the constructive exchange of ideas and hampers meaningful discussion. Baseless Conspiracy Theories: One user introduces conspiracy theories without providing any evidence or factual basis to support their claims. This kind of unfounded speculation can spread misinformation and distort the conversation. Inability to Back Arguments with Evidence: Both sides fail to provide substantial evidence or sources to support their claims. This weakens the credibility of their arguments and limits the potential for...

Digital People

  What are some of the other myths Kirschner associated with Prensky’s findings from 2001? One myth that Kirschner pointed out was that multitasking isn't real. Well, it is but just as efficient as you'd think. Digital Natives who have grown up processing multiple streams of information at once. You'd think since they have grown up in such a challenging environment it would help. However, being exposed to so many tasks and information limits the learning and efficiency of what is being given. Digital Natives may be able to multitask but they are not adequately absorbing what is being shared with them. According to Prensky, what category do you fall into and how has this affected your learning? I fall under the Digital Native category. Being born in the early 2000s means computers, wifi, and tv have always been there as I grew up. This has affected how I've learned my whole life. I remember learning the ABCs when I was 2-4 years old from a disk I would pop into a DVD pla...
