BatmansWife Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 My daughter has a sociology assignment due today. Basically the paper is about doing something without realzing it and someone says something to you about it. You now have an outsiders perspective about it and you change your behavior because of it. She needs to write about multiple examples. Here are a few ideas: chewing/talking with your mouth open biting your fingernails saying "um" when you are talking cracking/pulling your knuckles She needs more examples. I'm at a loss now. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TengoFive Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I had jury duty this week and the prosecutor told us he used to jingle his change in his pocket the whole time of the trial until a defense attorney told him he shouldn't.

bolt. Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Over salting food. Leaving the car radio loud after a noisy road has ended, person gets in the car and notices. Being bossy or abrasive. Speaking in jargon. Buying certain brands for no reason. Scratching private itches, picking nose, ears... etc. Offering something to someone that they say 'no' to, but not realizing that they always say 'no' and not recognizing that there is probably a reason. Subtle pre-judgements of people based on ethnicity or other physial or vocal charcteristics. Not recognizing change in someone you know well, treating them like they 'used to be' untill called on it.

Erica in OR Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Odd, but was something I was doing. Posing in a certain unnatural way for photos (I cocked my head to the side every time). Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
