Study Notes

Social identity is formed by societal norms, expectations, and cultural influences
Examples include student identity with expectations of academic achievement, time management, and collaboration
Social identity is both intersectional (e.g., race, gender, class) and fluid (changeable over time)
Intersectionality highlights how different aspects of identity combine to create unique experiences
Social identity fluidity implies that identities can shift and evolve based on new circumstances

Module 8: Evolved Traits

Darwin proposed all living organisms share a common ancestor
Diversity of life is due to natural selection acting on heritable traits
Natural selection leads to organisms adapting to their environments
Peppered moth example illustrates how fitness changes based on environmental conditions
"March of Progress" image is a misconception showing linear progression from apes to humans, which is incorrect; evolution is branching and not linear

Module 9: Colonization Road

Royal Proclamation of 1763 recognized Indigenous land rights
Residential schools aimed to erase Indigenous culture
Indoctrination, language changes, and abuse were inflicted on Indigenous children
Two Row Wampum Treaty pledged mutual respect
Settlers benefit from Indigenous land, and everyone in Canada is bound by treaties requiring mutual respect and responsibility

Module 11: Meaningful Life

Example of meaning: A hobby like playing music
Coherence, Purpose, and Significance
- Coherence: understanding how life events fit into a larger narrative
- Purpose: pursuing long-term goals
- Significance: feeling that life matters
Frankl's theory emphasizes finding meaning in life, even in difficult circumstances, arising from love

Module 12: Happiness

Impact bias, overestimating how future events will affect happiness (e.g, bad grade)
Purpose of happiness motivates goal-directed behaviors and helps adapt to changing circumstances
Knowledge of impact bias helps prioritize decisions based on long-term values rather than fleeting emotions
