This document contains two journal entries submitted by a student for a Foundation in Natural Build Environment course. The first entry summarizes a lesson on conformity, including how obedience enables conformity and both the positive and negative effects of groups. The second entry covers a lesson on attraction and close relationships, focusing on the concepts of proximity, familiarity, and similarity and how they increase liking between individuals. Key factors discussed include reciprocal liking, mere exposure through propinquity, and similarity of attitudes.

1. We just learned a new topic, conformity. This topic is far more interesting than what I expected. I never know before about this kind of things, I never even think about this kind of things, and not even interested in this kind of things before. I never know that in conformity, obedience is also included. To have a conformity, you need obedience, with obedience you will attain conformity with others. And not just that, this topic also includes our behavior in a group, like the effect when people are less likely to help when in groups than when alone, group productivity, group size, etc. When you have negative effects when in groups, you also have positive effects when you are in groups. Reduction of effort is one of the positive effects you will get when you are in groups, you will also have more ways of thinking, more opinions, more talents, more skills, etc.
2. Attraction and close relationships is latest topic that we learned, we learned about what increases liking, like proximity, familiarity and similarity. Proximity, is the distance between two individuals, their choice of relationships, etc. Familiarity, is the relationship you currently have with a certain individual, and not just that, similarity also covers other concepts. Propinquity, similarity and reciprocal liking are the three things that lie underneath the concept of familiarity. Propinquity means how often we see a certain individual, an individual that we often see, become familiar through mere exposure. Next is similarity, similarity means the similarity a certain individual have, people who are similar to us will also seemed familiar to us. Similarity of attitudes also included in this concept, pre-acquainted attitudes become more attractive. Finally Reciprocal liking, reciprocal liking means people who like each other get to know and become familiar with each other. Relationship is of course, included in this topic. Relationships in this topic viewed as a social exchange. Peoples feelings about relationships depend on the perceptions of reward and cost, etc. We all learned these things in the psychology class, we learned a lot of new things that we never knew about before and I am sure that these things will be useful in the future.
