EXPLORATIONS. How we interact with each other matters. Researchers found that receiving compliments can cause people to perform better. Read about one such experiment at this link: ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/science-explains- why-compliments-feel-so-good-243457 Design your own experiment with family members or people you know to test the effects of receiving compliments. Use that study as inspiration, but do not replicate it. Be sure to include a control and experimental condition. The larger your sample size, the more reliable your results, so try to include several people in your experiment. Based on your results, what were the effects of receiving compliments? How might you change your interactions as a result? Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder? Mathematics would argue no, saying that phi is the beauty indicator that shows up in our interactions with nature and humans.

How do the things you consider beautiful align with the mathematics of the Golden Ratio? What unique creation can you make that displays math’s definition of beauty? How have your thoughts changed regarding the question: Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder? “I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness.” – ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ When people think about human interactions, very few pay attention to social isolation and loneliness. Imagine a friend or loved one writing the quote. Write a letter to him/her addressing loneliness and offer support. While you are composing your letter, consider the following questions: • How do you explain the importance of social interactions? • Does the person find comfort in his/her loneliness? • How will the person feel about receiving the letter? • What resources can you provide? If you know someone personally who is experiencing loneliness, share the letter with him/her.
