Americans have always had high expectations about their possibility for success. Though they may not have thought they would reach nirvana, 19th-century Americans believed that they would ultimately have fulfilling lives because they lived in America.
The American Dream means that anyone living in this country can rise to the level of his aspiration.
Throughout American history, Americans have believed that through hard work they could rise to the level of their aspirations.
In the 19th century, the American Dream reflected the belief that anyone in this pragmatic, un-class-conscious society of ours could, by dint of hard work, rise to the level of his aspiration.
The American Dream used to mean that people in this pragmatic society could rise to the level of their aspirations.
The American Dream seems now to not be about seizing opportunity but about realizing perfection and entering the fabulous worlds Americans see in the movies.
Americans are encouraged by what they see in Hollywood: the mere existence of movie stars proves the perfectibility of any man or woman.
Though Americans of the 1960s may have been the first generation to live within its illusions, today’s Americans certainly believe from seeing social media posts and digitally perfected images that perfection is possible in their own lives.
Though people have always wanted to be rich and famous, America is the first country to democratize dreams and allow Americans to believe in the perfectibility of any man or woman.
Anyone perusing social media today can see that Americans have come to believe in their own perfectibility.

Even though they have been doing it all their lives, people need to study communication simply because it is so complex. As stated in chapter 3 of the book, we all perceive things differently and "perception and communication influence each other, perception shapes our understanding of others' communication and the choices we make in our own communication" (pg. 41). For the reason that the choices we make and the ways that we view things/situations are changing everyday, communication between two individuals also changes and becomes more complex. Though we can communicate in general, how we communicate and what we communicate depends on how we perceive the world around us, making communication not as simple as it seems. As humans, we create broad categories of things (prototypes) and place people into them (Wood pg. 43). We then go on to create a more detailed assessment (a personal construct) where we measure a person or situation with a certain dimension of judgment (Wood pg. 43). We also place people and situations into stereotypes by making predictive generalizations or simply predicting what the personal/situation will be like or what will happen (Wood pg. 43). With all of these components to a basic path of communicating with others, it's hard to not see why we would study our complex underlying system of human communication. Not only do we make assumptions, but we base our thoughts/actions off of those assumptions which can then all be interpreted differently among various individuals. We study communication to try and dissect all of these interpretations and perceptions of others "to make sense of experience and to predict how we and others will act" (Wood pg. 45). Sometimes we follow a script or just simply act a specific way in a specific situation (like greeting someone and telling them your name) (Wood pg. 45). However, not everyone follows these scripts which just adds to the complexity of communication between us all.

Which of the following have been used by scientists to determine evolutionary relationships and divergence times between primate species or lineages?

	A.	evidence from the fossil record
	B.	behavioral observations of living primates
	C.	molecular phylogenies
	D.	all of the above
	E.	A and C are correct

Problems with interpreting information from the fossil record include:

	A.	variation within one species may be misinterpreted (e.g. as multiple species rather than one)
	B.	differential preservation results in sample fossil populations which donât reflect the size of past populations
	C.	a species sometimes has to be defined on the basis of only one fossil specimen
	D.	all of the above
	E.	none of the above; scientists donât find any problems with interpreting fossils because the evidence is always so clear and unquestionable
