This week's assignment comprises two parts plus your classmate responses:

Part 1: Excluding physical attractiveness, discuss three variables (as explained in the text) that have been scientifically found to influence attraction. Give an example of each and support your discussion with appropriate citations and references. Your discussion length should be 200 words or more.

Part 2: By many reports it seems like we live in a self-centered, heartless society. How can we cultivate altruistic, grateful, and forgiving attitudes and behaviors in ourselves and/or others?
