A major social problem that arises when an individual sets their romantic expectations and standards too high for decent people, who the individual likes, to be able to achieve. Normally it is fine to have some standards, but when descent people are unable to fulfill those expectations because of the large number of them and or because the expectations require extremely large amounts money and resources, require the individual to be in perfect physical shape that most people are not able to achieve, and or require the individual to be skilled at doing things that most people don’t know how to do that well, then the individual's expectations may be set too high. This is highly unethical to do, because extremely high standards tend to be very unreasonable and can prevent decent people from being able to get into a romantic relationship due to factors far beyond control.
Annabeth: Why is Emma so upset?
Lauren: She was in a relationship with a Johnny, but he dumped her because she supposedly didn't fulfill his expectations. The thing was his expectations were very unreasonable to begin with. He expects his partner to have flat abs, not to talk to other boys at all, and spend most of her time with him.
Annabeth: He sounds very inconsiderate. I am sure she will find someone better than him who knows how to treat their partner with respect. It sounds like Emma is another victim of the High Romantic Standards Dilemma.
Lauren: Agreed.

An approach where an individual makes up and or exaggerates stories to try to conceal what really happened at specific events and or to try to glorify themselves, in order to portray the situation in a way that works in their favor. People often do this to improve their reputation, attack their enemies, and push people to support their goals. This approach is often unethical as it falsely portrays what happened at certain events and who you really are. It is also quite risky to the individual using this approach, because if people find out what really happened, they will stop believing the stories told by the individual, which reduces their credibility and trustworthiness.
Ventis: I heard that Donny supposed got attacked by five guys, but defeated them all without suffering a scratch.
Henry: Yeah right. A guy with no self defense training and a boat load of arrogance at all defeated five guys without suffering any injuries. He is lying through his teeth.
Emma: Based on what I know about him there is no way in ninety years he could pull that off. He is playing an illusionist’s game, in order to improve his reputation.
Henry: I agree with you there.
Ventis: I agree with both of you. He can't be trusted to tell the truth about what really happened.

Abbreviated: R.B.I.; An approach to investing where an individual offers to invest, or donate, money, resources, and or provide information to a business or organization, but before the organization can get anything from the investor, they are given some objectives by the potential investor who expects them to make significant progress towards completing them and or complete some of them by a certain point in time before they are willing to invest or donate in their organization or business

An approach used by individuals who have very strong political beliefs for forming and maintaining their social circles. Basically, an individual will only be friends with people who are the same political identity and beliefs as them. The same holds true often times when they are deciding whether or not to date a particular person. This approach often causes the people who use to have a very strong political favoritism towards a specific political party and or political ideology. In some cases, they develop a strong intolerance for other political ideologies and parties, which sometimes can lead to unnecessary violence towards other individuals and societal groups who they perceive as having a different political ideology then their own.
Kelsey: Am I the only one that think its odd that all of Chuck's friends are Republicans?
Anna: Yes, I noticed that too. Its kind of strange if you ask me.
Emily: He is probably using the Political Alignment Association Approach when dealing with his social circle, because I know he is a very far right Republican and he does not seem to like me due to the fact I support feminism.
Anna: You should be careful Kelsey. If Chuck finds out you're a Democrat, he may start a yelling match or worse. He has had a history of violence in the past.
Kelsey: I'll keep that in mind.

The extent to which an individual is aware of what is happening in the government and society, as well as what various politicians, organizations, businesses, and political parties’ agendas, beliefs, and actions are on numerous policy issues. This includes being aware of the activities of various social movements looking to reform society. It is important to remember being aware of the beliefs and activities of only one political party means an individual’s political consciousness is limited at best because in order to fully understand what is going on politically, you must have descent understanding of multiple political parties so you can see the issue from multiple angles, allowing you to see the situation more clearly without being manipulated too much by any one party. Usually, the more someone is aware of what is happening with multiple political parties, the stronger their political consciousness is.
Roderigo is aware of what is happening with the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the Libertarian Party, and the Green Rainbow Party. Samantha is only aware of what the Republican Party is up to. Roderigo has a strong political consciousness, while Samantha has limited political consciousness.
