  • The audience apparently haven't responded since most of the parents are getting to spoil their children even more.

The Monster Study


  • This study was meant to see how reinforcements and punishments could affect the way the little orphans ended up talking.



  • It ended up being unethical since those who received reinforceres from the experimenter ended up talking smoothely. However, those who were punished and were told they were stutterers and scolded for every mistake they made, ended up having speech problems throughout the course of their lives.

"Doubt is the Key to Knowledge"

  • In my opinion, this persian proverb is completely true. When you get answers to all of your questions, is when you really learn. In school, there's this poster of Albert Einstein saying"there's nothing wrong with asking questions". For example history, this subject is all about asking questions and having doubts. This encourages us to research and go that extramile to get your questions answered.
  • Another example, is religion. Each culture has its own beliefs and traditions to follow. For example, I have no idea why Hindus see the cow as a sacred animal. However, this doubt is the spark that will encourage me to find out. To pursue this piece of knowledge.
  • A personal example would be the doubt i have since I was a little boy. the question: am i capable of playing college soccer? This question inspires me to give it a shot. To fight and set my obstacles to defeat and pursue my dream of being a soccer player.

Emotions Post

Happiness

This video makes me happy for the fact that little children make me laugh my butt out. They are so innocent and have no idea on what they are doing. They do all kinds of stuff and cannot get punished since they are so small and beautiful.


Sadness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glny4jSciVI&feature=fvst

This video really makes me sad because of the humanitarian effort to help the poor. The song is actually truly inspiring. But the thought of children with hunger, mothers looking desperately for their loved ones and people suffering just makes me sad.

Fear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPFQ8I04bvE

This video makes me really scared. Ever since I saw this movie i fear she will come out from under my bed and kill me for no apparent reason. Not only does it make me want to cry, but it makes me want to sleep with my parents everyday too.
