Chatper 7*

The first thing i found interesting was observational learning. More specifically the monkey experiment. This is really amazing to me how monkey, and other animals can be trained or, manipulated to do things. Even though the monkeys pictures are the same but in different spots on the screen, the monkey figures it out to get a banana. Just like people watching others do something and then trying for them self. Like watching are parents do things, and then later doing the same thing exactly the same, I find it quite interesting.

Another thing i find interesting is the antisocial effect. I think this is a big problem now a days. I watched people die on TV, and kids get abducted, it was kinda scary because i really didn't understand that it was just TV. Also i played Grand Theft Auto, it was a cool game but you learn about being a "gangsta" and killing people, fighting and such. Its not all bad i mean it makes the world that much more real but, what if kids think the new movie 2012 is real and start asking their parents if they can get on the government ships? If i was 6 or 8 i wouldn't know what to think. I thought about that quite a bit actually.

Finally what i found the ability to be conditioned amazing. Like i said before i am extremely condition to my cell phone while doing this blog my phone went off 18 times, not once did i not check it the moment it made noise. We don't even realize that we are till we learn about things like this. very interesting.
