The complex relation between emotions and social norms is quite complex because the social norms take priority over emotions. Mr Pickle and Godfrey even though they cant stand each other they still take the time to do polite gestures like help each other with their coats and boots when they are going to begin their duel. The social norms seem like they have been established for a while and honor seems to be the only ideology that is followed through. Social norms take priority over anything it seems because even though something tragic were to occur it would be somewhat required for people back in this time period to act maturely and show respect towards others.

Although all the learning goals are important, the two that are mainly important to me and my personal goals, are the goals of Knowledge: Depth and Breadth and Communication. As an elementary teacher, my goal is to be the best possible teacher I can be, and to be confident in myself to teach my students. Because of this, the learning goal of Knowledge: Depth and Breadth, is immensely important to me on account that the goal focuses on a student being able to master the knowledge in their major.

The cognitive level of analysis aims to study how the inner processes of the mind processes information gained, and how they are interpreted and applied into the real world. Within this level of analysis, it was found that the cognitive and biological factors of our mind influence how we feel, or in other words, our emotions. Emotion can be defined as the body’s response to any specific situation. As all human beings can express how they feel through facial expressions, this suggests that emotions are biological rather than cognitive. However, emotions can be dependent on both the cognitive and biological factors of our body.
Autonomy is a critical psychological need. It denotes the experience of volition and self-direction in thought, feeling, and action. People feel autonomous when their goals and behaviors are aligned with their innermost desires, interests, and ideas; when their actions are endorsed at the highest level of self-reflection (Legault, Ray, Hudgins, Pelosi, & Shannon, 2016). Thus, rather than feeling pressured, those who feel autonomous are motivated by personal values and interests. Instead of perceiving their self-worth as contingent upon social approval and meeting expectations, autonomously functioning individuals feel free to express who they really are (Legault et al., 2016).
M2D1 The type of attraction that the wife had for the Canadian couple was social attraction. I think she was socially attracted to them because they were all teachers and had a lot in common because of their jobs. This being said, I feel that the two couple’s had to have had some kind of physical attraction to each other at first to have begun talking. “Moreover, research suggests that early on in a relationship, we are more likely to expose ourselves to and be influenced by a source we perceive as physically attractive” (Wrench, McCroskey, & Richmond, 2008, pg. 35).
Your goals should be: • Specific : Each goal should be described as specifically as possible. Use as much detail as you can. • Measurable: Each goal should be measurable; that is, you should have a “measuring stick” that helps you know when the goal has been reached.
Emotional intelligence is an important factor which influences an individual success in their life (Ishak, Chiu, Rahim, Mahat, Hashim, Mutalib and Jdaitawi, 2013). “Intellectual intelligence contributes only 20% to one’s success while the remaining 80% of a person’s success in life is contributed by emotional and social intelligence” (Goleman, 1997). Yusof and Yaacob (2012) had mentioned that in their study that “Emotional intelligence is one of the main aspects of the National Education Philosophy”. Through the National Education Philosophy the important for emotional intelligence is extremely obvious and essential as intellectual intelligence and spiritual intelligence.
