The teacher who was supposed to take us for 3hour lectures today wasn't feeling well, so she decided to postpone the lectures for over a period of 2days. -.-zz Howww nice of her. Next Friday we were scheduled not to have any lessons, but there's THIS lecture- which I'll most probably skip. And then again, this module is rather important. Aah, shall decide when the day comes.
So what did my subgroup do for the first hour of postponed lecture? Having alot of 'fun' confusing ourselves with theories and concepts of SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY. This subject I tell you, is veryveryveryveryveryveryVERY confusing. Hahahaha. But I like it so much 'cos it's very mind intriguing, very thought provoking. (So maybe this is where I should put my 'think-too-much to good use eh? Hahaha.)
Somethings which are common sense are sometimes, most of the time in fact, contradicting. Abscense makes the heart grow fonder vs Out sight, out of mind Too many cooks spoil the soup vs Two heads are better than one
And for certain things like: To alter the way people act, they first need to change their hearts and minds. True or false? Most of us would have answered true. Like what we always hear in sermons, they way we think determines the way we feel determines the way we act. But psychologically, things can be reversed. What?? You mean the way we act can actually change the way we think and feel???
Okay so here's the example given. In the olden days arranged marriages were very common. So a couple has no choice but to marry someone they may, or usually, may not like. But what to do? The wife still has to take care of the husband right? (How unfair. LOL) So from here, as she knows more about him and take care of him more throughout the days, weeks, months and years, she will eventually grow to love him. (Weird? I think so. Hahaha) So this explains the way we act can actually change the way we think and feel. (:
Am I boring you guys out with this? I've got nothing else to write anyway.
