Reason is the means in which rational beings propose specific explanations of cause and effect; with mental faculty that generates conclusions from assumptions or premises. To reason as an abstract noun, is a consideration which explains or justifies motives or causes, even though faith. That which is unique and definitive about being human is the way in which non-humans (animals) appear to make decisions; also, with decisions based upon emotion, intuition, authority, superstition, and faith. It is also a faculty transcending the understanding and providing a priori principles with intuition. Some people use reason to express in logical and/or argumentative form by way of persuasion.…
An excuse is an explanation for why something is the way it is. This almost always involves putting the blame on someone or something that is not involved in the situation. Whereas a reason is an explanation for why something is the way it is, with everyone involved taking accountability for what they contributed to the situation. The big difference between the two is the word accountability. Accountability is being able to take responsibility for your own actions. An example of an excuse as to why somethings failed would be that the landlord was completely unreasonable. If the person where to take accountability instead of making as excuse that would look something like we didn’t sit down and negotiate a good lease. For every excuse that you…

The 6 defense mechanism are repression: in psychoanalytic theory, the basic defense mechanism that banishes anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories from consciousness an example is. Regression: psychoanalytic defense mechanism in which an individual faced with anxiety retreats to an earlier stage of development an example is a face with a mild stressor on it. Reaction formation: psychoanalytic defense mechanism by which the ego unconsciously switches unacceptable impulses into their opposites.

The fundamental concept of the theory of social exchange is cost and rewards. This means that cost and reward comparisons drive human decisions and behavior. Costs are the negative consequences of a decision, such as time, money and energy. Rewards are the positive results of social exchanges. Therefore, the generally accepted idea is that people will subtract the costs from the rewards in order to calculate value. For example, a person asks an acquaintance to help them move, but they only slightly know each other. The acquaintenance will assess their relationship history, the state of their relationship and the potential benefits. If the acquaintenance doesn’t feel close to the person and doesn’t plan on pursuing a social relationship, they may decline. However, if the person promises certain favors, such as helping out the acquaintance with a difficult problem, they may…

Or at least that is how people typically look at that. Some how people are more interested in doing something for someone else only if there is something in it for the helper. Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours sort of strategy. One example, this principle is used frequently in the work setting all the time. If Cindy, a college professor of biology was to call in sick to her work, she would try to call another one of her colleague's let's says Samantha who was also a biology professor to ask if she could sub for her class in the afternoon. Samantha can choose to take up the offer in exchange for a favor or help in the future with one of her classes. People are willing to help more if they have a reward for their help in the future. I am guilty of doing this as…

Reverend Hale is very rational because he starts thinking about the whole which suration and how highly respected people and highly religious people are geting hung for whichcraft.It dosent make sense and he knew they were incenit. So he quit the court and tried to get the people accused to confess because that would save there live.I am rational in a way when it comes to looking at cheap things or fake things.I was looking at this car for $1000 when normally they are $4000. The listing said the only thing wrong with it was that it had a blown head gasket. Which anyone could replace in a weekend.The more i looked at the car the more things were off, the car was crashed the alignment was off and the hood popped out on the right side with a small dent and there was a dent in the back. So i used reason to find that. I am also rational because at my old job my manager would tell me to do things that were not in my job description and i would tell her no because i'm not supposed to do those things. I used rationally to draw a line on what i can do and can't do according to…
