Social learning theory was developed by Albert Bandura as a way to understand the influence individuals and their environments have on each other (Ashford and LeCroy‚ 2009). Bandura proposed the idea of observational learning‚ or that an individual learns whenever he/she watches another person perform a behavior and then imitates that behavior (Ashford and LeCroy‚ 2009). Learning‚ then‚ is essentially a cycle of observing and modeling. In one of Bandura’s more famous experiments known as the ‘Bobo

Great minds such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking have substantially improved the way we live today with what they have accomplished. Einstein’s theory of relativity is seen in many aspects of our life‚ such as GPS systems and generators. By being radical and doing things others have never tried‚ they make major discoveries that have changed our world significantly. People’s differences and interests lead to new developments which are being made every day. However‚ when a population is suppressed
