Jna 7 - Conditioning

What kind of psychological conditioning do think occurs in your life - at home, at school, with friends? For example, when you do your homework and get an A, you might do it again, etc...

At home I think my way of learning is conditional. Ive lived under a spotless home with 10 siblings..weird, but my mom loves to clean and so do her kids. We picked it up from her. I've always reached in the top cabniet for my plate not a china cabniet or a sink. The butter has alwas been on the door of the fridge at the top. So when i get oloder these are things theat ive lived with and probably will keep living with becuse its how ive grown up.At school its repetive learning. When the bell rings after so many times you learn to go to your next class. When you're assigned homework you eventually learn that you do it and return by the due date to get full credit. You also know to tlka to who talks to you. And everyday you come into school talk to the same people youve been tlaking to, get up and switch classes at teh sound of the bell and do your homework that night or somethime before the due date if you want any points. With frineds outside of school im not sure what kind that is. Most of them are pretty different with some simlare intrest. me and my frineds joke around alot and are not taken very seriously. We're pretty diffeerent though. We think of werid things to do when bored and we know when to not ppull stnuts around certain people of authority. But its repetive or conditonal. we dont keep doing the same stuff. we dont live with each other so we're not use to doing things exactly the same because its what we know. Its jsut deiffernt i guess?

I think we are conditioned in every since of the word. I can crawl out of bed and do my whole morning routine without ever really waking up. I have conditioned myself to my daily life. Another example is the school day schedule. Whenever anyone messes with it, it throws off my whole day. Like when we had that wonderful bullying assembly during A and B and we ate C, I was very confused. I went to my Academy. That's what I am conditioned to do, so that's what I did. Sadly, it made me late for Biology.

There is a lot of psychological conditioning that happens in everyones life. When change comes you have to get used to it by conditioning yourself. Such as I really don't want to do homework but I am conditioned to do my homework. Ways to condition someone or something would be to show it the negative and positive things that go along with choosing the wrong and right choices. You learn from yours and others mistakes and you can also push yourself to be conditioned.

There are litte things in life that everyone is conditioned to like if you touch the stove, your probably going to burn yourself so you kow not to do that again. but each person has their own personal conditiong in their lives. Mine, for example, is that during the school year i have a very conditioned routine which is the same every single day. I wake up at the same time usually, do my hair then my make-up then eat if i have time and get dressed and go to school. I can do all of that without even having to think twice about what im doing because i am so used to doing it. Then when i get to school i park in about the same place walk in the same door talk to all of the same people and go to the same classes in the same order, still not hving to think about what im doing or wheere im going. But during the weekends and the summer my life isnt even half as conditioned as it is during the school year. There are more of a variety of things that can occur and theres nothing mandatory that i really have to do.

I think that we are conditioned to every thing we do. Even if commit a crime, like a robbing a gas station. he majority of the time the person that committed the crime didnt think of it themselfs they seen it on a movie or seen it done before. The movies conditioned the robber so that he can know what he is doing. if the actions in your life wasnt conditioned you probably wouldnt be successful like they say practice makes perfect.

Like almost everyone else has said, I think we are conditioned in every sense. I am conditioned to do almost everything in my entire life. I have a morning routine I do every morning no matter where I am. For example, when we went on break, I didn't ever get up before nine and I ate whenever I wanted and never got to bed before 11. Now that I'm back in school my scheduale is completely screwed up. I'm not used to eat during B yet and I hate waking up so early.

we all are conditioned to do things. like everyday life like going to bed at a certain time and waking up and eating breakfast..eating lunch and dinner. every night i do my homework so when im done with all the things i have to do during the day i go home and do my homework..cause i was taught to do that by my parents so its like a ritual.

There is conditional learning everywhere. when you stand back and look at all the things that we are conditioned to learn, you wuold be amazed. we are moreover institutionalized to go to school and learn to get the ideal life that we were conditioned to have. we are taught to go to school for 12-18+ years of our lives, and then we are taught that we should live the life that our parents conditioned us to have just because our parents and the rest of society think that that would be the right thing.

i think we train our bodies and our minds to do good and when we get a's we keep doing it for most of us and its our rythems we get into which help us succeed.

Everything we do is conditioned. We eat because we were taught to. We eat when we do beacuse we were taught to. We put on clothes and make up beacuse our mothers conditioned us to do it, by telling us to or we watch them do it. Brushing our teeth, potty training, showering, it is all taught to us. None of it is instinctual. We would never be able to survive on our own because we re dependent on others to teach us.

My life is conditioned because I do the same routine and follow the same schedule almost ever day of my life. I am also conditioned in basketball. My coach praises the team when we do good things like hedge on screens, box out, run our sideline push, stay in our "triangle defense" and trap on our full court press. Since we learned that all these things are good, we repeatedly do them during practice and games. Our team benefits from all of those things which is why we became conditioned to do them. If we were not taught to do these actions, I highly doubt anyone would do them right or even do them at all.

Psychological conditioning you get at home at an early age would be like getting burned if you touch the stove, getting a spanking if you do something bad, or being rewarded for not peeing in the fireplace. When you get older, it would spread out to being stuff like getting rewarded for good grades or being punished for swearing. At school, they pretty much condition you (Or at least try to) to raise your hand before talking, teach you how to behave appropriately, and they punish you for doing something like peeing in an imaginary fireplace. With friends, you kind of get conditioned to listen to the leader of the group and they'll punish you if you mistake them for a fireplace that you can pee on.
