Human behaviour is influence by countless environmental factors. Most of these factors we don’t even realise. But Jonah Berger …

  1. This only happens to me when its raining a bit on the street and I see people with closed umbrellas and that makes me wonder if I should open it or not ad most times I never do even if I dont want to get wet.
    Have you guys experience something like that.

  2. greatest influence/carrot: pattern recognition/extract value/purpose of sentience. it all points to moulding order, the problem lies choosing which tactic. most subtle, most effective, most ethical without losing effectiveness. "what if the soul is not something you're born w but something one must attain"? -mtsar

  3. During mental development how could influences or experiments be considered humane or healthy or lawful without compensation especially if they effect or impact your life in a negative way.

  4. Here it comes finally. The cockroaches fight againt the human. Numberless of cockroaches are out there. The decision must have been it obviously from the first for someone to some extent.

  5. Cockroaches that have had their lives in the easy path and all of a sudden they get lost. Same as human. Same phenomenon occurs to both one way or the other. It is just first or last. Cockroaches can not find out their way back home to the spot like where the path is just bent and human can.

  6. Cockroaches are so hard to resist by the study shown in the past. Maybe they do not give up so easily. Need lots of care to them like overprotection or something. Spoiled by another word of expression. And cockroaches are way greater than human being to some extent.

  7. @kaizenyy:How to stop dimming my shine and be me because I felt like imm not living for my self and I want to stop conforming@kaizenyy:I have no desire in things so I don't know what to pick for subjects… Its hard I don't know what I want or need or like or enjoy yet@kaizenyy:I'm scared I'm subconsciouslh choosing things and conforming… But I don't want to how do I know?

  8. This is why us religion is not healthy. Because it prevents us from seeing and learning the true meaning of our Bibles without somebody else trying to influence us or interpretate it for us. We are so impatient that we don't want to wait for an answer from God, So we go to others.

  9. I would have declined ordering dessert because I'd be selfish to make everyone else wait for me to eat mine. So I guess if I ordered it anyway that would make me a self-actualized, authentic person?

  10. I'm sorry but I purposely go out of my way not to go with the crowd in many circumstances. Maybe not 100% of the time but I have no qualms going my own way. I'm very anti social 😆

  11. I suppose this is the reason why I am always a loner. I dont care about others influence, therefor – becoming an outcast by rejecting this influence and acting how I want to

  12. It can be maddening though, when you witness this happen, while you can clearly see otherwise, like the example of the Lines. I think this tendency is because people value belonging or at least fitting in over being right or strong. This may be why those who were shunned, bullied and ostracised from a group, tend to become successful since they are alone anyway, and all they have is their goals and decisions. Same goes for those in a healthy environment with supportive people around them.

  13. People with bad influencial abilities suffer their whole life, even if they know someone is influencing them to manipulate them he can't do anything about it.

  14. I might know a thing or two about a bad influence. By now, I've seen my ex-colleague's true colors, and I therefore quit working with her. For context, she had us take a young worker to her office for a few mistakes he's made. But looking back, I don't think they were that big a deal; she just made them out to be, and I stupidly believed her. I didn't understand my fault until he got into a near-fataI accident. But my ex-colleague told me that while she is very happy our worker survived and regrets his severe injury, it doesn't change how she feels about his mistakes. That no matter what happens to the guy, what he did would always be wrong and what we did would always be right. Well, I'm not listening to her this time. Now technically, she herself didn't lecture him at the time, not even when I asked her if there anything she wanted to add. Still, she didn't have to have us take him to her office. She could've told me we (or I) shouldn't make it so formal and reprimanding. That he deserved some sensitivity and respect and probably didn't mean to mess up. Sometimes it doesn't matter who does what or even comes up with the idea; going along with it can be just as bad. That's one way I went wrong. I could've talked some sense into her, or vice-versa. Either way, we were both wrong. Of course, she disagreed and said he deserved the lecture the way he got it, even while not deserving his near-death, which she said couldn't possibly change his "At-fault position." You know, if she was truly distraught and concerned about him, she would realize how we wronged him. That's like common sense when a flawed person goes or almost goes. You think about how you could've been more patient with them. If my ex-colleague can't, then she isn't full of enough cares and sorrow. Yes, l do believe she cares for the guy, especially after what he went through, but I guess not as much as she could. I think I would say she was a "bad influence" on me that day. Well, I can't work with a woman who doesn't own her mistake and thinks our injured worker was all in the wrong. Meanwhile, I need to apologize to him.

  15. I've noticed that my friend has been hanging out with a bad company lately, and it's really concerning. They seem to be getting involved in risky behavior and making poor choices. I've tried talking to my friend about it, but they don't seem to listen. How can I help them understand that the company they keep can have a significant impact on their life?

  16. So this is why my bevahior has changed its because of my classmates they shaped my behavior so I can fit in since they are toxic and gossipers I turned into like a rude person and my attitude to my parents was also rude huh but I changed now when I saw this video I learned that I should be my own person and now copy others just to fit in!!

  17. Which almost decides our fate. I got my own quote "You can't change sitation easily, but situation can change you easily." When i'm at home, i'm distracted. And my mum says you gotta learn to resist all these. And i told her, no. I wanna use my energy on useful things, instead wasting them to resist these nonsense arguements.
