Albert Bandura first proposed observational learning theory in 1986 as the basic form of learning whereby learning occurs through imitation or observation of the behavior of others. Observational learning has been stressed by other scholars on its importance because the society especially the young generation gets to learn and acquire new responses by observing the behavior of others. Unlike the traditional learning theories, observational learning does not require reinforcement or punishment to ensure learning takes place. Instead, the learner requires a social model, who can be a teacher, a parent or someone in authority engaging in a manner that the learner desires ...

Since I was a kid, the earth and its features have been my interest. I could spend time on my atlas trying to study the location of various continents, as well as their countries. I was struggling to understand how the largest part of the earth could be covered with water, and how the earth could float in the middle of nowhere despite being too big and heavy. As I grew up, I realized that geography is more than just the earth and its features. It’s a whole more than that. Geography is essential for human survival. This is because ...

The urbanization and globalization of our lives have changed the way we look at and feel about spaces; landscaping and man's mastery of our environment has allowed us to shape it according to our will.

Introduction

A lot about who we are is due to our sensory perceptions. Our actions and inactions are determined by the information processed in our brains. This information is input through the sensory pathway. It is through this way that we connect to the physical world. Many scholars have argued that that which is not first in the senses is not in the mind. Nonetheless, the importance of sensory perceptions in shaping who we are individually does not vouch for their accuracy or inaccuracy. Sensory perceptions are not always accurate as evidenced by incorrect interpretations of the sensory data input ...
