Capstone: Day 3

       Yesterday, I went to my mentor later than I should have since I had difficulties commuting there. Turns out, my situation actually helped the session. We were able to use my situation as an example of why people behave the way they act. This got us into the conversation about behavior. There are two things that dictate behavior: enforcers and punishers. In addition to those two factors, there are principles that deal with behavior. People usually think that people's thoughts dictate what they do. Today I learned that that assumption is not entirely true. Just because someone has a thought, it doesn't mean that they will necessarily act upon it. There is always an underlying reason of why people do the way they do, even if they know that they shouldn't be doing it.
