Lately, harold and grant cannot get along. harold often expects the worst of people, and yesterday he thought grant was angry at him. as a result, harold ignored grant's phone calls and other attempts at conversation, angering grant. but in truth, harold created the situation to which he was reacting. this is an example of:

This is an example of reciprocal determinism.

Explanation:

This term was introduced by Bandura and it centers around the idea that as much as the environment can determine behavior, behavior can determine the environment as well. In other words, one's social, cultural and personal environment and one's individual behavior are mutually causing one another.

In this case, Harold created the situation to which he was reacting by assuming Grant was mad at him and ignoring him, angering him in the process.

We can see that both Harold's environment and his behavior are mutually causing one another.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
