Donna has just moved to the city from a small town and gets a job as an assistant in a law firm. Not being very familiar with th
e way things work in the corporate world, she watches her colleagues closely and tries to learn from their mistakes and achievements. This can be described as ________.
Social learning refers to how we learn from all those around us by closely watching their behaviour. Mostly we have people we look up to as our model and we are likely to model their behaviour after studying it carefully and we may find ourselves later doing what they did exactly as they were doing it.
However the behavior that we imitate depends on whether the behavior that we observed was reinforced or punished from our model. If the behaviour we observed was reinforced which means it hard a rewarding outcome ,it is likely that we will imitate that behavior so that we can also receive such reinforcement however if the behaviour was punished it is less likely that we will imitate it.
This is why Donna is trying to look at their mistakes and achievement because she wants to learnt from their mistakes and not repeat them and imitate those behavior that led to achievements.
The main distinction between globalisation and regional integration, however, is that policy convergence is generally un-negotiated in the context of globalisation whereas it is negotiated and institutionalised in the context of deep regional integration.
