Answer:

law of effect

Explanation:

Thorndike referred to this as the law of effect. In simple terms, Thorndike explains that if a certain stimulus/behavior has a favorable consequence, the subject will want to repeat this behavior. If it continues to have a favorable consequence then the subject will continue to repeat this behavior until it becomes a continuous pattern. The opposite applies to behaviors that have unfavorable consequences, the subject in question will associate the unfavorable consequence with the behavior and cease performing the behavior. The worse the consequence, the faster the subject will stop the behavior.

- social systems are drastically different and are dependent on your cultural background
- There are universal human wishes and things with which you can bond
- the importance of social support, and the significance of belonging to a community

These are just a couple things I learned from moving cross-culturally throughout my life.
