Document Summary

Learning a permanent change in behavior, cognition, and emotions as a result of experience. As a result there is a change in all those. You fall in love you are so excited and this person turn out to be an idiot, and hurt you so badly that you said i(cid:495)m done and your behaviour changes your emotion and behavior. You no longer believe in love and that is learning, when you change as a result of experience. Adaptability and flexibility we are here typing and not sitting in caves. Learning can be used to teach good stuff using peaceful methods and can also be used to teach violence and aggression and hate. When there is learning there is hope regardless, because what has been learned can be unlearned. You are not doomed to stay aggressive, through counseling and so on you can make a choice and teach yourself to behave differently.
