hello, im soula katerina . im from greece. im a student in a university in computing. thing is we need to take  some extra courses on pedagogic . i chose  pedagogic techniques what specifically i have to find information is about behaviour...

let me colaborate... im analysing a senario where children play a game a non competitional game  to see what they have learnt .During the game they evolve the game by themselves intruducing the aspect of competition between them. we alter the rules to make them co-operate to successed the completion of the game. They adjust .

Children as all humans tend to adjust to there environments even if that is subconsiounsly in the case of children because they have to self-awareness.
The game was applied on children ages 4-5.


All i want to know is if anyone knows of any theorists in phycology that speak about how its in the humans nature to adjust to its new environmental conditions and the whole adding competions aspect from a psycological view..  I dont no anything in phycology..

I apologise in front if i post it in the wrong section but i dont know how to continue my analysis.

Sounds like social darwinism to me.  Not sure if it's a real theory or w/e but a teacher told me about it in high school.

Social Darwinism is a real theory/practice.  You hear of the proverbial war between "nerds" and "jocks:" that is Social Darwinism in theory and practice.  Each has a social standing that is sullied by the other.  The basic tenet is to "strike hard and low."

Yes it is.  Those kids weren't born jock or nerd though either.  It's like at one point growing up a kid has to chose a faction to align himself with.  And with that faction comes all the prior rules and traditions and battles that have been developed by the rest of the faction before them.
