However, George finds their collective identity a problem when he believes Cheryl will like his friends more than she likes him because they are funnier. Consequently, George tells Elaine and Jerry to be less humorous so that George can appear to be the funniest person in their group and impress Cheryl. Due to their sense of unity and loyalty, George’s request was fulfilled. The quality of group decisions is substantially affected by group norms, as each individual relies on in-group contribution rather than evidence obtained from outside sources. This is shown in Seinfeld when Kramer and George purchased a secondhand wheelchair for Kramer's girlfriend, as it was significantly cheaper than a brand new one.
Do you agree with the suggestion in Source 6 that Henry treated Wolsey more as a partner than as a servant? Many believe that Wolsey was a partner and not a servant in the eyes of Henry due to him being often depicted as an alter rex or more commonly known as the other King. However there are those who do believe that Wolsey was a servant who was just very clever at getting his way and therefore fooling people into believing that he was an alter rex. Source 6 suggests that Wolsey was more of a partner to Henry but only between the years 1515 and 1525. The reason that he was more of a partner between those years was due to him being able to please the King in any way from allowing the young King to enjoy and indulge himself in Hunting, sports and drinking whereas many of his other advisors told him to be more like his father.
The reward/need satisfaction theory suggests that people form romantic relationships because they feel they are rewarded by being with that person. The things we find rewarding tend to reflect our unmet needs, for example the need for company or financial security. Mutual attraction occurs when each partner meets the other person’s needs. One person might have the need for financial security, while another craves company. Stimuli that is rewarding produces positive feelings in us, and stimuli that is punishing produces negative feelings.
The war was crucial to Gatsby’s development as a man. His success in the war provided him with a brief period of social mobility. Not only does the war help shape who he is, but it helps him hide his real class from Daisy. The only reason he meets her is because of him being a soldier where no one could deny him in his lies of being a part of the upperclass. The war gives Gatsby an opportunity to see the world and earn money in the service.
The fact that not all thanes could be as courageous and have so many heroic achievements for their countries and rulers is why Beowulf seems so ideal and extraordinary. Beowulf's many achievements told throughout the story gives him the appearance of the most faithful of thanes, who has climbed the social ladder not because he has meant to do so, but because he wishes to protect his country and others and give all the credit to its rulers. This sort of behavior gives him a kind and generous nature that can be traced to a kind of chivalry. Chivalry can also be considered a very important role in the creation of a thane's reputation and popularity. Through Beowulf's chivalry, generosity, friendship, and popularity, all of his kingdom and of others knew him for his heroism and loyalty.
Many similarities can be drawn between the relationships of Gilman and her first husband, Charles Walter Stetson, and the narrator and her husband, John. Gilman and her first husband Charles had a difficult relationship due to the fact that they had a “crucial diversity in ideas of marriage and the domestic roles.”(Hsieh) Her real life situation with her husband Charles is similar to that of the narrator and her husband because they also had differing views on many things. For example, while her husband believes resting and not thinking is the best for
The man’s sacrifices instilled a lot of confidence in the boy. Friendship requires sacrifices and compromises because the natural bonds of friendship can never be broken apart by distance or circumstances. Fate actually keeps them together. Throughout the novel, the man
With this, it creates a special bond between these men. Men who act more mature and humane, unlike most of the residents of Alexandria, But when Coach Boone and Coach Yoast prove that the Titans are a winning team, the issue of race is erased and the true meaning of teamwork is born.

But in the end they developed an amazing friendship built on trust and respect. They learnt to appreciate the meaning of trusting a man’s soul rather than their color.

The narrator does seem to enjoy the warmth of the small town of Satipur and enjoyed being with all those widows who were so gay and friendly. There is a sense of belonging portrays in the narrator as she “no longer change into a nightie but sleep like an Indian woman, in a sari”.
"Although speakers expected their spouse to understand them better than strangers, accuracy rates for spouses and strangers were statistically identical. This result is striking because speakers were more confident that they were understood by their spouse," as said in a study by, author Kenneth Savtsky.
