Most important concept (final)

The most important concept I believe to have learned this year in Global was that of Meta-cognition, the act of thinking bout what you thing about. This concept I use very often, An example would be, during the time when we studied trails, we saw a girl, Casey Anthony, who was a  compulsive liar and ended up killing her daughter and disposing of her remains in a park. That was very hard to watch but the harder part was that her mother helped her get away with her lies and I wanted to understand why it was that the mother did that. I used the concept of Meta-cognition when thinking about what it was the mother was thinking when she acted with her daughter. I could not fully understand why and decided that the only reasonable explanation was that, the mother wanted to keep her daughter with her and happy. She did not want her daughter, Casey, to dislike her. Meta-cognition, I believe to be the most important subject I learned in Global.
