Conceptualise Topic: (What did we learn; what is the essential idea?)

We learnt that personality changes can be caused by something such as sadness, and can be as simple to initiate as ripping a nametag.
Appreciate Topic: (How is this topic important for life; why should we learn about it?)
This topic is important so we can understand that there will be various transformations to your personality throughout your life that can be simply initiated (e.g. ripping a
nametag)
