  1. okay, so now that we have watched the videos we
  2. can kind of talk about them so we can see
  3. in the case of Gilmore girls that Lorelei needs um
  4. money to pay for her daughter's tuition, she doesn't want
  5. her daughter to know that her parents are paying for
  6. it. Um This is kind of the reward that Lorelei
  7. is going to get by coming to her parents and
  8. taking money from them and Emily and Richard that is
  9. Lorelai's parents, they um the reward that they're going to
  10. get is to get to develop a relationship with her
  11. daughter and granddaughter with a weekly phone call and a
  12. weekly dinner.
  13. And so um Emily Lorelai's mother does seem to know,
  14. she seems to be aware that she can use this
  15. situation of paying for Roy's tuition at Chilton to her
  16. advantage so that she can gain um something herself out
  17. of this.
  18. And um this is an example of a situation where
  19. both Lorelai and her parents are going to be getting
  20. something out of this exchange and so they decided to
  21. go ahead and go through with it.
  22. Now, in Rapunzel's case, she chooses to trust Flynn writer
  23. in order for her to be able to go see
  24. the lanterns.
  25. And Flynn writer chooses to risk being caught when he
  26. takes her pencil to see the lanterns um because he
  27. is a fugitive, he he chooses to risk that in
  28. order to be able to get his satchel back.
  29. Now, these are some pretty cut and dry examples as
  30. we often find in movies and tv shows um but
  31. it is important to keep in mind that oftentimes um
  32. in relationships that we have the rewards and the cost
  33. and this whole process might be a little bit more
  34. settled. Um Now lastly we we can kind of see
  35. that social exchange theory is somewhat based on selfishness and
  36. selfish motives, but we can use this theory to become
  37. more aware of our own selfish behaviors and attempts to
  38. act in more selfless, in christ like ways.
  39. And this will help us to improve our relationships.
  40. Um, and that is all.
  41. Thank you so much for watching.
  42. We hope that you learned something from this video, and
  43. we look forward to seeing your comments.
  44. So thank you again.
