Q 2. We operate with schemas in everyday life. Think of your schema for going to a restaurant, boarding an airplane, or even getting ready for work in the morning. • Describe a schema you have for some event. (Note: a schema is not the same thing as a schedule! Do the reading AND watch the videos to make sure you understand what a schema is before answering this question.) • How do we react when reality deviates from the schema?

Schemas are a part of everyday life and are a reflection of our attitudes and beliefs that we have regarding situations to put in simple words and this is also the generalized and accepted patterns of behavior or thoughts that the society accepts by the people. Like for example, in marriage, it is expected that certain code of conducts are expected and certain thoughts are encouraged, and one is expected to abide by those. It is basically a mold that is created for every action, thought, behavior, realization, changes, anything, and everything, in which we are supposed to fit in, in order to be a part of the set-up we are supposed to imitate.
