Conditionality principle

Hello there! Today, we are going to talk about the "conditionality principle," which basically means that something will only happen if certain conditions are met.

So, let me give you an example. Imagine that your mom tells you that you can watch your favorite TV show, but only if you finish your vegetables. The conditionality principle here is that you can only watch TV if you finish your vegetables first.

Another example is when you go to the park. Your mom might say that you can play on the swings only if you wear your helmet. That means the conditionality principle is that you can only use the swings if you wear your helmet.

In simpler terms, it means that there is a rule or requirement that you have to follow in order to get what you want. If you don't follow the rule or requirement, then you won't get what you want.

So, in summary, the conditionality principle is a fancy way of saying that you have to meet certain conditions or requirements in order to get something. It's like a little puzzle that you have to solve in order to get what you want.
