Question

For questions 7-11, considering the age of the person involved, tell why the action is bad behavior. Also, in your opinion after reading about each of the people, how can those behaviors be changed?
7) John, seventeen, throws a rock through a neighbor’s window.
8) Mary, twelve, cheats on a math test.
9) Jim, thirty-six, speeds through a school zone.
10) Tommy, two, sticks his fingers in a cake at a birthday party.
11) Floyd, eighty-eight, wanders away from the nursing home for Alzheimer patients.

Answer 1

DISCLAMER. I AM NOT IN THIS COURSE I JUST REALLY ENJOY PSYCHOLOGY. I AM ONLY IN HIGHSCHOOL AND HAVE NO IDEA THE TYPE OF ANSWERS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
7) by the age of seventeen, john should know that that is bad behavior and can result in bad consequences. he should be billed for the damage.

8)we are taught not to cheat beginning in elementary school. she needs to be punished in order for her to realize that cheating is wrong and in the future, will result in major concequences.

9)by the age of 36, most people have been driving for numerous years and should be aware of speed limits and the fact that speeding endangers the lives of others. he probably needs to receive a ticket or have his lisence provoked before he learns his lesson.

10) tommy is only two and doesnt even know the difference between a green light and a red light. all he wants is cake and hasnt had enough time to learn that his actions are considered "socially unacceptable". he needs to be told "no" a few times before he catches on whats right and wrong.

11) it is given that floyd has alzheimers therefore probably isnt completely aware of what he is doing most of the time. he doesnt know right from wrong completely anymore. unless there is a cure for alzheimers, it will be very difficult to stop floyds behavior.
