I Badly need your help pls

Write agree or disagree with the statement. And write a short explanation
1. In attempting to understand human beings, one should stick to what can be directly observed and avoid theory or concepts that cannot be seen or observed.

2. Events taking place in the present are systematically linked to events that have occurred in one’s past.
3. A specific piece of human behavior cannot be understood without considering the person and his or her life as a whole.


4. People are basically good (as opposed to evil or neutral). If left to a natural state without external controls, they will seek health and personal growth while respecting the rights of others to do the same.

5. A person’s character is largely determined before he or she reaches adulthood. The only real changes that one can expect from an adult are relatively small ones, and these occur slowly over long periods of time.

6. General laws of behavior and experience that apply to all people are not very helpful if you want to understand a particular individual.

7. Much of behavior, both conscious and unconscious, is directed by unconscious impulses and motivations.


8. Aggression is an inherent and inescapable part of human nature.

9. People are capable of making major and lasting changes in themselves within a relatively brief period of time.



10. Human behavior can be understood as a continuous attempt to increase pleasure and avoid pain and discomfort.

1. Disagree, You cannot make assumptions of a person based on external appearances whether it be emotional or physical. Acknowledging the deeper roots of humanity will help create a better understanding.

2. Agree, Past events help shape a person into who they are today. This changes someone’s decision making and reactions, thus changing present events.

3. Agree, A persons pass can affect their behavior. Even though you may not know the extent of their life, we must take into consideration the fact that there might be something going on in their life.

4. Agree, People are born with innocence, looking for basic happiness and survival. Some people do not have the ability or resources to control natural growth, changing the way they act. There are evil people, but we do not start out that way.

5. Agree, Childhood-adolescence is the most active development of the brain. Once the brain matures and starts developing, it is more difficult to make drastic change to oneself. That is why during childhood abuse, without the right support, it can completely change a person.

6. Disagree, You cannot stick a label/law to a person and expect them to fit into that category.

7. Disagree, I believe that very few of our decisions are based off impulse. Humans are naturally active thinkers, forcing us to contemplate on our decisions. There are exceptions based on an individuals mental status and impulse control.

8. Agree, Aggression is rooted in our genetics and basic human emotions. It is purely based off self-control whether or not someone acts on these feelings.

9. Disagree, Making significant change takes a span of months or even years to see a difference, Quick change is often external and forced instead of internal and natural.

10. Agree, Naturally humans seek for self-benefit as almost a survival instinct. This results in impulsive and selfish decisions. As we mature, we learn to control this behavior.

Hope this helped <3
