PSYCHOLOGY HELP

This is a case of "negative reinforcement". The term was created by B.F. Skinner, and it is about not doing something in order to avoid suffering or pain (physical or psychological). A good example of negative reinforcement can be seen in the movie "A Clockwork Orange", directed by Stanley Kubrick. The main character goes to a correctional facility where he's forced to watch violent movies while experiencing an unimaginable sensation of nausea. The goal of the institution was to turn him into a non-violent individual by conditioning his brain to associate violence with feeling sick to his stomach. In fact, after such experiment he wasn't even able to enjoy Beethoven's music anymore, since it was played throughout the whole "therapeutic" movie sessions. In Herbie's case, he could no longer eat his daily chocolate chip cookies, since he didn't want to get nauseated again. It doesn't mean he would necessarily feel that way if he actually had the cookies, but he refused to eat them anyway, since he'd already been negatively reinforced not to eat them.

How and why do ethical dilemmas challenge and develop our identity?
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Ethical dilemmas challenge and develop our identity by showing what lengths we as humans are willing to go through to do the right thing, it shows how loyal and persistent we are. It shows each person's personality and grit as they choose different responses.

Ethical dilemmas are something that requires a lot of thinking, high risks, and is something where you can easily do the wrong thing but you choose not to, those are the times you see the true person. To find someone's identity and watch as their identity grows you have to put them in situations where their identity does grow, if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.

There's a quote by Stephen Fry that says, "You are who you are when nobody's watching.”

That is when your true identity comes out, when you choose the right or wrong thing and nobody will ever know about it.
