We cannot unlock our child from the closet because if we do, she will want to roam the house. If we let her roam the house, she

will want to roam the neighborhood. If she roams the neighborhood, she will get picked up by a stranger in a van, who will sell her in a sex slavery ring in some other country. Therefore, we should keep her locked up in the closet.
Explanation: In this example, it starts out with reasonable effects to the causes. For example, yes, if the child is allowed to go free in her room, she would most likely want to roam the house -- 95% probability estimate[1]. Sure, if she roams the house, she will probably want the freedom of going outside, but not necessarily "roaming the neighborhood", but let’s give that a probability of say 10%. Now we start to get very improbable. The chances of her getting picked up by a stranger (.05%) in a van (35%) to sell her into sex slavery (.07%) in another country (40%) is next to nothing when you do all the math:

.95 x .10 x .0005 x .35 x .0007 x .4 = about 1 in 25,000,000.

Morality and legality aside, is it really worth it to keep a child locked in a closet based on those odds?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Even if you, as a parent, can actually leave morality and legality aside - which is pretty difficult, if not impossible - your decision of keeping the child locked, in order to protect her from something very unlikely, will only lead to very negative behaviour of the child that will be much more likely.

_____ is defined as the thoughts and behaviors used to manage the internal and external demands of situations that are appraised
____ [38]

For more than three decades, social science research has focused on coping, which is defined as the thoughts and behaviors used to handle the internal and external demands of situations that are seen as stressful.

What are the 4 types of coping mechanisms?

Weiten has distinguished four categories of coping mechanisms: Adaptive cognitive, adaptive behavioral, problem-focused, emotion-focused, and occupation-focused coping strategies

What is problem based coping?

To manage stressful events and change a problematic person-environment interaction in order to reduce or eliminate the sources of stress through personal behavior is problem-focused coping.

What are emotional coping skills?

Regulating negative emotional responses to stress, such as worry, fear, grief, and anger, is the goal of emotion-focused coping. When a stressor is something you are powerless to change, this method of coping may be helpful. Most people believe that using coping techniques that are solution-focused is the most effective method to handle stress.

suppose a state believes that it does not have to obey a federal law, because the law exceeds the national government's authorit
Burka [1]

The belief of nullification is illustrated when a state believes that it does not have to obey a federal law because the law exceeds the national government's authority.

<h3>What is a nullification?</h3>

It means the theory that holds that the state has the right to nullify or invalidate any federal laws which that state has deemed unconstitutional with respect to the United States Constitution.

Hence, this belief is also illustrated when a state believes that it does not have to obey a federal law because the law exceeds the national government's authority.
