If psychology were to be an exact, or to use Mill's phrase, "a perfect" science, then specific human acts could be accurately pr

edicted. Would a prediction be accurate if the person about to act becomes aware of the prediction prior to the act itself? Does the fact that a prediction can be known in advance disprove the possibility of predicting accurately or is that fact just one more antecedent condition? Thoroughly explain your view.

<em>Would a prediction be accurate if the person about to act becomes aware of the prediction prior to the act itself? </em>

This is a classic problem of the deterministic approach to action. If psychology was perfect, it is likely that this would enable psychologists to predict how a person is going to act in any situation. It would also make psychologists able to predict when this act would take place. However, for such a prediction to be useful, the psychologist would have to keep this information from the subject. Otherwise, the knowledge of the prediction could potentially make the person act in a different way, rendering the prediction obsolete.

<em>Does the fact that a prediction can be known in advance disprove the possibility of predicting accurately or is that fact just one more antecedent condition? </em>

The fact that a prediction can be known in advance does disprove the possibility of predicting accurately. The moment a prediction is made, the prediction alters the state of the components that were necessary to know in order to make a prediction. Therefore, the prediction becomes obsolete as the action might or might not happen in the way that was previously predicted.

*In Chapters 8 and 9, several characters in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry react to acts of intimidation or harassment by white me
likoan [24]

Cassie decides not to give in to racism and confront the person who is being racist with her. Papa, on the other hand, decides to give in to racism if it's necessary to protect his family.

We were able to arrive at this answer because:

  • Papa has a great sense of responsibility to his family.
  • He recognizes that white people have greater influence and privileges in society and that this allows them to exploit and abuse black people.
  • He doesn't want his family to suffer any kind of aggression from whites and for that reason he decides to give in to racism, acting the way the whites want so that his family doesn't suffer.
  • Cassie, however, acts differently. That's because after she suffered racism from a classmate, she decided to confront, fight and threaten the girl, in addition to demanding that the girl apologize.

The ways in which the two characters acted show different aspects of how people react to racism. However, in both situations, racism appears as a very negative element.

Importantly, "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," tells the story of a family of black farmers who need to fight racism to maintain their land and their position in society.
