Answer:

The technical name is overcorrection.

Explanation:

Overcorrection is a type of punishment applied to modify an unwanted behavior. In the case mentioned in the question, we have what is called restitutional overcorrection. The person who has performed the unwanted behavior is asked to restore things not to their original state, but to an improved state. Imagine a student draws an explicit picture on a blackboard at school. If he is asked to erase not only that board, but all the boards in the school as punishment, that is restitutional overcorrection. It is exactly what happened to the woman. She was not only asked to restore the ward, but to restore it better and cleaner than before.

5 harmful effects of poverty in one's personal health
Natali [406]
1. MALNUTRITION - People living under the poverty line rarely gets the chance to eat nutritious foods because they can't afford to buy them in the first place. The lack of nutrients intake will then expose the human body to threats, from light to severe health problems.

2. STARVATION - This is the most extreme form of malnutrition as prolonged starvation can cause permanent organ damage. It will also lead to death eventually.

3. DISEASE PRONE - People will catch diseases faster because they lack the resources to maintain a healthy living environment.

4. STRESS - Individuals are more likely to develop depression because of their current situation in life. Work overloads, lack of sleep and social isolation are some factors that heavily adds to stress.

5. FEAR - With no guaranteed social security and no guaranteed food to eat for tomorrow, it would be unavoidable to overthink. Mental health, therefore, is greatly affected too.
