Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

Explanation:  Thoreau was a philosopher, writer and devotee of nature. His philosophy was based on independence, freedom of mind. He felt that the government was restricting people from taking care of themselves, their needs. He was not an anarchist but believed in minimal, almost no governmental restrictions.

He considered the rule of the majority is not good, because it implied the compulsion of having to go with the group and follow the rules of the group, which was restrictive for him. The only obligation, according to Thoreau, was to follow his conscience. That way, he would only do what he thought was right, and he would be obliged to do only what was right.

The options for this question are missing. The options are:

a. behavioral

b. cognitive

c. psychodynamic

d. biological

In psychology, the behavioral perspective is a perspective which proposes that our behavior is learned as a result of our interaction with the environment. In other words, we learn from our environment how to act (based on reinforcement, punishment or by seeing other people's actions) and this learning is what determines our behavior.

In this example, Natassia believes that boys learn to be more aggressive because they are more frequently exposed to external pressures to fight. In other words, <u>Natassia believes that aggression is a behavior that boys learn from their environment through the pressure of other people</u>. Thus, this would exemplify the behavioral perspective.
