Use the image to answer the question.
Which of the following is not an advisable way through which the orientation of the boy wearing short pants in the cartoon, in the image can be corrected?
-
Subjecting him to harsh punitive measures.
- Impacting an effective Civic Education in him.
- He needs morally upright and responsible parenting.
- An effective guidance and counselling section.
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
In the cartoon, one boy mentions his belief that there is a reward for every good deed. Another boy asks if he was rewarded for his good deed. The first boy responds that his reward is a compliment, which he sees as a form of recognition. The second boy then questions the nature of the reward, suggesting it is only valuable if it can be spent for oneself.
The boy in the short pants seems to have a skewed understanding of rewards and good deeds, viewing rewards in a materialistic and self-serving manner.
To correct this orientation, it is not advisable to subject him to punitive measures because it can lead to resentment, fear and further misunderstandings about the nature of good deeds and rewards.
