Essay Quiz


1		As you walk into the cafeteria, you notice two of your friends arguing about teaching morality in high school. They are having a heated debate about the pros and cons of teaching moral behavior. They also start to argue about whether adolescents should be "dragged" to religious services by their parents or should, instead, be left to develop their own identity, as Erikson predicts they are likely to do. What can you tell them about these issues?



2		Your favorite aunt and uncle have come to you because they say they cannot understand their teenage daughter. One minute she's loving and adoring, the next she's a total monster. They try to comfort her when she's upset, but she screams, "You can’t possibly understand how I feel"; if she is having a "bad hair day," she refuses to go out in public, even to accompany them to religious services. How would you explain these behaviors to your aunt and uncle, and what would you suggest for helping them work with their daughter?
