My father attended Alcoholics Anonymous while in the facility and was later sentenced to mandatory meetings when he was released. This was a glimmer of hope for me as a young child, but watching it play out was puzzling to me. Though he was promised rehabilitation during his sentence, he was never actually rehabilitated. He, like many other convicts that are just longing to be free again, only attend meetings and therapy sessions because they are mandatory- it’s one step closer to their beloved freedom.

the SAT, Situational Action Theory, “defines crime as acts that break rules of conduct stated in law and analyzes crime as moral actions.” The SAT alleges that people that commit crimes do so because “they come to see and choose (habitually or deliberately) an act of crime as an action alternative.” (Wikstrom and Treiber.1235) SAT mainly argues how social factors influence people’s crime involvement as “causes of the causes” (Wikstrom and Treiber.1236)

A person’s living situation can play a huge role in crimes as well. The environment around the person can determine why they chose to commit these crimes.

the author

The standardized tests simply apply more pressure to already stressed out students. This is causation for poor scores because time and time again psychologists have correlated greater levels of stress with inferior scores. If the tests are smearing stress onto students already braving high anxiety levels, how can they accurately demonstrate their academic abilities? The stress can also cause misdemeanors such as cheating, which instantly threatens the idea of standardized testing in general. If the entirety of these tests are to demonstrate a student’s ability, cheating instantly retracts all chances of accurately representing it. The tests can also cause students to act out of their normal behavioral patterns simply because they know the importance of scoring well on them. In the article, the author dives into how the testing affects the behavior of students and the detrimental effects the testing can cause. It states, “Many people will pay doctors about 1000 dollars to receive a diagnosis of ADHD or anxiety allowing them to receive extra time for the test. Another form of cheating that is big with students is buying performance drugs like Adderall to help them concentrate. Like athletes using steroids to advance their physical strength, Adderall is used to help a person’s mental strength” (Buzzfeed). In sports, athletes are strictly prohibited to use steroids and there is a great deal of attention placed on keeping them steroid-free. However, no focus is ever placed on the staggering number of students putting their scores before their mental and physical health. This is a national crisis and no attention is diverted to the needs of students since the creators of standardized tests are turning their cheek to the issue. If they were to acknowledge it however, it would mean the tests would need to change – which is something so undesirable to them they would prefer to sacrifice student’s well-being to keep it sanctioned.

Teenagers who had a smart phone surpassed 50% in the U.S in 2012. 77% of teens had access to one in 2015.

For example, live science claims that a twenty year old using a cellphone behind the wheel has the same reaction time as a 70 year old not using a cell phone behind the wheel.

So this means that people are not necessarily addicted to their cell phones as a whole, but the feeling they get after a cell phone activates the dopamine in their brain.

‘There is no other investment that has been proven to deliver as consistent an impact on students or as high of a return on investment as those made in support of high-quality early childhood education.’

you look at it more humanly and stray away from these very small and peculiar numbers; these studies are conducted towards solving an issue established by a select FEW, these studies weren’t urgent because the entire population of kids were beginning to rob banks and shoot people like they do in video games. These studies are meant to be observational graphs displaying what they have learned studying children who are susceptible to being manipulated by games that do let you do things like that. I think its very important that you don’t get too focused on the numbers and remember why these tests were conducted in the first place, to create a distinction between people who are affected and people who are not.
