Wise Judgment Scenario

PSY/220

The wise judgment scenario that I have chosen to write on is the teenage girl

in love. The teenaged girl’s boyfriend that she is in love with is encouraging her to have sex; he is saying he will make sure they only have protected sex. Older woman can usually relate to situations like this, because we were all once young. I have personally dealt with this wise judgment situation but at a younger age. When coming to situations like these one must make a wise judgment, this will take place with in the perception of the person. There are several questions the young girl needs to think about; am I old enough, do I really love him, is it worth it, or is he worth it. The person needs to look with in her emotional perception. This is the person’s ability to identify emotions and recognize them in others. The teenage girl needs to think, does he really show emotions for me as I do for him. She thinks that she is in love, but how does she know she is not experiencing lust for the boy? Maybe the couple spends too much time together, and she cannot decipher her emotions because she is constantly with him. If she was to go hang out with friends maybe then she could open up and realizes if this is something she should avoid at this age. Mood changes sometimes enable people to appreciate different and more points of view. This scenario is almost a hard factor for a lot of people to try and make judgments towards. I think this is because we do not know how old the teenage girl is, and we do not know her or the boy friends back ground. Now in our present time, teenage pregnancy is very common now, and most of them our in their very low teens. I think this should have a lot to do with decisions making when it comes to unprotected sex. If the boy friend says he will make sure, it is also in her wise judgment to make sure as well, not just him. Wise

    women obtaining abortions are teenagers; those aged 15-17 obtain 6% of all abortions, teens aged 18-19 obtain 11%, and teens under age 15 obtain 0.4%. On another bracket women in their twenties account for more than half of all abortions; women aged 20–24 obtain 33% of all abortions, and women aged 25-29 obtain 24%. Lewis believes that sex education is not necessary, as long as there are contraception methods and abortion available in the United States. But according to the statistics above, parents need to educate their young kids about sex and the consequences and hardships they could face, but also teach them to effectively use the contraception methods that are available because in these times, sex is not a taboo anymore, like it was in prior centuries. Schools should also contribute to the education of young kids about sex, and how they can practice safe sex or abstinence instead of just touching base on the topic from a health class perspective because it would help teenagers and young adults realize the responsibility that’s involved with being sexually active, and how they can practice having safer sex. As adults, we cannot prevent or deprive a teenager from having sex; we would have to lock them in a cell or be with them at all times. But we have to admit that sex is part of our nature, and all we can do is inform our teenagers so they can act as they choose with the…

    She understands how hard it can be to make choices when you are going through big changes. She may also understand your feelings towards one another. I do not doubt the level of feelings and love your boyfriend has towards you but consider the age difference between you, he may be using his maturity to pressure you in to making a big decision you may regret. When making a big decision I advise you to remember the way you were raised and your own personal views about engaging in sexual activities. I want you to weigh your options an think hard about what you really want to so and why you want to do it, then I want you to do the same thing with your boyfriend. Another thing I want you to think about is the results and consequences of your decisions. If you choose to engage in sexual intercourse I want you to educate yourself and your boyfriend about the proper contraceptive methods (i.e. birth control and condoms) to avoid anything happening that you are not ready for such as becoming…

    If the situation was with a person who is 19 and another who is 12 then many people would be raging that something should be done. Again, even at 17 a person’s mind is not fully developed to make a decision such as sex on their own. According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, they found that 51 percent of 12 to 19 year old girls were most influenced by their parents when making decisions about sex (Parks 13). In other words, these teens are not engaging in intercourse by 100% their choice, but by the environment surrounding…

    Anna needs to discuss the difference between what she is feeling now versus how she will feel as an adult, once the hormone levels have evened out. It is important for her to understand that what she thinks may be a long term, emotional, attachment, may end much sooner than she think and that making a decision based on these emotion may end up causing her emotional pain. By explaining to Anna that, if the love is as strong as she believes it to be, her relationship will last long enough for her to be able to make this decision without all of the physical, emotional, and peer pressure she may feel more comfortable in waiting to make such a major move with her boyfriend.…

    It used to be that exercising good judgment largely meant “using common sense.” But today, while common sense is still essential, exercising good judgment—consistently— in a business environment that is increasingly complex and dynamic, volatile and uncertain, and under high pressure requires a disciplined process. It also requires an understanding of common traps and biases that can undermine the judgments of even seasoned professionals and boards. Clearly, many audit committee members are attuned to the issue of judgment— particularly as they sharpen their focus on accounting judgments and estimates, to understand how management arrived at a particular estimate, alternatives that were considered and, ultimately, the quality of the decision. Of course, applying a sound judgment process to every key business decision is essential, whether it’s about corporate strategy, acquisitions or risk. Yet, in our surveys, audit committee members continue to cite “groupthink” as a concern, and many express the need to hear more “dissenting views, particularly from down-theline” to support a more rigorous dialogue about the risks facing the company. To this end, highlighted here are insights from Enhancing Board Oversight: Avoiding Judgment Traps and Biases, a new COSO1 paper co-authored by KPMG and Brigham Young University professors Steven M. Glover and Douglas F. Prawitt, on the keys to a robust professional judgment process.…

    Statutory Rape

    “Two-thirds of births to teenage girls nationwide are fathered by adult men age twenty or older,” (Hsu). This fact partially falls under the category of statutory rape. Depending on the state and its law about statutory rape, at a certain teen year it is allowed for a teenager to be sexually active with any age above their own. However, there is a possibility for a teen to be able to be sexually active with someone older with parental consent, but that also has an age limit to it. Statutory rape has been discussed for several years because of all the different types of cases that have been dealt with in the past, such as the partners being in love, the parents approving the relationship but the consent not mattering, and so on.…

    Young people often face harsh situations and are forced into making impulsive choices without consulting a more mature being. According to a critical review of this short story, one says that Sammy’s behavior is an attempt by Updike to reflect on his conviction that “the heroic gesture is often meaningless and usually arises from selfish rather than unselfish impulses” (Wilson). Sammy is pressured into quitting his job on the spot in order to gain the attention of a group of girls but fails miserably. In “Stepdaughters”, Stephanie is pressured into making the decision of either continuing her career opportunity or stepping away to please her mother’s selfish tendency. Young people that are not quite as mature as some elder adults often are forced into making impulsive decisions that can have an important impact on their life.…

    Sex is a common venture for everyone to experience at some point in their lives, and it comes to no surprise that teenagers are the first ones to engage in it. Sex is not a bad thing and teenagers should not be punished for it, but unfortunately most parents do not know how react when their teens come to them with sexual questions. Since teens do not talk to their parents beforehand, and vice versa, they usually decide to have sex blindly. Subsequently teenagers have neither prior experience nor knowledge about sex and…

    Although, if you haven’t realized the world is nothing like this. Guys are always lying to stay out of trouble with their significant other. Most guys (not all) tend to drift off and cheat on their mate. This is how most STD's are transferred. In the U.S., 1 in 4 sexually active teens become infected with an STD every year. Some common STDs are chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital warts (also known as HPV - human papillomavirus), and herpes. The girls tend to forgive their boyfriends because they are either to insecure and feel they can’t find anyone else or because they think their boyfriends won't do it again, which leads up to teenage pregnancy. There is an increasingly large amount of teenage pregnancies. Nationally, nearly one million young women under age 20 become pregnant each year. That means close to 2800 teens get pregnant each day. Some teens think that the world is going to end in 2012 so it's okay for them to have kids young, but let me assure anyone who thinks this; it’s not true at all. Not one teen should feel obligated to have sex with their "other" because they feel that they're going to leave them or that the world is going to end. Teenage girls tend to deal with a lot of emotional difficulties after having sex. They believe that when they have sex with their boyfriends their relationship will be everlasting, but it usually ends about two months after the sex…
