Randy's behavior is probably caused by his environment because when he is alone he is perfectly capable of having age-appropriate independence and doesn't have any learning disabilities. Randy is most likely having issues because his mother and father have separated, his mother and his boyfriend are in a low socioeconomic situation, his mother is not around often, and when she is she sometimes makes threats about sending him to live with his father. Randy also is mirroring harsh language from someone because he knows bad words at the preschool level which is most likely heard from someone in the family. It seems like much of his negative social behavior is from his family and it could potentially be abusive.
At school I would suggest that
James T. Johnson was a young man who had a good job working as a construction worker. Although, he had a job and worked every day he still lived at home with his mother. Furthermore, he was the type of young man who went to work on time and after work he would come home. Unfortunately, there were occasions where he would go out with a few of his co-workers on a Friday he still came home afterwards. Nevertheless, he was hiding a secret from his mother that later led to him being arrested. Now, rather than James uses his money he had earned from working, he burglarized homes and garages in the communities in his area. After burglarizing these homes he would then sell the items he had stolen via the internet or a pawn shop in two different counties.
...y. As the book showed ?dad yells and blames everyone, mom yells at the kids, the older children yell at the younger children, and the youngest child kicks the cat.? (Carceral, 2004, pp. 200). The youngest child is not able to understand what is really going on and feels worthless and not loved without conditions. This child will turn to where they will get attention. This can lead to undesirable associates and into crime. As the child grows older, and has children of this/her own the syndrome is passed on.
...ription of his foster parents, his foster siblings, are less than objective. I anticipate finding that his symptoms of anxiety attacks, fear of accomplishment, panic over being successful, fear of abandonment, can be interpreted as outward manifestations of unconscious conflicts that have their origins in childhood experiences and defensive reactions to these experienced that were necessary to him as a child.

My rationale for writing this paper is to know what oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is and its effect on age, gender, and concurring behaviors (comorbidity) like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder (CD). How these conditions are affected in getting the proper diagnosis and treatment for ODD. Loeber, Burke, and Pardini reported in clinical groups among children, ODD is listed as one of the most commonly known behavioral disorders (as cited in Kazdin, 1995). Stringaris and Goodman (2009) found ODD is apparently very important among adolescents because of its strong connection with a large assortment of fully developed mental health disorders such as (as cited by Kim-Cohen et all., 2003, Nock, Kazdin, Hiripi, & Kessler, 2007) conduct disorder (CD) and an introverted disorder (as cited by Burke, Loeber, Lahey, & Rathouz, 2005; Costello, Mustillo, Erkanli, Keeler, & Angold, 2003; Ford, Goodman, & Meltzer, 2003).
I have decided to research the development of antisocial personality disorders due to the quality of early childhood care and early childhood experiences. Antisocial personality disorder is described generally as disregard for others. Diagnosing ASPD involves features such as delinquency, physical assaults, deceitfulness and lying, impulsivity, and irresponsibility. This topic appealed to me because my step sister goes to see a therapist and they have reason to believe that she may have an antisocial or borderline personality disorder. While I won’t divulge, she has had many traumatic childhood experiences and had quite the rough upbringing with her parents. This led me to be interested in this article and to find out more about the connections between the two phenomena.
Time is all you have and you have to make the most of it. Randy Pausch had pancreatic cancer and according to his doctors he had only three to six months left to live, but that did not matter to Randy. Randy made the most of his time to spend with his family and preparing his last lecture at Carnegie Mellon to leave something to his kids to look back on. Randy shows us that time is not to be wasted sitting around and doing nothing. Randy also shows us to manage our time to do everything that is needed to be done. Finally, Randy shows us that time can change people for good or for worse. From this book, I learned that you have to spend all of your

Conduct Disorder has been a part of the American Psychological Association’s Diagnostic Statistical Manuel (DSM) since its original release date in 1994. Although, there is new information about the disorder that was previously unknown, Conduct Disorder is distinguished by a “repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate norms or rules are violated” (American Psychiatric Association, 1994.) This mild, moderate, or severe antisocial behavior begins to appear either in childhood, categorized as early-onset conduct disorder , or in adolescence after ten years of age, classified as adolescent-onset conduct disorder (Passamonti et al., 2010.) The criteria to meet to be diagnosed with this disorder are separated into four subgroups: aggressive conduct, nonaggressive conduct, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violations of the rules. Three or more incidents must be present in the past twelve months with at least one of the characteristics being present in the past six months. This disorder causes severe impairment of functioning across a variety of situations so it is important to keep in mind society and individual situations because this diagnosis may be “misapplied to individuals in settings where patterns of undesirable behavior are sometimes viewed as protective” (American Psychiatric Association, 1994.) For example, a patient that has recently relocated from a war torn country would most likely not be a candidate for Conduct disorder even though he or she may exhibit some of the characteristics.
I have heard many stories of the cruel and evil crimes that some children have committed. There are a number of causes that can occur during development, that can cause these, kind of criminal behaviors. Antisocial behavior which can be broken down into different types of behavior (1.) the presence of antisocial behavior for instance aggressive and disobedient behavior (2.) the lack of prosocial behavior, prosocial is a behavior that demonstrates cooperative, truthful and caring children. Behaviors such as these can really alter a child’s behavior. Most children show signs of some antisocial behavior during their development, and different children demonstrate different levels of prosocial and antisocial behavior. Some children however, may manifest extreme levels of both antisocial and prosocial behaviors; for example, a very loving but hostile child. Some children can experience low levels of both types of behaviors. Extreme levels of antisocial behavior are considered a mental illness. Young children may show extreme antagonism towards authoritative figures, and be diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder.
The social learning theories opened the gate into the study and research of the social cognitive theories that focuses on aggressive behavior and aggressive inputs are a major contribution to the theories of personality (Yeager et al., 2013). The insights provided by the professionals throughout this article focused on personality extremities and how they affected individuals involved in the study, while reflecting on internalizing and externalizing factors. The way individuals handle their differences in personality traits depends heavily upon several factors that begin affecting at an extremely young
... a better relationship with their best friend. Antisocial behavior can also develop as a result of harsh parenting. In a study done by Jaffee (2012), studies on monozygotic twins showed that the twin exposed to harsher discipline developed more conduct problems. Also, the study found that in normal siblings, the sibling that is physically beat more will result in more externalizing behavior. So, siblings who got received harsh physical or verbal parenting showed a higher degree of externalizing behavior. This study then concluded that harsh parenting directly affected anti-social behavior in adolescents. Combining many of the consequences of harsh parenting mentioned above such as low ego, poor academic performance, poor romantic relationships, and depression and substance abuse, it only makes sense that anti-social behavior would also prove to be a result.

His morality and values seem to aim more towards the fun aspect of life. He shows little regard towards getting good grades or taking responsibility for anything. He would much rather play video games and have fun with his brothers. However, he has extremely high values about protecting his family. His family seems to be the only thing he truly cares about. If anyone crosses path with them he can go into a rage that no mere mortal should ever be able to
