7.  By the age of four or five, most youngsters have
constructed dozens of scripts based on daily
experiences; moreover, they have heard dozens of
stories from their elders and perhaps scores from
the communications media that happen to be
prevalent in their societies. No doubt, the number
of scripts and stories continues to mount in the
years thereafter; and as, already suggested these
become more and more complex, subtle and
ambiguous. I would not be surprised if more
adults in Western society posses a hundred or
more regular scripts and have internalized several
hundred stories.

12.  An African-American Male named Wilbert has a sick wife
and 2 kids. His wife is recurrently in and out of the hospital.
His wife who has her Master’s in Business Administration
cannot work because of her many illnesses. Financially, this
is causing a strain on the household. Even though Wilbert
and his family are below the poverty line, they have decided
to invest in the minds and extracurricular activities of their 2
children. Both Children are in private school and participate
in privilege children extracurricular activities such as guitar
lessons, piano lessons, after school scholastic programs,
ballet and tap lessons, etc. As a result of the parents financial
choices, occasionally the electricity and water would be cut
out, the pantry and refrigerator at times would be sparse, the
children experienced isolation and bullying, and in extreme
cases the house would be put up for foreclosure.
 How would you classify Wilbert and his wife’s decision on
their investments? Bad Unethical, Good Unethical, Bad
Ethical, Good unethical?

13.  A young African-American male name Adam is going to a small
private military school. His mother has been ill for a while, and his
father is oftentimes unemployed due to the time he takes off to care
for his wife. One of his teachers is constantly harassing Adam in
class about the financial state of his parents and seemingly decrepit
state of his shoes. This is negatively affecting Adam’s self-esteem.
Additionally, the same teacher has attempted to molest Adam on
several occasions after school. However, the teacher is also the
youth minister, basketball coach, and nephew by marriage to the
pastor and founder of the school. Unfortunately, Adam’s family
and the pastor’s family are not on the best of terms. Adam is
stressed and confused on what to do. If Adam does not tell, he may
be putting others at risks due to the many positions the teacher
holds. If Adam does tell, he could be responsible for breaking a
man from his wife and son or being expelled because of the
teacher’s family ties to the top administration of the church and
school.
