What is behavior? It pertains to a person's actions and how we perceive them. We evaluate a person’s behavior based on our own understanding of what is right or wrong. However, this evaluation is not perfect since a lot of it depends so much on our own upbringing.
The decision on whether behavior is acceptable or not is also based on how our society develops. Some people have a tendency to say that today’s youth has far more behavioral problems than 20 or 30 years ago. But it can also be said that we are just more likely to label something these days than to really deal with it. It is like a label makes it better.
The amount of children on behavioral modification medicine these days astounds me. When I was young, a child that misbehaved was simply punished until they learned better. As a teacher, I feel that we as a society are making excuses for bad behavior instead of trying to stop it. Maybe things do have to get worse before they get better.
