, QUESTION 1 [10 marks]
Read the incorrect statements provided below. In each instance, argue why the statement is
incorrect. Each correct answer is worth two marks. For example: Statement: Lev Vygotsky is
the theorist who is most associated with positive psychology. Answer: This statement is
incorrect because Martin Seligman is the theorist who is most associated with positive
psychology. Now read each incorrect statement (1.1 to 1.5) below and argue why it is incorrect.
1.1 The youth have a responsibility to tell others what beliefs and opinions they should hold. (2)
1.2 Fourteen-year-old learners may work as cashiers in shops after school hours. (2)
1.3 Non-maleficence involves acting in manner that is beneficial to the person involved. (2)
1.4 Teacher counselling involves the use of the same counselling approach for all learners,
regardless of their backgrounds, so that the process is fair and equal. (2)
1.5 A solution-focused approach to counselling involves a search for events that will show the
belief that “something is wrong” with a person to be false. (2)
1.1 The youth have a responsibility to tell others what beliefs and opinions they should
hold.
This statement is incorrect because individuals, including youth, have the right to hold
their own beliefs and opinions. It is not the responsibility of the youth or any individual to
dictate or impose their beliefs on others. Respect for individual autonomy and freedom
of thought are important principles in a democratic society. People should have the
freedom to form their own beliefs and opinions based on their own experiences, values,
and critical thinking rather than being compelled to adopt the beliefs of others.
