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.
1.1 The youth have a responsibility to tell others what beliefs and opinions they
should hold. (2)
This statement is incorrect because the youth do not have the responsibility to
dictate others' beliefs and opinions. Everyone has the right to their own thoughts and
beliefs, and it is not up to others to impose their views on them.
1.2 Fourteen-year-old learners may work as cashiers in shops after school
hours. (2)
This statement is incorrect because in most countries, there are laws regulating the
employment of young people, which usually set a minimum age for certain types of
work. In many places, 14-year-olds may work limited hours and in certain jobs, but
not as cashiers in shops.
1.3 Non-maleficence involves acting in manner that is beneficial to the person
involved. (2)
This statement is incorrect because non-maleficence means avoiding harm or injury
to others, rather than always acting in their best interests. Sometimes, not doing
something harmful is the best course of action, even if it doesn't actively benefit the
person involved.
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)
