Teen brains are not fully connected to the frontal lobe, the area responsible for decision making, Myline is responsible for making the electrical impulses flow smoothly, and the lack of this chemical means that teens do not form good decisions as quickly.
The cerebellum is used to regulate fear and pleasure responses. This means that it is what causes people to react to a situation in different circumstances.
Social interactions are the primary ways that babies learn. They learn how to behave, how to control themselves, how others should be acting. If all babies were allowed to see all of the world, then there would be a possibility of a universal moral code. However, each child has a unique experience, and a moral code that is understood universally is not likely.
When making a decision, most of the time it is clear what the outcome of the cost will be. Putting extra time into homework is likely to result in a better grade and understanding. Going to work is going to result in money to buy things like food, water, shelter and other nice things like tvs. However, it is not always clear where the outcome is worth the cost.
I have found, that with my parents, most of the time they will say "go do (insert chore)". And I will usually see the benefit. Taking out trash means that it doesn't smell, and there is more room to put stuff. Lately, however, I have been questioning this cost vs reward system, and it has gotten me into a lot of trouble. "go clean your room" is what they say, and I say, why? It doesn't bother me if my shoes are on a rack, or papers are stacked. The only reward I see is that it makes my parents, not happy, but they stop nagging me. But I don't see that the effort I make to clean my room gives as good of a reward. Unfortunately for me, my parents disagree.
