1. Teen brains are not able to make long term decisions. The frontal lobe of an adult is connected to the rest of their brain, so they are able to use its full activity. In teens, however, the frontal lobe is not entirely connected, and they cannot think as far into the future as adult brains. Teens usually make decisions based on desire or emotion. This is due to the lack of fatty codeine called myelin on the part of the teenagers. Myelin is the energy source in which cells feed off from in order to help humans properly use their frontal lobes. There is more myelin in adult brains, which is why they are able to access their frontal lobe, and think through the consequences of their actions more easily than teenagers.
2. The role of the cerebellum in decision making is to coordinate the decisions that a human makes. The teens also use the cerebellum to smooth out intellectual processes. The teenager is stated to use it to coordinate past the complicated social life that they are experiencing, similar as to how the cerebellum is used to coordinate physical movements.
3. Babies can be born either good or evil. Parents use socialization to either create morality in a bad baby, or reinforce it in a good one. The parents can also enlighten the good baby by expanding its own morality with their teachings. The ideal implications of a Universal moral code on society is that everyone would have the same amount of morals. Everyone would be equally good, and they would treat each other as such, for no one would know any different. However, there are always going to be people who won't value that moral code and live life they way they wish to do so. Due to those choices, the Universe would most likely remain the same if there was a universal moral code.
4. When it comes to decision making, one knows when the benefits outweigh the costs when a greater goal can be achieved as a result. For example, when Martin Luther King Jr began his crusade to obtain Civil Rights for his people, he knew that things were going to get messy. The white people would go on a rage towards these black protesters Many people were going to get wounded, and some of them might even get killed. However, Martin realized that if the white people discovered that the threat of violence would not hinder the blacks from getting what they wanted, the whites might grant the blacks their freedom. As it turned out, the benefits outweighed the costs, and the Martin Luther King Jr's Civil Rights project was a success.
On a decision like this, it did matter whether or not the benefits outweighed the costs. The downside to these non violent protests was that the other side wouldn't hold back. The whites would hurt, imprison, and maybe even kill the black people. The risks involved were that the segregation laws would have stayed the same, and that those people who were injured or killed would have been so for nothing. There was also the risk that the Negros could quit out of fear, and the white people would gain even more power. However, the benefits towards such a decision were enormous. Everyone in the world is equal, and the white people needed to see as much. If they led these non violent protests, then the world would sympathize with them when they got attacked. The whites might realize the error of their ways and grant the Negros their rights. As a result, the costs and the benefits definitely would have mattered in a situation like that.
