Psychology Discussion questions

Question

I have to lead a discussion in my Intro to Psychology class. I decided to talk about this case study (http://jkleinhenz.hsblogs.aes.ac.in/files/2015/10/Hernando-Washington-Article.pdf). What are some discussion questions I can ask that has a strong connection to psychology?

Answer 1

What are the nurture aspects in Hernando's environment that affected his behavior?

How is it helpful to understand the sociological view point of Hernando's crime?

If Hernando had mental illness such as Borderline Personality Disorder, was he responsible for his crime?

How did Hernando's experience with his brother and sister affect his behavior?

How is it possible that Hernando did not think his behavior was horrific?

Hope this helps!
