Question 9 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following is an example of violence?

Answer
A
Julia, a child, shoves the new girl at school out of the way in order to get on the swings.
B
Henry tells coworkers a mean story about his boss, which would hurt her feelings.
C
Jerry defends himself against a mugging using judo and then quickly runs away.
D
Harriet lies to her mother about being out late with her friends.

Explanation

Violence involves using physical force to hurt or overpower someone. Julia shoves the new girl to get to the swings, so her action is an example of violence. Henry’s gossip and Harriet’s lie are not physical force, and Jerry uses force to defend himself from a mugging.
