ACTIVITY NO.1
What is your opinion on Lombrosol's theory that criminals are born? Or do you oppose
such view? Explain with reason/citation if you may.
My opinion on Lombroso's theory that criminals are born is accurate because committing
a crime starts on us. That defines us what our backgrounds are, our family heredity, and it
can also influence our genetic. Not all criminals are born. They are made of themselves,
committing a crime, the behavior, needs, and drives of self.
ACTIVITY NO.2
How is behavior influenced by motives?
Motivation refers to the influences that govern the initiation, direction, intensity, and persistence
of behavior. Thus, motivation refers to the causes of behavior as required by a need. Drives and
motivation are covered in the world of psychology, for they energize behavior and gives
direction to man's action. For example, a motivated individual engaged in a more active, more
vigorous, and more effective undertaking than the unmotivated one.
At any time, many motives might guide a person's behavior. What determines one's will?
Abraham Maslow has given a perspective that addresses this question. He suggested basic
classes of needs, drives, or motives influencing human behavior.
ACTIVITY NO.3
From Maslow's hierarchy of needs; make an illustration of your personal/ultimate goals
according to herarchy.

ACTIVITY NO.4
Cite particular event/conditions are as exam example to each type of conflict.
1. Double approach conflict- a person is motivated to engage in two desirable activities that
cannot be pursued simultaneously.
2. Double avoidance conflict- a person faces two undesirable situations in which the avoidance
of one is exposed to the other, resulting in intense emotion.
3. approach-avoidance conflict- a person faces a situation having both desirable and
undesirable features. It is sometimes called a "dilemma" because some negative and some
positive features must be accepted regardless of the chosen course of action. Multiple
approach-avoidance conflicts- a situation in which a choice must be made between two or more
alternatives with both positive and negative features. It is often the most difficult to resolve
because each portion's features are often difficult to compare.
ACTIVITY NO.5
Give 5 examples for each sources of frustration.
1. Physical obstacles- are physical barriers or circumstances that prevent one from doing
his plan or fulfilling his wishes.
Example are Time, Place, Space, Climate, and Noise.
2. Social circumstances - are restrictions or circumstances impose by other people and
customs and laws of social beings.
Examples are Income level, Educational opportunities, Occupation, employment status,
workplace safety, Gender inequity, Racial segregation.
3. Personal shortcomings such as being handicapped by diseases, deafness, paralysis.
Examples are Diseases, illness, deafness, paralysis, and blindness.
4. Conflict between motives - refers to the simultaneous arousal of two or more
incompatible motives resulting in unpleasant emotions. It is a source of frustration
because it is a threat to normal behavior.
Examples are person vs. person, nature, self, destiny, and desire.
ACTIVITY NO.6
Why are there sex, age, and race differences in the victimization rate?
Because victimization rate has different victim characteristics that might prevent crime.
Furthermore, in sex, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, males experienced higher
victimization rates than females for all types of violent crime except rape or other sexual
assault. In 2014, more than 73% of those arrested in the US were males.
Differences by age. In 2014–2016, adolescents ages 12 to 14 experienced higher rates of
violent crime victimization than their older peers
From 1973 to 2015, the decline in violence rates was 77% among whites, 79% among
blacks, and 74% among Hispanics. Across the decades, the risks for
serious violence were highest among blacks and lowest among whites.
ACTIVITY NO.7
What can be done to limit victimization risk?
Everyone should take precautions to avoid becoming a victim of criminal activity.

Unfortunately, persons with autism often need to take extra precautions. Community education
and teaching people with autism safety skills are both critical parts of the solution. Here are
some tips.
 To avoid victimization from street crimes or abuses, avoid areas that are unfamiliar to
you.
 Consider carrying a cell phone.
 Travel in groups if possible or walk with the crowd.
 Take a look around the parking lot before unlocking doors and exiting your vehicle.
 Arrive with the crowd to work, school, and other events.
 Do not carry large amounts of cash.
 Do not wander off well-traveled pedestrian walkways or vehicular avenues
 Most importantly, keep safe always.
