Procedures

What are some things about your life that you value? List at least 5 things and explain each.
Family because my family is important to me, food because I need food to survive, money because I need money to buy food and supplies I need, clothes because I wouldn’t want to be naked around, and Xbox 360 because I like to play video games.
How do these things shape your behavior?
These things shape my behavior because my family will get me mad at some point and I will talk back, food will shape my behavior because when I’m hungry I will be asking my mom when the food going to be ready, money because when I can’t buy something I really need I’ll be like man I needed that, clothes will shape my behavior because if I’m naked in front of people it will be awkward and embarrassing, Xbox 360 because if I lose a game when I was doing really good and it makes me restart the whole game I’ll be like NOO!!!

I am informal when I lay on my bed listening to music or watching TV.
