4.Does the age of the child change the consequence of their actions? Yes or No
5.Do you think there is a situation when the parents should always take responsibility? If you agree name the situation. B. Mean Responses:
Fixed Responses- On question number 1 my audience, on average, agreed that the parents should be responsible. 70% said yes and 40% said no.
Question number 2 5% of the audience said age 10 is when the child is mature enough to take responsibility for their actions, 35% said age 13, 35% said age 16 and 25% said age 18. For question number 3 my surveyed audience believes that the parent should take responsibility a little bit more than half of the time. Although they believe the parent should take responsibilities for their children, they also strongly believe that the age of the child take a tool on what the outcome is. 85% of the class agrees that the age does change the consequence, 15% believe that the age has no effect. From my open response question I learned that more than half of my peers think the parents are ultimately responsible for their children. C. I inferred most of my audience believes the parents should take responsibility, but they also believe it depends on the child’s age and the situation they are in.
