Learned Helplessness

When a child/student gives you a perpetual "idk" face when you ask/they are asked, to do some menial task that is well within their ability to do so, but they want you to either do it for them, or just give them the answer.
Susie should stop displaying such obvious learned helplessness and tie her own damn shoelaces, the idiot is thirteen!

The students suffer from a ridiculous amount of learned helplessness whenever they are asked to go over something their science teacher *just*freaking*disscused*.

Learned Behavior

Everything we are came from being brainwashed as a child.

When we went to school, it was brainwashing. When were taught from our parents, it was brainwashing. If you were in an organized religion, it was brainwashing. Let me explain my reasoning.

* Some teachings are a necessity and healthy. Some teachings have been proven to be false, outdated.
* As a child, you were taught to respect others, have proper etiquette, listen to what you're told. (The Basics). We all had a different basic teachings. These teachings should of been healthy and necessary. So far, this is who you are.

* You were then forced to absorb information from schools that executed information in completely different forms. Also, everyone had a different level of experience from that school. As far as how other kids absorbed their basic information and how you felt around them. Either you were liked, you were passed up, or you were not social because you didn't feel comfortable.
You are not born racist, it is learned behavior. Also that action he is doing is learned behavior from childhood.
