Which term describes the act of instilling positive behaviours and attitudes?

• A. Rehabilitation
• B. Justice
• C. Reintegration
• D. Colonialism

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is changing a person’s behavior and mindset to be more pro-social. Rehabilitation is about guiding someone to adopt positive habits, attitudes, and skills through programs like counseling, education, or therapy, with the goal of reducing problematic behavior and helping them participate constructively in society. That makes it the best fit for describing the act of instilling positive behaviours and attitudes.

Reintegration deals with how someone re-enters the community after a period away, focusing on social acceptance and rebuilt connections, not the process of changing inner behaviors. Justice centers on fairness within the legal system—punishment and upholding laws—rather than personal reform. Colonialism is a historical system of domination and control, unrelated to the concept of changing an individual’s behavior.
