5- Could we give little kicks just for fun?
6/8
An act of teasing to have fun or a joke.
The correct answer is B
A violent act with the intention of causing harm.
6- What could you call the act that Eric committed?
A violent act with the intention of causing harm.
7- Some reasons that may explain Eric's behaviour:
The correct answer is B
No. There is no good reason to kick either an animal or a person. Being angry doesn't justify violence. Even if the cat had scratched him, Eric should have just pushed the cat away and raised his voice. It's fine if you don't like cats but the law forbids cruelty to animals or to humans.
7/8
1. Eric doesn't like cats. 2. Eric was angry. 3. Eric was scratched.

No. No animal or human should be mistreated and suffer. There is nothing funny about hurting an animal or a person.

3/7
4/7
4- Mathieu likes playing jokes, would you like to be
made fun of?
The correct answer is B
No people do not like being made fun of. If Mathieu likes being a joker he has to take responsability ! When he decides to make his classmates laugh saying something silly, Mathieu risks being punished by the teacher. However, when he played a joke on Jimmy he made his classmates laugh at Jimmy's expense so that he became a victim of the joke.
5- Did Jimmy, the victim, appreciate the joke?
The correct answer is B
No. Jimmy, the victim, could have broken his back. He didn't choose to be the centre of a joke. He may feel humiliated.
5/7
6- Did Mathieu think about the consequences of his act before doing it?
6/7
The correct answer is B
No, Mathieu did not think about the consequences of his act.
7/7
7- If Mathieu had thought about the consequences of his act, physically and morally hurting Jimmy, would he have done it?
The correct answer is B
No, Mathieu would not have pulled away Jimmy's chair if he had thought before acting. If a child becomes the scapegoat of the class, you must not stay indifferent and accept that it continues for the victim.You have to defend him, alone or with other classmates and tell the adults in charge (teachers, supervisors, headmasters, mediators, the school nurse and your parents.)
