It is the small and simple things that change with the new day. As we learned in class, there are several mechanisms of change.

why not. Steven’s behavior fits the definition of prosocial behavior in that his actions are benefiting another person. His behavior is altruistic in nature, given that he will not benefit directly from confronting the girls who are bullying his sister.
