Example Paragraph

Behavior has two definitions. The everyday meaning is deportment, the way in which one complies with the conventions of social living. If an adolescent obeys his parents, displays good manners respects the property and rights of others, and abides by the regulations of his school, he is considered to exhibit proper behavior. Improper behavior is misbehavior. In psychology, however, the technical meaning of behavior involves no notion of conventions or standards. It has no connotation of propriety. In psychology behavior refers to any overt action on the part of an animal organism. The action may be simple or complex. At one extreme, it may be linking an eye, flexing a finger, tilting the head, swallowing some water, taking a step, uttering a sound, or putting a mark on an answer sheet. At the other extreme, it may be singing a song on a television show, attempting a ten-foot putt on the eighteenth hole in a golf tournament, bargaining automobile on a used car lot, taking a final examination in a freshman history course or painting a still life in an attic studio.
