How to use BEHAVIOR in a sentence?

  1. Paul. F. Meekin:

    The truth is that we are all born into this world quite ignorant, personally I like to think of my behavior in my youth as a "learning experience." I have a great many regrets, and I'm sure most everyone does. However as a Headmaster I now feel that I must protect the memory of those stupid things, so I can teach the value of them to my students. However if they don't want my advice they can always go get a "learning experience" for themselves!

  2. David Strayer:

    We can't all be goody two-shoes and sit in the car and do nothing, so maybe if it crowds out less safe behavior like texting that's good.

  3. Debra Katz:

    Harvey Weinstein has hurt dozens and dozens of people by Harvey Weinstein sexual predatory rapist violent behavior, and today there can be no other discussion other than Harvey Weinstein is exactly where Harvey Weinstein should be.

  4. Sam Cranny-Evans:

    If we look, historically, at authoritarian regimes that perform poorly in a military setting, the don't tend to change their behavior in a positive direction afterwards. So the question might be that if the Ukrainians say,' OK, we will be neutral, just get out,' the Russians might say' No, you have to give us Donetsk and Luhansk. That might be bearable for Ukraine, perhaps, in order to stop the war, but what if, for instance, 10 years down the line, Ukraine has advanced on a significant military modernization ? Or the next Russian president wants to prove his worth, and they conduct another war ? There are a lot of scenarios to think through in terms of what ending this war could lead to.

  5. Gregory Skormal:

    Based on scarring patterns and wounds, we know that white sharks off Cape Cod frequently bite each other, however, until this video was shot, we had never actually witnessed any kind of social interaction. The video shows a smaller white shark approach and make contact with a larger white shark, which quickly left the area. We are now examining the video more closely to determine if this was aggressive and/or defensive behavior or, perhaps, associated with mating.
