The question that I have come up with for my inquiry question this week. What if the test subjected was never brought up on having food and growing up hungry. When they see anything kind of food or sweets their initiative response would to eat it because they are starving and they are being pressured and tempted to eat it. However they are being forced to wait 15 minutes not to eat what’s in front of them and they will receive double the amount as their reward. But that cause them to have a self-debate because it’s like eat it now or wait the 15 minutes and receive more. I know that if I was brought up on not having food and for men to see food in front of me I would grab and eat.  

Another question that I had come up from the readings was that how can I marshmallow predict a person’s future. The reason I came up with this question is because people change. With people changing so does their willpower, in the article it talks about how kids don’t have the willpower and since they can’t wait 15 min. to eat a marshmallow they are destine for failure in life. I feel that, that’s inaccurate because majority of kids don’t learn about will till they are in preschool or even kindergarten. So while they learn about willpower the more they begin to change. This is the reason why I came up with this question.
