Card 2 / 25: If someone sneezes when pepper is thrown in his face, is that a purposeful action?
Answer:
The answer is no, because (presumably) sneezing is a reflexive behavior. It's important for the student to realize that the distinction between purposeful action and mindless behavior is not simply the difference between human bodily movements versus items in nature. As the example of lifting a leg in the student text shows, human behavior can be classified as either purposeful action or mindless behavior, depending on the circumstances.
