Check whether agreement is freely given

Supplied materials

• Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
• An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
• The fictional message says, “Agree to this photo or I will threaten your place in the group.” An answer produced under that threat is not freely given. The action should not proceed on that basis, and responsible support is appropriate. Removing the threat and asking specifically would be a different situation, but it still requires a genuine current answer. The case is not a legal ruling about a real relationship.
• A person agrees to a wave, then says stop before any touch. What fits?
• A message threatens punishment unless the person agrees to a photo. What fits?
• Agreement covers a private photo, but the next proposal is public posting. What fits?
• A fictional adult freely and clearly agrees to one non-touch greeting, with no pressure. What fits?
• A request receives silence. What fits?
• A person is repeatedly pressured after declining. What fits?

Learn the idea

Consent-related agreement must be freely given rather than produced by threats, pressure or misuse of authority. A specific yes covers a specific action, and a changed answer must be respected. Silence, a past agreement or being in a relationship is not a blanket permission.

Use the supplied words and conditions, not guesses about intentions. Stop an action when agreement is absent or withdrawn. A person who cannot make an informed decision cannot provide that agreement. Safety support may be needed when pressure or harm occurs.

These fictional everyday and relationship cases require no private experience. This lesson does not determine legal capacity or local age-of-consent law. Learners can use trusted adults and qualified support; nobody is responsible for preventing harm by finding a perfect phrase.

1. Mark the facts or constraints in the supplied case.
2. Apply the method explained above; draw a sequence, table or decision map.
3. Compare your result with the worked solution and explain the difference.
4. Complete the new cases, then check the changed-case extension.

Take it further

Analyze “You agreed yesterday, so you must agree today.” Expected: past agreement is not current blanket permission, a new specific answer is needed, no pressure, stop if declined.
