etc....

give me at least 8 examples

Answer 1

Often a person guilty of murder, while being tried in court, is apathetic -- he shows no emotion.  He obviously feels nothing.  He is not moved.  He cannot even be roused to take matters seriously enough to show much tension, or unhappiness, nervousness, caring.  Everyone else could be crying, and if you put a pitza in front of such a murderer, he might show a surprisingl appetite for the pitza!  

Another example is a a big burly boyfriend of a woman whose child he has killed while babysitting during time the mother was working and he has beaten the toddler to death.  He acts unconcerned!  And he IS unconcerned. It is apathy.

Answer 2

1. Going onto Answers instead of doing your own homework!

(sorry couldn't resist).

Basically to me it means not doing something that would be good for you (either immediately or in the future) simply because you can't be bothered.

2. Not doing your taxes even though you have a big refund coming

3. Playing computer games even though it's a nice day and the guys are playing ball next door.

4. Skipping your morning shower.

5. Not going to class even when you are in danger of getting kicked out of school.

6. Not going to the dentist even though you can feel a hole in your tooth.

7. Skipping your best friends' birthday dinner because you are 'too tired'.

8. Not saying anything when developers are trying to ruin your neighborhood.

Answer 3

Not trying in school...

Leaving water running when you are not using it...

Washing a very small load of laundry on the large load cycle...

Throwing trash out of a car window...

Answer 4

meh.. i dont care

Answer 5

Emo kids are always in an apathetic mood

Answer 6

I find your list on my list.

Some places the local government is too stupid to have a recycling program, like Flint, Michigan.

If used in a responsible manor, Hummers (any suv) are fine, just not on a 100 mile, 100 mph one way to work day.

Not voting ?  Its not how if vote, only that we can, that is important.

Answer 7

American Heritage says:

Feeling or showing a lack of interest or concern; indifferent. Feeling or showing little or no emotion; unresponsive.

I can point out to you eight living examples that would explain "apathetic" without uttering a word just by driving by a high school.

As for behavior, here's eight:

1. Not voting if you're eligible.

2. Not cleaning up after yourself.

3. Being inconsiderate.

4. Getting but never giving birthday gifts or wishes.

5. Never asking how someone is after they ask you and you answer.

6. Doing the very minimum to get by.

7. Drinking the last of the milk and putting the empty carton back in the refrigerator.

8. Never saying thank you.

These are just a few examples. I got each one from thinking back on how teenagers treat everyone they see, especially the emos.
