Editing Locus of control (section)

=='''Challenges and Further Consideration'''==
<p>Taking a critical stance at Locus of Control and Learned Helplessness, it seems that external locus of control is mostly considered a negative influence on our daily lives. However, would there ever be instances where having an external locus of control is considered positive? Are there circumstances where putting responsibilities on external factors serve as a valid stress reliever as seen in the article from Verywell Mind<ref name="VerywellMind_2022" />? On the other hand, could having an internal locus of control possibly foster a negative attitude or personality, such as arrogance or over-confident, toward surroundings and situations?</p>

On the notion of learned helplessness, it is probably valid to say that countermeasures should be implemented seeing the consequences and impact it has on people’s beliefs. The critical question may be, how does one truly identify themselves as a victim of learned helplessness, and how motivated are such individuals to take courage and seek help? Also how effectively can Cognitive Behavioral Therapy serve as a treatment for learned helplessness? Perhaps further explorations are still needed to measure the willingness of the people who seek help and the effectiveness of the therapy in order to fully prevent and avoid the cause of learned helplessness.</p>
