Samuel thought that it would rain, so he brought his umbrella to school and it did indeed rain. Is this an example of a self-fulfilling prophecy? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
No, a self-fulfilling prophecy is when and individual expects something to occur and then the expectation increases the likelihood that it will occur. In this case, Samuel did not do anything to increase the likelihood of rain; he just made an accurate prediction.
