Consider again the election in question HW3, under the Borda Count method.a. Is there a Condorcet candidate in this election, and how can you tell?b.Does the result of this election under the Borda Countmethod violate the Condorcet Criterion? Explain briefly why or whynot.
Answer:
a)Not enough information
b)A Borda count election will likely violate the Condorcet Criterion. There usually is a Condorcet winner in a borda count election, however, this candidate will not be declared winner due to the point tally at the end of a borda count election.
Explanation:
The question fails to provide details of the election referenced in "question HW3". Notwithstanding, an attempt has been made to answer said question based on general principles
Borda count is a voting system in which voters rank the candidates in an order of preference. Points are given for the position of a candidate in a voter's rank order. The candidate with the most points wins.
The Borda count does not comply with the Condorcet criterion in the following case. Consider an election consisting of five voters and three alternatives, in which three voters prefer A to B and B to C, while two of the voters prefer B to C and C to A. The fact that A is preferred by three of the five voters to all other alternatives makes it a Condorcet Winner. However the Borda count awards 2 points for 1st choice, 1 point for second and 0 points for third. Thus, from three voters who prefer A, A receives 6 points (3 x 2), and 0 points from the other two voters, for a total of 6 points. B receives 3 points (3 x 1) from the three voters who prefer A to B to C, and 4 points (2 x 2) from the other two voters who prefer B to C to A. With 7 points, B is the Borda winner.
Answer:
a. yes there is a condorcet candidate in the election and is Ann. She defeated every other candidates in head to head competition.
b. The result does not violate the condorcet criterion.
Explanation:
based on the result of the election, Ann defeated every other candidates in the election head to head.
Ann vs. Bob:
11 + 6 = 17 voters rank Ann higher than Bob, while 7 + 8 + 1 = 16 voters rank Bob higher than Ann. Therefore Ann defeats Bob head to head, i.e. a majority of voters prefer Ann over Bob.
Ann vs. Claire:
11 + 6 = 17 voters rank Ann higher than Claire, while 7 + 8 + 1 = 16 voters rank Claire higher than Ann. Therefore Ann again defeats Claire head to head, i.e. a majority of voters prefer Ann over Claire. Claire is now out of the running to be a Condorcet candidate.
Ann vs. Dave:
7 + 8 + 6 = 21 voters rank Ann higher than Dave, while 11 + 1 = 12 voters rank Dave higher than Ann. Thus Ann defeats Dave head to head, i.e. a majority of voters prefer Ann over Dave. Behold!
Ann defeats all opponents in head to head competition, and is therefore a Condorcet candidate. According to the Condorcet criterion, Ann should win. [In general, in order to find out if a Condorcet candidate exists, we consider head to head competitions between candidates until a Condorcet candidate appears (because one candidate defeats all others head to head), or we find that there is none (because every candidate loses at least one head to head matchup). So Ann should win.
Two friends attribute their high math scores to their high level of effort and ability in math and their low Spanish scores to their teacher's subjective grading and favoritism.
In this situation, these students are exhibiting:
A) the actor-observer effect
B) the hindsight bias
C) scapegoating
D) equity
E) the self-serving bias
Answer:
E) the self-serving bias
Explanation:
The self-serving bias refers to people's inclination to attribute positive events or positive outcomes to their own character but attribute the negative events to external factors. It's a regular type of cognitive bias that has been broadly studied in social psychology.
For example; a student obtains a good grade on a test or positive exam results and tells himself that he studied hard or is good at that particular subject. He gets a bad grade on another test or gets a negative exam results and says the teacher doesn't like him or the test was unfair.
When Athletes win a game they attribute their win to hard work and practice, while when they lose they attribute the loss to some external factors beyond their control.
What are two instructional strategies can be taught in the classroom?
Instructional strategies serve both the interests of educators and students. These techniques, adopted by teachers, aim to make students more independent, with more autonomy. The proof of the success of such strategies occurs when the students themselves can determine which are the best methods of instruction for them, that is, when they are able to decide together with the teachers which will be the most efficient method.
Direct instruction
Also called the traditional method, it provides a teacher as a transmitter of knowledge, in a vertical organization. The educator is the center of teaching and he passes on the information to the class, exposing the content and making sure that the students have learned what is expected of them. The method includes repetition techniques, tests and examples. Although teaching plans that mix traditional and innovative techniques are currently advocated, it is likely that the good old lecture will remain in vogue for a long time.
Interactive instruction
As the name says, this strategy consists of creating teaching environments that stimulate the interaction between the teacher and the apprentices, opening possibilities for collaboration and constructive debates. The basis of this technique is multidirectional communication, with preference for group conversations and collective projects.
Learning by experience
The main aspect of this strategy is the focus on the learning process, centered on the student and with guided activities. Tests and tests lose importance and the student is dedicated to the development of skills. The aim is to increase students' motivation and ensure that they do not abandon the course, making classes more interesting within their personal contexts. To get students to reflect on their own learning, teachers must connect the content to their interests, in addition to knowing the background of the class and proposing personalized activities.
Independent study
Especially useful for distance education, the techniques of the independent study strategy serve those who need to take a more active role in their education. Students who participate in online classes or perform part of the course activities at home need autonomy, confidence and initiative. Although independent, teaching need not be lonely, and the student can benefit from group meetings, work in pairs and the exchange of experiences with colleagues in the same situation. The technology itself contributes to this communication, enabling the creation of online forums, sending instant messages and sharing jobs.
Explanation:
Instructional strategies are the techniques, adopted by teachers to help students to become more independent and strategic learners. These strategies motivate students and helps them to focus attention.
Cooperative learning: It involves students working in small groups to complete tasks or projects. It also plays important role in increasing student's respect for and understanding of each other's abilities, interests and needs.
Group discussions: Group discussions are an integral part that helps the students to articulate their views. They are essential for building background on specific issues, creating motivation and interests, and giving students a forum for expressing and exploring new ides and information.
Price of inputs technology taxes a number of producers in the industry are known as
a. Determines of demand
b. Factors of production
c. Determinants of supply
d. Producer expectations
The correct answer is letter C
Supply and demand are the two forces that guarantee the functioning of a market, determining prices and the quantity of products offered. The term offer refers to the quantity available of a product, that is, the quantity that companies want or can sell.
Supply is also basically determined by some important factors such as:
1. Product price
2. Competitive product prices (complementary too)
3. Price of factors or production resources (cost of inputs)
4. Available technology
5. Number of producers competitors operating in the market
6. Producers' expectations about future prices
7. Availability of credit for financing and working capital
8. Government policy (taxes and subsidies)
9. Climatic conditions (agriculture)
The determinants of joint supply define how much of a specific good the producers are willing to sell in a given period of time.
The correct answer is option c. Price of inputs technology taxes a number of producers in the industry are known as determinants of supply.
When the cost of inputs rises, it becomes more expensive to produce goods, and suppliers will likely supply less at any given price.
To clarify, let's define each option:
a. Determinants of demand refer to factors that influence the quantity demanded of a good or service at a given price, such as consumer preferences, income, prices of related goods, expectations about future prices, and the number of buyers in the market.
b. Factors of production are the resources used in the production of goods and services, which include land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship.
c. Determinants of supply are the factors that affect the willingness and ability of producers to supply a given quantity of a good or service at various prices. These include input prices (like raw materials and labor), technology, taxes and subsidies, producer expectations.
d. Producer expectations can also be a determinant of supply. If producers expect future prices to rise, they may withhold supply to sell later at a higher price, whereas if they expect prices to fall, they may increase supply now to avoid future losses.
What type of learning involves situation in which individuals actively work together on a task, constructing meaning and knowledge as a group through dialogue and negotiation resulting in a final product reflective of their joint, interdependent actions? 2. collaborative social engagement corporate culture
Answer:
Collaborative learning
Explanation:
Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. Collaborative learning skills help people to engage productively and effectively with each other within an organization. Successful teamwork necessitates a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect.
With collaborative learning methods performance are improved.
Answer: This type of learning is called "COLLABORATIVE LEARNING"
Explanation:Collaborative learning is a type of learning where people comes together to share thoughts and work to achieve a goal. This type of learning involves people coming together to do a task like a team, and not each individual learning on its own.
Collaborative learning is a "give and take" type of learning, because you teach your group and learn from your group also. Negotiation is also met using this learning system, because you try to learn the perspective of your opposition, and teach your opposition, your own perspective
It has been determined that John receives social reinforcers each time he shouts in class. The teacher wants to use a DRA procedure.
What would be an appropriate alternative behavior?
Answer:
The appropriate alternative behavior would be for John to be silent in the classroom.
Explanation:
DRA procedure is a term used to describe the set of techniques that seek to reduce undesirable behavior that happens frequently in a given individual, by exchanging undesirable behavior for an alternative and desirable behavior. The main objective, in this case, is to end or reduce the incidence of problematic, irritating behaviors that have bad results.
In the case shown in the question above, the DRA procedure can be used to make John quiet in the classroom, instead of shouting.
Answer: The appropriate alternative behavior, will be the use of "SOCIAL REINFORCEMENT WHENEVER HE IS TALKING QUIETLY".
Explanation: DRA means Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behavior. It is the process of reducing a behavior by reinforcing an alternative behavior.
Because John receives social reinforcement whenever he shouts, the alternative behavior to John's shouting is talking quietly. Therefore if DRA is to be used on John, the appropriate way is to reinforce his alternative behavior.
Social reinforcement is the use of incentives or praises to increase the occurrence of a behavior in an individual.
How does per capita GDP in the following countries "stack up" against America's (in percentage terms)? Instructions: Enter your responses as a percentage rounded to one decimal place. a. Japan: b. Saudi Arabia: c. Haiti:
Answer:
The answer is explained below
Explanation:
Per capita GDP of US in 2020 is expected to touch 56200 USD by the end of 2020 Per capita income is the average of the income earned by people of a country in a particular year. It is calculated by dividing the total income of country by its total population. GDP per capita in Japan is expected to reach 495000 USD by the end of first quarter of 2020 and it will reach around 50900 USD by the end of 2020. GDP per capita of Haiti is expected to be 765.00 USD by the end of 2020. It was 784 USD in 2019. GDP per capita of Saudi Arabia in 2019 was 197 USD , It is expected to reach 20912 USD in 2020.We can say that GDP per capita of USA is more than other three countries, it will still continue to be higher than GDP per capita of Japan in 2020.To compare Japan's, Saudi Arabia's, and Haiti's GDP per capita with that of the United States, calculate each country's GDP per capita and then express it as a percentage of the United States' GDP per capita, using the per capita GDP formula.
The question pertains to calculating and comparing GDP per capita as an indicator of the standard of living across different countries, specifically in comparison to the United States. The formula for calculating GDP per capita is clear: divide the GDP (in billions of U.S. dollars) by the population (in millions), first adjusting the GDP from billions to millions by multiplying by 1000. To compare the economies of Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Haiti against the United States in percentage terms, one would calculate the GDP per capita for each of these countries and then express it as a percentage of the United States' GDP per capita.
It is important to note that when comparing the economic performance or the standard of living between countries, GDP per capita is a commonly used metric. This per capita measure helps to account for differences in population sizes between countries and gives a better perspective on individual economic welfare.

Leaders at Cold Stone Creamery say they launched stores in Japan because Japanese consumers have Western brand awareness that enables them to comprehend the American ice cream experience. The leaders are making a case that:
Answer:
The leaders are making a case that Japan has the right customers for their brand
Explanation:
Before launching a business brand in a different location especially overseas it is appropriate to conduct market survey on how successful that business venture will strive in its new location. also all market factors like taxation, business approval and shipping tariffs should as well be considered.
The leaders are making a case that Japan has the right customer base for their brand because they have conducted their market research and discovered that Japan has western brand awareness hence an Ice cream brand coming in from America like cold stone creamery will strive in Japan.
The correct answer is Japan has the right customers for their brand
Speaking of the international market and its implications for the expansion of companies, one of the most important points to be discussed is, without a doubt, marketing. If the right strategies are adopted, it is possible to market a product anywhere on the planet.
When you want to expand your brand internationally the first step to be taken is to conduct market research. In this sense, it is essential to know the behavior, habits and characteristics of the target audience in the new country.
Therefore, it is very important to go beyond demographic data, which as a rule will vary very little from country to country. So, consider creating a persona profile for the market you want to reach. You will have much greater control over the information, further detailing the new audience.
In addition, from the detailed recognition of your new target audience, you will be able to more accurately identify your most unique needs and characteristics.
9. You want to set up an assay starting with a sliding clamp bound to DNA. What special property must the DNA have to establish binding between the sliding clamp and DNA? What other protein components must be in the reaction to ensure binding?
Answer:
The DNA must be able to separate its two strands in order to be connected to the sliding clamp.
For this to occur, the action of the protein components: helicase and topoisomerase is necessary.
Explanation:
The sliding clamp is a protein that participates in DNA replication. This protein is responsible for forming a "ring" around the single strand of DNA, allowing the polymer DNA (DNA replicating enzyme) to be firmly suited to the strand and to be able to create the new DNA strands. The sliding clamp is also responsible for the DNA polymerase decoupling from the DNA at the end of replication.
For the sliding clamp to work correctly, it is necessary for the DNA to unravel and release its two strands. This process needs the help of the Helicase enzymes, which are responsible for breaking the hydrogen bonds that hold the two DNA strands together, and, for topoisomerase, which is the enzyme that prevents single strands of DNA from creating torsions in their extension.
Andrea is an infant who lives in a house with parents who fight all the time and are contemplating divorce. She is exposed to frequent displays of anger. What can we predict about Andrea’s emotional regulation?
Answer:
Andrea is going to have difficulties regulating her emotions. She would be very affected and sensible to stressed situations, and she may have difficulties managing anger and other displays of emotions.
Explanation:
A child's family background normally affects children emotional responses. If Andrea or any other child is sourrounded by emotional stress and anger, she would be affected by it and it would cause her to have difficulties learning how to relgulate her own emotions.
Steve is unhappy with his job. He takes every possible vacation and sick day and sometimes shows up late for work. He is expressing his dissatisfaction through ________.
Question Options:
a. exit
b. voice
c. loyalty
d. social voice
e. neglect
Answer: The NEGLECT response.
Explanation: The neglect response is a type of conflict response that occurs when an individual by any means possible avoids an issue because they believe that things might get worse with their response. This is a model studied in organizational behaviour and comparative politics. The neglect response in an organisation's setting involves reducing work efforts, paying less attention to quality, and increasing absenteeism and lateness.
The correct answer is neglect
Neglect expresses carelessness, inattention or laziness. Negligence means carelessness, carelessness, lack of zeal, lack of application when performing a certain task, it is acting with irresponsibility when making a commitment. Neglect means inattention, contempt, disdain.
Negligence is also the demonstration of laziness, indolence and inertia, it is the lack of initiative.
Negligence is not synonymous with recklessness or malpractice. While negligence is the act of omitting, of acting in a sloppy, inattentive way, recklessness is the act of acting in a hasty way, of not being restrained or being moderate.
Choose the best description of the barrier listed.
Psychological barriers
(a) We "tune out" others’ ideas that run counter to our own preconceived thoughts.
(b) We become bored because we can process thoughts three times faster than speakers can present them.
(c) We fail to listen because we are just waiting for the next pause when we get to speak.
The correct answer is (A) We "tune out" others’ ideas that run counter to our own preconceived thoughts.
Explanation:
In listening and understanding, a psychological barrier occurs as our beliefs, opinions, ideas, feelings, preconceptions and inner thoughts interrupt the process of listening, and therefore disrupt understanding. These barriers are unique in each person and due to this, these are one of the most difficult barriers to overcome as individuals need to be aware of their feelings, beliefs, etc. that prevent them from listening effectively and understanding.
According to this ideas, the statement that describes psychological barriers is "We "tune out" others’ ideas that run counter to our own preconceived thoughts" because psychological barriers include ideas or preconceived thoughts that stop us from listening effectively; and in this context, it is common we do not listen to speakers that show ideas or beliefs that are opposite from ours.
_____ are unconscious, taken-for-granted perceptions or ideal prototypes of behavior that are considered the correct way to think and act toward problems and opportunities.
Answer:
Shared assumptions.
Explanation:
As per the question, 'shared assumptions' are demonstrated as the 'unconscious and presupposed perceptions or the prefect prototypes of the behavior that are regarded as the appropriate way to think about a particular problem or opportunity or act in such situations.' These are the basis of any organizational culture as they form the common base of perceptions, behaviors, or beliefs that are shared by almost every member part of the culture. These beliefs or assumptions are so deeply embedded that they have been taken-for-granted and remain unnoticed despite being an inherent part of the culture.
What makes us help other people? Are the variables that make us more likely to help others genetic or environmental? Using research from the Shapiro Library, explain which factor—genetics or the environment—is more powerful in regards to helping behavior. Support your perspective using research and examples. Also, consider the strongest or most valid points that may be raised against your argument and counter them.
Explanation:
There are many reasons why people help each other. In some cases this is due to the fact that human beings have a feeling of empathy, which corresponds to putting themselves in the other person's shoes and therefore being motivated to help them when necessary. There are also ethical values that are shared by society, that we must act with solidarity and help those in need.
It is correct to say that genetic and environmental variables increase the likelihood that one person will help another, but the environmental factor may be stronger in the case of unexpected events, such as an environmental and social tragedy, conflicts, etc.
It is important to establish a sense of empathy in society, it is through it that relationships happen in a better way and people can live better and be happier.
Helping behavior is shaped by both genetics and the environment. A genetic inclination towards altruism can be influenced by the environment one is raised in and currently lives in.
The propensity to help others is influenced by a combination of genetic predispositions and environmental factors. Research in behavioral genetics has shown that certain personality traits, such as empathy and agreeableness, which are associated with prosocial behavior, have a heritable component.
One of the key pieces of research supporting the role of genetics is the finding that heritability accounts for about 50% of the variance in prosocial behavior. This indicates that genetic factors contribute substantially to individual differences in helping behavior.
On the other hand, the other 50% of the variance is attributed to non-shared environmental factors, which include all environmental influences that are not shared by siblings in the same family, such as unique experiences, friendships, and personal life events.
A strong point that might be raised against the argument that genetics play a significant role is the phenomenon of situational influence. The presence of bystanders, the perceived cost of helping, and the degree of distress of the person in need can all dramatically affect whether an individual chooses to help.
To counter this argument, it is important to recognize that while situational factors can have a strong influence, they interact with an individual's genetic makeup. For instance, someone genetically predisposed to high empathy might be more sensitive to cues of distress and therefore more likely to help regardless of situational factors.
Western culture in the period 1300–1550 more: the Black Death’s emphasis on the afterlife (the hereafter) or the Renaissance’s emphasis on human achievement (the here and now)? Choose one of these and explain your perspective. Start with a statement identifying your choice; this is your thesis. Then, support your choice with specific examples from at least three of the following categories: significant individuals (e.g., political or religious leaders, innovators, explorers); characteristics of worldview (e.g., philosophy, religion); social institutions (e.g., social mores, practices, hierarchies); patronage (discuss the patrons, their motives, influence, and resulting products or artifacts); the economies (e.g., changes, different economic systems, impact); and politics (e.g., forms of governance, power distributions, contests).
One of the most significant contributions of Western culture to the world during these years is that of the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a new artistic, philosophical, and political movement that changed the way in which Europe thought about itself and the world. The Renaissance emphasized the importance of the individual, and that of human experience, as opposed to the afterlife. This led to the study of humanity and human experience. An example of a Renaissance thinker is Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci studied humanity with an anatomical and physiological approach. However, he also looked at humanity from an artistic and emotional perspective. Many artists and thinkers such as Da Vinci were only able to complete their work due to the support of patrons. Patrons were wealthy people who invested their money in financing the works of artists, thinkers and other people of talent.
Damien likes to put all sorts of things, like bugs, dirt, and shoelaces, in his mouth. He also likes playing with his toy train; however, he seems to lose interest in playing with the train whenever his brother hides it. Damien is most likely in the ________ stage of development.
Answer:
Sensorimotor stage of development
Explanation:
Piaget's theory of cognitive development has four stages of development and sensorimotor is the first stage of child development. At sensorimotor stage the child learns by assimilation and accommodation, he/she tries to know the environment by using the senses. This period lasts for the first two years of the child's birth.
Damien puts those things in the mouth just to have a feel of them by sucking them. When he sees the toy train he plays with it but when he did not sense it he loses interest. Damien behaviour illustrates a child in the sensorimotor stage of development.
In a test of the relationship between exercise and mood, one group of participants is subjected to a 1-hour aerobics workout in a room with windows, and a second group of participants is assigned to a room without windows to watch a video of people exercising for an hour. The researcher finds that people in the aerobics class rate themselves as happier than those in the video viewing condition. What can we conclude from the study?
Answer:
That it could be exercise and the presence of windows that impacted mood.
Explanation:
According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
That exercise boosts mood.That it could be exercise and the presence of windows that impacted mood.That mood affects commitment to exercise.That happy people exercise.In this experiment, one group received windows and exercise, while the second one received no windows and a video. After the conclusion of the experiment, the first group appeared to be happier. As there are two different variables that changed between the two groups, it is not possible to determine with one caused the happiness. Therefore, it could both be exercise and the presence of windows that impacted mood.
Answer: I can conclude from the study that it could be exercise and the presence of window that impact mood.
Explanation:
How would a psychoanalyst describe the therapeutic value of facing the original stressor that lead a person to suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder?

Once a month, Morgan buys a case of wine. She will either buy the Charles Shaw brand, the Livingston brand, or the Sutter Home brand because she knows that these three brands are inexpensive and tasty. She considers only these three options when selecting her wine. For Morgan, the three brands of wine are a(n):
Answer: An evoked set
Explanation: An evoked set is defined as alternatives that a consumer considers before making a decision concerning purchase. They are a set of brands that comes to a consumer's mind when s/he thinks of purchasing a product. They are the group of brands most likely to be purchased by consumers. In order to judge the features and benefits of her evoked set, Morgan uses "inexpensive and taste" as standards.
The goal of all marketers is for their brand to be part of an evoked set which has been narrowed down from a total and awareness set.
Answer:
An evoked set
Explanation:
Evoked set is a set of brands that comes to a consumer’s mind when he thinks of purchasing a product. Morgan only thinks or considers only these options of three brands when she buys a case of wine, which is Charles Shaw, Livingston or the Sutter. It really doesnt matter if these brands are inexpensive or expensive or tasty or not tasty. As far as Morgan selects these set. These set of brands is known as an evoked set
Reciprocal altruism is likely to flourish in situations a. where the individual being helped is likely to return the favor in the future. b. of extreme stress. c. where the reward is more emotional than physical. d. that have a high cost-benefit ratio.
Final answer:
Reciprocal altruism thrives when individuals assist others with the expectation of future reciprocation, enhancing survival and the probability of receiving aid in return.
Explanation:
Reciprocal altruism is a social behavior where individuals help each other with the expectation that those being helped will eventually reciprocate. This concept is especially likely to flourish in situations a. where the individual being helped is likely to return the favor in the future. The success of reciprocal altruism is based on the premise that by assisting others, the likelihood of receiving aid in return increases, thereby enhancing survival and reproductive success over time. Those who fail to reciprocate may face social repercussions, like exclusion, which may dissuade cheaters and reinforce the cycle of altruism within the community.
Which of the following was true of the Federalists Party?
A. It supported industry and trade
B. It was more popular in the South
C. It gained the support of farmers in isolated areas
D. It wanted to limit the power of the central government
The correct answer is letter D
Federalism is a form of organization of the State in which there is a government that exercises the functions of a centralizing State. But at the same time that there is a central power, there is a division of power between the units that form it.
These units, when they are united and regulated by a common Federal Constitution, form a Federal State.
In Federalism, the division of power occurs through delegation, that is, the central political power is shared by each of the federative units.
In practice, this form of organization means that there are different poles of administration that are divided within a country. Power is distributed among the territories that form the state.
Dr. Morelli investigates how gene activity is regulated within a cell, including what signals switch genes "on" or "off." In general, she is interested in the mechanisms that control gene expression and its effect on behavior and health. Her area of research is called:
The correct answer is epigenetics
Epigenetics is a term referred to as extra genetic information that, with the help of chromatin and DNA modifications, helps or inhibits certain genes. Gene expression follows an order: DNA-> RNA (transcription) -> Protein.
Epigenetics consists of modifications of the genetic functions that are inherited, but which in turn do not alter the individual's DNA sequence. As all cells in the body contain the same genes, epigenetics serves as a means of controlling the functions of each gene, according to the cell.
Her area of research is called EPIGENETICS.
Epigenetics can be defined as the study of the processes involved in the genetic development of an organism, especially the activation and deactivation of genes. It is the study of heritable changes caused by the activation and deactivation of genes without any change in DNA sequence.

John McCormick describes and analyzes Liberal Democracies. His description includes a comparative analysis of different types of democracies-elite v. group or pluralist. My question is, which of the theories of democracy seems most compelling when applied to the British and American systems: elitism, pluralism, or perhaps a combination of the two?
Answer:
Pluralism with a touch of elitism
Explanation:
Classical pluralism learns us that, although politics are made mostly in the framework of government, non-governmental groups do exercise certain amount of influence in the decision making of a country. So we can say that British and American systems follow pluralistic roads but...
... we cannot deny a certain influence of Elite groups in both countries, probably more present in the U.S. than in England. I personally remember that Hillary Clinton for example was judged too elitarian, in the meaning that she represented (and defended) a elite and very powerful minority.
Final answer:
The theories of democracy most compelling when applied to the British and American systems are a combination of elitism and pluralism. While pluralism underscores interest group competition, elitism reflects concentration of power in a few hands. Both systems display traits indicative of democratic liberalism, balancing individual rights with representation.
Explanation:
When analyzing democratic systems, particularly those in the British and American contexts, elitism and pluralism offer compelling theories of democracy. Pluralism highlights the role of competing interest groups in ensuring representation. However, it overlooks the uneven levels of influence among these groups, with entities like the National Rifle Association and the American Medical Association often wielding disproportionate sway. In contrast, elitism suggests power resides with a few, be they economic, governmental, or military leaders, or even among a select socioeconomic class.
Considering the British parliamentary democracy and the American presidential system, elements of both theories are observable. The US political ideology spectrum, characterized by a range from liberal to conservative views, along with voter apathy, suggests a complex interplay wherein elite interests could dominate despite the pluralist structure.
Within the British context, the presence of the monarchy, albeit ceremonial, and the consolidation of power within a parliamentary elite may also reflect elitist tendencies, alongside a pluralist system where multiple parties compete for influence.
Democratic liberalism has emerged as an ideology that merges capitalism and individual rights with democratic principles, defending minority rights against potential majoritarian aggression. This ideology underpins both the British and American systems, which are essentially representative democracies balancing power across various branches and safeguarding individual liberties.

Answer:
This question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
Vance has been at his job as a department manager for four years. During this time, Vance has continually been abused by his supervisor; however, he has continued to do his job well. If Vance's motivation falters, what behavior is Vance most likely to exhibit?
A) begin showing up for work late
B) bring everyone donuts
C) stop attending the monthly directors meeting
D) both A and C
E) each A, B, and C
Answer:
D) both A and C
Explanation:
Workplace bullying and abuse is a constant pattern of maltreatment and even oppression from others in the workplace which causes either physical or emotional harm. It can involve such tactics as psychological, physical, verbal, nonverbal, abuse and humiliation.
In this case Vance will want to stay away from having a contact with his boss by staying away from attending the monthly directors meeting and also showing up for work late.
If Vance's motivation falters due to continuous abuse by his supervisor, he may exhibit a range of behaviors from reduced productivity to intimidating behavior or sabotage, or he might withdraw or resign from his job.
Explanation:Regarding Vance, who has continually been abused by his supervisor but has maintained performance, if his motivation falters, he is most likely to exhibit changes in behavior that could range from decreased productivity to more severe forms of workplace violence. Behaviors such as intimidating behavior, threats, or even sabotaging equipment are warning signs often preceded by ongoing issues such as Vance faces.
However, another possible outcome could be internalization, resulting in withdrawal or resignation, especially if Vance feels a lack of perceived control, few opportunities for advancement, and overwhelming stress. The end result will be highly individual and dependent upon Vance's personal coping mechanisms and external support systems.
