Attitudes vary from strong to weak, confident to unsettled, extreme to mild, and they are as diverse as the behavior they influence. Social scientific research has aimed at tackling the age-old questions of how and when attitudes influence behavior. What kinds of attitudes influence judgment and behavior most? Under what circumstances do attitude-behavior correspondence occur most often? What processes and pathways do attitudes follow to influence behavior? The MODE ((Motivation and Opportunity…

“Times have changed and they’ve changed in this case for the better”, by Ann Gutmann. This quote reflects the individual’s experiences being compared between a Native American female and an African American female. Charlotte Forten was an African-American girl that attended a private school in New England. Mary Brave Bird, a Native American woman, raised by her grandparents on a South Dakota reservation. As an activist, she endured and encountered some violent events and was able to survive…

the film, Life is Beautiful, director Roberto Benigni showcases the absurd nature of racial vilification through the anti-Semitic belief and actions of the Fascists. By employing cinematic techniques and stylistic features, man’s inhumanity is made explicit through the dehumanising effects of war on innocent lives. Despite inhumane conditions being present amongst humanity, through the protagonist Guido Orefice, Benigni highlights that such horrendous suffering also has the power to elicit the…

Tacit consent is accepted as the most nuanced consent theory and is the idea that consent is given through the presence or absence of certain actions. It contrasts to express consent, in which a direct, explicit response is given to indicate consent. Consent is said to be tacit when “it is given by remaining silent and inactive” (Simmons 1976 p. 279). Tacit consent for Simmons (1976), therefore, is distinguished by the way it is expressed. This is the factor…

unprecedented 20 game winning streak (IMDB, 2011). Because of Beane’s trade of the one traditional player, he forced Howe to move through the denial and resistance stages to begin the exploration stage. In this case, Beane used explicit and implicit coercion to overcome Howe’s resistance. Explicit and implicit coercion’s advantages include quickness and overpowers the resistance, however its disadvantages include riskiness if people are angered (Palmer et al., 2016). It is best used when…

Introduction Perceptions about the severity of rape encompass considerations about the liability of the victim and perpetrator, assessments of motives, and numerous psychological consequences (Ben-David & Schneider, 2005). In a rape-supportive culture, minimizations of harshness of rape can be asserted by refusal to label the situation as rape or by characterizing the situation as not being psychologically damaging which is a violation of the rights of the victim (Glass, 2002). Traditional sex…

As Boyd (2015) explains, constitutional law is special in that it cannot be subjected to alteration through “the mere passage of new law through the House of Commons and the Senate” (p. 98). On the surface, this fact appears to guarantee respect for the authority of the rights laid out in the Constitution. This is significant because constitutional law supposedly, in the words of Cheffins and Tucker (as cited in Boyd, 2015), is a “mirror reflecting the national soul” (p. 98). However, many…

leads users to not only more extreme drugs, and more extreme quantities of those drugs. When it comes to pornography, the user will begin with mildly suggestive images. As tolerance is built, this enjoyment will fade, and the user will seek more explicit material to obtain the desired effect. Tolerance is then built again; the satisfaction fades, and the process will continue. This process is the reason people eventually pursue dangerous and taboo forms of sexuality. (Ford, Durtschi & Franklin,…
