George P. Shultz

George Shultz has had a quite remarkable career moving from the academic world, to government, then to business, and back again to government. One might hypothesize that his success in these very different venues rested to some extent on his skills in learning the right lessons from his experiences. What actions did he take to continue learning throughout his long career? Shultz had an ability to seek out new experiences such that “spiraled learning” occurred, whereby lessons were gleaned from previous experiences and applied to new and ever-more-pressing ones. This led to a breadth and depth of experience that served as a foundation throughout his career. If new experiences had not been so actively sought and a “learner’s mentality”…

His soft touch rubbing against my body was slowly fading away. The sparkle in his eye was gone. Our conversations that lasted for hours now only lasted for seconds. The way he looked at me, touched me, and talked to me was not the same. We both started to feel an unfilled, unloved, uninterested emotion in our relationship. Having these feelings, we both put ourselves in situations that we knew were morally wrong. We not only hear it, but we also see incidents of disloyalty in relationships more…

Autocorrelation is not expected to be an issue with the model, given that the it is not using time series data, and it can therefore be assumed that there is no autocorrelation present in the model. To make sure that there is no perfect collinearity present in the model, it is recommended to run a collinearity test of the model (see: Exhibit 1.1). If a variable generate a VIF (Variance Inflation Factors) value above 10.0, the model might have a collinearity problem and attempts to correct the…

In Plato’s Gorgias, Socrates and Callicles engage in a debate about what it means to be happy and to live a flourishing life. According to Callicles, a person is happy and flourishing when he or she is living as ambitiously as he or she possibly can. Living the good life includes chasing one satisfaction after another and having a constant influx of pleasure. In contrast, Socrates emphasizes on the idea of eudaimonia, according to which a happy and flourishing person is one that lives an…

Null hypothesis The null hypothesis, which is symbolically expressed as H0, is a statement that indicates no difference between a parameter and a specific value or between two parameters. Alternative Hypothesis The alternative hypothesis, which is symbolically expressed as HA or H1, is a statement that indicates the presence of a difference between a parameter and a specific value or between two parameters. Decision Rules On testing the null hypothesis, two main decision rules are plausible.…

This paper looks to discuss Nozick’s experience machine. The paper begins by reconstructing Nozick’s experiment, and explains its consequences. The paper then argues that the experiment is actually consistent with hedonism, as by expanding on the definition of pleasure we see that by not plugging in we are actually doing the more pleasurable act. Nozick experiment asks us to imagine a machine that once connected to allows for us to experience the greatest possible pleasures. The machine then…
