Lever

Keynes economic theory was heavily influenced by the economic principals of fiscal policy and the government using checks and balances to regulate the ever changing economy. Keynes did not believe that the private sector would always or even generally make decisions that would benefit the economy or other people as a whole. Keynesian theory could be summed up by the beliefs of the fiscal policy system. Fiscal Policy is how the government uses checks and balances to help regulate and protect…

If a quick spot transition is required, there is a shutter lever on the top of the spotlight; it is the middle lever (or the second furthest from you). The shutter closes the light from the stage, preventing unnecessary stress on the spotlight that comes from turning the lamp switch on and off. When the spot is no longer necessary during…

completes the task. The dog associates the word with the action, and later expects the treat after he sits. An experiment of operant conditioning includes the “skinner box”, which contains a lever for rats or disk for pigeons. The lever or disk would dispense food after being pressed, then the amount of times the lever was pressed were recorded. This presents a positive reinforcement in operant conditioning (Speilman, 2014, sect.…

So as to examine classical and operant conditioning, it required to first define the topic from which they are obtained, that is learning. “Learning is any comparatively durable change in behavior produced by an experience.” Operant and Classical conditioning are two of several theories on learning which take the behaviorist approach. “Classical conditioning is a relationship of one event with another that marks in a pattern of behavior.” Operant conditioning is “learning that happens as a…

If you want to be a good hunter, you must have the proper gear to do the job. The first and most important items are a firearm and ammunition. The type of gun you will need would be a rifle, shotgun, or a handgun, if you are hunting small game. Some of the best types of rifles are a savage model 99dl or a Winchester 94. A good shot gun would be either a Browning, Beretta, or a Winchester. The special features of these shotguns are that they are very good for hunting birds because they shoot…

1967).The premise of the trolley problem is that there are two tracks. On the first track there is a train headed towards a group of five people and on the second is one person. Whoever is being asked the question must decide whether or not to pull a lever that results in the train diverting and killing the single person rather than the five. Essentially, the hypothetical situation asks if it is the ethical decision to not intervene—resulting in the death of five people—or intervene by either…

A runaway trolley will kill five people if it stays on its current path. I have the option to pull a lever and divert the trolley to an alternate track. In this case, it will only kill one person. What should I do? This is the trolley problem, a classic thought experiment whose outcome has numerous applications. For example, I may ask whether it is morally permissible to kill one person and harvest his organs to save five other people. Using the teachings of John Stuart Mill and Immanuel Kant,…

Ethics has a great impact on people whenever they are facing a difficult or biased situation. It depends on what ethical philosophies that people believe in, which would justify their actions towards a specific problem. The goal of this paper is to reflect the different responses of bystanders under two different ethical approaches, which are the utilitarianism or the deontology approach. According to the textbook (Introducing Philosophy through Pop Culture: From Socrates to South Park, Hume to…

“Roger, with a sense of delirious abandonment, leaned all his weight on the lever” and right then, the lever released a rock which killed Piggy (Golding 180), a crucial character in William Golding’s Novel Lord of the Flies. Golding’s novel features a group of boys from about six to fifteen years old who are marooned on an island where their plane crashed. The boys all agree that they need to survive, but their ways of doing so divides them. One of the boys, Ralph, proposes that they as a group…

The experiment examined the reward magnitude and negative contrast effects on rats operant-lever response performance. The experimental design was both between and within subject design. The subjects were eight Sprague Dawkey females rats who were randomly assigned to a group that received 16% of sucrose ( n=4) and another group received 4% of sucrose ( n=4) which was the control group of the experiment. Both groups were deprived of water for 23 hours and had food access. The preshift sessions…
