operant conditioning and reinforcement to train the other. Operant conditioning is using reinforcement to change the behavior. The reinforcement or reward is given after the desired behavior is completed. The rat in Skinner’s box randomly pressed the lever and was rewarded with the food. Babies learn that when they are hungry, they cry-operant conditioning; mom feeds them-reward. Parents also use this to teach children the correct behavior. If the children do their chores or homework, they are…

Morality and the proper way in which one is able to come to an ethical conclusion has been an issue up for debate for philosophers and their theories throughout history. The issue of morality and the proper way in which one is expected to behave in various circumstances is argued throughout many theories, including utilitarianism and deontology. In my first paragraph, I will be explaining the trolley problem, while in the second and third, I will discuss the way in which utilitarianism and…

This essay will discuss how the behaviourism theory can explain human behaviour. Psychology is the science of behaviour, mind, experience and mental processes. ‘All behaviour is observable and measurable’, it is what we say and do or what we see or hear, meaning the behaviour of a child or an adult is observable if they express how they feel. There are different theories that behaviourist use that help psychology describe human behaviour, for example the behaviouristic theory which expands…

counterfactual dependance. In our case of the trolley problem for example, we might not believe that there is counterfactual dependance between the pulling of the lever (the first event), and the person on the track dying (the third). However we would surely agree that there is a linking series of counterfactual dependancies. First, had the lever not been pulled, then the train would not have switched onto the bystanders track, and had it not switched onto the bystanders track, the bystander…

just look out for ourselves. Although humans have a pretty good reputation the sad truth is, we are very selfish, and when push comes to shove take care of themselves rather than others. In the famous trolley situation with the lever and five people, I would pull the lever because I couldn’t see the 5 people die and that seemed to be the best answer for me. In the second situation I wouldn’t push the person because one it is illegal and two I would be killing this person. In this situation I…

I think that consequences are not the only things that matter when deciding if an action is morally right or wrong. There are many factors that should be considered when determining the morality of an action. For example, it’s important to consider how the action could affect you or the people around you. Consequences are important, but not every action that produces a good consequence is morally right. Consequences are only the results of our actions, and although they have some say in the…

Learn in 10 minutes on how to turn on fog lights Why is it important to understand about fog lights? As the name suggests, Fog lights in a car are for you to get the required visibility while driving through mist or thick fog. You can also use them in other conditions when the visibility is limited. The fog light units are separate units from the headlights. The headlights don't help for visibility in the fog as they reflect off the fog or dust causing glare. A common question the new drivers…

“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…
