    Introduction According to Scarborough et al. (2010), fear of crime and terrorism are arguably more destructive to society and individual’s lives than the acts themselves. Not only does crime and terrorism related anxiety reduce life satisfaction amongst individuals, but also can lead to increasingly authoritarian policy in response to public fear (Grabosky, 1995). For example, widespread fear in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States provided legitimacy and justification for…

    Odds Model A binary logistic regression model estimates the odds and the probability of experiencing an event for the dichotomous outcome variable on a set of predictors. The logistic regression model is defined as: ln(Y′) = logit [π(x)] = ln = α + β1X1 + β2X2 + …+ βpXp. (1) where logit [π(x)] is the log odds of success, and the odds is a ratio between the probability of having an event and the probability of not having that event. By extending binary logistic…

    Is life a simulation? People say life is a mystery and is not susceptible to anything except for death. Most say that there is even life after death. But what if all of that was just futile. That we were not even real. That we are just a dream or a simulation of some other world. This is the topic that could make most confused or skeptical and make some question our very existence. Are we real? Do we have free will? Is life a simulation? Almost nothing today can run such a sophisticated program…

    (23). Despite the probability of reality, theater can be what the actor chooses it to be.

Drama can either provide an outlet for those who partake in it, or it can embody the harsh truth that reality is absurd. Thus, the Tragedians take on the role of major characters in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern because they are capable of facing probability, while…

    Let’s say that we have calculated effectiveness (assuming PD=0,8; PA=0,9; PI=0,6; PN=0,4) and it equals to 0,8 x 0,9 x 0,6 x 0,4 =0,1728. Remember, the conditional risk formula? Assuming again, that probability of attack and relative consequences both equal 1,0, conditional risk R= 1,0 x (1 – 0,1728) x 1,0 = 0,8272 ( or we can say that the risk equals 83% if rounded). Is it a lot? It depends on conversion table we will use to present numerical value as adjectival. And what it is mean? For…

    bias our perception of the frequency of events because what we hear more frequently has our mind recall false information at times, without considering all the facts. Availability heuristic explains the mental shortcut of the brain that judges probability of events by how quick and easy an event is recalled. There are eleven biases that influence us and two that explain availability heuristic. Bias one is ease of recall and references how the commonness of an event makes it easier for…
