assume) innocent little girl. For me, the implication of a hidden message is that the Caribu did not care who was affected by this image. The lack of concern for others shows a form of arrogant, which also connivances me that this product was meant for the upper class society. The significant of this ad was the extreme visual of the killing of an animal by some one that’s not fully aware of her actions. However, the unplanned significant is that these type of ads has shown companies that society will not stand for public abnormity. When it is all said and done the ad of Caribu will not be remembered for its product or its name, but for the peculiar image of abnormal behavior of a little girl. This ad had the effect of lighten bolts which shock the consumers and open their eyes to a form of evil; this led to sympathy for the characters in the ad and a public outcry for its removal. Whenever trying to ride the wall of unorthodox and orthodox behavior there is a thin line that if crossed, will be an interruption in our everyday routine. In my view, the most satisfactory explanation is that Caribu wanted to be noticed, because the antics of the controversial advisement. Others might emphasize the explanation of difference in culture, but I find this less convincing because of the use of a little girl and this I believe is a contradictory issue in any culture. This is more of a humane issue rather than cultural differences one. The view of protecting our young ones from the evil…

Before the start of the experiment a Slight shock of 45V is administered to the participant in order to show him what the Learner will be experiencing and to further portray the experiment as authentic (Milgram, 1963). However, the participant is not aware that this will be the only real shock in the experiment. The confederate will not be shocked because he is an actor in the situation (Milgram, 1963). He does act as if being shocked, however. In the Voice Feedback condition the Learner starts…
Our data cover sixteen major industrial sectors from nine countries in the Trans-Pacific region. We apply a factor-augmented vector autoregression (FAVAR) approach (Bernanke, Boivin, and Eliasz, 2005) to reduce the dimension of our data and to simulate the transmission of shocks from the Trans-Pacific region to the US. FAVAR has two advantages compared with traditional VAR. First, it can incorporate a broader set of information related to the unknown transmission mechanism by utilizing…
There would be a hole from the memory being erased, such as in the movie Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind when Clementine said, “Nothing makes any sense to me! NOTHING MAKES ANY SENSE!” This was tested when a scientist played a tone for a rat before it was shocked. On an episode from the scientific podcast Radiolab titled "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Rat" Jad Abumrad said, “The moment it hears the tone and feels the shock, inside its head, a bunch of neurons start to build. Whenever…

In this article “The Peril of Obedience” Stanley Milgram conducted a series of experiments to determine if people would choose to follow authority or obey their morals. In this series of experiments the experimenter Stanley Milgram found a few contributors to test out his theory. Before he started his experiment he had to pick a teacher and a student, who each got a piece of paper to decide which one is going to give the shocks and which one was going to take the shocks. The learner was strapped…
and internal attribution. Occurrences of learned helplessness take place in individuals who have this idea in their mind that none of their actions are within their control due to explicit punishment dealt by a guardian or person in a position of power or whomever, the irony being that guardian 's actions is actually out of the victims control.

It was October 9th, 2013, the day that I and my family moving to the United States from Vietnam and started a new life here. I heard and learned many things about this country before but I was astonished experiencing the country myself. As soon as I discovered there was nothing like I expected, I was anxious and homesick. I wondered how long it would take me to adapt to this new culture and the people. Only a couple months passed, but I already experienced several culture shocks such as…
willing to provide electrical shocks to another person, the experiment tested how far down the severity of shocks the subject would administer to the victim. The question is would being in the position of control and having a feeling as if the subject cannot leave, makes shocking another person justifiable? To begin the experiment, a total of 40 male subjects all ranging within age, education levels, and different races participated in what they thought was a “Study of memory and learning at…
