The theorist who believed that children learn language when they are reinforced by parental attention was B.F.Skinner.

B.F.Skinner was a celebrated American psychologist who advanced the behaviorist theory of learning. This theory is based on the idea that learning occurs through a method of ‘conditioning’, which when stimulus, rewards, and punishments are combined to drive the learning process.

The conditioning relies on what Skinner calls reinforcement. Reinforcement is of two types, namely positive reinforcers, which are the rewards after meeting a target, and negative reinforcers, which refers to the unpleasant consequences of failing to meet the target.

Actions that are followed by negative reinforcers tend to weaken, while those followed by positive reinforcers tend to be repeated. For example, children can be encouraged to learn language if they receive consistent positive reinforcement from their parents every time they learn a new word or phrase.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

You should think about fair competition.

Explanation:

The ethics question here would be: Is the contribution I'm willing to pay to get the contract a bribery? So, if there are better firms than mine but they don't have the money to pay the contribution, does it mean I get preferential treatment because I can afford it? Wouldn't it be considered unfair by many?

This a common practice in business and although seen morally wrong by many, it is the only way to ensure some contracts are signed. People who advocate this way of dealing with allocating contracts say that it is a fair way, everybody has the opportunity in life to make money and some people would always make more than others. Critics say that it's unfair, especially for smaller firms and developing companies, as their chances to win big contracts are being reduced drastically.

Josh sits in his kitchen in the city projects trying to sip his coffee while inhaling the nauseating fumes wafting from the town

ASHA 777 [7]

A sociologist would likely call this phenomenon as environmental racism. The environmental racism involves of having to point out injustice with mixed racial context in the environment. It could be seen from Josh’s actions and behavior as he views the environment differently and that he wants to move but he couldn't and he probably thinks that he is living in a place like that solely because he is from a poor part of the town.
