Availability Heuristic

A heuristic is a mental shortcut that we often use to make judgments and decisions. Availability heuristic is based on the principle that the first things come to our mind when evaluating certain topics, events, and methods, must be the based on the more common occurrences, or must be more important than other available alternatives which do not easily come to mind.

The problem with this type of mental shortcut, however, is that it can easily be influenced or biased towards vivid, dramatic events, or recent news and information, especially those sensationalized by the media. 

For example, people might take more precaution against murder and car accidents compared to illnesses such as diabetes and stomach cancer, as the two former are more sensationalized or are often reported in the news than the latter two. However, statistics show that in America, these illness actually take twice as much lives than murder and car accidents (source: http://study.com/academy/lesson/availability-heuristic-examples-definition-quiz.html).

How does the​ audience impact how Frederich Engels and Karl Marx present their ideas​?
algol13

Answer:

The intended audience of the communist manifesto were urban workers. Because the manifesto was first published in German, the more specific audience were German urban workers. Germany was industrializing very fast at the time, so the potential audience was quite large.

Because the working class is not necessarily as intellectual as a doctor in philosophy like Karl Marx was, or a successful businessman and writer like Engels, the language that Marx and Engels use in the manifesto is clear, simple, and the main intention is to explain, briefly and clearly, their ideas about society, about the economy, and about the situation of the working class and their relationship with the capitalist class.

Because it is a manifesto, its main goal is to promote an idea, and an action: the idea was that capitalism is a mode of production that exploits the working class, and therefore, is unfair, and the action was the mobilization of the working class against capitalism, and for the promotion of another social system (first socialism, then communism).

Hope this helps, have a wonderful day/night, stay safe, happy holidays, and merry christmas!
