Answer: The correct answer is: "Correll and colleagues (2002) designed a video game in which participants played the role of police officers and decided whether or not to "shoot" a target person who appeared on their computer screen. The participants' reaction times indicated that they were <u>faster to decide to shoot armed black targets first than white ones, and they hesitated when they had to decide not to shoot unarmed black targets.</u>"

Explanation:

This could have happened due to the prejudice that is related to the black color. For many people the black color represents negative situations, sadness, death, darkness, bad people. For that reason, when the participants saw the unarmed black targets they hesitated about shooting or not because they thought they should shoot them anyway (because of their color) and ignore the fact if they were armed or not.

Answer:

The participants' reaction times indicated that they were faster to decide to shoot armed black than white targets and slower to decide to not shoot unarmed black than white targets.

Explanation:

Correll et. al. state in their study that "using a simple videogame, the effect of ethnicity on shoot/don't shoot decisions was examined. African American or White targets, holding guns or other objects, appeared in complex backgrounds. Participants were told to "shoot" armed targets and to "not shoot" unarmed targets. In Study 1, White participants made the correct decision to shoot an armed target more quickly if the target was African American than if he was White, but decided to "not shoot" an unarmed target more quickly if he was White. Using a simple videogame, the effect of ethnicity on shoot/don't shoot decisions was examined. African American or White targets, holding guns or other objects, appeared in complex backgrounds. Participants were told to "shoot" armed targets and to "not shoot" unarmed targets. In Study 1, White participants made the correct decision to shoot an armed target more quickly if the target was African American than if he was White, but decided to "not shoot" an unarmed target more quickly if he was White.

Study 2 used a shorter time window, forcing this effect into error rates. Study 3 replicated Study 1's effects and showed that the magnitude of bias varied with perceptions of the cultural stereotype and with levels of contact, but not with personal racial prejudice.

Study 4 revealed equivalent levels of bias among both African American and White participants in a community sample."

What is an energy issue our society faces today?
sleet_krkn [62]
Clean energy vs. dirty energy. Renewable energy.The biggest challenge faced by America in 2016 is that of moving our energy use away from fossil fuels in order to address climate change.There is overwhelming scientific consensus that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to use of fossil fuels is warming earth’s climate, and will result in sea level rise, loss of agricultural areas and increasingly severe weather events. The challenge is to create the political will to take aggressive action consistent with this knowledge by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
<span>The EPA’s Clean Power Plan, and recent Paris agreement are steps in the right direction, but aren’t sufficient to put us on a safe path. We can achieve a greater reduction of carbon emissions by creating incentives which work throughout the economy to encourage conservation and a shift to low-carbon energy. Incentives such as a tax on fossil carbon can accomplish this without damaging the economy, if carbon-tax revenues are returned to households, for example as a dividend similar to a tax refund.</span>Look for plenty of myth-busting and interesting news to come, as well as practical tips to reduce your own energy dependence. Though no single energy source is going to be the solution, positive developments toward a cleaner future are happening every single day.<span>. Waste

Also...maybe Climate Change, Waste, Water, Food, </span>Ecosystems and Endangered Species, The Science of Public Health Issues. All of these are environmental problems we face.  But Ya!!!! I hope this helps!!! This is all I know about this topic!!! Good Luck! :)

Do you believe that any of the staff members at memorial engaged in the practice of euthanasia? if so, why?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Staff members at Memorial are engaged in the practice of euthanasia. It is a mercy killing of a person who is chronically sick. If there is no hope of a person to recover, his continuity of survival would be an emotional and financial burden.

<h3><u>What is Euthanasia?</u></h3>
  • Euthanasia is the deliberate taking of a life to end pain and suffering.
  • The euthanasia laws of various nations vary.
  • Euthanasia is described as "a deliberate intervention conducted with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering" by the British House of Lords select committee on medical ethics.
  • Euthanasia is defined as "termination of life by a doctor at a patient's request" in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The term "euthanasia" is not used in Dutch legislation, although the notion is covered by the more general definition of "termination of life on request." There are various classifications for euthanasia, including involuntary, non-voluntary, and voluntary.
