2 answers:

6 0

A jail is defined as a confinement facility for people held in lawful custody, that are under the jurisdiction of a local government. The purpose of jails is to receive and hold individuals that are waiting for trial, or to hold inmates that have already been sentenced.

In the United States, many of the different state´s jails are over capacity in their population. This is a direct consequence of the growth of delinquency in the country, having 1 over 200 citizens behind bars. The growth of jails has been referred to as the "shame of the criminal justice system" due to the poor conditions in which most of these jails are in. Also, the staff that works in these jails is underpaid and not properly trained for their job. This situation is a result of the low priority that the jail system has when it comes to distributing the local budget.

Write summary of air pressure belt on the globe using mind map

serg [7]

Explanation: Since air has mass, it also has weight. The pressure of air at a given place is defined as a force exerted in all directions by virtue of the weight of all the air above it.

The weight of a column of air contained in a unit area from the mean sea level to the top of the atmosphere is called the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure is expressed in various units.

Measurement of Air Pressure

Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the column of air at any given place and time. It is measured by means of an instrument called barometer.

The units used by meteorologists for this purpose are called millibars (mb).

One millibar is equal to the force of one gram on a square centimeter. A pressure of 1000 millibars is equal to the weight of 1.053 kilograms per square centimeter.

In other words, it will be equal to the weight of a column of mercury 75 cm high.

The normal pressure at sea level is taken to be about 76 centimeters (1013.25 millibars).

Vertical Variation of Pressure

In the lower atmosphere the pressure decreases rapidly with height.

When people are distracted, they are more likely to fall prey to the fundamental attribution error. This occurs because internal

kolezko [41]

Answer:

This occurs because internal attributions arise from automatic processes, whereas external attributions arise from controlled processes.

Explanation:

The Fundamental Attribution Error is one's tendency to explain an individual's behavior based on one's personal and internal factors. It's judging others by one's own thoughts and ideas.

Let's understand both types of processes:

Automatic: automatic cognitive ideas. Once one learns to do something, he/she won't have to think much about doing it later. An example is driving.
Controlled: the individual is conscious and aware of the process and he she has to pay attention. An example is answering questions in an interview.

In summary, one's internal attributions arise from automatic processes because it's how he/she is used to think and external attributions come from the outside and are therefore controlled processes, which require the individual's attention. When there is a distraction and both attributions mix, the fundamental attribution error tends to occur.
