This question is incomplete; here is the complete question:

Fourteen-year-old Jean-Claude, an avid video game player, reads a flawed study showing that video game players are smarter than most people. Then he reads a second study with similar flaws proposing that video game players are poor leaders. What would you predict will happen:

A. He would dismiss the findings of the first study and overlook the flaws in the second study.

B. He would now believe that video game players are poor leaders.

C. He would overlook the flaws in the first study and dismiss the findings of the second study.

D. He would now believe that video game players are both smarter and poor leaders.

The correct answer to this question is C. He would overlook the flaws in the first study and dismiss the findings of the second study.

Explanation:

In general, individuals tend to favor information that supports their points of view or preferences, this is a type of cognitive bias known as confirmation bias. Additionally, this is a type of bias because individuals do not consider objectively whether the information is accurate or reliable. This is likely to occur in the case of Jean-Claude because even when the studies are flawed it is likely he supports the first study that shows video game players are smarter. After all, this supports his beliefs and preferences. Moreover, he might dismiss the findings of the second study that is opposite to his preferences.

In ancient Athens, how were citizens compensated for their participation in the Assembly or on juries?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

FIRST: You had tell the person that you were going to start an action against them to be heard in "court". You had to bring witnesses with you so your witnesses could testify that the person was told why you were bringing an action, and that you had given this person a date, time, and location that they had to appear in court to defend themselves.

SECOND: You had to post a written notice near the courthouse that clearly stated the names of both parties, the charges, and the date, time, and location of your first trip to court on this action.

FIRST TIME IN COURT: The first trip gave both parties a chance to speak before a judge. If the judge felt there was enough cause, that judge would assign a trial date. That trial date had to be posted as well.

JURY SELECTION, TRIAL BY JURY: To be on a jury, you had to be a citizen. You had to be over 30 years of age. You had to swear that you would be fair to both sides. You did get paid. Juries were selected from volunteers. The number of jurors could be huge. Some trials had as many as 500 jurors who had volunteered to judge a case. Only the jury could bring in a decision that someone was guilty or innocent. The judge only kept order, but could not decide a trial outcome.

THE TRIAL: Both sides presented their case. Then the jurors voted. Majority ruled.

PUNISHMENT: Punishments varied. If found guilty, both sides, the person bringing the charge and the person being charged, suggested a punishment. The jury could not choose a third choice. They had to choice one suggestion or the other.
