Yuqi Zhao tried to unclog a floor drain in the kitchen of the restaurant where he worked. He used a drain cleaner called Carol’s

Blue Lye that contained crystalline sodium hydroxide (the chemical name for lye). The product label said to wear eye protection, to put one tablespoon of lye directly into the drain, and to keep one’s face away from the drain because there could be dangerous backsplash. Without eye protection, Zhao mixed three tablespoons of the lye with water and poured that mixture down the drain while bending over it. Liquid splashed back into his face, causing injury. He brought a product liability suit based on design defect and inadequate warning. At trial, an expert for Zhao stated that the product was defective because it had a tendency to backsplash. Witnesses for the company testified that lye is the most effective chemical drain cleaner and that there is no way to create an effective drain cleaner with lye and eliminate the risk of backsplash. The company executives testified that this inability to eliminate backsplash was the reason for the warning label. The trial court agreed with the company witnesses and granted summary judgment to the manufacturer. Zhao appealed. What does this paragraph describes?

Answer:

This paragraph describes the inability of users to read and take the warnings written on products non seriously. Consumers usually do not read the warning labels and without any technical knowledge, they go all in. Similar case happened with the drain cleaner. He did not take the warning seriously and did what he thought was best and when it hit back, he thought of nothing else but to file a law suit.

In addition, this paragraph entails how thoroughly the investigation was carried out through multiple entities to reach the bottom of the issue and then the final judgment was made which was somewhat fair.

Coercion and selective benefits are used by interest groups to address what issue?
natali 33 [55]
Explain collective action problems and free riding, and how groups get around these problems through benefits of participation (i.e., solidary benefits and purposive benefits), coercion, and selective incentives.

collective action problem; situation in which members of a group would benefit by working together to produce some outcome, but each individual is better off refusing to cooperate and reaping benefits from those who do the work; one individuals efforts will not make a big difference; individual is better off free riding, can not do any work but still enjoy successes of group; even when people agree something would be good, cooperation isn't easy or automatic

free riding; relying on others to contribute to a collective effort and not participating on ones own behalf, but still benefiting from the groups successes

mechanism to promote cooperation: benefits from participation, coercion, selective incentives

soldiery benefits-satisfaction derived from the experience of working with like-minded people, even if the groups efforts do not achieve the desired impact 
purposive benefit- satisfaction that comes from working to achieve a common goal
coercion- requiring participation; ex. labor unions require union dues as condition
selective incentives- benefits only given to members of an interest group
hope this helps.

contributions of the Babylonians to society? Explain why each was important and how each contribution influenced change.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Babylonians came after Akkadians and Sumerians so it is important to bear this in mind because many of their skills were inherited from previous cultures and some of these skills can be viewed as an extension of Sumerian and Akkadian culture/civilization (Sumerian language continued being language of liturgy, some old Sumerian religious cults were still there, Sumerian mythology was still present, astronomy and mathematics and cuneiform characters were inherited). Day divided in 24 hours is a Babylonian invention, circle divided in 360 degrees is also Babylonian invention, capacity to predict lunar eclipse and discovery of lunation (and their symbolic interpretation) is a Babylonian invention. Big part of all that was acquired/inherited by old Greek thinkers (Thales for example).

Explanation: There is no doubt that astronomy/astrology is of Sumerian/Babylonian origin and this knowledge was spread in Middle East and later it came to Greece. Egyptian and Greek (and later western) astrology was influenced by Babylonian astrology. Many predictive techniques and divinations we can found among Egyptians and Greek were of Babylonian origin (study of planetary secondary progressions, eclipses etc.).
