Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics. There is a tale, “The Ring of Gyges,” that Feldman sometimes t

ells his economist friends. It comes from Plato’s Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrates—who, like Adam Smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldman’s economist friends, disagreed. He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. When Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one able to monitor his behavior, Gyges proceeded to do woeful things—seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. Glaucon’s story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to think the answer was no. But Paul Feldman sides with Socrates and Adam Smith—for he knows the answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is yes. Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by making a claim about his individual experiences and looking for evidence. making a broad generalization about morality and looking for evidence. studying his individual experiences and arriving at a broad generalization. studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization.

Answer:

Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by

studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization.

Explanation:

A researcher can reach a conclusion that most people are honest after studying a counterclaim about morality.  He can then arrive at a broad generalization.

A counterclaim is the opposite of an argument, or simply, the opposing argument.  A counterclaim research is one undertaken to establish that the opposite of a research situation prevails.  It is a claim made against a situation or an established position in order to rebut the claimed position.

In this instance, Glaucon had taken a position that no man could resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed or dictated.  For Feldman to contradict this claim, with a conclusion that 87% of the time, a man could resist the temptation of evil even if he knew his acts could not be witnessed or dictated because he had become invisible, it means that he had researched the counterclaim.

ASSIGNMENT - 202
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Hello Karl!

I hope you are doing well. I am happy since I took part in my school's annual talent show and it was great. Let me tell you about it.

You know how I love playing my guitar, well I decided to play We will rock you by Queen with it because it is my favorite song. But to make it more interesting, I played the harmonica simultaneously with my guitar.

I knew that playing two instruments at the same time wouldn't be easy so, for two months, I practiced every day. The hardest part was the harmonica since I didn't have much experience with it.

When the day came, I remember that they called my name. I put my feet on the stage and played the song. As soon as the audience heard the song, they started to clap and sing along.  I won the competition. The experience taught me that I could get what I want by working hard and do things with passion.

Tell me if you had had any similar experience.

See you!

Molino.

Explanation:

When we write a letter to a friend, we use an informal style throughout the letter.

The letter should have an introduction, where we tell our friend why we are writing, a body, where we develop the topic in detail, and lastly, we make a closing sentence, say our goodbyes, and sign the letter.

In the body, we have three paragraphs, one for every aspect that we want to describe. In the first paragraph, we tell our friend what we performed in the talent show, explaining why we choose to play that song. In the second paragraph, we describe our preparation. We said how long we practice, our biggest problems, and the frequency of our practice. In the third paragraph, we describe the talent show. That is to say, how we perceived the experience, how the audience reacted, and what we learned from that talent show.
