Answer:

a. Mortgage fraud

b. Since Maria will not be able to make her payments, she will most likely default on her loan payments. When she defaults on her loan payments, the cost of credit rises. One can however, sue the lender for mortgage fraud. If found guilty in a court of law, they will be punished for fraud.

Explanation:

a.

Fraud in basic terms means a deliberate omission or misrepresentation of facts for the purpose of deceives others. Mortgage fraud there for means a deliberate misrepresentation or omission of facts by a lender to a borrower with malicious financial intent to the borrowers. Any form of mortgage fraud is a criminal offense that is punishable in a court of law, since it usually involves huge amounts of money. An example is the mortgage scam that occurred in Sacramento, Calif where seven people were convicted in a $10 million mortgage scam in early 2019. Most people who fall victim to mortgage scams are not financially literate and there for they easily agree to the loan agreement without necessarily reading and understanding the loan agreement.

Financial literacy can be defined as a proficiency in financial principles like; financial planning, debt management and financial investments with the aim of being financially stable. Financial illiteracy can be defined as lacking financial principles and skills to make sound financial decisions.

In our case, Maria being financially illiterate fell victim to mortgage fraud since she signed a loan agreement that she did not quite understand. The lenders also committed a fraud since they knew that Maria did not understand the agreement but they did not educate her properly to ensure that she knew exactly what she was signing up for. This was a clear act of misrepresentation with the aim of fraud.

b.

Since Maria will not be able to make her payments, she will most likely default on her loan payments. When she defaults on her loan payments, the cost of credit rises. One can however, sue the lender for mortgage fraud. If found guilty in a court of law, they will be punished for fraud.

The process of generating and choosing from a set of alternatives to solve a problem is called:________a. Intuition. b. Satisfic
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

c. Decision Making

Explanation:

In psychology, decision-making is considered a cognitive process that results in the selection of an idea or movement among other alternative or possible options. Each decision-making process, whether or not it results in a move, necessarily provides a final choice. To be defined, decision-making is when the decision-maker determines and selects alternatives based on their preferences and values. Decision making can be seen as a problem solving process that results in a satisfactory solution. Since this process is based on personal and / or publicly known information, the result may be rational or irrational. The performance of people, based on their decisions, has been the subject of research in several ways:

1) Psychological: evaluating people's decisions based on individual needs, preferences and values

2) Mental: decision-making is seen as a continuous process where communication with environmental factors is integrated.

3) Must be (normative): analysis of individual decisions, taking into account decision-making or communicative reasoning, and the constant, unchanging choices caused by these

Intuition - the term used in different meanings in philosophy, mysticism, esotericism and different doctrine systems.

Types of use:

1) In some philosophical trends, the search for the facts that cannot be grasped by reason is considered within the scope of intuition.

2) In spiritism, it is accepted that intuition is manifested by influences stemming from various factors rather than a person's own thought, which is usually a disembodied soul. For this reason, the spiritualists call the intuitive contact to the spiritual contacts in which the notifications containing high information are received.

3) According to gnostics and antiquity initiates, there are three kinds of information in the path of spiritual enlightenment, from which knowledge that can be learned through teaching is called mathesis, knowledge that can be acquired through feeling or suffering, and knowledge that can be learned through intuition is called gnosis. Initiations, the ones who reach the highest stage, that is, those who reach the initiation stage, are informed by transferring the intuition they receive through their surroundings. This initiation of the initiate is represented by the symbolism of the seed becoming a plant in some initiations, and the torch symbol in some initiations.

4) When the intuition called inspiration is reflected in word or writing style, it is called revelation. The word revelation is not only a term used for prophets. The term was known and used before the arrival of Islam in the Arabs.

Satisficing is a concept of decision theory that refers to the strategy that tries to meet the adequacy criteria, rather than finding an optimal solution.  The word satisficing is a neologism (more precisely, a fruit salad) coined by Herbert Simon composed of the English words "satisfy" = satisfaction and "suffice" = sufficiency.  Herbert Simon pointed out that humans lack the cognitive resources to maximize: usually they do not know how likely the various outcomes are, we can rarely evaluate all the results with sufficient precision, and our memory is weak and not very reliable.  A more realistic approach to rationality takes these limitations into account: limited rationality.

Bounded rationality is a concept that is observed in the case of incomplete or asymmetric information and suggests that people behave in a limited rational way instead of behaviors depicted as rational human behaviors in classical economic theory and that these movements do not have full knowledge about the market. Terms such as lemon problem, inverse selection problem, game theory and moral collapse are related to the concepts of limited rationality.
