Juliette [100K]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Henry lived in the Georgia Colony. He came from a wealthy family and planned to make a living producing silk. He planted mulberry trees to support silkworms, but could never produce much silk. He knew that cotton grew well in Georgia's climate, but that it required a lot of labor to produce. He and some of his fellow farmers wanted the government to lift the ban on slavery. However, it took many years for their voices to be heard because the colony was governed from England. Eventually, Henry and other protesters were successful in forcing the government to allow slavery in the Georgia Colony.

Paraphrase this paragraph without committing palgiarism.

Answer:

With the failure of silk production, Henry was tempted to live in the colony of Georgia to produce cotton, which was an efficient crop in that region. However, cotton was not an easy crop and needed a lot of labor, which should be cheap so as not to compromise production profits. In this case, Henry needed slave labor, but this was not allowed in Georgia, which meant that he got together with some comrades and petitioned the British government to release slave labor in Georgia, which was granted , causing Henry to move to that colony and become a cotton producer.

Explanation:

A paraphrase occurs when a text is rewritten, maintaining its central theme, but using other words.

As we can see in the text shown in the question above, the central theme was Henry's petition to make Georgia a country where slave labor was allowed. Thus, a paraphrase was made, maintaining this theme and using other words and another textual organization.

It should be noted that at the end of every paraphrase, the name of the author of the original text must be presented.

Which of the following is TRUE concerning operant conditioning principles?
nignag [31]

Answer:

Fading involves gradually decreasing the frequency of reinforcement for "not-exactly-right" behaviors.

Explanation:

Fading occurs as time passes, and a conditioned response is no longer reinforced:

<em>Fading also is known as Extinction occurred as Pavlov's dogs were no longer given food, so even if the sound they associated kept ringing, their saliva stopped in the absence of the food after a while. (which initially reinforced the conditioning) </em>

<em>It means that the operant behavior will not result in the reinforcing consequences and making eventually the conditioned behavior to stop happening. </em>

<em>If for any reason  an exctincted behavior reappears again  somehow it has gone through fading , it is called resurgence. </em>

Explain how a Congressman who reflects the politico model would respond to the Big Pizza Lobby. What considerations must he/she
nikdorinn [45]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Congressman has to respond to the Big Pizza Lobby taking these considerations in mind.

Congressman has to realize the impact of the presence of this big "company" in the market. Not only for other industries that cannot compete with this huge company but the impact it has on consumers.

The congressman would propose the kind of bill that benefits free trade, competence, and benefits consumers in a free market.

The big company is not going to stay "arms-folded." The company is going to hire lobbyists to negotiate with congressmen in order to promote its particular agendas and personal interests.

Of course, the big company wants to change the rules against it, and modify them to facilitate their interests. The negotiations can make legislators doubt or rethink a regulation. That is when Congressman has to think to support the interests of citizens, who were the ones who took him/her to office in the elections. So congressmen serve the people, not large companies.
