Answer:

what was memorized was the idea of "light" as a description of weight, not "light" as illumination

Explanation:

When the research participant memorized the words “heavy – light” his brain associated with the words “light” unicament in the sense of weight. In this context, the participant's brain disassociated the word from any meaning other than that previously associated. Thus, when faced with the word "light" written with the sense of luminosity, the participant's brain did not allow the participant to remember that he had seen this word before.

Sarah has been working as an administrative assistant at the same company for 30 years. She goes through the motions at her job
Ivahew [28]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Sarah has been working as an administrative assistant at the same company for 30 years. She goes through the motions at her job with little motivation. She has realized that she will never get promoted, and has become extremely defeated. According to strain theory, Sarah is an example of a(n) ______.

a. ritualist

b. rebellionist

c. conformist

d. innovator

Answer:

Sarah is an example of a (n) a. ritualist.

Explanation:

Sociologist Robert Merton developed the strain theory, according to which people show different responses to social and cultural values and the way they are supposed to achieve those values. There are people who accept both the goal and the means to achieve it. Others may reject both, for example.

A ritualist is the individual who rejects the goals, but still accepts the expected way to achieve them. Sarah seems to have previously accepted the goals. Now that she has come to realize she will never be promoted, she no longer fights for those goals. Still, she keeps on going through the motions. She is still engaged in the activity that was supposed to take her to those goals, but will not. Sarah is, therefore, a ritualist.

The 4 pros are them not being a danger to society, justice for victim, wouldn’t endanger prisoners, and sometimes the wait for years knowing they’re gonna have to die and not knowing when they are. The cons are them not rotting in prison, taking a life of someone who might have changed depending on their crime, they prison would be wasting food, the family might be hurt, the person could have been innocent
