Following in the footsteps of Functionalists like Davis and Moore (1945), some people argue that without a small group of super-

rich folks at the top of society no one will be around to be the first adopters of new technology, like expensive electric cars that are good for the environment (think Telsa Motors) or the big brick cell phones of the 1980s that cost a fortune. By purchasing these early, very expensive technologies the rich pave the way for later, much cheaper technology that the rest of us can afford, they argue.
How might a Conflict theorist respond to this argument?

Answer:

The conflict theorist would argue from the point of view of the society being in perpetual competition as a result of inequality of distribution of resources and power. The rich would not pave the way for cheaper technology as a result of them purchasing early version of expensive technologies but rather, everyone would aspire to be the first to buy such early version of technology due to prestige associated with it.

On the long run, the conflict theorists makes more sense due to the fact that, as more people aspire to buy the early version of technologies, it creates extraordinary demand for the goods. this would force the manufacturers to employ more workers inorder to meet up with the demand thereby leading to fall in the prices of such goods. An example is the Toyota brand cars that is popular in some countries.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:Derived credibility

Explanation:

Credibility is the quality that we may possess and can make us be trustworthy. If you can't be trusted people will find it hard to believe even the things you say. It mostly based on how the audience sees you and how they think of your competence and personality

Derived credibility is established as the speaker delivers the speech this is based on how professional the speaker is. Derived means it is drawn from the way you deliver your speech.

So your speech is what gives you this credibility. It can also be how you present yourself in your resume.

Answer:

- Sampling bias.

Explanation:

Sampling bias is demonstrated as the partiality or bias displayed while selecting the samples(selection of non-random sample with lower sampling probability) for a particular survey or research which eventually affects the conclusion of the .

As per the question, the most significant problem with the given inference would be 'sampling bias' as the samples are not selected on random basis(interviewed people support arts on money basis) which is reflected through the observation that 'a large majority of Americans are willing to support the arts by giving money to local theater groups.' This bias in sampling may affect the validity of the results and lead to a faulty conclusion.

Suppose that people who watch a lot of violence on tv are also particularly likely to behave aggressively. this relationship wou
Fittoniya [83]

The fact that people who watch a lot of violent TV are also more likely to be aggressive does not in itself proof a cause-effect relationship. That is, there is no evidence that one situation is a cause and the other one is a consequence (causation). It only proves that both characteristics are present together (correlation).

This could be a case of “spurious correlation,” which implies that two characteristics are often present together because there is a third factor that influences both of them.  

For example, if we assume that this case refers to minors,  it could be that minors who watch a lot of violent TV are neglected by their parents. Additionally, it could be that children who behave aggressively are also neglected by their parents. If that were the case, then being neglected would be a more likely predictor of violent behaviour, as opposed to watching violent TV.  

In order to make sure there is a cause-effect relationship, we would need to perform an experiment where all other factors are controlled.
