Which word carries the most negative connotation? O surprised O impressed Oshocked O amazed

jek_recluse [69]

$\huge\boxed{\textsf{Shocked}}$

First of all, let's go over the differences between connotations and denotations.

A word's denotation is a precise, literal definition of what the word means. This is something you can find in a dictionary.

A word's connotation is less precise and more emotional. It's the positive and/or negative associations a word naturally has with it. You can almost think of it as the natural tone of a word.

For example, the word "brilliant" has a more positive connotation that the word "aggressive".

Now, let's look at this specific problem. Out of the four words given, three of them have a more positive connotation. The one with a slightly negative connotation is "shocked".

This is because the word "shocked" is often associated with fearful situations in people's minds.

Tiffany Suns claims that understanding people’s hidden biases can help us create a more equal society. How?

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Tiffany tried to use the trolley problem to explain certain biases. Basically, the trolley problem is a scenario where a trolley is moving to hit five helpless people and only one person has seen it and can alter its direction to sacrifice one person to save the other helpless four people. Which person would be sacrificed so the other four will be safe? That's the trolley problem.

Tiffany believes there is no correct answer or way to measure who will be sacrificed to keep the remaining four safe.

She believes the trolley problem is a good way to study biases as it is something we try to hide or may not even be fully aware how they influence our decisions.

Tiffany went one step further and surveyed about 300 people by asking them what they would do in the trolley problem.

Tiffany varied identities of the woman waiting on the track. The woman was rich sometimes, wearing a suit or carrying a briefcase, some other times she wore a waitress uniform, or just very attractive, other times she was just ordinary looking, in another scenario, the woman was on a wheelchair.

From her poll results, if the woman appeared wealthy, only about 24% of her participants would sacrifice her, if she was dressed as a waitress, 59% of the people offered to sacrifice her to save the others, if she was attractive, 44% of the people would sacrifice her, 68% of the people offered to sacrifice the ordinary looking lady, 54% of the people would sacrifice the woman standing and the number rose to 74% if the woman was on a wheelchair.

Tiffany observed that society tended to value some lives as less than others and it doesn't make the society look very nice.
