Answer:
Sunk-cost fallacy.
Explanation:
The sunk-cost fallacy refers to the behavior done by the individuals when they continue such behavior because they already invested resources on it (time, money, effort).
In this example, <u>Les invested money on the megaphone of root beer,</u> he starts drinking it but <u>he becomes full, nevertheless he keeps drinking it </u>(even when his friend tells him he will get sick) <u>because he "bought it and not going to waste one drop of it"</u>
<u>Less continues drinking the root beer even though he's already full because he thinks he already invested money on buying it.</u>
Thus, this is an example of the sunk-cost fallacy.
They must keep in mind that the students might still reject Wayne because they might not trust that he's actually changed. It is the goal of the teachers to help the children accept Wayne and to help Wayne integrate into the society that he was once removed from.
Answer:
a) Malthus ignored other factors like technological change.
Explanation:
Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) was an English cleric and a scholar, most known for his demographics theory. He is an author of <em>An Essay on the Principle of Population</em>, where he observed that increasing production of food resulted in improved well-being of the population, but this was temporary because it led to a population growth. Larger population led to the restoration of original production per capita.
He was mainly wrong because he did not account for improvement in technology of production. Development and widespread use of technology meant that it is not needed to use the same amount of energy to produce goods. Production increased much faster than the increase of population, which resulted in a failure of his theory.
