An airline passenger nearly killed in a crash is suing the airline for personal injuries. To prove the extent of his injuries, t

he passenger offers a videotape taken by a local news station immediately after the crash that shows serious burns covering much of the passenger's face. The airline moves to exclude the videotape on grounds that its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.
In making his ruling, which of the following is NOT appropriate for the judge to consider:
A) The videotape will make it more likely that the passenger will win the suit.
B) There are other methods of proving the passenger's damages.
C) The videotape can be restricted to its proper purpose by instructing the jury to disregard any possible emotional appeal.
D) the videotape will encourage the jury to decide the suit on an emotional basis.

Answer: A) The videotape will make it more likely that the passenger will win the suit.

Explanation:

The fact is that evidence tends to favor one party over the other. The Judge therefore should not begin to consider the likelihood that the videotape would help the passenger win their suit because as said, evidence helps one party over another so the Judge doing this is a fruitless endeavor.

Rather the Judge should focus on deciding if the probative value of the tape is more or less than the danger the video poses of unfair prejudice.

Answer:

the bystander effect.

Explanation:

According to the bystander effect one is less likely to help a person when there number of people in the vicinity is high.

The reasons why this happens is due to three factors, diffusion of responsibility, ambiguity and behaving according to social norms.

  • Diffusion of responsibility

When there are a lot of people around one might think that someone else will take the responsibility of taking action. This may happen as one might think that someone else might be better suited to handle the situation

  • Ambiguity

If the situation is not clearly understood by the bystander then they will be less likely to help.

  • Social norms

One might think if they would help it would be going against the social norms and hence hesitate to do so.

Here, Mr. Hughes has decided not to help because of the diffusion of responsibility.

Hence, his reaction illustrates the bystander effect.

Summarize the social change protests. Explain in your own words 5 sentences.
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Modern social change protests are a group of sexist and racist individuals who claim that they want to stop those things by showing those things to the "oppressors". For example, the black lives matter movement claims that they want to end racism, but if you actually look at the fact that they intentionally harm the lives of white people and advocate for racism against white people in schools and in society. The Modern feminist movement is now sexist against men, and have pushed for fundamentally sexist rules, even when women, legally have more rights than men in America. The "Anti-Facist" or "Antifa" is a terrorist organization who's entire purpose is to cause harm to anyone with a conservative mindset; this is actually written in their own description. These are examples of "social change" protests that are intentionally cause harm, but there are ones, such as the march for life, that don't cause harm to anyone; instead, they do a lot of good things.
