Answer:

Not only does the cogito prove Descartes' existence, but, as Descartes next points out in principle I. 8, it even proves what he is. He is a thing that thinks. ... Having proved that he is a thinking being, Descartes then goes on to prove that we know the existence of the mind better than we know the existence of body.

The answer is below

Explanation:

Bribery is an act which describes a situation in which an individual or group of people involved, are offering some form of items of value, particularly money, in an exchange to get something done, most specifically, something that the person offering the bribe is not deserve to get on merit.

On the other hand, Extortion is an act that describes a situation whereby, an individual or person that is receiving an item of value to carry out work, coerced, force or place the giver under duress to pay some items of value, before he could carry out the work, that is expected of him under normal circumstances.

Therefore, the most significant difference between Bribery and Extortion is in the person who initiates the undue influence. If the giver initiates the giving of money or items of value to get things done, it is considered BRIBERY. On the other hand, if it is the receiver of the items of value or money, is the one that initiates the undue influence, then it is referred as EXTORTION.

Grease Payment on the other hand, is when the initiator gives the receiver some items of value or money to fasten the work that should be done, that is, if under normal circumstances, the job done will take 3 days, but with the money paid, then the smae job get done in a day, that is considered as GREASE PAYMENT.

Answer:

availability heuristic

Explanation:

An availability heuristic is a mechanism by which a person can easily form a conclusion of a situation. People are inclined to believe in the things that can be easily recalled, while other alternatives are not thought of. These memories are formed in the recent past.

Here, Jim watched a documentary about the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. When he thought about his flight to San Francisco he thought about the documentary first without thinking of anything else.

Hence, the statement here is referring to availability heuristic.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The economy that would suffer a higher cost of inflation in this two scenarios would be the second one: "he inﬂation rate was 3% for two decades but just this past year rose to 10%."

Explanation:

The rate of inflation is calculated by the amout of increase and decrease of prices in economy. That means that the prices of good and services could increase or decrease. The most harm a economy suffers is when the inflation rate cannot be calculated because it is not stable.

In this case even though a 100% inflation a year is a lot and no good, to not be able to calculate how the inflation is going to go, has a more negative effect. On economics a very imporant matter is to be able to stabilize the economy. To be able to estimate the infaltion rate, is better than it changing with out knowing exactly the percentage.

People can plan better their economy when the rate of infaltion can be estimate. It helps to the banks to planify better, and for people to plan better their future.
