Answer:

individuals with darker skins and higher socioeconomic status were likely to experience more intense racism, which contributed to higher blood pressure

Explanation:

The initial finding shows that

Dark skins  + darker skins with higher socioeconomic status = higher chance of blood pressure

In plain sight, this might be seen as a genetic correlation (there is something within people in darker skin's genetic that lead to the blood pressure)

But, if we step back and examine more carefully there is also other factors that influence high blood pressure : Stress level.

When people are faced with daily racism, they will feel huge amount of threats due to the aggressive behavior and insults that trowed by other people around them. If this happen constantly within prolonged period of time, it will lead to higher blood pressure within that target group. Especially if they are higher in socioeconomic status. They become more well known to the people and invite more aggressors.

oscar loved to have snowball fights. when the new kid in class (harvey) joined in the fight, he loaded each of his snowballs wit
Gekata [30.6K]

Punishment is behavioral procedure explains why Harvey doesn't load snowballs with rocks any more.

Punishment is a behavioral process in which a reaction results in the presentation of an unpleasant consequence or the removal of a pleasurable stimulus, reducing the likelihood that the response will occur again in the future under identical conditions. The punisher (i.e., aversive stimulus) must be presented in conjunction with the response, must be presented right after the response, must be used sparingly, and must be more intense than the stimulus that would otherwise be produced by the response in order for this process to be most effective. Punishment comes in two flavors: positive and negative, much like reinforcement. Positive punishment is the process of adding a stimulus to the environment in exchange for an action, which lowers the likelihood that the action will be taken again in the future.

On what grounds does Hamilton argue that the judicial branch of government is the least powerful of the three?
kolezko [41]

Answer and Explanation:

According to Hamilton, judicial branch of the government is practically incapable of  imposing on the Constitution. The judiciary has neither power to force nor will, thus it is capable of exercising judgement only.

In the No.78 essay of the Hamilton, there was very less concern that the the political branches might be overpowered by the judicial branch; since, the flow of money is governed by the Congress and the military by the President.

There would be a dependence of judicial branch on the political branch for the sustenance of the judgments.

From the standpoint of the constitution, the judicial branches did not have equal powers as compared to the other branches other than merely exercising judgement.
