Explain some of the reasons why the 2010 earthquake in Haiti was more destructive than the 2010 earthquake in Chile.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

its epicentre was close to a major city and its hypocentre, or focal point, was close to the Earth's surface

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Although the 2010 earthquake in Haiti registered lower on the Richter Scale than the one in Chile a month later, the Haiti quake was far more destructive. Haiti is a poorer country and has few resources to prepare for or cope with a massive earthquake. Unlike Chile, which has strict building codes, Haiti has poor construction, which is why most of the buildings in the capital city collapsed. Chile, having learned from experience from a devastating quake in 1960, not only has strict building codes, but also has safety training and school drills for dealing with an earthquake. The quake in Haiti also struck a major metropolitan area, while the Chile quake occurred about 70 miles from a large city. The death toll in Haiti was over 250,000, compared to less than 1,000 in Chile.

Dr. Kline is an environmental psychologist who wants to know whether visiting zoos causes people to have a more positive attitude toward environmental conservation. He polls a group of 45 people attending the zoo on a Saturday morning and finds that 69% of them report having a positive attitude toward environmental conservation after their visit. Which of the following is true?
A. He can make a strong causal claim about the effect of zoo visits on environmental attitudes.
B. His study does not qualify as an experiment.
C. He does not have a dependent variable.
D. His control group is people who did not visit the zoo.

Answers

Answer:

B). His study does not qualify as an experiment.

Explanation:

Dr. Kline's study would not qualify as an experiment because it does not involve an experimental group in order to compare the results with the control group. In order to ensure that the results are not merely a chance but there is a causal relationship between the change in the independent variable and its effect received by the dependent variable. This also makes the conclusion reliable but in the given case, DR. KIine simply questions a group of people already visiting the zoo without having an experimental group with some modulations. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Which of the following was not one of the reason that the Germanic tribes from Northern Europe began to invade to Roman Empire?

Answers

The correct answer is D. To form an alliance with the Roman emperor

Explanation

The Germanic tribes were an original community from northern Europe. The tribes were made up of a large part of the pre-Roman peoples and barbarian peoples. During the time of the Roman Empire, they were related to it in a violent way because they were the ones who invaded it during the episode known as the so-called Germanic invasions that caused the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Therefore, it can be affirmed that the Germanic tribes did not invade the Roman Empire to establish an alliance with them, but instead invaded it to cause its overthrow in Western Europe. So the correct answer is D. To form an alliance with the Roman emperor

Why do women constantly earn less that their male counterparts in a variety of professions.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation: The gender pay gap or gender wage gap is the average difference between the remuneration for men and women who are working. Women are generally considered to be paid less than men.

Reasons:

1.Discrimination

A 2015 meta-analysis of studies of experimental studies of gender in hiring found that "men were preferred for male-dominated jobs (i.e., gender-role congruity bias), whereas no strong preference for either gender was found for female-dominated or integrated jobs". A 2018 audit study found that high-achieving men are called back more frequently by employers than equally high-achieving women (at a rate of nearly 2-to-1).  

The European Commission divides discrimination, as it impacts the EU wage gap, into several categories.  

Direct discrimination is when a woman is paid less than a man for the same job. According to Harvard Economist, Claudia Goldin, by and large women receive equal pay for equal work in the US.[46] A more persistent difference is the sectoral or industry discrimination, with women being paid less for a job of equal value in careers dominated by women.

2.THE PROBLEM WITH “WOMEN’S WORK”

The roots of the gender pay gap can be traced all the way back to when women first took paid work. The type of work that women were typically allowed or encouraged to do was lower paid. These so-called “pink collar” jobs (often caring work like nursing, teaching, cleaning) have persisted in being lower paying than fields more typically filled by men (manufacturing, business, science). Yet the argument that women choose lower-paying fields falls apart when men enter these fields and are offered higher salaries, or when women break into the boys’ clubs of business or engineering yet are offered significantly lower wages. For example, male nurses earn about $5,100 more a year than female counterparts who hold similar positions.

3.Motherhood

Studies have shown that an increasing share of the gender pay gap over time is due to children. The phenomenon of lower wages due to childbearing has been termed the motherhood penalty. A 2019 study conducted in Germany found that women with children are discriminated against in the job market, whereas men with children are not. In contrast, a 2020 study in the Netherlands found little evidence for discrimination against women in hiring based on their parental status.  

Motherhood can affect job choices as well. In a traditional role, women are the ones who leave the workforce temporarily to take care of their children. As a result, women tend to take lower paying jobs because they are more likely to have more flexible timings compared to higher-paying jobs. Since women are more likely to work fewer hours than men, they have less experience,which will cause women to be behind in the work force.  

Another explanation of such gender pay gap is the distribution of housework. Couples who raise a child tend to designate the mother to do the larger share of housework and takes on the main responsibility of child care, and as a result women tend to have less time available for wage-earning. This reinforces the pay gap between male and female in the labor market, and now people are trapped in this self-reinforcing cycle.

4.Gender norms

Another social factor, which is related to the aforementioned one, is the socialization of individuals to adopt specific gender roles. Job choices influenced by socialization are often slotted in to "demand-side" decisions in frameworks of wage discrimination, rather than a result of extant labor market discrimination influencing job choice. Men that are in non-traditional job roles or jobs that are primarily seen as a women-focused jobs, such as nursing, have high enough job satisfaction that motivates the men to continue in these job fields despite criticism they may receive.  According to a 1998 study, in the eyes of some employees, women in middle management are perceived to lack the courage, leadership, and drive that male managers appear to have, despite female middle managers achieving results on par with their male counterparts in terms of successful projects and achieving results for their employing companies. These perceptions, along with the factors previously described in the article, contribute to the difficulty of women to ascend to the executive ranks when compared to men in similar positions.  Societal ideas of gender roles stem somewhat from media influences.Media portrays ideals of gender-specific roles off of which gender stereotypes are built.These stereotypes then translate to what types of work men and women can or should do. In this way, gender plays a mediating role in work discrimination, and women find themselves in positions that do not allow for the same advancements as males.  Some research suggests that women are more likely to volunteer for tasks that are less likely to help earn promotions,and that they are more likely to be asked to volunteer and more likely to say yes to such requests.

how does good decision making influence unequal power relationships​

Answers

In organizational decision making, the dominance by a power figure in a group discussion is frequently an inhibiting force that hinders a group from effective performance and from reaching effective decisions. This problem provides an impetus for searching for methods to mitigate the disruptive effects of power inequalities. This study proposes a new method: assignment of a majority rule. Specifically, this study suggests that assignment of a majority rule in some unequal-power groups has a greater potential for reducing power inequalities than a unanimity rule or no assigned decision rule.

Good decision-making positively influences unequal power relationships by ensuring that selfish decisions are not imposed on weaker parties.
