Why does our brain organize ideas and objects into concepts

Answers

Answer 1

So I looked this up and this is what I came up with:

Concepts are at the core of intelligent behavior. We expect people to be able to know what to do in new situations and when confronting new objects. If you go into a new classroom and see chairs, a blackboard, a projector, and a screen, you know what these things are and how they will be used. You’ll sit on one of the chairs and expect the instructor to write on the blackboard or project something onto the screen. You do this even if you have never seen any of these particular objects before, because you have concepts of classrooms, chairs, projectors, and so forth, that tell you what they are and what you’re supposed to do with them. Furthermore, if someone tells you a new fact about the projector—for example, that it has a halogen bulb—you are likely to extend this fact to other projectors you encounter. In short, concepts allow you to extend what you have learned about a limited number of objects to a potentially infinite set of entities.

Hope I helped!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Sensations and information are received by our brains, filtered through emotions and memories, and processed to become thoughts. In order to organize this staggering amount of information, the brain has developed a file cabinet of sorts in the mind. The different files stored in the file cabinet are called concepts.

Country in Oceania GDP per capita in US$ World Rank Australia $38,500 22 New Zealand $27,000 51 Fiji $3,800 158 Micronesia $2,200 183 If Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is used as an indicator of the standard of living, which comparison can be made using the information given? A) Australia has a lower standard of living than Fiji. B) Fiji has a lower standard of living than New Zealand. C) New Zealand has a lower standard of living than Fiji. D) Australia has the highest standard of living in Asia and Oceania.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Fiji has a lower standard of living than New Zealand

Explanation:    

GDP Per Capita refers to a metric for measuring the standard of living or the economic performance of a country by diving its GDP by the number of people living in that country.

That is if the GDP of America is $1 Million and its population is 250,000, then the GDP per Capital is $4.

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is also another metric for measuring the economic performance of a country. It is the total worth of all goods and services produced in a country within a particular time.

Since the GDP/Capital for New Zealand is $27,000 while that of Fiji is $3,800, the economic well being of New Zealanders, therefore, is greater than that of Fijians.

Explanation:

Which of the following reasons best describes why African Americans supported the Republican party during Reconstruction?

Answers

Answer:

Before the Civil War (1860-1865) African slaves in the southern United States lived in a Christian society that had a rural economy, and as a result many slaves became Christian. The renegade slave Nat Turner, leader of a revolt in the 18th century, was a devoted reader of the Bible.

The slavery issue was a continuing source of division within the United States. in the XVIII century. To avoid the development of civil conflict, in the 1950s, governments always tried to maintain a numerical balance between states that allow slavery and "free states." In 1854, Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, in the populations of the two new states voted in the referendums to decide whether the states were in favor of slavery or the free states. As a result of the law, there were outbreaks of violence in Kansas between slavery supporters and abolitionists. The riots hurt the ruling party, the Democrats, and were one of the direct causes of the founding of the Republicans.

In 1856, President Franklin Pierce, a man of small political stature, was defeated in his bid to regain the Democratic nomination for the presidency and the Republican nominees for Soldier John C. Frémont of California as his presidential candidate against James Buchanan, the Pennsylvania Democrat. Unlike Buchanan, Frémont and his party declared without hesitation that their policy was to be the abolition of slavery in all US territories. Frémont did not choose to be elected to the position, but the Buchanan era was a division between north and south. President Buchanan was seen among abolitionists as a northerner with too much sympathy for the slave states. In the Democratic Party there were differences on the character of the nation.

Explanation:

Abolitionists found a welcoming home in the Republican Party, and their leading figures included Fremont, Abraham Lincoln, and freed slave Frederick Douglass. Douglass was a monumental figure of his time when ideological differences between the Democratic and Republican parties were slim. Unlike his white abolitionist colleagues like John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, and others, Douglass defended the United States Constitution, claiming that the document affirmed the right of all people to live in freedom. This view is one reason that many black American conservatives see Douglass as their ancestor. In 1860, Lincoln won the election as the Republican candidate. The Democratic Party, divided between Vice President John C. Breckinridge's southerners and Stephen A. Douglas's northerners, was defeated for the first time since 1848.

In the Civil War years, radical Republicans were the fiercest supporters of the Union cause. They had taken as a backup the Christian Holy Scriptures that affirmed the principles of equality among humanity. After 1865, with the South under military occupation, radical Republicans took the lead in the Reconstruction process. Despite that, the achievements of the process were crushed by private southern white militias who saw the Reconstruction as a policy of cruel revenge. In the years following 1873, Republicans lost power in the southern state chambers, and control passed back to the Democrats.

Should the Electoral college be eliminated

Answers

If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Presidential election leaves the Electoral College process and moves to Congress.

Answer:

I think yes, the electoral college should be eliminated because it doesn't give voice to the smaller states. It also can put people in office even if they had a lower popular vote. The electoral college was put into place to help those who weren't as educated and that isn't so much the case now. Having it be popular vote, more people would likely vote, because then their opinion would actually have an effect on the poll.

Each member of the legislature serves as a representative of a particular amount of a state population.

This proportional representation is different across states, so the legislative districts are of different sizes.

What were the causes and effects of the Great Depression?

Answers

Answer:

5 Causes of The Great Depression

It was not just one factor, but  instead a combination of domestic and worldwide conditions that led to the Great Depression. As such, there is no agreed upon list of all its causes.

The effects of the Great Depression were huge across the world. Not only did it lead to the New Deal in America but  more significantly, it was a direct cause of the rise of extremism in Germany leading to World War II.

1. Stock Market Crash of 1929 - Many believe erroneously that the stock market crash that occurred on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 is one and the same with the Great Depression. In fact, it was one of the major causes that  led to the Great Depression. Two months after the original crash in October, stockholders had lost more than $40  billion dollars. Even though the stock market began to regain some of its losses, by the end of 1930, it just was not  enough and America truly entered what is called the Great Depression.

2. Bank Failures - Throughout the 1930s over 9,000 banks failed. Bank deposits were uninsured and thus as banks  failed people simply lost their savings. Surviving banks, unsure of the economic situation and concerned for their own  survival, stopped being as willing to create new loans. This exacerbated the situation leading to less and less  expenditures.

3. Reduction in Purchasing Across the Board - With the stock market crash and the fears of further economic woes,  individuals from all classes stopped purchasing items. This then led to a reduction in the number of items produced  and thus a reduction in the workforce. As people lost their jobs, they were unable to keep up with paying for items  they had bought through installment plans and their items were repossessed. More and more inventory began to  accumulate. The unemployment rate rose above 25% which meant, of course, even less spending to help alleviate the economic situation.

4. American Economic Policy with Europe - As businesses began failing, the government created the Smoot-Hawley  Tariff in 1930 to help protect American companies. This charged a high tax for imports thereby leading to less trade  between America and foreign countries along with some economic retaliation.

5. Drought Conditions - While not a direct cause of the Great Depression, the drought that occurred in the  Mississippi Valley in 1930 was of such proportions that many could not even pay their taxes or other debts and had to  sell their farms for no profit to themselves. The area was nicknamed "The Dust Bowl." This was the topic of John  Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.
