Essay 1
Making generalizations and assumptions about things is often a dangerous thing to do. Most of the time (Often) when you make (making) a generalizations or assumptions you aren't considering all of the factors that might be at play in the situation. In the case of Freakonomics the situations was presented about real estate agents and the fact that they might not be doing all they possibly can to get you the best deal whether it be you buying a house or selling one. However, it is often assumed that when you hire a professional to does a certain job, such as a real estate agent to assist you in the housing market, you (it is expected that they work in your best interest) expect them to give it everything they've got and get you the best deal. Unfortunately this probably isn't true, its very likely that the agent isn't going to do the best job possible because there really isn't that great a reward for them doing so. So, if people generally assume that hiring a real estate agent will result in a high selling point for their house and a low buying point for their new one, it's likely that they will (may) be disappointed when (if) they don't get the intended result because the agent didn't do everything possible. As a business owner who's having to go(ing) through the hiring employees it can be very dangerous for you to make assumptions or generalizations when your choosing a potential employee. However, studies have shown that when someone who goes through an interview process (is interviewed) or submits an application and has a statistically black name is often it is less likely to get the job simply because someone made assumptions about the person based on their name and not their character or other important factors in the hiring process.

    People all learn to respond to incentives, whether positive or negative from the outset of life. An incentive is simply a means of urging people to do more of a good thing and less of a bad thing. There are three basic flavors of incentive: economic, social and moral. Economic incentive is something material or tangible; moral is based of self-judgments; social is terribly powerful as it depicts what other people think of you resulting from your own actions or choices. Any incentive is inherently a trade-off; whatever the incentive, whatever the situation, dishonest people will try to gain an advantage by whatever means necessary.…

    Imagine that your company's sole product has recently suffered a considerable market share loss, although it is still the largest selling product of its kind. You are thinking of making a radical change in your product to restore market share to traditional levels, although such a strategy may backfire and ultimately reduce market share even further. Assume an even chance for both events, and potential gains to be equivalent to potential losses. Would you agree to such a change? Now, consider that the product has recently experienced a considerable gain in market share, and is the largest selling product of its kind. You are thinking of making a radical change in your product to further increase market share, although such a strategy may backfire and ultimately reduce market share to its former level. Assume an even chance for both events, and potential gains to be equivalent to potential losses. Would you agree to such a change? Although the choices just described are objectively indistinguishable, for many people the gamble is more attractive in the first characterization because of hovr the decision is framed. Decisions are framed either in terms of gains or losses by the reference point from which the options are assessed. A decision outcome could be framed as both a gain and a loss, depending on which reference point is selected. How choices are framed is important, because people respond differently to losses than to gains. The impact of framing effects on risky decision making, and their role in decision errors, are illustrated with reference to several notorious failed decisions. Advice is also offered on how to reduce the incidence of decision failure by minimizing framing effects. Caution should be used whenever an important decision is framed to appear as a choice between a certain loss…

    Vijayanagara architecture is a vibrant combination of the Chalukya, Hoysala, Pandya and Chola styles, idioms that prospered in previous centuries. Its legacy of sculpture, architecture and painting influenced the development of the arts long after the empire came to an end. Its stylistic hallmark is the ornate pillared Kalyanamantapa (marriage hall), Vasanthamantapa (open pillared halls) and the Rayagopura (tower). Artisans used the locally available hard granite because of its durability since the kingdom was under constant threat of invasion. While the empire's monuments are spread over the whole of Southern India, nothing surpasses the vast open air theatre of monuments at its capital at Vijayanagara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.…
