Thinking‚ Fast and Slow Discussion Questions 1. One of the book’s more stunning examples of the priming effect takes place in an office kitchen. Employees would typically make themselves coffee or tea and in return would drop a small fee into an “honesty” box. Researchers designed an experiment that involved alternating weeks where either a picture of a flowerpot or a picture of a set of eyes was in the room. Donations were checked after ten weeks and researchers found that significantly more

"Economics" gives the following definition of the business cycle: The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movements in economic activity‚ measured by fluctuations in real GDP and other macroeconomic variables. If you’re looking for information on how various economic indicators and their relationship to the business cycle‚ please see A Beginner’s Guide to Economic Indicators. Parkin and Bade go on to explain: A business cycle is not a regular‚ predictable‚ or repeating phenomenon

The Carbon Cycle The element Carbon is the principle block for the organic compounds that make up life. This is because the study of the Carbon Cycle draws upon theories from biology‚ chemistry‚ geology and oceanography in order to understand the movement of carbon throughout the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and geosphere. Carbon is made up of four electrons that are able to form with each other; this causes the many different forms of carbon. The most popular form of carbon is carbon dioxide; this

Nitrogen cycle A simple and complete diagram of the nitrogen cycle. The blue boxes represent stores of nitrogen‚ the green writing is for processes that occur to move the nitrogen from one place to another and the red writing are all the bacteria involved. The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation

The Business Cycle The business cycle‚ it is also called economic cycle‚ are periodically and unstable levels in the economy that an economy has in different periods of time. Even though it was considered to be predictable and stable‚ it is now considered as unpredictable‚ and unstable that could vary in any time. The Business cycle will guide the businesses‚ industries‚ and companies to act in a specific way‚ depending in which of the 4 phases the business cycle is. Since business cycle could be on

Analysis Questions: Cycles of Matter 1. Explain the role of decomposing bacteria in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. In the carbon cycle‚ decomposing bacteria release carbon from the decaying bodies or waste into the atmosphere. Without them‚ it won’t be able for any organism to access the carbon stored in dead bodies. In the nitrogen cycle‚ decomposing bacteria breaks down animal waste‚ which creates ammonia and nitrate products rich in nitrogen. Although no animals or plants cannot directly

Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle describes the coordinated and rhythmic series of muscular contractions associated with the normal heart beat. The cardiac cycle can be subdivided into two major phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles
