The car was named DMC-12 because of its intended retail price of $12,000. However the cars were sold new at $25,000, equivalent to $64,852 in 2014. The design of the body was quite unique and lends itself to a sporty looking image with unusual features for cars at the time - gull-wing doors, an unpainted stainless-steel body and a rear-mounted engine. Unfortunately the performance of the car did not match the sporty image. Before the launch, the car’s specs had been marketed at doing 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in a bit less than 8 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h) but it did not meet these expectations.
Limitations of the tri-component model The tri-component model of attitudes insist that all three components (affective, behavioural, cognitive) must be present before it can be considered an attitude. Limitations of tri-component model When we aware that there are inconsistencies within our attitudes (that is the way we behave is different from how we believe we should behave) we experience cognitive dissonance. cognitive dissonance Strength of the Attitude-Attitudes and Behaviour A strong attitude is an attitude that is usually thought about, well-known and easily accessible. It also tends to be personally relevant and have a strong underlying emotional component. Accessibility of the Attitude Social Context of the attitude attitudes and behaviour are more likely to be consistent when the
First, you must overcome the natural human instinct to defend anything you believe. Its o.k. you can be wrong, and you must be prepared to face and admit it when you are. Secondly, your thoughts will allow you to quickly think through the challenges of the world's knowledge and come to your own conclusions. The power of critical thinking is that it produces a self-reliant mind which is capable of great feats.
We should also know that the further this potential advances the more intelligent we become. (Ruggiero, Becoming a critical thinker) 2. Name the three broad dimensions of thinking. The three broad dimensions of thinking are as follows: the reflective ponders experiences and identifies challenges; the creative dimension produces relevant ideas for encountering challenges; and the critical dimension evaluates the ideas and decides which is best. Collectively they are referred to as “critical thinking”.
There was strong competition for Ford in the American small-car market from Volkswagen and several Japanese companies in the 1960’s. To fight the competition, Ford rushed its newest car the Pinto into production in much less time than it usually required to develop a car. The regular time to produce an automobile is 43 months; Ford took 25 months. Before production however, Ford engineers discovered a major flaw in the cars design. In nearly all rear-end crash test collisions, the Pinto's fuel system would rupture extremely easily.
Fact conflicts: Fact conflicts are based on things that are known to be true or can be verified. It usually is recorded and can be presented. Seeking answers many times will help to alleviate this type of conflict. These conflicts are generally resolved by researching information and showing the facts. 3.
He was able to cut down the time to build a car from a few weeks to an hour and a half. Mass production and assembly lines involved the making of goods with standardised parts e.g. the same size bolts. This also meant you didn’t need highly skilled workers that had been apprentices for years. The cost was kept low and by 1926 six cars a minute were rolling off the assembly lines to keep up with demand.
Mastering these archetypes helps the modelers build strategies to prevent the negative effects they produce. The sooner, the proper and the deeper will be the analysis of the model, the better it will help understanding the impact of the feedback in the short and long-term decision making. COMMON SYSTEM ARCHETYPES While organizing and classifying the patterns of system behaviors we can easily identify and acknowledge eight main system archetypes. In spite of the behavior they demonstrate, all of them are made of a combination of Balancing and Reinforcing loops. The common system archetypes we encounter in the day to day while trying to explore the underlying of the problems
Human drivers are highly unpredictable and unstable at times during driving while autonomous technologic drivers can eliminate these errors and therefore promote higher overall levels of safety. Although this self-driving car is only a prototype, there has been remarkable progress and these kind of products will soon be commercialized to the public in the very near future. Since the implementing the Google car on the road, Google has conducted two full monthly reports on accidents and impaired driving. In their second report, there have been a total of 11 accidents that have been involved with the self-driving car, and each of those accidents the driverless vehicle was at zero fault. The man accidents were mainly the Google car being rear ending by the distracted driver; usually minimal damage.
When one knows their competencies they can step up and utilize their strengths and leverage others when needed. With my strength for leading and taking initiative, I can take command of a situation while working well with others to critically think through ideas and discuss the quality of the arguments and evaluate potential solutions. My ability to cope with pressure can help me to maintain a calm atmosphere for the group. I possess the ability to network well and that will allow me to seek out others to obtain their point of view. Being innovative will also help with assessing arguments through critical thinking.
