Week 6 Review Questions 1. How did the limited central government created by the Articles of Confederation reflect the issues behind the Revolution and fears for individual liberties? The limited central government represented more of a peace treaty between that states than a blueprint for a powerful nation. It was created to maintain national coordination during the Revolution, but not much more; The States still held most of the power. The only powers the national government held were those essential to the Revolution such as declaring war, conducting foreign affairs, and making treaties with other governments (Foner 249).

The most important factor in why people choose to make a decision is the effect it will have on their/others emotions. In the book “Abuela Invents the Zero” by Judith Ortiz-Cofer, Connie chooses to make a awful decision by making her grandma feel like a nothing, which makes Connie feel guilty and Connie's grandma (Abuela) feel sorrowful. Connie states, "‘Abuela points her finger at me like a judge passing a sentence on a criminal. She says in Spanish, ‘You made me feel like a zero, like a nothing’”
One thing to point out is that Cooley mentioned is that we are not actually being influenced by the opinions of others, but instead we are being influenced by what we imagine the opinions and thoughts of others to
In The Things They Carried, Tim O’ Brien challenges the concept that war is glorious and heroic by using death to display the actuality of war. The book explores a collection of short stories written by Tim O’ Brien, who writes about the experiences within a platoon of American soldiers in the Vietnam War. Within his stories, the deaths experienced reveal the reality of war which is insignificant and cowardly. The reality of war O' Brien discusses, contrasts the romanticized beliefs of war some people may have.
Pitts suggests the reason for people's bias is because of our simple refusal to be wrong. He claims our bias is “the state of critical thinking these days: Ignore any inconvenient truth, any unsettling information that might force you to think or even look with new eyes upon, say, the edifice of justice. Accept only those ‘facts’ that support what you already believe.” Then, because our approach to critical thinking is shaped this way, Pitts believes that “when people are determined to believe a lie, there is nothing more futile than the
Have you ever had your opinion on something entirely changed? What made it change? It likely could have been family and tradition. An individual’s family and traditions have the most influence on one’s perspective because it uses examples to change someone’s opinion on something. Tradition is an important factor when it comes to changing opinions.
If one is open to hearing different viewpoints instead of jumping quickly to shut them down, one could learn something they new they never knew before that could strengthen or even change their

People can understand and formulate opinions on a situation differently based on their morals and
Subconscious bias also plays a big role in the decisions made by Major
As a result, it begins to dominate our decisions as to what we think the norms are. Every individual can easily be influenced to think a certain way creating an effect
Opinions have great impacts on different things in many ways. For centuries people have had different opinions about everything, whether they like it or if they don’t like it. For example the assassination of Caesar, who was killed by Brutus who was supposed to be his friend. Many people didn’t know if they should think of Brutus as a patriot or as a betrayer. In most opinions people thought he was a patriot, but Brutus was later on killed because he killed Caesar.
In the novel The Giver, this theme is demonstrated and it explains that opinions may change when knowledge is gained. Generally, opinions can be changed to be more positive than a person thinks the situation is. This is shown through Jonas, one of the characters in The Giver. In the
It is much easier to change someone’s mind if they have had an opinion on something for a week than if they have believed in something ever since they where a child, like in the case of a faith like religion. In the other hand, memory fades over time and the bias towards whatever we remembered fades with it. It would be a lot easier to convince someone that their gray car was black a decade after they sold it than if we where to try after a week. The severity of a topic is also going to have a huge impact on the scale of the bias since it will have a bigger importance in our minds and the initial decision will be created with a lot more caution making the bias big from the beginning. If a friend steals your pen you will likely end up being that person’s friend again but if your friend steals all your money and burns down your house then your mind is likely to stick with the intention of not becoming their friend again.
