This are the question that need to be answer
1. Pinker starts his essay with a list of twenty-two questions, each an example of a dangerous idea. What were you thinking as you read Pinkers list? Which questions touched a sensitive nerve for you? Explain.
2. How does Pinker define dangerous idea? Do you agree with his definition?
3. According to Pinker, fear is one of the main factors that contributes to the perception of dangerousness. What examples of fears does Pinker use to illustrate this claim? What other factors contribute to the perception of dangerousness?
4. Do you believe that the taboo on questioning sacred values makes sense in the context of personal relationships (paragraph 32)? Why or why not? Why do you think that Pinker believes his statement, It makes far less sense in the context of discovering how the world works or running a country (32)?
5. What does Pinker mean when he says, The idea that ideas should be discouraged a prior is inherently self-refuting (33)?
6. According to Pinker, what is the case for discouraging certain lines of intellectual inquiry (37)? What evidence does he present to support this side of the issue? Rosa_52017_14_Ch13_337-371.indd 370 11/18/11 12:24 PM
7. How does Pinker support his claim that intolerance of unpopular ideas among academics is an old story (46)?

Answer the following questions from the Stephans’ textbook; You will submit this assignment through Turnitin’s anti-plagiarism service; ensure that all wording is your own.
Chapter 11: Risk Assessment and Risk Acceptance Questions 2, 5, 6, & 7
2. Discuss the four Ts of risk management
5. Define and discuss total risk exposure codes.
6. Discuss the relationship between TRECs and estimated dollar losses.
7. If an identified hazard is capable of causing 250 fatalities and causing $50 million in property damage and other losses, what is its severity code? If this hazard is associated with certain model of aircraft with an expected service life of 25 years, what is the exposure code, given that the fleet has 200 aircraft and the hazard is estimated to be likely to result in an accident no more than once per 5 million flying hours (assume 2,000 flying hours per aircraft annually)? What is the TREC? What would be the estimated losses associated with this hazard over the life of the system?

Chapter 12: Human Factors Questions 1, 2, & 5
1. Explain why human reliability is generally much lower and much more difficult to predict than hardware reliability.
2. Name two principal types of stress that affect human reliability.
5. Give two examples of natural behavior stereotypes and three examples of learned stereotypes.
