However, when love is in the situation, it grays the black and white areas. Have you ever found yourself in a situation that was very black and white when looking into another person's dilemma, but when personally with a similar dilemma it seemed to be a gray area? If so, please share your example with the class and explain how you feel psychology would address the reactions you have made due to emotions rather than ethics or logic.

I completely agree with the statement that when love is in the situation , it grays the black and the white area.

I found myself in a similar situation a couple of months ago.

There was this great amazing college event I and my friends were completly involved in organising , we had literarly put in all our heart and sweat into making it a reality fighting all odds with the administration of the college. It was dream come true. And right before the big day , i got a call from my dad informing me that he needed me to be there for my mother as she was hospitalized. I am not saying i dint want to be with my mother when she needed me , but my heart was torn apart into two peices. I knew it will all come down to zero if i dont attend the event , the the whole credit and execution was at risk. But like i said ,love makes the situation grey. The love for my family and for the higher things in life got the better of me and i left for my place within 2 hrs of my dad's call.

I would say psychology has a role to play in everyday of our lives, in all the decisions we take , in all the things we value and in all the emotions we feel. Feeling for your loved ones is biological but paying attention to it and being there for your loved ones is psychological too.

By now you have realized that abortion is not a simple black-or-white issue. However, those in favor of abortion ("pro-choice") argue that the question of the morality of abortion rests on the question of whether a fetus is a person. On the other hand, "pro-life" argue that abortion destroy a human life, and thus it is an immoral act. First, explain the difference between a person and a human being. Why is this difference relevant in the discussion of abortion?...

Consider the situation where you have a bag that contains 8 black marbles and 2 white marbles. You take a marble from the bag; you record whether it is black or white, and put it back in the bag before you take another marble from the bag. You do this 10 times. What is the probability that you will draw the same number of black and white marble? Explain and show step by step process to achieve full marks.

Most black bears (Ursus americanus) are black or brown in color. However, occasional white bears of this species appear in some populations along the coast of British Columbia. Kermit Ritland and his colleagues determined that white coat color in these bears results from a recessive mutation (g) caused by a single nucleotide replacement in which guanine substitutes for adenine at the melanocortin-1 receptor locus (mcr1), the same locus responsible or red hair in humans. (K. Ritland, C. Newton, and H.D....

Suppose you have a regression that is; lnw= alpha + edu + age + white. When you say ‘when controlling for age’ does it mean that you will only check for ‘age’ whilst the other factors (edu and white and alpha) are held contant? Please provide an easy to understand and clear answer. Please do not write on paper and then upload it as an answer if it is unclear, it does not help.

19. We have two boxes; there are m white balls and one black ball in the first box, and k white balls and one black ball in the second box. We randomly choose a box (each choice has the same probability) and then draw two balls simultaneously from the chosen box. Let X denote the number of black balls drawn, and Y denote the number of the box that was chosen. Find the correlation coefficient of variables X and Y...

I have four socks in a drawer; each is either black or white. Suppose that my null hypothesis is H0 : There are exactly two black socks. We decide on the following test: we take out two socks at random (all at once and without replacement). We reject H0 if the two socks are the same color. [Note: this test doesn’t make a whole lot of sense; this is just to practice the ideas.] a) What is the significance level...
