Consider the following preferences and election problem. Let us assume that a president has to be elected. 4 candidates want to become a president, who are representing different political ideologies: A is a left-wing candidate, B is a social-democrat, C is a right-liberal candidate and D is a right-wing candidate. 20% of the voters (group left) preference A≻B≻C≻D, 30% of the voters (group social democrats) have the preference B≻A≻C≻D, 10% of the voters (group right-liberal) preference C≻B≻A≻D, 40% of the voters (group right) have preference D≻C≻B≻A. Please note the sign “ ≻ “ means “preferred to.”. In total we have 100 voters.

A What is the election outcome if a pure plurality voting system is applied? How many votes does the winner receives?

B Who will be elected if the Instant Runoff voting system is applied? Who will be the first and second ranked candidate in the first election round? How much votes will the winner get in the second round?

C. Who will win if the system of unanimity is applied?

D. Who will win, if the point-count voting is applied? Please note, the voters have to rank their preferences for the first 3 candidates like, the most preferred candidate get 3 points, the second ranked candidate gets 2 points and the third ranked candidate gets 1 point. The fourth preferred candidate get zero points. How many points will be distributed in total and how much points will the winner receive?

Obligation Debt Amount Min Monthly Amount Annual Interest Rate Student loans $40,000.00 $500.00 6.00% Car loan $11,500.00 $375.00 9.50% Chase credit card $2,100.00 $84.00 18.00% Amazon credit card $1,050.00 $42.00 15.00% TJ Maxx credit card $380.00 $15.00 24.00% You recently graduated with a reasonably well paying job and after reviewing your budget you have an extra $200 a month to put towards paying off your debts as you have built up an appropriate savings. In exactly 12 months, you have been promised a raise that will allow you to put a total of $400 a month towards paying down debts (original $200 plus another $200). How many months will it take to pay off the chase card if you pay the minimum monthly amount listed above on the Chase card? Hint: the first month the interest rate is 18%/12 = 1.5%. The interest owed is 1.5% of $2,100 = $31.50. So you will pay down your debt by $42-$31.50 = $10.50. This means you owe $2,100 - $10.50 = $2,089.50 the next month. (Use a spreadsheet!!). Your answer is between 90 and 100 months!! Use this technique later down below.Discuss two approaches a) paying the highest interest rate debts first or b) paying of the smallest first. Which is theoretically best and which is emotionally best for people. Do appropriate research and reference.

Choose a friend or family member that you know well. You should know their family background, how they tend to think and make decisions, and how they shop. You must have been on a number of shopping trips with this person. With this knowledge in mind, describe behaviors that demonstrate two out of the 3 major factors influencing consumer behavior (pages 113-123 in your textbook). Each behavior described must represent the influence of a different factor. For example, my dad is very affected by his attitudes about certain products and crowding in his shopping behavior. Attitudes are a psychological influence, while crowding is a situational influence, thus representing 2 out of the 3 major factor categories (i.e. psychological, social, and situational). For each influence give at least 2 different, concrete examples that demonstrate how your chosen person behaves under the influence. Thus, if I was writing about my dad, I would explain how my dad's consumer behavior is affected by his attitude towards products giving two different examples of how this is manifested and then explain why I think he behaves this way. Then I would do the same procedure but explain how my dad's consumer behavior is affected by crowding and give two different, concrete examples. This means that your complete assignment should have 4 different, concrete examples in total. Before you submit the assignment, check to make sure you have 4 different examples of your subject's behavior, two for each influence. If you only have 2 examples in your assignment, you do not have enough examples of your subject's behavior. Be sure to explain why you think your chosen person behaves the way s/he does. The point of this assignment is to clearly describe how these principles affect your subject's behavior and give multiple examples that demonstrate the concepts.

I suggest organizing the assignment this way.

Paragraph 1 - Tell me the person that you have chosen. You don't need to give me their name if you don't want to, but tell me generally who they are and what relationship they are to you that makes you able to describe their consumer behavior.

Paragraph 2 - Tell me the specific influence you are going to discuss and what category it is in (e.g., attitude which is psychological influence). Then describe two examples of your chosen person that demonstrate the influence. Finally, try to explain why you think this person behaves this way.

Paragraph 3 - Repeat the process in outlined for paragraph 2 but for an influence in another category.

Paragraph 4 - Brief summary

Please correct my writing for grammar?

Consumer behavior is a systematic process in which a person interacts with his or her environment to make decisions about products and services. Buyer behavior includes all the psychological, social, and physical behavior of potential consumers, and when they become aware of the existence of services or products, they evaluate and consume their purchases and inform others about these products and services. Consumer behavior is influenced by individual characteristics and the decision-making process that consist of three main factors: situational, social, and psychological factors. For this assignment, I decided to choose my husband because he enjoys shopping and loves to spend his free time in the mall. We are living together for more than 22 years and we have traveled a lot, but as a woman, I have never had any concern about shopping because my husband was ready to go shopping with me and even more eager than me.

My husband is very affected by learning from ads or friends and family. He learns almost everything he does and what he thinks. In short, purchasing decisions are significantly influenced by his friends and learning from ads. For example, we have a carpentry tool the size of a wardrobe because he decided to buy one after talking to his friends or family. Also, he always follows the ads and searches for their reviews by other buyers on the internet to be sure about what he wants to buy, so learning affects both attitude and perceptions. In this case, learning is a psychological influence, while his friends or family are social influences.

Attitude is a state of mind or feeling. Attitude refers to a person's feelings and inclinations toward a form or idea. The tendency to product is an experience that interacts with perception, thinking, feeling and reasoning. For example, when my husband becomes loyal to a brand, it is difficult to change his attitudes and beliefs towards that particular brand. He chooses a specific store for his shopping like Costco. He loves Costco and believes that he can find there everything that he needs and loves its environment because he feels that he can buy anything he wants in big size. He tries to buy the Kirkland brand for most of the things that we use. In these cases, attitude is a Psychological influence, while the shopping situation is a Situational influence.

As mentioned above, consumers’ behavior is influential in their decision to buy products. The choice of people also influences the decision of others, because they are in social interactions with each other. People acquire their beliefs through practice and learning. These beliefs, in turn, affect their buying behavior. In general, we are all consumers, because we receive and consume food, clothing, housing, education, services, ideas and etc. based on a specific order. Decisions made about consumption, demand for raw materials, transportation, technical services, the deployment and allocation of resources lead to the success of some industries, and the failure of others. Therefore, consumer behavior is an important factor in the recession or boom of business activities.

ARAB CASE STUDY

Mrs. Ayesha Said is a 39-year-old Muslim Arab housewife and mother of six who immigrated to the United States from a rural town in southern Iraq 2 years ago. Her mother-in-law and her husband, Mr. Ahmed Said, accompanied her to the United States as participants in a post–Gulf War resettlement program, after they spent some time in a Saudi Arabian refugee camp. Their relocation was coordinated by a local international institution that provided an array of services for finding employment, establishing a household, enrolling the children in public schools, and applying for federal aid programs.

Mr. Ahmed, who completed the equivalent of high school, works in a local plastics factory. He speaks some English. He plans to attend an English-language class held at the factory for its many Iraqi employees. Mrs. Ayesha, who has very little formal schooling, spends her day cooking and caring for her children and spouse, with the assistance of her mother-in-law. She leaves their home, a three-bedroom upper flat in a poor area of the city, only when she accompanies her husband shopping or when they attend gatherings at the local Islamic center. These events are quite enjoyable because most of those using the center are also recently arrived Iraqi immigrants. She also socializes with other Iraqi women by telephone. Except for interactions with the American personnel at the institute, Mr. Ahmed and Mrs. Ayesha Said remain quite isolated from American society. They have discussed moving to Detroit because of its large Arab community.

Four of the Said children attend public elementary schools, participating in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program. Mr. Ahmed and Mrs. Ayesha are dismayed by their children’s rapid acculturation. Although Muslims do not practice holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter, their children plead to participate in these school-related activities.

Mrs. Ayesha is being admitted to the surgical unit after a modified radical mastectomy. According to the physician’s notes, she discovered a “lump that didn’t go away” about 6 months ago while breast-feeding her youngest child. She delayed seeking care, hoping thatinshallah, the lump would vanish. Access to care was also limited by Mrs. Ayesha’s preference for a female physician and her family’s financial constraints—that is, finding a female surgeon willing to treat a patient with limited financial means. Her past medical history includes measles, dental problems, headache, and a reproductive history of seven pregnancies. One child, born prematurely, died soon after birth. As you enter the room, you see Mrs. Ayesha dozing. Her husband, mother-in-law, and a family friend, who speaks English and Arabic and acts as the translator, are at her bedside.

Study Questions

1.Describe Arab Americans with respect to religion, education, occupation, income, and English-language skills. Compare the Said family with Arab Americans as a group.

2.Assess the Said family’s risk for experiencing a stressful immigration related to their isolated lifestyle.

3.Describe the steps you would take to develop rapport with Mrs. Ayesha and her family during your initial encounter. Include nonverbal behavior and social etiquette as well as statements or questions that might block communication.

4.Identify interventions that you would employ to accommodate Mrs. Ayesha’s “shyness” and modesty.

5.You notice that, although Mrs. Ayesha is alert, her husband and sometimes her mother-in-law reply to your questions. Interpret this behavior within a cultural context.

6.Although Mrs. Ayesha is normothermic and states her pain is “little,” Mr. Ahmed insists that his wife be covered with several additional blankets and receive an injection for pain. When you attempt to reassure him of his wife’s satisfactory recovery, noting as evidence of her stable condition that you plan to “get her up” that evening, he demands to see the physician. Interpret his behavior within a cultural context.

7.Discuss Arab food preferences as well as the dietary restrictions of practicing Muslims. If you filled out Mrs. Ayesha’s menu, what would you order?

8.When you give Mrs. Ayesha and her family members discharge instructions, what teaching methods would be most effective? What content regarding recovery from a mastectomy might most Arab Americans consider “too personal”?

9.Identify typical coping strategies of Arabs. What could you do to facilitate Mrs. Ayesha’s use of these strategies?

10.Discuss predestination as it influences the Arab American’s responses to death and bereavement.

11.Discuss Islamic rulings regarding the following health matters: contraception, abortion, infertility treatment, autopsy, and organ donation and transplant.

12.Describe the Arab American’s culturally based role expectations for nurses and physicians. In what ways do the role responsibilities of Arab and American nurses differ?

13.What illnesses or conditions are Arab Americans unlikely to disclose because of Islamic prohibitions or an attached stigma?

14.Compile a health profile (strengths versus challenges) of Arab Americans by comparing beliefs, values, behaviors, and practices favoring health and those negatively influencing health.
