Remember that New Years resolution you made as you rang in 2020? Or maybe a goal you made at the beginning of quarantine? How well are you doing with it?

The study of learning and conditioning can help us, though!For this mini-assignment, you must:Describe a behavior of yours that you wish to change and why. (3 sentences minimum)Describe a positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, and negative punishment you will administer to help you change your behavior. (Bullet points OK)Check and double check your negative reinforcement idea. This is the most common area for mistakes.Positive reinforcement: ??Negative reinforcement: ??Positive punishment: ??Negative punishment: ??3) Respond to 1 classmate, who does not have any responses yet, and edit their operant principles for accuracy. In other words, if they have their negative reinforcement example wrong, provide feedback for how they can correct it. If you think all their operants are correct, provide alternative correct options to consider.This is what the classmate whose post I want to edit saidHi everyone,A behavior I am eager to change is impulse buying, a habit that Ive adapted over the years and I blame consumerism. I want to change this behavior because I keep buying unnecessary items I do not need, which causes me to spend extra money that I could save.positive reinforcement: a positive reinforcement would be going out to shop once a month instead of every day. This way I will buy fewer items plus save money.Negative reinforcement: To get rid of this habit Ive developed I can force myself to not buy anything at allPositive punishment: If I decide to only impulse buy once a month I think that this consequence will allow me to budget better while saving me money.Negative punishment: If I keep impulse buying unnecessary items I will go broke and not be able to pay for more important things
Is it unethical to advertise a future value like this without a disclaimer?
Please read on textbook Page 141: EXAMPLE 5.7Deceptive Advertising?Businesses sometimes advertise that you should Come try our product. If you do, well give you $100 just for coming by! If you read the fine print, what you find out is that they will give you a savings certificate that will pay you $100 in 25 years or so. If the going interest rate on such certificates is 10 percent per year, how much are they really giving you today?What youre actually getting is the present value of $100 to be paid in 25 years. If the discount rate is 10 percent per year, then the discount factor is:1/1.125 = 1/10.8347 = .0923This tells you that a dollar in 25 years is worth a little more than nine cents today, assuming a 10 percent discount rate. Given this, the promotion is actually paying you about .0923 × $100 = $9.23. Maybe this is enough to draw customers, but its not $100.Ethical Considerations: Take a look back at Example 5.7. Is it deceptive advertising? Is it unethical to advertise a future value like this without a disclaimer?Have you ever seen an advertisement or experienced a situation like this, where a monetary offer has been made, yet the fine print (disclaimer) discloses that the actual monetary amount involved may be different from its initial appearance?This Discussion Post requires your (1) original explanations and reactions to these Ethical Considerations
