Isabella received an excellent job offer for the position of chief financial officer of her company. This was an opportunity for which she had worked very hard for a long time. It required her to move to another state. Her family and friends were happy for her. However, her partner, whom she had been dating for two years, asked her not to take the job. Over the last few months, Isabella felt like she and her partner were not getting along very well and that their life goals were not aligning. Isabella decided to accept the job offer and break off the relationship with her partner. Although she was saddened by the relationship dissolution, she was excited about the future.

Explain how each of the following concepts may relate to Isabella’s life story.

Cognitive dissonance

Ethnocentrism

Just-world phenomenon

Scapegoat theory

Prefrontal cortex

Howard Gardner’s intelligence theory

Approach-avoidance conflict

It is not enough to answer a question by merely listing facts. You should present a cogent argument based on your critical analysis of the questions posed, using appropriate psychological terminology.

light-year  

the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, equal to about 9.46 trillion km (5.88 trillion mi). light-years are used in measuring interstellar and intergalactic distances.  

parsec  

a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.25 light years (3.08 × 1016 meters).  

parallax  

the apparent angular displacement of a celestial body due to its being observed from the surface instead of from the center of the earth (diurnal parallax or geocentric parallax) or due to its being observed from the earth instead of from the sun (annual parallax or heliocentric parallax)  

absolute magnitude  

the magnitude (brightness) of a celestial object as it would be seen at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.  

apparent magnitude  

the magnitude of a celestial object as it is actually measured from the earth.  

redshift  

an increase in the wavelength of radiation emitted by a celestial body as a consequence of the doppler effect.  

the great thing about your imagination is that it doesn't have to make sense! if i were you i would be stuck in space, no communication with earth travelling around and around, you can only guess how long its been since your communication broke down. you land on an undiscovered planet, you do a scientific investigation examining the elements and conditions. you come across alien lifeforms.  

best of luck!

objectivity: lack of bias, judgment, or prejudice

accuracy: free of mistakes, to be correct
