PSYCH218 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Economic Sanctions, Environmental Degradation, Psych
Document Summary
Different levels of government (focused on national level) All levels of analysis are interrelated (imbedded in all these broader levels of influence) Two main aliances formed (n/s medicin land buildings, e/w military food communication) Task 1: rate quality and stability (each rated their own group better) Task 2: rate it again without death (n/s stronger group favoritism, e/w less: n/s had land to put all the people (military carried less of a punch) Main point: death changes everything (affects how nations see themselves and other nations and their ability to provide for their people) One way corruption can go bad is if bribing/lobbying ends up being implicated with death: assassinations not all citizens are viewed as equal (people in a position of responsibility can destabilize things more if they die). You"re more targeted when you"re in power than the average person. Assassinations can sometimes be symbolic or practical to destabilize the nation.
