Using the principles of classical conditioning, discuss Billy and Daphne’s behaviour whenever their foster parents drive past a McDonald’s.

Billy and Daphne were placed in foster care at birth as both their parents are serving time behind bars.

Once a week, however, their biological mother is allowed to pay them a visit at the foster family’s home and, for an hour, take them out of the foster home for a meal under close prisonassigned supervision.

Each week, Billy and Daphne’s mother takes them out to McDonald’s for their supervised outdoor meal. As a result, each time the foster family drives past a McDonald’s branch, Billy and Daphne both get excited and plead with their foster parents to dine there.

However, the foster parents are trying to reduce the children’s intake of McDonald’s as fast food is not good for their health.

In your answer, also identify the CS, CR, US, and UR, and recommend an ethical classical conditioning treatment plan that could help reduce the level of excitement the two children have whenever they pass by a McDonald’s branch.

List the three most provocative, salient, and/or impactful events that experienced today since waking up this morning. Describe in detail the elements of each event (the who, what, when, where, and why).

Please describe a time in your life when you experienced your life as very meaningful. In as much detail as possible, describe what was happening in your life at that time and what it was like to experience life as very meaningful

In most crimes it is something the victim has in their possession or control that motivates the offender to commit the crime. With hate crime it is ‘who’ the victim is, or ‘what’ the victim appears to be that motivates the offender to commit the crime.

A hate crime is defined as ‘Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice based on a person’s race or perceived race; religion or perceived religion; sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation; disability or perceived disability and any crime motivated by hostility or prejudice against a person who is transgender or perceived to be transgender.’

A hate incident is any incident which the victim, or anyone else, thinks is based on someone’s prejudice towards them because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or because they are transgender.

Not all hate incidents will amount to criminal offences, but it is equally important that these are reported and recorded by the police.

Evidence of the hate element is not a requirement. You do not need to personally perceive the incident to be hate related. It would be enough if another person, a witness or even a police officer thought that the incident was hate related.
