Answer:
High Reinforcement value;high expectancy
Explanation:
In rotter's term, high reinforcement value refers to a reinforcement that occurs where the outcome of a certain situation is highly desirable.
Expectancy determined our belief on whether we could obtain that desirable outcome or not. People High expectancy tend to believe that they got what it takes to obtain that desirable outcome while people with low expectancy tend to be more pessimistic.

<em>He also believes that he is entirely capable of obtaining a perfect GPA if he devotes sufficient time to his schoolwork.</em>
Answer:
- Paul D's emotions in jail are cold and insensitive.
- The metaphor explains that your emotions are like something inert and that they do not provide any feeling.
Explanation:
"Eighty-six days and done. Life was dead. Paul D beat her butt all day every day until there was not a whimper in her." It is a quote that shows how all the abuses, violent situations and injustice that Paul D suffered faced in prison, left him cold and insensitive to the point that he did not care about the death of life, nor try to save it, on the contrary he wants to be even more violent towards her, hitting life to the point of her, literally losing consciousness and stop moaning.
The metaphor "tobacco tin lodged in his chest", shows how Paul D.'s emotions are non-existent, without interfering in his life. It is as if his emotions were something inert, without movement and expression, like a can of tobacco.
In Amy’s article on ¨Why investing in fast-food may be a good thing¨ the two points where she might have given way to accusation or blame are the following…
Although we favor local, organic food, we recognize it isn't available in every community, and is often priced above the means of the average household. Many of us live more than 100 miles from a working farm.
The fact that she mentions that it is often 'priced above the means of the average household' may dismiss the movement as elitist.
She finds common ground and promotes civil discourse with her audience immediately in the following paragraph by stating this fact:
Fast food is a way of life. In America, the average person eats it more than 150 times a year. In 2007, sales for the 400 largest U.S.-based fast-food chains totaled $277 billion, up 7 percent from 2006.
Fast food is a global phenomenon. Major chains and their local competitors open restaurants in nearly every country. For instance, in Greece, burgers and pizza are supplanting the traditional healthy Mediterranean diet of fish, olive oil and vegetables. Doctors are treating Greek children for diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure—ailments rarely seen in the past.
The fast-food industry won't go away anytime soon. But in the meantime, it can be changed. And because it's so enormous, even seemingly modest changes can have a big impact. In 2006, New York City banned the use of trans-fats (a staple of fast food) in restaurants, and in 2008, California became the first state to do so. When McDonald's moved to non-trans fats for making French fries, the health benefits were widespread.
We can also appreciate her point in the conclusion of the article:
While my heart will always be with Slow Food, I recognize the fast-food industry can improve and that some companies are ahead of others on that path.
