Questão 16
2023Inglês

(AFA - 2023) Directions: Read Text VI and answer questions 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 accordingly. TEXT VI Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, caused something of a stir at the annual Air Force Associations Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Florida. During an informal fireside chat with Lt. Gen. John Thompson of 5 Space Command on Friday, Musk told a room packed with fighter pilots that the fighter jet era has passed. Now, Musk is renowned for finding soundbites for the media to hook onto, and also of causing calculated disruption in his target audience, but even by his 10 standards this is a well-baited line. What makes this such a bold and controversial statement? The contemporary battlefield is far more networked, complex, congested and lethal its those that adapt that will survive. Simply being a good stick will rapidly no 15 longer cut it in the hostile skies of the future. Musks main thrust is, however, that the human in the cockpit is the limiting factor in air combat now, not the advantage. Firstly, humans are awkward for aircraft designers to 20 accommodate. In a modern fighter the pilot sits on an ejection seat for emergency escape, needs an oxygen supply and air-conditioning to function at extremes of temperature and altitude, and requires flight controls and instruments to fly and fight the machine. All of these add 25 a significant amount of weight and cost into the aircraft. Moreover, having a transparent canopy to permit the crew to see out does little to improve signature management1 as radar cross section and the chances of reflected sun glint all increase. The human also adds more weight, 30 especially when encumbered with flight kit such as helmet, NVGs, g-suit and flight planning and survival equipment. Traditionally, pilots sit toward the front of the aircraft to afford them the best view for take-off and landing, as well as air combat. This has implications on 35 aerodynamics, stealth1 design and weight distribution factors. In short, it can make the designers life a lot simpler if the pilot/crew are not in the aircraft. (Extracted from https://www.forbes.com/. Accessed on March 03, 2022.) Vocabulary: 1. Signature management and stealth: both terms refer to technology that reduces the likelihood of personnel, aircrafts, missiles, etc. being detected. Analyzing the grammatical aspects of Text VI, and considering the standard use of language, its correct to say that

(AFA - 2022 - Modelo A - Questo 1) TEXT When making a decision, it is a common impulse to look and see what others are doing. Nevertheless, it is often unclear whether the path that everyone else may be following is good for us as well. After all, sometimes 5 following the crowd had merit - at other times, itis simply peer pressure blinding us. The phenomenon of looking to other and following the crowd ______ by social science for a long time. Nevertheless, those findings do not always make 10their way to individual decision-makers. Therefore, lets review why people conform to the crowd - and under what conditions it is a good idea to go your own way instead. To start, individuals tend to look to the opinions of 15 others, especially when they are unsure and lack information from other sources. This dynamic was supported by classic research from Sherif (1937), who explored how a persons perception of a very ambiguous stimuli can be influenced by the opinion of others. Sherif 20(1937) asked participants to watch a small light in a dark and featureless room and evaluate how much that light moved at all - but the way our perception works in thar situation gives the possible ilusion of movement (called 25 the Autokinetic Effect). In this uncertain and ambiguous perceptual situation, Sherif (1937) found that individuals were quite susceptible to the influence of the opinions of others when trying to decide how much light was moving. 30 Unfortunately, this phenomenon also extends to individuals following the crowd, even when they can clearly see that others are wrong. This was first evaluated by Asch (1955), who asked participants to pick a line from a few choices of varying lengths that 35 matched up with another example line given to them. From a perceptual standpoint, the task was easy - as the correct choice of which lines were actually similar to one another was clear. Nevertheless, when participants were surrounded by other individuals giving the wrong 40 answer, they often conformed and made the wrong choice as well. Thus, even when the correct choice is clear, and what others are doing is wrong, that peer pressure can still cause us to doubt ourselves and follow the crowd. 45 Why is it that we are so compelled to follow the crowd, even when it is objectively clear that they are wrong? According to more recent research, we may simply be wired that way. Specifically, these social influences can actually change our perceptions and 50 memories (Edelson, Sharot, Dolan, Dudai, 2011). Therefore, rather than knowingly making the wrong choice just to conform to peer pressure, the influence of others may actually change what we see as the correct choice in the moment and remember as the right thing 55 after the fact. Beyond that, we might just have herding brains with built-in components that monitor our social alignments and make us feel good when we follow the crowd too (Shamay-Tsoory, Saporta, Marton-Alper, Gvirts, 2019). 60 Fortunately, this effect has good points as well. In many cases, group decision-making can help individuals look beyond their own private perspectives and make more rational decisions (Fahr Irlenbusch, 2011). Furthermore, pro-social and altruistic behaviors can be 65 influenced and shared through such conformity as well (Nook. Ong, Morelli, Mitchell, Zaki, 2016). Therefore, sometimes following the crowd helps people get along and make better decisions too. Given the above, when making a decision, it is 70 important to consider whether following others is a good idea - or is leading you astray instead. Some simple steps can help you figure it out. Getting swept away by that everyone else is doing is often an emotional and thoughtless process. We 75 are conforming simply because we have not given sufficient attention and effort toward considering any other options. Therefore, unless you are in an emergency situation and need to immediately follow everyone else toward the nearest exit, it might be a good 80 idea to switch to more deliberate thinking processes, rather than just going with your initial reaction. Some choices and decision-making situations are more individual, while others are more social. Therefore, it is important to consider the specific 85 situation. Is this an individual choice, or does it involve others? If you have sufficient information to make a clear choice on your own, and you do not need the 90 support of others to make something heppen, then taking the opinion of other into consideration might be a good idea instead. It is generally a good idea to evaluate your choices and decisions from multiple perspectives. The 95 same is true for following the opinion of others too. Although it might not feel that way at times, especially on the modern day of media coverage and social networking, everyone is not doing it - whatever it is that you are considering. Given that, before you follow 100 the advice or choices of any particular group of people, it might be a good idea to look at what other groups of people are doing or choosing too. In addition, we can learn a lot from people making choices contrary to ourselves or our preferred group, particularly about 105 potential down-sides to choices we might not be seeing. Therefore, if you do need to look to others to help provide information regarding a particular choice or decision, then it might help to seek out people with a few different opinions, weigh your options among them, and 110 figure out what will work best for you.

(AFA - 2022 - Modelo A - Questo 7) TEXT When making a decision, it is a common impulse to look and see what others are doing. Nevertheless, it is often unclear whether the path that everyone else may be following is good for us as well. After all, sometimes 5 following the crowd had merit - at other times, itis simply peer pressure blinding us. The phenomenon of looking to other and following the crowd ______ by social science for a long time. Nevertheless, those findings do not always make 10their way to individual decision-makers. Therefore, lets review why people conform to the crowd - and under what conditions it is a good idea to go your own way instead. To start, individuals tend to look to the opinions of 15 others, especially when they are unsure and lack information from other sources. This dynamic was supported by classic research from Sherif (1937), who explored how a persons perception of a very ambiguous stimuli can be influenced by the opinion of others. Sherif 20(1937) asked participants to watch a small light in a dark and featureless room and evaluate how much that light moved at all - but the way our perception works in thar situation gives the possible ilusion of movement (called 25 the Autokinetic Effect). In this uncertain and ambiguous perceptual situation, Sherif (1937) found that individuals were quite susceptible to the influence of the opinions of others when trying to decide how much light was moving. 30 Unfortunately, this phenomenon also extends to individuals following the crowd, even when they can clearly see that others are wrong. This was first evaluated by Asch (1955), who asked participants to pick a line from a few choices of varying lengths that 35 matched up with another example line given to them. From a perceptual standpoint, the task was easy - as the correct choice of which lines were actually similar to one another was clear. Nevertheless, when participants were surrounded by other individuals giving the wrong 40 answer, they often conformed and made the wrong choice as well. Thus, even when the correct choice is clear, and what others are doing is wrong, that peer pressure can still cause us to doubt ourselves and follow the crowd. 45 Why is it that we are so compelled to follow the crowd, even when it is objectively clear that they are wrong? According to more recent research, we may simply be wired that way. Specifically, these social influences can actually change our perceptions and 50 memories (Edelson, Sharot, Dolan, Dudai, 2011). Therefore, rather than knowingly making the wrong choice just to conform to peer pressure, the influence of others may actually change what we see as the correct choice in the moment and remember as the right thing 55 after the fact. Beyond that, we might just have herding brains with built-in components that monitor our social alignments and make us feel good when we follow the crowd too (Shamay-Tsoory, Saporta, Marton-Alper, Gvirts, 2019). 60 Fortunately, this effect has good points as well. In many cases, group decision-making can help individuals look beyond their own private perspectives and make more rational decisions (Fahr Irlenbusch, 2011). Furthermore, pro-social and altruistic behaviors can be 65 influenced and shared through such conformity as well (Nook. Ong, Morelli, Mitchell, Zaki, 2016). Therefore, sometimes following the crowd helps people get along and make better decisions too. Given the above, when making a decision, it is 70 important to consider whether following others is a good idea - or is leading you astray instead. Some simple steps can help you figure it out. Getting swept away by that everyone else is doing is often an emotional and thoughtless process. We 75 are conforming simply because we have not given sufficient attention and effort toward considering any other options. Therefore, unless you are in an emergency situation and need to immediately follow everyone else toward the nearest exit, it might be a good 80 idea to switch to more deliberate thinking processes, rather than just going with your initial reaction. Some choices and decision-making situations are more individual, while others are more social. Therefore, it is important to consider the specific 85 situation. Is this an individual choice, or does it involve others? If you have sufficient information to make a clear choice on your own, and you do not need the 90 support of others to make something heppen, then taking the opinion of other into consideration might be a good idea instead.

After all, sometimes 5 following the crowd had merit - at other times, itis simply peer pressure blinding us. The phenomenon of looking to other and following the crowd ______ by social science for a long time. Nevertheless, those findings do not always make 10their way to individual decision-makers. Therefore, lets review why people conform to the crowd - and under what conditions it is a good idea to go your own way instead. To start, individuals tend to look to the opinions of 15 others, especially when they are unsure and lack information from other sources. This dynamic was supported by classic research from Sherif (1937), who explored how a persons perception of a very ambiguous stimuli can be influenced by the opinion of others. Sherif 20(1937) asked participants to watch a small light in a dark and featureless room and evaluate how much that light moved at all - but the way our perception works in thar situation gives the possible ilusion of movement (called 25 the Autokinetic Effect). In this uncertain and ambiguous perceptual situation, Sherif (1937) found that individuals were quite susceptible to the influence of the opinions of others when trying to decide how much light was moving. 30 Unfortunately, this phenomenon also extends to individuals following the crowd, even when they can clearly see that others are wrong. This was first evaluated by Asch (1955), who asked participants to pick a line from a few choices of varying lengths that 35 matched up with another example line given to them. From a perceptual standpoint, the task was easy - as the correct choice of which lines were actually similar to one another was clear. Nevertheless, when participants were surrounded by other individuals giving the wrong 40 answer, they often conformed and made the wrong choice as well. Thus, even when the correct choice is clear, and what others are doing is wrong, that peer pressure can still cause us to doubt ourselves and follow the crowd. 45 Why is it that we are so compelled to follow the crowd, even when it is objectively clear that they are wrong? According to more recent research, we may simply be wired that way. Specifically, these social influences can actually change our perceptions and 50 memories (Edelson, Sharot, Dolan, Dudai, 2011). Therefore, rather than knowingly making the wrong choice just to conform to peer pressure, the influence of others may actually change what we see as the correct choice in the moment and remember as the right thing 55 after the fact. Beyond that, we might just have herding brains with built-in components that monitor our social alignments and make us feel good when we follow the crowd too (Shamay-Tsoory, Saporta, Marton-Alper, Gvirts, 2019). 60 Fortunately, this effect has good points as well. In many cases, group decision-making can help individuals look beyond their own private perspectives and make more rational decisions (Fahr Irlenbusch, 2011). Furthermore, pro-social and altruistic behaviors can be 65 influenced and shared through such conformity as well (Nook. Ong, Morelli, Mitchell, Zaki, 2016). Therefore, sometimes following the crowd helps people get along and make better decisions too. Given the above, when making a decision, it is 70 important to consider whether following others is a good idea - or is leading you astray instead. Some simple steps can help you figure it out. Getting swept away by that everyone else is doing is often an emotional and thoughtless process. We 75 are conforming simply because we have not given sufficient attention and effort toward considering any other options. Therefore, unless you are in an emergency situation and need to immediately follow everyone else toward the nearest exit, it might be a good 80 idea to switch to more deliberate thinking processes, rather than just going with your initial reaction. Some choices and decision-making situations are more individual, while others are more social. Therefore, it is important to consider the specific 85 situation. Is this an individual choice, or does it involve others? If you have sufficient information to make a clear choice on your own, and you do not need the 90 support of others to make something heppen, then taking the opinion of other into consideration might be a good idea instead. It is generally a good idea to evaluate your choices and decisions from multiple perspectives. The 95 same is true for following the opinion of others too. Although it might not feel that way at times, especially on the modern day of media coverage and social networking, everyone is not doing it - whatever it is that you are considering. Given that, before you follow 100 the advice or choices of any particular group of people, it might be a good idea to look at what other groups of people are doing or choosing too. In addition, we can learn a lot from people making choices contrary to ourselves or our preferred group, particularly about 105 potential down-sides to choices we might not be seeing. Therefore, if you do need to look to others to help provide information regarding a particular choice or decision, then it might help to seek out people with a few different opinions, weigh your options among them, and 110 figure out what will work best for you.
