The aim of the person was a great factor in differentiating between the theoretical and experimental probability. According to our data (experimental) from our photograph poster , which had about 240 datum in it, said that Paris was the most hit photograph with 14.3 % of the pennies landing there, and the Disneyworld landed at second with 9.1% of the pennies landing on it. Similarly, in our theoretical data, the probability of a penny landing on Paris was the greatest at 7.3%/. On the other hand, our theoretical data also showed that landing on Disney World was very unlikely, at 4.4%. The fact that a lot of the pennies ended up landing in the Disney World photograph shows that people were likely aiming for that particular photograph because
Shearing and Stenning's analysis in "From Panopticon to Disneyland” demonstrates Foucault's ideas concerning the disciplinary society. Foucault defined a disciplinary society as “A society characterized by increasing surveillance wherein citizens learn to constantly monitor themselves because they are being monitored. A society in which control over people is pervasive”. Shearing and Stenning’s article does this by illustrating to us how Disney goes about its day to day operations. An example is when exiting the parking lot to get on the monorail to go to the park the people on the train tell all guests to stay with their family for safety. However, this is really done to accomplish two things, one maintain family unity, and two to keep children with their parents so that if a child misbehaves the parents can discipline them instead of the park. “Thus, for example, the batching that keeps families together provides for family unity while at the same time ensuring that parents will be able to control their children” (Shearing and Stenning pg. 298). Foucault’s definition also states that control over people is pervasive or spread throughout. Disney’s way of controlling people is also pervasive, because every garden and fountain are not
In his essay Piore also mentions "the near miss" effect and how it also drives Americans to want to continue playing and playing. "Many players experience 'the near miss, ' which creates the illusion that they came close to winning a multimillion dollar jackpot. Most players don 't realize, however, that "near miss" is an illusion. The odds of winning get worse with each successive match."
One of the most controversial short stories in its history is “The Lottery”, written by Shirley Jackson. The Lottery takes place in a sunny, beautiful day in an unnamed town.

Disney shows and shows similar to such have taught us from a young age the concept of “happily ever after". This is a fairy-tale of absolute happiness. It is a state of feeling good all the time. In fairy tales, this feeling is usually found in fulfilling marriages, royal castles, singing birds and laughing children. In real life sometimes finding that happiness isn’t as easy as a fairy tale makes it look like. Research suggests that if you focus too much on trying to feel good all the time, you’ll actually undermine your ability to ever feel good because no amount of feeling good will be satisfying to you, that is when you become a perfectionist. If feeling good all the time were the only requirement for happiness, then a person who uses cocaine every day would be extremely happy receiving the same euphoria or natural happiness. Natural happiness is what we get when we get what we wanted, and synthetic happiness is what we make when we
The Lottery movie and the book were alike and different in many ways. They both had like the same theme. But they were mostly different. Personally I would prefer the movie over the book… Mostly because the book confused me a lot.

Although from an outside perspective many cases of globalisation may simply seem to increase cultural homogeneity, one culture can alter different parts of a global culture and incorporate them into their own and create cultural heterogeneity. In simpler terms, homogenisation and heterogenisation are both features of modern globalisation. Evidence for the contended statements above will be provided through the evaluation of case studies regarding global companies such as Starbucks and Disneyland Parks adapting to the local cultures of the areas to which they have spread to within the Asia-Pacific region. Not only global brands highlight the interconnectedness of homogenised and heterogenised cultures, but the glocalisation of traditional rites

It is how likely an event is to happen. The probability of an event will always be between 0 and 1. The closer it is to one, the more likely the event is to happen.
