Question 1.1. TCO 5. The Beijing Olympic Games were all over
the news in 2008, well before opening day on August 8th.
World leaders, human rights groups, and sports celebrities
condemned China's policies in Tibet. As the Olympic torch
began its world tour, Beijing faced a fresh wave of international
criticism over human rights issues, because of China's latest
crackdown on Tibet. Talk of boycotting the 29th Olympiad was
widely heard within the international community.
Among the countries criticizing China were two nations that had
and continue to have questionable records on human rights
issues internally, and have been widely criticized for their
international human rights policy failures, Canada and the

6. United States. Even so, just before the opening ceremonies,
George Bush promoted the virtues of American-style democracy
and scolded China for its repression, and Canadian Prime
Minister Stephen Harper encouraged China to change its ways
towards dissidence.
Apply the course concepts of ethnocentrism and moral
hypocrisy to the criticisms of China made by these international
leaders. What do you conclude about their behaviors? Hint:
Explicitly use each course concept by name and also give a one
sentence definition of it before explaining how it applies to this
case.

Question 2.2. TCO 6. The Beltway sniper attacks in the
Washington D.C. area, in 2002, completely transfixed American
consciousness for the three weeks in October, when a pair of
armed killers roamed through the Capital region, ambushing and
killing 10 people, and wounding three others. As time
progressed and law enforcement officials were having little luck
in solving the case, tensions and apprehensiveness spread far
beyond the area where the killings were concentrated. Even
though there was never any hard evidence that the killers were
headed in their direction, the citizens of towns and cities a
hundred miles away were terrorized by the notion that the
killers were about to show up in their communities.
Discuss this with respect to the effects of suggestibility that
Myers writes about in Chapter 6. Be specific as to what aspects
of suggestibility apply to the case.

7. Question 3.3. TCO's 4 and 12. At the 1994 Winter Olympics,
American figure skaters Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan
became embroiled in bitter conflict. Harding, envious of the
attention the media paid to Kerrigan, arranged for an attack on
her at the Olympic trials. Harding's husband and a confederate,
accosted Kerrigan with a pipe, and struck her hard on the knee,
causing significant injury. When the facts of the matter became
public, Harding was banned for life from participating in
competition figure skating.
This is a two part question:
a. What is it about the fundamental nature and structure of the
Olympics that helps explain why the conflict arose and
escalated?
b. Was the form of aggression displayed by the attackers
hostile aggression or instrumental aggression? Explain your
reasoning. (Note: you must make a decision between these
alternatives and defend your decision.)

Question 4.4. TCO 9. One rarely sees a homely person in a
romantic leading role on television, or in the movies, or as an

Ripa, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon are examples.
Name two (2) factors of interpersonal attraction mentioned in
the textbook that would explain why audiences prefer
celebrities with pleasing looks.
