"Family Guy and Philosophy"
Read the "Family Guy and Philosophy" excerpt of chapter 12 and answer the following questions.
1. Give one example each of inductive and deductive reasoning.
2. In what aspects of your life have you encountered examples of hasty generalization and ad hominem?
- sters were put on the bins to highlight what went in them like the ones below, they were also put on the wall above the bin.
- On the bar level we set up 2 cadges, 1 for cardboard and 1 for all the full bags of plastic, cans etc. A poster was again placed in the area detailing how these were meant to be laid out.
- Choosing an incentive, in order to make it realistic and cost effective it was difficult in choosing an appropriate incentive as this was an overall team effort and could not be reported on individual staff merits easily. It was decided between the management team that we would break it down into each period (month).
- Period 9: if the % of recycling achieved that period reached a minimum of 60% the staff would get a case of monster and a basket of sweets and chocolate to share that weekend Period 10: if the % of recycling achieved that period reached a minimum of 80% the staff would each receive a free meal each.
- Period 11: If the % of recycling achieved that period reached a minimum of 95% then I would arrange for the pub to be covered all day and night for staff paintballing then a night out.
- Once all bins, cadges and posters were in place, we took the staff around the different areas and showed them the new bins and cadge layout and what went where. This was done as a pre-shift briefing and took 5 – 10 mins. We also told them about the incentive which they were all very excited about and the financial gain that the recycling would encounter which could then potentially give us more bonus through our profit bonus.
- Managers were told that they needed to monitor the bins daily throughout their shift and coach anyone not complying to the new processes.
