This class taught me how to recognize the unethical errors and avoid implicit bias during the decision-making process. In the practice of Carter Racing case, all of our team members agreed to race when decided individually and insisted our decision after the group discussion. It was interesting to realize later on that we tended to seek out information that supports existing instincts and viewpoints while avoided information that contradicted them. When deciding whether to race in the final race of the season, despite unexplained engine failure, we subtly and unconsciously looked for information that supported our desire to race. Therefore, anchoring on a particular piece of data and seeking confirming information would lead to decision-making
In The Art of Racing in the Rain, Denny, Eve, and Enzo were characterized by the major roles in filling this great novel with action, emotion, and drama. Many people can learn many things from this book, whether it be good or bad. It was filled with life, death and new beginnings that played a crucial role in the story. Denny showed his determination and love for his family throughout the story. Eve showed the transition from life to death in the most beautiful way. Finally Enzo showed how precious life is and how much you can learn on the way.
Lastly, Nacar has a lot of entertainment. As in entertainment, I mean drama! When it comes to Drag racing, there is not anything to get angry about at another driver, since the drivers are separate and have shorter races. Nascar has an exorbitant amount of drama, especially if one driver wrecks another. Not including Drag racing, a Nascar fan can see the drama on television from the

The culture, rules and regulations, and the races.
The riveting journey of Enzo and Denny takes place in Seattle, Washington. The two main characters of Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain are a unique dynamic duo made up of a smart yellow Labrador named Enzo, and a racecar driver named Denny. The story of their experiences is told through the analytical eyes and nose of Enzo. I found this approach intriguing and captivating because it differs from the traditional way of story telling. Enzo is different from other dogs because he believes he is a dog with a human soul. “I’ve always felt almost human. I’ve always known that there’s something about me that’s different than other dogs. Sure, I’m … the shell. It’s what’s inside that’s important. The soul. And my soul is very

Everyone knows that Usain Bolt's name was no coincidence, but Jesse Owens is definitely Bolt´s side-by-side racer. These two may be from two different centuries, but they are like twins from parallel times.
The typical Indycar fan differs from other motorsports fan because of the difference in marketing and the sponsorship of both sports. In regards to NASCAR reaching levels of popularity in the United States, the sponsors and audience devoted to this sport outnumbers Indycar (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). NASCAR has worked on expanding the brand and reaching different regions throughout the United States. The fact that NASCAR was able to work out a substantial contract with Fox and ESPN, Indycar has not been able to reach the same level of success.
The Chronicle of Le Mans depicts events that took place in the French town of Le Mans toward the late 10th century. The document tells primarily of the evil acts of Sehok ben Esther Israeli, a former Jew who has converted to Christianity, and how he strove against the Jewish community in Le Mans. By examining this text, we can glimpse the beginnings of Jewish animosity toward converts; the events of the text purportedly took place in 992 CE, which, if true, situate the text in the beginning of Christian missionizing efforts and the glorification of martyrdom that Jews took on in place of converting. However, the

After seeing “the Fast and the Furious” many people have or wanted to become involved in street racing. They do not realize that this is a sport that takes knowledge, hard work, and nerve. Many of these racers have spent their lives under a car, learning the trade and improving upon it. As I have learned, this is not just a hobby; it is a way of life.
People wondered about this racing many years ago. The cars were very different from today’s formula ones. The question of safety and also the atmosphere of racing was different. It was a risk to drive so fast and a lot of tragic accidents happened. Also the rules have been changed since the first race was held. The rules are very strict today for safety. According

Among those industries, one of the most popular is the racing one. It has been evolving since it has started. And to say that it is very popular in this generation would be a huge understatement.
