Answer to Question 1

Employees have to guard against thinking stereotypically about different types of organizational members. One way to do so is to encourage members of an organization to think about the characteristics that really affect job performance, as opposed to irrelevant characteristics like age, race, or gender.

Answer to Question 2

When we rely on experiences and the knowledge we have gathered from a variety of sources to interpret and make sense of any new person or situation we encounter, we are using schemas. These abstract knowledge structures are stored in memory and allow people to organize and interpret information about a given target of perception. Schemas influence the sensory input we pay attention to and the input we ignore. By selecting sensory input consistent with existing schemas and discounting or ignoring inconsistent input, schemas are reinforced and strengthened. Although schemas are resistant to change, they are not immutable.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
