In the reading about Pinto`s case, I found very interesting the concepts of

scripts and schemas, since we use this every day in ours decisions, without realizing
it. In the class, it was possible to connect this concepts with a type of decision called
programmed decision, which applies a solution from past experience to a structured
problem, and it was also possible to discuss the presence of ethics in decisions
making. Another topic addressed in class was the judgment under uncertainty,
based in three heuristics, which are:
-Representativeness: people judge based in the characteristics that are given
to them, without taking into consideration others factors, like probability.
- Availability: people take into consideration the frequency or probality of an
event by the ease with which instances or occurrences can be brought to mind.
- Adjustment and anchoring: estimates by starting from an initial value.
