Answer: D) groupthink

Explanation:

Groupthink refers to a situation in which a group of people come together and  make decision without thinking of the effect or outcome. People in the group collectively reach general agreement by giving optimum importance to the opinion and view of the group instead of individual’s opinion and view. It usually happens when groups have limited time to make decision and as a result they resolve to general opinion of the group. Thus, this is done in order to keep the unity and peace of the group.

Bess [88]

Answer:d. libertarian

Explanation:

Libertarians are group of individuals who seek to promote and enhance political freedom where people have freedom of choice and are not bound by any rules and regulations that defines what they should do.

Libertarians don't trust authority and state power , they are very doubtful when it comes to how the government rule the country and pose it rules on people.

They don't support the ideas of people being restricted by the government on their own lives hence a libertarian will loose the idea of the government proposing to increase the taxpayer money cause that will mean government is dictating it authority over people and that is one of the things libertarian are against.

natima [27]
The answer is helplessness theory or learned helplessness. It is when people feel helpless to avoid negative situations because previous experience has shown them that they do not have control. An example is imagine that you just failed a major test. There are some things that you could say were the reason for that: 'I'm stupid.' 'I didn't study hard enough.' 'The test was too hard.'

Each of those reasons can be seen as a not the same type of attribution. An attribution is an aspect that a person blames for the consequence of a situation. The three types of attribution is global, stable, and internal. An internal attribution is any attribution that gives the root of an event as something to do with the person, as contrasting to something in the outside world. A stable attribution is one that doesn't change over time or across situations. Finally, a global attribution is the acceptance that the factors affecting the consequence relates to a large number of situations, not just one of them.
