Answer:

the bystander effect.

Explanation:

According to the bystander effect one is less likely to help a person when there number of people in the vicinity is high.

The reasons why this happens is due to three factors, diffusion of responsibility, ambiguity and behaving according to social norms.

  • Diffusion of responsibility

When there are a lot of people around one might think that someone else will take the responsibility of taking action. This may happen as one might think that someone else might be better suited to handle the situation

  • Ambiguity

If the situation is not clearly understood by the bystander then they will be less likely to help.

  • Social norms

One might think if they would help it would be going against the social norms and hence hesitate to do so.

Here, Mr. Hughes has decided not to help because of the diffusion of responsibility.

Hence, his reaction illustrates the bystander effect.

The parent-teacher organization is selling baskets of cookies for a school fundraiser. The materials needed to make each basket
vaieri [72.5K]

The correct answer would be 12 Baskets.

If they spend $75 to advertise their sale, 12 baskets must be sold to break even.

Explanation:

Break even is a point where there is no loss and no profit for the product produced and sold.

Now material needed to make each basket = $3.75

Selling Price of Baskets = $10

Profit on each basket = Selling Price - Cost to make basket = $10 - $3.75 = $6.25

So the advertising expense is $75. Then to find that how many baskets must be sold to break even, we would divide the advertisement cost with the profit on each basket as follows:

$75 / $6.25 = 12

So 12 baskets are needed to be sold in order to break even.

How did airplanes change people lives/ society/ the environment? <br> Both pros and cons.
mario62 [17]

Airplanes brought several changes to our societies, lives and environment. Within the pros of this new mean of transport we can find the increase of the speed in which we travel and goods reach another shore. This affected positively the price of merchandises, which became easier to obtain around the world. What in the past was limited to be transported by land or across the sea, with the risk of never arriving, now it is very easy to obtain. Of course that they also opened a lot of new job opportunities for quite a few people. New careers were created and now a lot of people profit from this industry. Last but not least is the industry of tourism. Travelling has become much easier and practical since planes began to transport us.

On the other hand, the impact on the environment was not as good as in the others. Planes consume, and realease in the atmosphere, fosil fuels. This is limiting our natural resources at an incredible speed, apart from the fact that it contributes negatively to the matter of pollution.

Irina18 [472]

Answer: Evaluate the need for medical or protective services.

Explanation:

According to what we know about the cycle of abuse, the woman and her boyfriend are probably in the honeymoon phase that follows a violent episode. Despite the women saying it was an isolated incident, and the time that has passed since then, violence in the future is a certain possibility, as the honeymoon phase usually leads to tension building and further violence. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, medical needs and safety issues must be addressed first.
