Answer:

Shaun is using projection as a defense mechanism.

Explanation:

Defense mechanisms, just as the name states, are used when an individual is being confronted and this generates anxiety. In order to cope with that anxiety, the individual tends to make use of these as a protection or defense.

Projection is a defense mechanism in which an individual tries to <em>get rid of unwanted feelings and personal characteristics </em>and thus deposits or projects these <em>onto others</em>, in order to avoid hurting his/her self-image.

In this case, Shaun was confronted for his binge drinking and unable to cope with this, he projects onto his roommate and other individuals his age, saying they do it as well so he does not have to take the responsibility and doesn't have to <em>deal with the anxiety</em> the confrontation generated.

What are a few of the positive things the Equal Rights Amendment would have done for women in America?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Employment, property and family law.

Explanation:

The ERA has to be considered in its historical context. It was first proposed in 1923, at a time where women had little or no rights regarding work and payment and faced discrimination. The ERA proposed a total abolition of law discrimination based on sex, which would have been revolutionary at the time. Later, during the 1960s and 1970s when the ERA was again discussed, some of the problems were solved with other laws, like the Equal Pay Act or the Civil Rights Acts. However, while these acts are a key part of American Legislation, the ERA is a Constitutional Amendment, which would give a completely new level of protection.  

There is criticism, mainly because many of the laws and guarantees gained during the past 100 years have been tailored to protect women in their specificity. And many fear that the ERA would negatively override those protections. However, as an Amendment, any discrimination based on sex could be challenged based on unconstitutionality. And as of now, women still suffer discrimination and the acts and laws enacted so far are not sufficient.

The animals are amazed and horrified to see Squealer, then other pigs, walking upright, but once again the bleating of the sheep
asambeis [7]

Answer:

They changed to "4 legs good, 2 legs better"

Explanation:

This question refers to the book "Animal Farm" where animals, tired of being exploited by human beings, start a revolution to expel humans from the farm where they live and regulate anything that refers to humanity, assuming that everything that walks on two legs and bad.

However, once oppressed, pigs begin to be oppressors and establish a dictatorial system in which they are abusive towards other animals. The pigs are so similar to the human behavior that they criticized so much that they started walking on two hind legs, as erect as the man, they claimed that "4 legs good, 2 legs better".
