Answer: It is most likely that Josephine is <em>exhibiting hindsight bias.</em>

Explanation:

She is showing hindsight bias since she is telling others that she knew who would win the election. This is because she lost or the candidates she was for  and in reality had no way to know who the winner was. If she did have some special insight into knowing who the winner was, it would be election fraud.

This has also been called "knew-it-all-along phenomenon" and in some places "creeping determinism."

When someone thinks they know how the outcome will be and is proven wrong, they will exhibit this type of bias. It happens in history books, elections, and everyday life.

olchik [2.2K]
Disabled individuals receive more discrimation because they are deemed to be less able to do basic tasks. People who hold prejudices and are judgemental allow a barrier to build around disabled people, because they associate them with a lack of mental ability. In this sense, disabled people are almost inferior in their surroundings because they are open to labels.

Furthermore, some are unwilling to hold faith in disabled people because they believe that they are incapable of understanding their environment the same as non - disabled people. Unfortunately, some have the notion that the dis abled are weak and eccentric, which is a driving force for stereotypes and mockery.

What is the collective effort to keep our community clean?​
atroni [7]

As the global population increases rapidly, societies around the world need to come up with more efficient solutions to controlling waste. Excess litter and refuse pose a serious threat to the environment. Illegal dumping and littering are two of the major contributors to pollution in our rivers, oceans, public spaces and countryside. Keeping our environment clean is a collective responsibility that we all share.

Every citizen has a role to play in protecting the environment from pollution. We need to eradicate litter and avoid irresponsible waste disposal practices immediately. There is no excuse for plastic waste in the environment – it should always be recycled and thrown away in a responsible manner. Make a point of finding out more about what can and can’t be recycled, and start separating at home. Plastic is a valuable resource that is too important to simply dump and never use again.

We need to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste wherever possible. This will keep litter out of the environment. The South African Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries is concerned about the amount of pollution in our rivers, dams and oceans. Every South African needs to take responsibility for their waste and disposal habits.
