Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

How does the concept of “idealization” contribute to the author’s key argument regarding  crushes?

A. The author argues that most crushes are idealized and therefore cannot be considered  real love.

B. The author argues that crushes, romantic or identity, involve the projection of idealized  traits that a person values and desires onto another person (i.e. the crush).

C. Idealized celebrities and celebrity crushes can give teenagers an unrealistic  understanding of individuals; this makes it more difficult for them to accept flaws.

D. Idealized relationships in popular media encourage adolescents and teenagers to seek  out romance, causing them to have more frequent crushes.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The author argues that crushes, romantic or identity, involve the projection of idealized  traits that a person values and desires onto another person (i.e. the crush).

Explanation:

The author of "Adolescence and the Teenage Crush", Dr. Carl Pickhardt, describes idealization as the process of projecting valued attributes onto another person. The most common types of crushes when in middle school, romantic or identity, are often nothing more than a result of idealization. As a matter of fact, such crushes reveal more about the person who has the crush than about the person who is the object of the crush. They serve to show what qualities are highly regarded by the person who has the crush, the characteristics that person would like to have and, for that reason, admires in others. Crushes don't last long - especially romantic ones, that tend to fade when the object is better known - but, according to Dr. Pickhardt, must be taken seriously.

An essay of "My ideal society" plsss help
Savatey [412]

Answer:

believe that humans can live peacefully together if everyone would be cooperative and conscientious to each other. My ideal view for humanity is one that will probably never be attained, but still one to hope for in my opinion. I feel that if humans lived more robotically, continually striving to contribute to society with the skills and talents that they are best with, whether it be an advanced understanding of mathematics, advanced artistic ability, or advanced athleticism. Each person doing what they do best to improve technology, contribute to the world’s knowledge base, create entertainment, or do whatever their skills allow them to do in the way of improving humanity, and in turn their lives and everyone else’s life. With such a large population, and a reproduction rate that exponentially grows the population until equilibrium is found between population and available resources, the number of biologically different individuals would allow for many types of specialization, filling the roles of society that have been established and allowing growth and development of new roles to be filled by next generations, if not members of the existing generation.

With a system like this, there would be no need for money. Everything would be free, because production would be continuous. Everyone would be fed because, in this conscientious society, nobody would take more food than they needed, or more of anything than they needed. Food could be free because farmers produce the food for everyone, while the road workers fix the roads for everyone, and the scientists advance technology for everyone. Everyone benefits from each other, so everything is shared: free medical care, free food, free tickets to the concert until all of the seats are gone. Without money, and with this overarching conscientiousness, greed would finally no longer be a flaw of humans. It would be understood between all members of this society that you only take what you need, and provide for everyone.

This reliance on conscientiousness speaks to the personalities that the humans living in this society would need to have. The people living this type of lifestyle would have to be honest, respectful, and selfless. There would be no place for arrogance, selfishness, desire for power or control, or feelings of superiority. Every person would have to believe they were equal to each other, and live for each other rather than for themselves. Hospitality and politeness would be deeply cherished traditions, where a host would be willing and insistent to sacrifice some comfort in order to help a stranger in the same way they might help a friend.

I realize that this is a very farfetched and incredibly unlikely society, but I feel that if conditions were perfect, it is a society that would work. It’s a lot to ask for, that humans eliminate greed and selfishness, but if this could be done, I think that society would be much closer to reaching perfection.
