The correct answer is C. Reference group

Explanation:

In sociology, groups are classified according to their features and function for individuals, this includes primary groups, secondary groups, and reference groups. In the case of the reference group, this includes groups of people such as classmates, co-workers or any other peer group in which individuals share common features or roles and therefore this type of groups mainly serve to the individual as a standard for comparison. For example at school children compare the grades and achievements in the class of their classmates with own grades and achievements. Therefore, the type of social group that serves as a standard of comparison is the Reference group.

Answer:

The correct answer is (D) cognitive restructuring

Explanation:

In psychology, cognitive restructuring is a term that refers to a technique where negative and erroneous thoughts, known as cognitive distortions, are identified, rejected, and replaced by more positive and helpful ideas. In our case, when Tom thinks "What a dummy I am, always studying the wrong things", this self-deprecative perception of himself is a cognitive distortion. However, when Tom rejects this thought and instead goes with a much more positive "I studied some of the right things, and I will do the best I can", <u>he's engaging in cognitive restructuring</u>. This process is a core part of cognitive behavioral therapy, and has been shown to be very effective in improving mental health.

Answer:

Forgiveness is impossible. This was the thought of the philosopher Jacques Derrida, and he has a good point.

There are some things that we say are easy to forgive. But, Derrida argues, they don't actually need forgiving. I forget to reply to an email, and my friend remarks: "Oh, it didn't really matter anyway." It's not that he forgave me. He'd forgotten about the email too.Then, there are other things we say are hard to forgive, and we admire those who appear to be able to forgive nonetheless. The case of Rais Bhuiyan, who was shot by Mark Stroman, is a case in point. Bhuiyan says he forgave Stroman, and asked the Texas authorities not to execute him for his crime. But did Bhuiyan really forgive?

He writes of how Stroman was ignorant and had a terrible upbringing. He had seen signs that Stroman was now a changed man. So, it does not seem that Bhuiyan forgave his assailant. Rather, he came to understand him. He saw the crime from the perpetrator's point of view. There were reasons for the wrongdoing. That lets Stroman off the hook. It's not really forgiveness.

CS Lewis wrote: "Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive." Which is again to imply that those who think they have offered forgiveness really find they don't have anything to forgive after all.The ancient philosophers appear to have thought that forgiveness is something of a pseudo-subject, too. They hardly touched on it, for all that they dwelt on all manner of other moral concerns. It is not on any list of virtues.

Take Aristotle. He wrote about pardoning people, but only when they are not responsible. "There is pardon," he says, "whenever someone does a wrong action because of conditions of a sort that overstrain human nature, and that no one would endure." When nature has not been overstrained, justice must meet wrongdoing. Forgiveness doesn't come into it.

All this calls into question a theory in evolutionary psychology. Here, the argument is that forgiveness is essential to our evolutionary success.It's because we forgive one another that we are able to live in large groups. People in collectives like cities are bound to offend one another all the time, the theory goes. It's because we are so ready to forgive and continue to co-operate that we don't, as a rule, destroy ourselves in spirals of retribution.

But I'm not sure that's right. Evolutionary doctrine itself undermines our capacity to forgive. Rather, it teaches that we learn it's in our own self-interest to co-operate. We put up with others because, at some deep level, we know we serve ourselves in so doing. That's not forgiveness.

Surely, you might be thinking, Christianity teaches forgiveness, a forgiveness that is real. But once more, that can be challenged. Take the parable of the prodigal son. You may half remember it as the paradigmatic tale of forgiveness, the father forgiving the son in spite of his profligacy. But read it again. Forgiveness is not once mentioned. The son does not ask for it. The father does not offer it. Rather, when the son returns, the father spontaneously throws a party

Following the collapse of the USSR, Cuba’s government
Anika [276]

The correct answer is: "remained Communist".

Cuba has been a socialist state governed by the unique Communist Party since the sucess of the revolution leaded by Fidel Castro in 1959, which managed to remove the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.

After the collapse of the USSR (1991), Cuba lost its most powerful ally, that had helped them to survive after the trade embargo and the international sanctions that the US had set on Cuba. Therefore, the country experienced very severe economic consequences at this moment but this did not change the government or the economic system.
