The correct answer is denial.

Denial is a defense mechanism in which an individual refuses to accept or believe something, because doing so would cause them great distress and emotional disturbance. In this instance, Mahmoud does not want to accept that his father has cancer due to which he denies the diagnosis and says that there has been a mistake in his father's diagnostic tests.

Alja [10]

Answer:

<h3>latent function.</h3>

Explanation:

American sociologist Robert K. Merton has attributed greatly to the study of sociological concept of latent function in his 1949 book "Social Theory and Social Structure". Though, it was originally founded by Bronislaw Malinowski in 1922, the concept of manifest function and latent function were thoroughly emphasized by Robert K. Merton.

The concept of latent function implies that some functions of social strategies, processes, or actions occur unconsciously or without any expectations. These functions are neither deliberate nor intended. They are the unintended positive results occurred through actions.

Here, the socially assistive robot which was created for caregiving roles has also led to the elimination of sexual abuse. This is an instance of latent function. Though elimination of sexual abuse was not unintended as its role, it has still led to an unanticipated positive result of eliminating sexual abuse.

Which is most negatively affected by erosion, climate change, and acid rain?
murzikaleks [220]

The correct answer is:

-> Habitants


Erosion and acid rain, even though they are a  natural phenomena, they has intensified more with climate change and global warming. This directly affects people's lives in many ways. Cultures are little affected when they need to change habits in order to adapt to it.

Because of the big industries (business), with all their emission of gases, there have been all these natural events and eventually global warming. Municipalities are often affected when they do not have enough infrastructure to withstand the floods of many rains. In the end, those who suffer most are the citizens living in these cities

Before paul went out of town he asked his neighbor to stop by to water his lawn. his neighbor was happy to agree. this type of helping is an example of social capital, it implies the sociability of a human group, with the aspects that allow collaboration and its use. Sociologists emphasize that social capital is made up of social networks, mutual trust and effective norms, three concepts that are not easy to define and that can vary according to the analyst's conception.
