Nesterboy [21]

Answer: The correct answers are 1-increase pluralistic ignorance 2- less likely to assume it's an emergency situation

Explanation:

Pluralistic ignorance is a concept in social psychology that refers to a situation in which a group of people reject certain norms or behavior but go along with it because they feel and assume (Sometimes incorrectly) that other people accept it.

Pluralistic ignorance can explain the By-stander effect that leads people to think "if no one is saying anything or doing anything then I'm not going to say or do anything".

In this particular case, Gillian heard a squeal of brakes and a crash. She looks around and notices that no one was affected by that noise and subsequently she stays calm.

Explain what opponent-process theory would predict that you would see if you stare for a minute at a flag with alternating yello
Charra [1.4K]

Answer: you would see an afterimage of a flag with the opposing colour systems(blue,black and red in middle), then white surface of the paper

Explanation: The opponent-process theory states that the cone photoreceptors are linked together to form three opposing colour pairs: blue/yellow, red/green, and black/white and the activation of one member of the pair inhibits activity in the other.

So after staring at a white sheet of paper for a minute, the yellow, white and green parts of the three opponent-process systems would be fatigued and unable to oppose the blue, black and red parts of these systems when you stare at the white sheet of paper. Therefore after seeing white, you would see an afterimage of a flag with alternating blue and black stripes and a block of red in the middle. Once the opposing parts of the three systems recovered, the flag afterimage would disappear and you would then see the white surface of the paper.

In Hinduism, what is the role of reincarnation in achieving moksha?
irinina [24]
) To Hindus, all existence is ranked. People who live virtuously earn good karma and are reborn at a higher level of existence. Those who do evil acquire a bad karma and are reborn into suffering at a lower level of existence. In Indian art, this cycle of death and rebirth is symbolized by the image of the wheel.
2) To escape the wheel of fate, Hinduism stresses the importance of dharma, the religious and moral duties of an individual. These duties vary according to class, occupation, gender, and age.
3) Most people cannot achieve moksha in one lifetime, but Hindus believe in reincarnation. Reincarnation allows people to continue working toward moksha through several lifetimes.
