Illusion [34]

Answer:

a Self-fullfiling prophecy.

Explanation:

Self-fulfilling prophecies are psychological phenomena in which individuals predict an event, and due to their conscious or unconscious behavior, said event ends up happening.

For instance, Jim has a physics exam in two weeks. The exam is about thermodynamics, a topic that James dislikes because he doesn't understand it. After hearing the news that the exam was coming, he immediately claims that he was going to fail the exam. Out of resignation, he thinks: why bother studying, I'm not good at thermodynamics, and even though he may not realize it, he is setting himself up to fail. The day of the exam comes, and because he did not study one bit during the last two weeks, he loses the exam.

In this particular case, Marcus has a big wrestling match coming up, but he fears that he will lose. The week before the match, he claims that he is "really busy with other studies," and does not practice at all. Even though he may not realize he is doing this, he is setting himself up so that he will have an "excuse" in case he loses the match. Marcus is apparently engaging in a self-fullfilling prophecy.

Which of the following statements about the migration of workers to other countries is false?
Vladimir79 [104]

The correct answer is C. Remittances represent capital flow from the home country to the host country.

Explanation:

Migration refers to the movement of people from their home country to a foreign country where they can stay temporarily or permanently. One of the main causes in migration nowadays is job opportunities as people from underdeveloped and developing countries including skilled and unskilled workers leave their countries for better job opportunities and in the case of some workers, especially unskilled workers they often sent part of the money earned in the foreign or host country to relatives in the home country, which is called Remittance. Therefore, remittances refer to a capital flow from the host country to the home country  (not the opposite) and this supports the economies of both countries. Thus, the statement that is false about migration is "Remittances represent capital flow from the home country to the host country".
