Answer:

The answer is d. social comparison.

Explanation:

This concept explains that a person might determine his social worth by comparing himself to others. This might improve or worsen the person's self-esteem and motivation; however, research has shown that the effects of social comparison are mostly negative.

Although it's common that people compare themselves to a person with similar characteristics, the prevalence of mass media has led to comparisons to celebrities, which may cause feelings of stress and inferiority.

What encourages mexican workers to come to untied states, and how do these workers affect mexicos economy
morpeh [17]

What most encourage Mexican immigration to the United States is the possibility of getting a job. The economic situation in Mexico is very bad and applies mainly to poorer people.

The United States has millions of options for immigrants to work, sometimes they are not well paid and are inhuman, but the chance of getting a job is more important for them.

This affects Mexican economy positively as emigrants (living in the U.S.) are able to help their families that still live in Mexico and diminish the levels of poverty.

Which of these does not describe how the Greek government regulated the economy of Ancient Greece?
beks73 [17]
The correct answer is: B) it placed taxes on purchase of all goods 
Ancient Greece did not have a system for direct taxation, therefore, it cannot place tax over the purchase of all goods. At the time, tax was only collected from the wealthiest Greeks during times of need (usually war).
