Answer:

dissonance        

Explanation:

Cognitive dissonance: The term is proposed by Leon Festinger in 1957. He believed that cognitive dissonance is the aversive or devious state of arousal that arises when a person conflicts among two or more cognitions and these cognitions are inconsistent with each other.

Example: A man smokes continuously instead of knowing that it can lead to cancer.

The term dissonance refers to the process when an individual's behavior conflicts with his or her beliefs. The dissonance can be reduced by adding new beliefs that can reduce conflicting behavior.

In the question above, Jeanine's original confusion is now resolved, reducing the dissonance she experienced.

The oedipus complex is thought to occur in which stage of psychosexual development?
Finger [1]

Answer:

Phallic.

Explanation:

The Oedipus complex is part of Freud's psychosexual theory. This theory states that as we grow old we go through different stages, and this stages start since the moment of birth and until adolescence and adulthood.

The stages are:

  1. Oral
  2. An al
  3. Phallic
  4. Latency
  5. Genital.

The Oedipus complex is the most important characteristic of the phallic stage.

The name of this complex derives from a Greek myth in which Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother (unknowingly). Once he discovers what he did, he pokes his eyes and becomes blind.

According to Freud, children from 3 to 6 years old go through this Phallic stage and the conflict arises when the boy develops desires for his mother.  Since he cannot take her mom as "spouse" the boy resolves this problem by imitating masculine dad-type behaviors and this is how boys resolve the Oedipus complex.

The UK Premier League Football Players are all wearing armbands that read "say no to racism". Why is it important for them to do
DENIUS [597]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It is true that the UK Premier League Football Players are all wearing armbands that read "say no to racism". This is important for them to do because this shows the union and solidarity they have with the terrible issue of racism in the world. Let's remind us that racism is not only a severe problem in the United States. Racism is an issue in many different parts of the planet.

The effect that this has on people who are watching the games is powerful because this sends a powerful message of unity. In the UK Premier League, there are people from different nations: Europeans, Africans, Mexicans, Latin Americans, and more.

So when people watch this symbol of solidarity among players, this invites people to reflect on how they can participate in the solution of racism in their countries and cities.
