Answer:

Material culture

Explanation:

Material culture refers to the physical pieces that make up a culture, in other words, it refers to things that have been created by humans.

By studying the physical objects of a culture we gain a better understanding of the lives of the people who interacted with those objects. Material culture is our way to get insight into the nonmaterial culture (which refers to ideas, values and beliefs of a culture).

The Smithsonian collection contains the first-ever plastic toothbrush, which soon will be nothing more than a pile of crumbs. Other museums have experienced problems with preservation of plastic objects, which are disintegrating over time.

These objects are examples of material culture since <u>they are physical pieces that make up our culture and that were created by humans.</u>

Thus by losing these objects we would be losing the story of our material culture.

NikAS [45]

Precontemplation stage of change is expected by Horatio.

Explanation:

Precontemplation is a stage in which people are not serious about changing behavior and are not interested in taking any kind of help from other people. In this state, people protect their present bad habit or habits.

Apart from this, sometimes they can be defensive in front of the other people's efforts to pressure to leave them. In more simple word, in this particular stage people shows no interest in leaving their bad habits and don’t want to discuss their problem with others.

Occurs when a person has difficulty meeting in a role expectations of a single status.
Artist 52 [7]

The right answer is B) Role Strain. Role strain occurs when demands higher than expected are put on an individual performing <u>a specific role</u> or task, causing him or her to experience difficulties or stress. An example of this situation could be this: "My job is causing me role strain and I am getting very anxious." It is important to distinguish between "role strain" and "role conflict," which happens when two or more roles performed by the same person are incompatible, creating stress or difficulty in that person.
