Answer:

a. Mass hysteria

Explanation:

Mass hysteria In sociology and psychology, is a phenomenon that transmits collective illusions of threats, whether real or imaginary, through a population in society due to what they heard (rumors) and/or fear.

In medicine, mass hysteria can be said to be the spontaneous manifestation or production of chemicals in the body that makes you have the same or similar hysterical physical symptoms by a two or more people.

That is to say, you begin to feel as though you re sick or that you have a physical injury that the other person has, when In reality you do not have these things.

An Example of mass hysteria occurs when a group of people believe they are suffering from a similar disease or ailment, it is also called mass psychogenic illness or epidemic hysteria.

This is what happened when the audience(from the question) learnt that Martians has landed in new Jersey.

What are the advantages of a group (Congress) vs. an individual (the President) when it comes to setting policy? What are the di
brilliants [131]

The US Congress consists of 2 houses. The <em>House of Representatives</em>, with its 435 members and <em>The Senate</em>, with its 100 members.

In a decision-making process, it is always better to have more participants that could help come up with a better proposal or solution to a certain issue. When it comes to policymaking, having an organized group of individuals who will debate over the country's matters will offer you a greater probability of coming up with better policies in comparison to one single person. The President does have a group of advisors but in the end, it is only he or she which has the last word.

The Supreme Court has the power of <em>Judicial Review</em>. This means that it can invalidate a law that is passed by a Congress by the argument that it goes against a part of The Constitution. It can also invalidate an executive act from the President by considering it to be unlawful.

What are the influences of family in your development as an individual​
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Physical health - Many studies have shown that positive relationships with relatives lead to more positive habits later in life, such as taking better care of yourself and making healthy food choices. In contrast, negative relationships that cause stress can lead to unhealthy eating habits and poor physical self-care.A child's learning and socialization are most influenced by their family since the family is the child's primary social group. Child development happens physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually during this time.Usually, the family environment plays a large role in shaping the identity of children as they grow into adolescence and become adults. The way family members relate to one another and operate together as a social group can shape a child's self-esteem, socialization, and cultural identity.
