Answer:

Bipolarity is an example of a(n): Stigmatized illness.

Explanation:

When a person suffers from a disease, and this disease is stigmatized, this person's restrictions worsen and the chances of making up for his/her disability are less. This leads to discrimination in several contexts such as the health care system and social environments, making it really difficult for the person to talk about what she/he is going through. Some of the diseases which are commonly stigmatized include mental disorders, AIDS, and some skin affections.

Shaun tends to binge-drink several times during the week, passing out in random places throughout his apartment. When confronted
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Shaun is using projection as a defense mechanism.

Explanation:

Defense mechanisms, just as the name states, are used when an individual is being confronted and this generates anxiety. In order to cope with that anxiety, the individual tends to make use of these as a protection or defense.

Projection is a defense mechanism in which an individual tries to <em>get rid of unwanted feelings and personal characteristics </em>and thus deposits or projects these <em>onto others</em>, in order to avoid hurting his/her self-image.

In this case, Shaun was confronted for his binge drinking and unable to cope with this, he projects onto his roommate and other individuals his age, saying they do it as well so he does not have to take the responsibility and doesn't have to <em>deal with the anxiety</em> the confrontation generated.

With reference to each of the following, explain how religion has shaped the cultural landscape. Support each explanation with o
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Religion has immensely shaped the cultural landacape. In terms of belief and certain practices, it is unequivocally believed that religion has done more good in the lives of people by making them jettison some fetish lifestyle which was stylishly affecting their health.

In some part of Africa, when the husband of a woman died and the kinsmen somehow believe it wasn't a timely death, certain traditional practices like bathing the corpse pouring some of the water he was bathed with into a calabash and given to the woman to drink to clear herself from the accusation has been abolished by Christian religion. Such practice is very dangerous to health as bacteria from the dead body which has stayed for days is been transferred to the woman.

Secondly, architecturally, the structures today as religion has come into villages of the world has changed. Living in bushes, mud houses meant for the gods of the land in those days has been abolished. People live comfortable in a well built house today.

In giving names to kids, no one gives devilish meaningless names to their kids because religion has taught it brings bad luck to the innocent born child. Religion made it known that the name of a person has a clear effect in his life and lifetime. Therefore, unfortunate names are no more given to new born.:
