The correct answer is c. Self-enhancement.

We all tend to compare ourselves to others in our social world; in fact, there exists a Social Comparison theory proposed, in 1954, by psychologist Leon Festinger who adduced that people have an inborn tendency to evaluate themselves usually in comparison to others.

There are two kinds of social comparison:

1. Upward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with people we believe are better than us, most of the time looking for ways to improve our abilities.

2. Downward social comparison. When we compare to others who we consider worse off than ourselves, usually making us feel better about our own abilities.

Social comparison is an absolutely natural behavior which under normal conditions could even help us boost our self-esteem, just keep in an eye on any negative feelings that might emerge in such process.

Which of the following choices describes a characteristic of a closed system?
Naya [18.7K]
Earth can be considered as a closed system, since it only receives sunlight (energy), while the overall mass stays constant, without (almost) any exchange from space. Another example of a closed system is a saucepan or frying pan, on a stove, when its lid is closed.

How are decisions made about what products to manufacturers
nasty-shy [4]

Explanation:

Decisions regarding the product, price, promotion and distribution channels are decisions on the elements of the "marketing mix". It can be argued that product decisions are probably the most crucial as the product is the very epitome of marketing planning. Errors in product decisions are legion. These can include the imposition of a global standardised product where it is inapplicable, for example large horsepower tractors may be totally unsuitable for areas where small scale farming exists and where incomes are low; devolving decisions to affiliated countries which may let quality slip; and the attempt to sell products into a country without cognisance of cultural adaptation needs. The decision whether to sell globally standardised or adapted products is too simplistic for today's market place. Many product decisions lie between these two extremes. Cognisance has also to be taken of the stage in the international life cycle, the organisation's own product portfolio, its strengths and weaknesses and its global objectives. Unfortunately, most developing countries are in no position to compete on the world stage with many manufactured value-added products. Quality, or lack of it, is often the major letdown. As indicated earlier, most developing countries are likely to be exporting raw materials or basic and high value agricultural produce for some time to come.

What did supreme court decisions incorporating the bill of rights mean
earnstyle [38]

Prior to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States,  The Bill of Rights ( the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution) only applied to the Federal government. This meant that  states were not obliged to adopt the Amendments and the laws that came as a result of them.

After the Civil War ended, the Fourteenth Amendment was created and ratified, the Bill of Rights was now applicable not only to federal courts but also to state ones. This meant that citizens were now more protected, as federal and states obligations are the same in most cases.
