Answer:

The right answer is:  d. self-censorship

Explanation:

This example concerns a combat situation in the military, but the described behavior is very common in many professions. The captain is convinced that the general´s strategy won´t be sucessful and that many lives will be lost, but he´s afraid of saying his opinion because other officers or even some of his own soldiers may think he´s a coward. Such examples have been seen in real-life cases in historical wars. Judging that he couldn´t stand repudiation or even a risk to his own career, he prefers to remain silent, to censor himself.

Creativity is very different depending on the "domain" in which it exists. Group of answer choices True False
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Creativity is different based on the area in which it is applied. if Einstein had studied Music, perhaps he would have performed woefully but since the domain of his creativity is in the sciences-Physics at that, he became known as a genius. even if he had delved into an area outside physics but within the sciences, say biology, it is possible he doesn't make a wave because that is not his domain. Hence, creativity is very different based on domain.
