Answer:

a Self-fullfiling prophecy.

Explanation:

Self-fulfilling prophecies are psychological phenomena in which individuals predict an event, and due to their conscious or unconscious behavior, said event ends up happening.

For instance, Jim has a physics exam in two weeks. The exam is about thermodynamics, a topic that James dislikes because he doesn't understand it. After hearing the news that the exam was coming, he immediately claims that he was going to fail the exam. Out of resignation, he thinks: why bother studying, I'm not good at thermodynamics, and even though he may not realize it, he is setting himself up to fail. The day of the exam comes, and because he did not study one bit during the last two weeks, he loses the exam.

In this particular case, Marcus has a big wrestling match coming up, but he fears that he will lose. The week before the match, he claims that he is "really busy with other studies," and does not practice at all. Even though he may not realize he is doing this, he is setting himself up so that he will have an "excuse" in case he loses the match. Marcus is apparently engaging in a self-fullfilling prophecy.

Anastasy [175]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, se te olvidó mencionar cuál es tu país. Si no nos lo especificas, no sabemos de dónde eres.

Pero con el deseo de ayudarte, vamos a responder en términos generales ya que la situación de los países Latinoamericanos en muy similar en este sentido.

La situación de la educación escolar Latinoamérica, a raíz de la pandemia es verdaderamente deprimente. El rezago educativo desde marzo del 2020 cuando se ordenó el confinamiento en la mayoría de países, ha causado estragos en el sistema educativo de la mayoría de países.

Y ya ni hablar del ámbito rural. Si en las ciudades y grandes urbes, menos de la mitad de la población cuenta con computadoras y acceso a internet, la situación en el campo y las zonas rurales es verdaderamente deprimente. El acceso a la tecnología en estos lugares es sumamente limitado.

Recientemente, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) a través de la UNICEF, hizo un llamado de alerta a todos los países subdesarrollados porque en materia educativa, el rezago es tan grande, que se considera al 2020 como un año totalmente perdido en materia educativa.

How can evidence from research help you make a strong<br> argument?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Sometimes the best evidence for your argument is a hard fact or visual representation of a fact. This type of evidence can be a solid backbone for your argument, but you still need to create a context for your reader and draw the connections you want him or her to make.
