Answer:

The answer is reaction formation.

Explanation:

Reaction formation is a defense mechanism is which a person exhibits a behaviour that is <u>radically opposite</u> from what he really feels. In the example, Felix shows excessive dislike to hide his true feelings about Rita.

This mechanism is believed to occur because either people are afraid of being discovered, thus negatively affecting their lives; or because they perceive their own feelings as unacceptable and are trying to convince themselves to change.

Why should the fedral government have more power than state government? State over federal?
nadezda [96]

Federal Government > State Government


The rationale for this is that we live in a global world and need collective responses to global challenges. Instead of there being a Utah response and a Virginia response to the need for more STEM graduates, there should be a US response. Economies of scale also come into play. It can cost less and be more efficient to have resources centralized.


State Government > Federal Government


America was founded after a revolution rejected a strong central monarchy and America needs to continue to honor that by allowing citizens in Utah to have different approaches than Virginia. When convenient, the states can choose to collectively band together on issues like defense but that should be the exception and not the rule.
