Cognitive dissonance, is a term used in psychology that explains the feeling of discomfort by a person who is facing two situations that contradict each other.  

An example used to explain it, is the story of the fox who very much wants to eat a bunch of grapes that is in a very high place. As the Fox can not find a way to reach it, she gives up using the excuse that the grapes are green and bitter.

To alleviate cognitive dissonance, one can:

1- Change the behavior to relieve the situation of discomfort.

2- Try to justify the discomfort with new ideas

3- Justify the discomfort.

What is human environment interaction in djibouti ?
vovikov84 [41]
Human Environment Interaction is the Interaction between the human society and the environment. Djubouti is a very small country, focused on trade, so there is little interaction between humans and environment, except for building and construction (i.e.the way people change their surrounding when they build new buildings and pave roads) - at least as compared to other countries.

Djibouti has some mines, such as for limestone, but comparatively little, and also very little farming due to its dry climate. The little of agricultural products include tomatoes and dates.

Djibouti does however have a considerate number of farm animals
