Answer:

The dessert that a pulling his behavior can be best described through the incentive theory of motivation.

Explanation:

According to the incentive theory of motivation, our behaviors are influenced not by an intrinsic (internal) push, but by an extrinsic (external) pull. That is, we do what we do in order to obtain rewards - money, fame, beauty, etc. Simple examples of this external pull are situations such as Colin's, where the person does not really need to do something, but does it anyway simply because he is drawn to it. Colin is not hungry, but still chooses to eat the exotic desserts simply because they're there, available - and exotic. It is not different from someone who buys a new dress without needing it, just because they feel drawn to it. The dress itself is the incentive. However, let's highlight the fact that, on different occasions, the incentive may present a different value.

What is the defining differences between liberalism and conservatism?​
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

<u>Liberalism</u>

Left-wing, federalist. Prefer more regulation and services like free universal health care to be provided by the government to all citizens.

Government should provide more services to the less fortunate (like health care) and increase taxes if necessary. High-income earners should pay a larger percentage of their income as taxes.

<u></u>

<u>conservatism</u>

Right-wing, anti-federalist. Prefer smaller government, less regulation, most services to be provided by the private sector in a free market, and a literal interpretation of the Constitution.

Government should tax less and spend less. Cutting spending to balance the budget should be the priority. Higher income earners should have an incentive to invest (credits). Charity is the responsibility of the people.

True or False? Symbolic interactionists focus on how people interpret and define their social reality and the meanings they atta
olga_2 [115]

The correct answer is True

Explanation:

Symbolic interactionism is one of the main theories in sociology, this proposes individuals construct reality through symbols or language. According to this theory, each person interacts with others and understands his/her social reality based on symbols. Due to this, this theory is mainly used to understand the way interaction occurs and the meaning of this.

The previous ideas suggest a symbolic interactionist (person who advocates symbolic interactionism) would focus on individuals' interpretation of reality though meanings, language and symbols and therefore the statement "Symbolic interactionists focus on how people interpret..." is true.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Correct answer: Igor Stravisnky's great diversity of music styles.

Explanation:

The Russian composer Igor Stravinsky has been recognized as the most important figure in the musical panorama of the 20th century. His influence on the development of the new currents of the twentieth century resembles that of the painter Pablo Picasso in the plastic arts. Much of his life has been narrated by the author himself in the book "Stravinsky: an autobiography", published in New York in 1939. Stravisnky's great diversity of music styles, from baroque music to dodecaphonism, makes each of his works different but always maintaining a great personality.
