Answer:

functional fixedness

Explanation:

                     Functional fixedness is a psychological concept when a person's ability to use a particular object to perform a task is restricted when that object is traditionally used for a specific kind of work.

                      For example a kitchen knife is used to cut vegetables and fruits in the kitchen. So a person with functional fixedness, will not use that knife for other purposes other than cutting vegetables in the kitchen.

It limits the use of a tool or object for a different purpose other than using it traditionally.

It originated in Gestalt psychology.

Thus the answer to the question is functional fixedness

Luda [366]
<span>The concept that ethnicities have the right to govern themselves is known as the r</span>ight of people to self-determination. This rule states that groups of people have right to choose their sovereignty, it means to decide that they want to form an independent state. The most important periods when this rule was applied were after the World War I, World War II and in the 1990s when many independent states emerged from former empires (the Great Britain or the Soviet Union) in Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia.
Nowadays this rule is on the one hand accepted but on the other still controversial when it comes to rights of ethnicities which strive for independence (ex. Scotland from the UK, Catalonia from Spain or Palestina from Israel).
