Answer:

e. It encourages intergroup understanding and cooperation.

Explanation:

Ethnocentrism refers to an attitude in which a particular culture believes that its own values and traditions are superior to those of other cultures. This can lead to contempt, misundertanding and even hate of outsiders. However, one of its positive effects is that it can create greater understanding, identification and cooperation among members of the same cultural group.

What are different Perspectives on Water Consumption

Answer:

10 Perspectives on the Future of Water

By Tilde Herrera

June 8, 2011

Water today is cheap, poorly managed and becoming increasingly scarce, and what is already a complex issue is only going to get more complicated as the global population continues to swell and the world's aging infrastructure gets older.

Similar to the challenges facing us with climate change, action on water scarcity is torturously slow. But unlike climate change, water shortages are a near-term life-or-death situation. The good news is that the battle isn't going unfought.

On Tuesday, Dow Chemical Co. brought together 60 of the world's leading water experts for a free, fast-moving virtual conference that explored the past, present and future of the global water challenge as part of its The Future We Create initiative. Sixty representatives from industry, academia, nonprofits and other thought leaders each offered back-to-back one-minute messages about water as it relates to people and businesses.

"The key to solving our biggest challenges lies at the intersection of science, collaboration and human ingenuity," Mary Jo Piper, Dow Chemical's public affairs manager, said in an email. "Collaboration is critical -- it requires human interactions and productive conversations based on mutual respect. That's why Dow created The Future We Create conference series -- to provide a meeting ground for leading-edge thinkers and curious minds to learn, share and act for a better future for us all."

We'd be remiss if we didn't ask the question: Is Dow the right company to talk about the future of water? The company has had its own water-related issues, including a dioxin clean-up near its headquarters and lawsuits alleging water contamination. While the company wouldn't comment on pending litigation, it did note that technology from its Water and Processing Solutions unit is being used to produce 22 million cubic meters of water daily around the world. It has also managed to reduce water consumption at its biggest production site by a billion gallons a year, which is fairly impressive by any measure.           

In any case, the virtual conference included a wealth of interesting information. Below are some memorable quotes that caught my attention from the program, which is still available online:



• "Water is cheap right now, relatively speaking; it's not going to stay that way. It's not plentiful; it is not

True or false?1. Being talked into volunteering in a homeless shelter is an example of negative peer pressure. 2. A person who f
pogonyaev

1. That statement is false

Negative peer pressure is a form of peer pressure to do something that would have negative effect to your life.  Since being talked into volunteering into people in need would bring positive effect to your life, this whole situation would be considered as a positive peer pressure.

2. That statement is false

Flattering other people because we want something from them is considered as a manipulation, not a harassment.

To be considered as a harassment, that people need to create a certain level of discomfort or intimidation due to offensive action or language. If the person is genuinely flattered, we can't consider it as a harassment.

3. That statement is false

The best course of action to deal with high-pressure situation is to use our Refusal skills.

Refusal skills refers to our ability to disengage/avoid being involved in necessarily risky behavior. This skill is very important in high-pressure situation.

Aggressive skills tend to be more appropriate to be used in less-risky situations.

4. That statement is true

Assertive people operates on their own standard of principles and they are unwilling to compromise those principles under any circumstances.

They are willing to stand their ground to anyone who challenge their principles even if it can create some sort of damage to their personal relationship. Because of these characteristics, most people see assertiveness as a desired trait for a leader.

5. That statement is true

Through dating , we will have more time to observe our partner's behavior due to the amount of time that we spend together. IN the long run, this will help us feel more comfortable with that other person and we will start to understand the general principle/moral values that our partner held.

6. That statement is true

Both decisions would have their own advantage disadvantage.

Begin dating would help them learn about how to develop close/intimate relationship with other people, but it would take a lot of their time.

Remain abstinent would help them focus on their academics, but it would damage their social status and make it harder for them to connect with others when the do need one.

7. That statement is true

What make a certain action or behavior 'risky'  is the fact that it would trap us in uncertain situations that can damage/destroy our life at any moment.

By planning ahead, we can identify each risks and think about positive and negative value that we can get before hand. This would eliminate the 'uncertainty' and help us avoid the behaviors that had high probability of damaging our life.
