Answer:

Individual behavior is, to be blunt, the behavior of an individual. It’s categorized by a singular person and their reactions/responses. It may be summed up or kept as a single value. A group reaction is how specific types of people respond to something, such as a particular faction or generation.

Example (I made this up): “Drake asked 50 kids who their favorite celebrity was. 15 of those kids were on the football team. 13 kids said that they like Jerry Rice, 17 said Taylor Swift 6 said Eminem, and 14 said Ed Sheehan. What can we assume from Drake’s poll?”

We can assume that the 13 kids who like Jerry Rice are on the football team, as he’s a football player and a large number of the poll was the football team.

That was an example of group behavior- they tend to like the same things. Individual behavior would be: “How many kids prefer PB&J over a regular sandwich?”. Those behaviors/resonses are added up for a statistic, making a group behavior, such as “Most kids prefer PB&J“.

Hope this helped :)

Select true or false: a military professional must utilize any means necessary to contribute to the common good.

velikii [3]

The answer to this statement is false. It is because yes, it is the job of the military professional to do necessary things to contribute to common good or to promote common good. But using any means necessary is not appropriate to handle this situation even if it is for the good cause. It is best to follow measures and standards because using any means necessary is like being able to do anything you want even if it is bad just to produce something good.

Damage to which site would affect projections using the neurotransmitter norepinephrine?

lana [24]

Answer:

Damage to the A. Locus coeruleus would affect projections using the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.

Explanation:

The locus coeruleus is a part of the brain which is primarily composed of noradrenergic cells. Its main functions are related to an individual's physical responses to fear and stress.

It is the main source of norepinephrine, since it is in charge of the responses to stress and fear such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, activation of glucose release so the individual has more energy and direction of more blood to go where needed, decreasing it in places where it is not necessary for the moment, such as the digestive system.

Damage to it would affect this neurotransmitter's projections.
