Answer:

Cognitive Dissonance

Explanation:

The term Cognitive Dissonance was first introduced by Leon Festinger and it refers to what happens when a person has two or more contradictory beliefs or ideas and experiences psychological stress because of that. In other words, <u>when two ideas are opposite to each other, the person will experience stress </u>and will try to reduce this difference to reduce their discomfort. This usually happens when new evidence contradicts the person previous belief and it creates stress (cognitive dissonance).

In this example, Dante is aware that drinking alcohol is a costly habit that is bad for his health but he continues to do so anyway. He also thinks he is smart and makes good choices in life. Dan is <u>experiencing a contradiction between his thoughts (I make good choices in life) and his behavior (Drinking is bad for his health)</u> and this contradiction is making him experience psychological stress. This is known as Cognitive Dissonance

Actors must learn to have _______ eye contact with other actors onscreen, despite it not being natural to do so in everyday life
vovikov84 [41]

Actors must learn to have intense consistent eye contact with other actors onscreen, despite it not being natural to do so in everyday life.

Strong eye contact that shows attractiveness is called gaze. When someone looks at you, they make eye contact longer than usual. This usually means they are looking at you for a few seconds. They want you to be aware of what they are looking for!

When you make eye contact with someone, you notice that they are looking at each other because they are looking at you at the same time. When avoiding eye contact with someone, you may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, so do not intentionally look directly at them.

"Deep eye contact or retention of gaze for at least 4 seconds may indicate feelings of affection." Bonus points even if they smile in front of you.

Is it possible to eradicate poverty from the world? Give reasons to support your answer
Citrus2011 [14]

I do not want to look pessimist, but I sincerely don't think that's possible. Poverty is caused by many different factors, that depend on things the society can't change, at least not the way we tried to do it.

Poverty depends greatly on the political systems we have nowadays, because if political systems where "correct" maybe everybody would have a home and an income, but millionaires wouldn't be millionaires.

We should also not blame only politicians, because we as a society also affect how poverty works. I will not give my opinion on this though, because it depends greatly on how one thinks. Many think society hasn't done anything wrong, and others think different factors within society are to be blamed. It's a very controversial area.



Hope it helped,
