The correct answer is: a personal fable.

Adolescents who develop a personal fable, engage in risky behaviors because they feel there won't be consequences from their actions. In other words, they think nothing bad could possibly happen to them.

It is a very common behavior, especially for teens around the ages of 11 and 13, because they tend to believe they are special or "unique" individuals. This egocentrism makes them falsely believe that they are indestructible.

In the early 1900s, native-born Americans, usually Protestants, did NOT consider Irish, Italian, or Jewish immigrants to be whit
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

<h2>C.The social construction of race </h2>

Explanation:

Race is a social construct, it is not biological. There are no genes common to all whites and blacks so race cannot be genetically verified and it were true then the classification of people based on race would have been constant across boundaries, but it is not so because a person who is categorised as black in US might be considered white in Latin american countries.

The Greeks, Poles, Italian and Hungarian migrants were not considered to be whites in 1800s and 1900s, they tried to overcome it by showing through behaviour that they were worthy of being called white. The people form Netherlands,Ireland,Scandinavian countries and Germany were considered to be white.  

The Americans were afraid that the foreigners would bring peculiar religious practices and substandard ways of living and religious practises to this country , that would bring down this civilisation.

Why is it important that your Organ systems work together give an example of them working together
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain function in a body. The human body has 11 different organ systems, some of which are the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems. For example, the cardiovascular system consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Not only organs that make up an organ system have to work together, but organ systems as well. Otherwise, our body wouldn't be able to work properly. For example, the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system cooperate to deliver oxygen to cells and expel the carbon dioxide, which is the product of the cells.
