Answer:

The correct answer is - <em>b) attitude.</em>

Explanation:

Being a form of a psychological construct, attitude is a blend of emotional and intellectual characteristics that result in a certain state of mind of an individual towards an attitude object (such as, other people, places, events etc).

<u>Attitude is formed by previous experiences and leads towards certain thoughts, ideas and ultimately actions towards these objects.</u>

For example, because an individual’s parent disapproved of Oscar Academy Awards and argued that it is a waste of money (experience), this individual now states a similar opinion (thought) when his friends discuss Oscar nominees and switches to a different channel (action) when news about Oscar is on TV.

U.S. antitrust laws: a. do not apply to companies based in other countries that are doing business in the United States. b. do n
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is c.

Explanation:

Monopolies are considered negative in a free market economy because, through their economic dominance, they distort markets and stifle competition. In order to combat the rise of monopolies, the United States has a series of antitrust laws, which are meant to enhance competition and discourage and penalize monopolistic business practices.

The 1890 Sherman Act, the 1914 Clayton Act and the 1914 Federal Trade Commission Act represent the three main antitrust laws that regulate business practices for national and foreign enterprises that conduct trade in or with the United States. However, the 1982 Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act regulates the international scope of these antitrust laws. Generally speaking, it states that they can't be enforced outside the US, unless the monopolistic practices affect exports from and imports into the US. According to this interpretation, <u>foreign companies that do business in the US can be subject to antitrust laws if their business practices are considered monopolistic under them</u>.
