<h2>To appeal to the dissatisfied, multi-ethnic population of the Soviet Union.</h2>

A comment from the <em>History Channel</em> explains the situation in the USSR when Gorbachev was in power.  "In 1985, even many of the most conservative hardliners realized that much needed to change. The Soviet economy was faltering and dissidents and internal and external critics were calling for an end to political repression and government secrecy."  As far as the aim of Gorbachev's reforms, "The plan was for the Soviet Union to become more transparent, and in turn for the leadership of the nation and the Communist Party to be improved," according to <em>YourDictionary</em>.

In March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev proposed policies of <em>perestroika </em>(restructuring) and <em>glasnost</em> (openness) in the Soviet Union.  These seemed like policies that leaned in the direction of Western ways of economics and politics.  <em>Perestroika </em>meant allowing some measure of private enterprise in the Soviet Union.  <em>Glasnost </em>meant allowing a bit of freedom in regard to speech and publication.   Gorbachev was not trying to get rid of the Soviet communist system.  He actually was trying to prop it up and preserve it, because it was starting to have many problems sustaining itself, and there was too much dissatisfaction and dissent occurring among the country's people.  But in the end, opening things up a bit with <em>perestroika </em>and <em>glasnost</em> policies pushed the USSR further in the direction of shedding the communist model under which it had lived for so long, and would begin to spell the end of the USSR.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The conflict perspective focuses on the idea that racial prejudice and discrimination are perpetuated through economic exploitation.

<h3>What is Conflict Perspective?</h3>
  • A social science viewpoint that contrasts with structural functionalism and ideological conservatism by highlighting the social, political, or material inequalities of a social group, criticizing the larger socio-political system, or in some other way.
  • The Conflict paradigm contends that inequality stemming from social divisions between the dominant group and all other groups in society plagues every society.
  • When examining any aspect of society from this angle, it is important to consider the structures of money, power, and status as well as the manner in which they uphold the social, economic, political, and coercive dominance of one group at the expense of others.

Which perspective most clearly emphasizes that behavior is influenced by situational demands as well as by enduring inner person
LenKa [72]
The correct answer is the social-cognitive perspective.

According to the social-cognitive perspective, human behavior and actions are not only influenced by personal traits and enduring inner characteristics, but also by the situations people find themselves in. For instance, a person who is normally loud, outspoken and humorous will not behave in this manner if he or she is in a serious situation such as a job interview, an important work meeting or at a funeral.
