1. The United States appears at times to have a totally schizophrenic attitude toward protectionism. The United States was the c

ountry that proposed the establishment of the World Trade Organization as early as the late 1940s, and was also the only industrialized country that refused to ratify this at that time. The United States has consistently argued on the side of multinational free trade in GATT Rounds, and yet maintains many protectionist laws such as those which reserve oil shipments from Alaska to U.S. flag carriers. How can you explain this apparent lack of national consistency on this issue?

This reflects the fact that international trade typically has many winners and relatively fewer, but politically powerful losers. Short of guaranteed (constitutional?) non-conditional compensatory mechanisms, the basic conflict between these two groups will always be there.

Answer:

Judy's next step is to feel stressed if her request for time off on Wednesday and Thursday is not met.

Explanation:

The transactional stress theory, also called the cognitive model, underlines the importance of mental judgment processes for stress: according to this theory, stress reactions result from the relationship between demand and available means. This relationship is, however, mediated by cognitive processes (value judgments and others). Thus, not only external factors can act as stressors, but also internal factors such as values, goals, etc. The model provides for two judgment processes:

  • Primary appraisal: where the individual finds himself in a situation of his displeasure (in the case of the above question, Judy cannot meet her boyfriend because of the mismatch of her work.) And looks for ways to adapt the situation so that get more comfortable (In the case above, Judy tries to make her break the same days as her boyfriend's break).
  • Secondary appraisal: At this point, the individual evaluates whether his attempt to adapt has had positive or negative results. If the results are positive the individual does not feel stress, if the results are negative, the individual becomes stressed and may experience feelings of anger, sadness, fear, among others.

For this reason, we can conclude that if Judy's request to have Wednesday and Thursday as her days off so she can meet her boyfriend is not granted; she will be stressed.
