Answer:
Cognitive dissonance
Explanation:
In psychology, the term cognitive dissonance refers to the mental discomfort experienced by a person who holds contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values.
This discomfort is triggered by a situation in which a person's belief is contradicted by new evidence perceived by the person so the person will try to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.
In this example, Sonya thought sororities were filled with snobs, however during her first week in campus she was approached by a sorority member who invited her to a social function.
We can see that <u>Sonya's beliefs about sororities were contradicted by the new evidence she perceived when she attended the social function</u>, this made her feel cognitive dissonance and <u>her way to resolve the contradiction was to conclude that sororities do a lot of good things for the community.</u>
Thus, Sonya's change in attitude to match her behavior relates to cognitive dissonance.
Answer:
Not a single person.
Explanation:
In the essay "I, Pencil" by Leonard E. Read, the author says that though about one and one-half billion pencils are produced in US alone each year, he says that not a single person in the whole earth knows how to actually make a pencil.
The author says that the economy of the country could never be systematically planned when not even a single person possesses the skills to even make a pencil. The writer uses the word 'pencil' to represent the most simplest tool yet how no one actually has the skills to make one in the country.
Answer:
Option C, public babysitting, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The term latent function is used to refer to the functions that are unrecognized and unintended. A behaviour's latent function is not recognized, stated and intended by those who are involved in the process. If we look at the latent function of education, we will find that it is a process of learning in which a student and a master are involved. In the given question option C, public babysitting will be right because it controls entry and timing entrance into work-force.
