Answer:

Downward comparison.

Explanation:

The Theory of Social Comparison, enunciated by Festinger in 1954, explains how we compare our capacities and opinions with those people we perceive to be most similar to us, who identify our values, and with those closest to us in our social circles, by proximity. People might prefer different types or direction of comparison depending on their motivation.Downward comparison is when the person looks at people they consider to be in a worse state in some important aspect, they look at "others" who perceive different, generating positive relief results in the event that the "other" is perceived in a worse situation (descending).

Explain two things that can lead to a husband having a problem with his wife.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Communication and Trust Issues

Explanation:

<em>*If this a specific question with a specific answer then I have no clue.*</em>

Two of the many things that can lead to problems in a marriage is lack of communication and trust issues. If there isn't clear transparency of communication that can lead to misunderstanding and/or even divorce.  <u>Communication is key to most relationships</u> and lack of communication can also affect other aspects of one's life. If a husband isn't communicating to his wife of what he needs or vice versa, then that could make for some pretty  difficult arguments down the road. Trust issues can also affect a relationship very deeply. Trust issues are one of the things that can drive people apart. A lack of trust in a relationship and lead to resentment and frustration which can put a strain on one's mental state and marriage.

Name 3 ways middle east countries compensate for not having water
Dmitrij [34]

A water scarcity report issued recently as a collaboration of several U.S. intelligence agencies predicts that the likelihood of conflict over water will increase in the coming decades. The report argues that the Middle East, as perhaps the most water impoverished region of the world, will be particularly susceptible to so-called “water wars.”

The strain on the global water supply is the result of a number of factors. First, most of the Earth’s water is simply unavailable for consumption, sanitation, or agricultural purposes because 97% of it is salt water. Of the remaining 3%, only 1% is available for direct human use. Moreover, in some areas of the world, the available freshwater supply is being depleted faster than it is being replenished. Saudi Arabia, for example, gets 70% of its water from 21 aquifers where water is being extracted faster than nature can restore the supply. In the case of Yemen, the state’s current water demand exceeds its renewable water resources by 900 million cubic meters per year.

As the world’s population continues to grow, the demand for water will increase correspondingly. The high population growth rates, hovering around 2% in the region compared to the world average of 1.1%, and paucity of arable land in the Middle East will make water shortages in the region particularly acute.  The United Nations predicts that by 2025, 30 countries will be water scarce, out of which 18 will be in the Middle East and North Africa
