Answer:

The answer is: individual discrimination.

Explanation:

Individual discrimination occurs between two people, one person discriminating another. In this case, Mary refuses to rent an apartment to Millie due to her age, she is discriminating her and her behavior can be defined as ageist. However, her decision is not based in ageist laws or regulations, which is why it is not institutional discrimination, it is only her decision as an individual.

Individual dscrimination is different from institutional discrimination, however, they both have the intention to hurt the other person and they are both based upon prejudice and stereotypes, which is why individual discrimination should not be taken lightly as it also has the power to affect a person's life.

A patient who has suffered a small, localized injury to the brain and who, as a result, never feels hungry and must be forced to
Elena-2011 [213]

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

Hunger is regulated by the hypothalamus, which is a region located in the brain. Due to this, people with injuries in this zone might experience issues regulating their appetites such as lack of satisfaction after eating or lack of impulse to eat (hunger). Thus, if a patient does not feel hungry and experienced a brain injury, this is likely related to the hypothalamus. On the other hand, the thalamus, which is a different zone in the brain located above the hypothalamus regulates sensory impulses and movements but it is not related to appetite or hunger.

Dominik [7]
The correct answer is the fundamental attribution error.

The fundamental attribution error (FAE) refers to the phenomenon where people overestimate internal influences or factors that result in others' behavior, while underestimating external factors or influences that are outside a person's control when explaining their behavior. An instance of FAE is when a classmate fails an exam and you believe that it is because of factors internal to him or her (such as laziness, lack of ability and low intelligence) rather than external factors outside his or her control (family crises, illness, etc.).

nexus9112 [7]
The New Jersey plan proposed this.

They proposed this, because they wanted smaller states to have equal powers in the government with the larger states. The other plan proposed was the Virginia plan. They wanted the states to have votes proportional to the population. However, the small states didn't like this because they would have less power in the government.

Eventually, they decided on a compromise, with the Senate following the New Jersey plan of each state getting equal representation, and the House of Representatives following the Virginia plan of votes proportional to the population.

labwork [276]

Answer: Cultural Realism

Explanation: Cultural Realism could be explained as a concept which aims to define and understand a person's action based on the person's cultural affiliation. Cultural Realism is an ideological concept which aims to define and understand an individual's action, belief, attitude based on that person's culture rather than being judged on the basis other cultural affiliation.

In the context above, the sociologist negates the idea of withholding food and water from children who misbehave based on her cultural perspective. However, from the principle of cultural Realism, the idea must be judged based on the culture of the individual and not from the sociologist's cultural perspective.
