Answer:

a Self-fullfiling prophecy.

Explanation:

Self-fulfilling prophecies are psychological phenomena in which individuals predict an event, and due to their conscious or unconscious behavior, said event ends up happening.

For instance, Jim has a physics exam in two weeks. The exam is about thermodynamics, a topic that James dislikes because he doesn't understand it. After hearing the news that the exam was coming, he immediately claims that he was going to fail the exam. Out of resignation, he thinks: why bother studying, I'm not good at thermodynamics, and even though he may not realize it, he is setting himself up to fail. The day of the exam comes, and because he did not study one bit during the last two weeks, he loses the exam.

In this particular case, Marcus has a big wrestling match coming up, but he fears that he will lose. The week before the match, he claims that he is "really busy with other studies," and does not practice at all. Even though he may not realize he is doing this, he is setting himself up so that he will have an "excuse" in case he loses the match. Marcus is apparently engaging in a self-fullfilling prophecy.

complete question;

distinguish between culture and society then identify three factors that influence cultural change.

Answer:

The most common definition of culture is that it is a way of life. It is a way of life of a particular group of persons that is passed down from one generation to another generation.

we can also define the word society as group of persons that live together in an ordered community. The people in a society could share same beliefs as well as have common interests. A society is also a combination of different persons that are of different cultures.

The main difference between society and culture is that while the society comprises just of the people who share same beliefs and practices, culture is the beliefs and the practices of this people.

several factors are responsible for cultural changes in a society. three of these influences are:

  • <u>contact: </u> When two societies come in contact with each other, there is likely to be a change in culture of both societies. This is known as cultural diffusion (the spread of cultural belief from one society to another society).
  • Evolutionary changes in technology:  Any form of advancements or evolutions in technology could bring about changes in culture. Technological evolution in production technology or changes in means of transportation and communication could influence cultural changes.
  • Geological and ecological influences: These are factors that influences cultural changes. An example is rainfall, altitude, proximity to sea.

These factors are all capable of deciding the culture as well as the lifestyle of dwellers.
