Social Studies

Stels [109]1 year ago
4 0

A simple reason in for the increase of polls is its cheap availability and use of social media, both of these factors when interconnected can make it really easy for anyone with the right approach to create a poll. Those people who are in the policy making business also use the medium to get the latest of public opinions about certain issues which may help them create a relevant policy.

There is just one danger as I see it, that when it comes to politics the politicians focus more on getting votes by spreading and creating biased polls which help mold the public opinion to a certain extent.

Harman [31]

She is likely exhibiting ethnocentrism. This is being defined as a way of showing judgement towards to other cultures based on their own standards that they are accustomed of or in their own culture. The American likely acted that way after seeing crickets to be eaten by locals because it is not normal or a tradition for their culture to eat bugs or even cover them with chocolates as they eat it.

Gamiel and Aliyah go out to eat and Gamiel does not leave a tip for the waiter. If Aliyah explains his behavior by saying that h
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The answer is the attribution dispositional and situational

Explanation:

The attributions refer to the judgments that people make on behavior, and this depends on how people perceive the situation.

<em>The attributions are divided into two: </em>

  • Dispositional Attribution
  • Situational Attribution

It is known as dispositional attribution when we explain the behavior of people according to their personality characteristics, we make a judgment for the information that we know about them, obtaining an internal attribution about the behavior of the person in the situation.

For example in the case of Gamiel, he did not leave a tip for the waiter and Aliyah attributes this behavior based on the information he knows about Gamiel, who possibly only tips expensive places, Aliyah justifies the action through dispositional attribution.

The opposite of the internal attributions are the situational attributions, these justify the behavior of the people to external events that cannot be controlled but that cause an effect on the behavior of the person. For example, Gamiel and Aliyah had the experience of having a horrible service by the waiter, for which Gamiel does not leave a tip, Aliyah justifies this action to the lousy service received, here she is using situational attribution.

<em>I hope this information can help you.</em>
