After living in an apartment for the first five years of their marriage, Mindy and Raul have saved enough money for a down payment on their first house. They are spending a lot of their time looking for a suitable house. In the context of Hans Selye's research, Mindy and Raul are most likely experiencing: a. an avoidance–avoidance conflict.
b. eustress.
c. cognitive dissonance.
d. self-deception.

The correct answer is B. Eustress.

Explanation:

Eustress is a benign stress that is essential for a person’s mental growth, development, and mastery of a variety of skills. One finds eustress positive and enjoyable and does not consider it threatening or evil. Many important inventions are made in an atmosphere toned by eustress. For example, gym training causes eustress if it does not cause mental or physical overload, in which case it would be negative distress.

Eustress does not come to man himself, but usually has to be actively sought. A person does not usually learn from childhood to strive for a mental and physical environment that would naturally open the door to good stress and consideration. However, the inner world of man is such that when eustress is found, the brain chemistry of man is rewarded with effort, and man possibly learns this automatic pattern of behavior.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
