You find enough of the drug to cure your friend and perhaps two additional people – depending on how your friend responds to the first dose. Method Chosen to Reverse Self-gratification and Why Descriptive or Injunctive Norm and Why

Answer 1

In our life, we also face similar situations when we have to decide a method to reverse the self-gratification. Here, in this case, it's very general phenomena or conditions a lot of car buyers have to go through.

The person has a lot of possession and want a large car which can hold all the possession and he has only the given amount of money that he/she cannot switch to something more environment friendly, The person does not have extra money as well as this is the perfect car for all his possessions s as well as himself. such conditions arise which may lead the person to only thnk about himself and become selfish and buy such cars.

A sustainable case would be if the everyone refuses to use such cars and this may lead the car company to change their system and work on something which is more environment-friendly as well as can lead to sustainable development. ut, this is generally not the case.

People here become selfish and they only think about the short-term goals of having a large car instead of having a fresh and clean environment in which they can live a healthy life. Therefore these are the cases of reverse -gratification.
