Answer to Question 1

D
A spell is seen in these cultures and is characterized by the behaviors listed. Sudden collapsing with eyes open and inability to see but ability to hear and understand describes the state of falling out seen in members of some cultures living in the southern United States and in certain Caribbean groups. Seizure activity and coma preceded by extreme excitement or irrational behavior describes pibloktoq seen in some Arctic and sub-Arctic Eskimos; a state in which spirit possession interferes with daily activities describes zar seen in cultures of individuals originating from Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and Sudan.

Answer to Question 2

A
Planned change is the deliberate effort to make things different within a system. Unplanned or unexpected change often is not desired change. With both types of change, workplace dynamics is affected and change often is met with strong reactions.
