Passive-aggressive behavior is characterized by a pattern of passive hostility and an avoidance of direct communication. [1] [2] Inaction where some action is socially customary is a typical passive-aggressive strategy (showing up late for functions, staying silent when a response is expected). [2]
For example, if physical and psychological punishment were to be dealt to children who express anger, they would be inclined to be passive–aggressive. Children who sugarcoat hostility may have difficulties being assertive, never developing better coping strategies or skills for self-expression.
For example, at a diner with friends someone saying, "cómetela entera" ('eat it all'), might be jokingly insinuating "you should perform fellatio", an agile mind would give a retaliatory double entendre answer like, "I don't like it, but you can eat mine if you like" (' A mí no me gusta, pero tú cómete la mía si se te antoja ').
“The world as it is now, it is good to have examples of people who led their lives through compassion and love,” Scorsese said. “Some are martyrs; some died for it. Some of the eight that ...
Passive diffusion across a cell membrane.. Passive transport is a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes. [1] [2] Instead of using cellular energy, like active transport, [3] passive transport relies on the second law of thermodynamics to drive the movement of substances across cell membranes.
A good example of this type of margin is found on the south-facing coast of west Africa. Sheared margins are highly complex and tend to be rather narrow. They also differ from rifted passive margins in structural style and thermal evolution during continental breakup.
“This is an example of ‘know thy neighbor’ and those neighbors were able to help prevent this child from being permanently taken,” Hallandale Beach Police Capt. Megan Jones told NBC 6.
Passive cooling covers all natural processes and techniques of heat dissipation and modulation without the use of energy. [1] Some authors consider that minor and simple mechanical systems (e.g. pumps and economizers) can be integrated in passive cooling techniques, as long they are used to enhance the effectiveness of the natural cooling process.
