A pilot attempts a difficult shot mainly to prove skill to onlookers, thinking 'I can do it.' This reflects which attitude and antidote?
- A.Macho; the antidote is that taking unnecessary chances is foolish, not impressive
- B.Resignation; the antidote is that the pilot can make a difference
- C.Impulsivity; the antidote is to think first
Correct answer
A. Macho; the antidote is that taking unnecessary chances is foolish, not impressive
Why
The macho attitude uses flying to prove something to oneself or an audience. Its antidote reframes the risky attempt as foolish rather than skilled, removing the payoff for showing off.
