Acting can be a highly stressful occupation, often with an unsteady income, fraught with uncertainties, and beset by demands for sacrifice from every direction and yet, can lead to incredibly satisfying and exhilarating experience by being artistically fulfilled. True False

That statement is true.

Explanation:

Unlike people who work in offices, actors/actress cannot be really sure when they will get their next project. (Except you are at the top of the pack). This make their income stream become uncertain.

Before they get their project, they have to constantly do auditions and hope that the producer want them in the project, Constantly face rejection from these auditions tend to be really stressful for the actors/actress. But, if they do, they tend to get a lot of perks that normal employees do not. Such as fame, public appreciation, fulfilling passion ,etc.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
