The way we strive to find our place in the world is known as ______.&#10;A)niche seeking&#10;B)birthright&#10;C)self-concept&#10;D)person-in-context

Accepted Answer

Niche seeking refers to the process of discovering one's own unique place in the world and finding fulfilling roles and activities that match one's strengths and interests. Birthright refers to a position or privilege that is inherited or granted by birth, which is not necessarily related to the process of finding one's place in the world. Self-concept refers to the collection of beliefs and attitudes that a person holds about themselves, which is related to but distinct from the process of niche seeking. Person-in-context refers to the idea that individuals should be understood in the context of their unique personal and environmental factors, but again is not the same as niche seeking.
