Dr. mendez was giving an invited address on the topic of dating among college students. she stated that people begin with a large pool of potential mates and gradually eliminate those who do not fit our specifications. she was clearly describing of mate selection

The answer is filter theory.

Explanation:

In sociology, filter theory explains that society limits possible mates for individuals, either it's based on personal expectations or compliance to social norms.

Some studies show that this selection is based mostly in homogamy, which means we tend to be attracted to people with whom we share similar characteristics.

the reason the welfare system causes so much of a burden on its recipients is because the welfare system does not give its recipients any real tools to actually get out of poverty. the welfare system has embedded poverty deeper into society and has made it harder and harder for people to escape poverty.

in other words, it stoped the poor, and now its making it worse.
