specific examples illustrating the phenomenon of learned helplessness:
1) At work: An employee whose proposals are constantly rejected stops trying to come up with new ideas, even if there is a chance for change.
2) At school: A student who consistently fails in a particular subject avoids trying to pass it later, even though there are alternative teaching methods.
3) In society: Residents of areas affected by long-term pollution may stop participating in environmental initiatives, believing that their efforts will not change anything.
