<span>A. Technological advancement is a side effect of military efforts to win wars. </span>

 

<span>In the passage “How the Internet and Other Technologies Came About,” readers are presented with the rationale for the development of the internet, virtual reality, and GPS.  A type of communications web (or net) was developed, broken down into pieces across the nation, so communication could remain intact should a nuclear war destroy one component (or geographic location).  Flight simulators were developed in order to help train pilots to fly in conditions brought about by nuclear war.  Guidance satellites were developed in order to guide missiles to targets.  All of these advancements were a side effect of military efforts to win wars—the communications web became the internet, flight simulators became virtual reality, and guidance satellites developed into GPS.</span>

Write an argumentative essay for or against using public money to maintain national landmarks, such as the gateway Arch in St. L
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

A conclusion that is in favour:

"Using public money to maintain national landmarks is a good policy in the sense that a national landmark is a public good: no one can be excluded from enjoying the view of a national landmark like the Arch in St. Louis for example.

Because they are public goods, national landmarks are not likely to be profitable or provided by the private sector in a free market, and for this reason, government intervention in the form of public money becomes necessary".

How do the children respond to the mother's secret?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: This study examined children’s secret-keeping for a parent and its relationship to trust, theory of mind, secrecy endorsement, and executive functioning (EF). Children (N = 107) between 4 and 12 years of age participated in a procedure wherein parents broke a toy and asked children to promise secrecy. Responses to open-ended and direct questions were examined. Overall, secret-keeping increased with age and promising to keep the secret was related to fewer disclosures in open-ended questioning. Children who kept the secret in direct questioning exhibited greater trust and better parental ratings of EF than children who disclosed the secret. Findings highlight the importance of both social and cognitive factors in secret-keeping development.
