According to Gladwell, in his book <em>Outliers: The story of success,</em> rice agriculture is considered to be tedious, difficult work. It is also meant to be skill-driven. Because of this, Asian people have a cultural advantage due to their appreciation of hard work, and of the time necessary to improve oneself. He argues that this upbringing is one of the factors why Asian children often excel at school.

In the second part of his argument, Gladwell discusses the KIPP, or “Knowledge is Power Program” which is aimed at children from poor backgrounds. The program argues that shortening summer vacation and increasing the time children spend in school will prevent them from “unlearning’’ the knowledge they had acquired during the past year and help them improve their performance at school. He argues that this program brings some of the logic of self-improvement behind rice paddy farming to places like the South Bronx, which would most likely benefit from the program.

The one-way plow advantages and the disadvantages
Vadim26 [7]
<span>Producers must consider the advantage and disadvantages of a tillage system before changing systems.  The most important advantage of conservation tillage systems is significantly less soil erosion due to wind and water.  Other advantages include reduced fuel and labor requirements.  However, increased reliance may be placed on herbicides with some conservation tillage systems.  The herbicide labels do not change the recommended rates based on tillage system, but tillage may not be an option for weed control in some tillage systems.</span>

Which statement best compares events in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia during the Obama presidency
Ksju [112]

During the Presidenty of Barak H Obama, the countries in North Africa and Middle-East experienced what is now called the Arab Spring.



These were small-scale protests by people against the government. Most people stood up against what they believed what injustice by Dictators. These eventually turned into Pro-Democracy protests and in some extreme cases turned into a civil war.



The original protests started in Tunisa and resulted in the removal of a dictator. They spread across to Egypt where Husni Mubarak was jailed and Muslim Brotherhood took over. Eventually the army stepped in and Egypt again is a dictatorship.



In Libya, it led to a full scale civil war which led to the capture and death of Gaddafi.
