Giving gifts

Explanation:

A potlatch is a gift-giving feast exercised by the autochthonous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast of Canada and the United States. It is their chief economic system.

"Don’t let someone else define the boundaries of your civic imagination." Explain and react to this statement.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Through the diverse cases represented in this collection, we model the different functions that the civic imagination performs. For the moment, we define civic imagination as the capacity to imagine alternatives to current cultural, social, political, or economic conditions; one cannot change the world without imagining what a better world might look like.

Beyond that, the civic imagination requires and is realized through the ability to imagine the process of change, to see one’s self as a civic agent capable of making change, to feel solidarity with others whose perspectives and experiences are different than one’s own, to join a larger collective with shared interests, and to bring imaginative dimensions to  real world spaces and places.

Research on the civic imagination explores the political consequences of cultural representations and the cultural roots of political participation. This definition consolidates ideas from various accounts of the public imagination, the political imagination, the radical imagination, the pragmatic imagination, creative insurgency or public fantasy.

In some cases, the civic imagination is grounded in beliefs about how the system actually works, but we have a more expansive understanding stressing the capacity to imagine alternatives, even if those alternatives tap the fantastic. Too often, focusing on contemporary problems makes it impossible to see beyond immediate constraints.

This tunnel vision perpetuates the status quo, and innovative voices —especially those from the margins — are shot down before they can be heard.

Fantom [35]
The correct answer would be the second option. The correct plan for his experiment would be that the temperature, the type of limestone, and the type of acid are controls. The amount of acid and the amount of damage to the limestone are variables. To determine the degree of damage of the acid it would be best that the amount of acid is the manipulated variable while everything else are assumed constant.
