Answer:
groupthink
Explanation:
Groupthink: The groupthink theory was originally proposed by the works of Irving Janis in 1972.
The term groupthink is considered as a psychological phenomenon that arises in a specific group consisting various people that desires or wants conformity or harmony in that particular group and often results in a dysfunctional or an irrational decision-making process or outcome.
Groupthink occurs due to the faulty or wrong decision made by the members of a group due to the need of being the group intact.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not include the options for this question. However, we can answer the following.
The group that was part of the rising middle class of the Sung period was Shopkeepers.
The gentry and the peasants were the two big divisions of the social classes during the Song period in ancient China.
The Emperor of China was at the very top of the pyramid. He was the most powerful man in the empire and the absolute ruler of the lands.
In the second place were the families who owned big portions of land or better known as the gentry. Then, the peasants. They were the ones that farmed the agriculture fields and worked for the landowners.
The merchants were at the bottom of the pyramid. They were able to earn some good money in trade transactions but an old belief system of the time said that the merchants took advantage of other people's work and made a profit selling the products.
However, these merchants or shopkeepers flourished during the Song period.
Answer:
It is an example of scheduled obsolescence.
Explanation:
The new line of affordable cars does appeal to lower-income groups, however, they are not a safe long term investment.
In the industry it became common to sell low price products (that appeals to the masses) that also have low durability, thus forcing the buyer to purchase a newer model in a short amount of time.
This process takes advantage of the fact that the low-income part of the population doesn't have the means to make a long term investment on a higher quality product.
This process is called scheduled obsolescence, for its intentionally lack of durability.
Answer: Canada’s fertility rates have not met the replacement rate of 2.1 needed for stable population growth since 1971. In addition, the life expectancy for Canadians has also increased by more than nine years. In short, Canadians are living longer and having fewer children and less frequently. Without a young population to replace retiring workers, there will be fewer working-age Canadians contributing to the workforce and economy. This imbalance puts pressure on the standards of living, slows economic growth, and creates numerous fiscal challenges. Immigration brings in young families and working-age newcomers. These newcomers fill workplace shortages and contribute positively to the economy. Unfortunately, immigration alone is not the solution to Canada’s ageing and retiring population.
Explanation:
To your first question--James Madison is widely known as the architect of the US Constitution (Although in reality it was the result of team work by 56 delegates).
To your second question--The six key principles outlined in the US Constitution are:
1. Popular Sovereignty (i.e. democracy or rule by the people)
2. Limited Government (i.e. again, democracy or the government can only do what the people instructs it to do)
3. Separation of Powers (there are three branches of power: legislative, executive, and judicial AND they are separate from each other)
Which brings me to...
4. Checks and Balances (each branch "checks and balances" the other two branches' power. For ex: the US President can veto congressional bills, Congress can ratifies judicial nominees, and the Supreme Court decides on the constitutionality of congressional bills).
5. Judicial Reviews (the judicial branch reviews governmental actions)
6. Federalism (there is a federal and a state government. These are separate from each other)
