Answer:
Religion declines with economic development. In a previous post that rattled around the Internet, I presented a scholarly explanation for this pattern: people who feel secure in this world have less interest in another one.
The basic idea is that wealth allows people to feel more secure in the sense that they are confident of having their basic needs met and expect to lead a long healthy life. In such environments, there is less of a market for religion, the primary function of which is to help people cope with stress and uncertainty.
Some readers of the previous post pointed out that the U.S. is something of an anomaly because this is a wealthy country in which religion prospers. Perhaps taking the view that one swallow makes a summer, the commentators concluded that the survival of religion here invalidates the security hypothesis. I do not agree.
Explanation:
The first point to make is that the connection between affluence and the decline of religious belief is as well-established as any such finding in the social sciences. In research of this kind, the preferred analysis strategy is some sort of line-fitting exercise. No researcher ever expects every case to fit exactly on the line, and if they did, something would be seriously wrong.

Since the mid 20th century there has been a series of treaties and multilateral agreements between European countries which have led to the European Union as we know it today.
It all started as a commercial agreement to remove trade barriers for specific goods, and in 1951 the European Coal and Steel Community was created. The next step was the constitution of the European Economic Comunity (EEC) for free trade and the EURATOM Treaty to reach an agreement about nuclear energy. So far, the agreements only work towards economic integration.
But in was in 1992, in the Maastricht Treaty or Treaty of the European Union where the monetary union was designed, and also the fundamentals of the political integration of this club of countries, such as the citizenship and the common foreign and internal affairs policy. The Parliament started to have decision power.
In 1997, the treaty of Amsterdam reformed the institutions for the arrival of new countries, and the same did the Treaty of Nice whose purpouse was to enable proper functioning with 25 member states.
The last agreement was the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009, with the objective of making the Union more democratic, giving more power to the supranational institutions and deciding which issues were left to each countries goverment and which others should be decided by the UE institutions. Nowadays the UE is formed by 28 states.
Answer: uninformed audience and hostile audience
Explanation:
Uninformed audience
Ate those people who don't have much information on your topic so it is your job to ensure that you capture their interest right from the beginning so that they can start to see what you are coming with and probably pay attention to it.
You need to convince them from the beginning so that they can be with you all the way if possible.
In advance you need to find out what information they already have so that you don't end up bogging them.
Hostile audience

These are the ones who will keep making negative remarks as you speak.
They believe they know better on the topic.
<span>Jeromy is using a defense mechanism known as "projection". This means that one person accuses somebody else of something they themselves are guilty of. In this case, it serves Jeromy by deflecting the guilt of his own actions to somebody else so his negative behavior is not brought to attention. By doing this, he doesn't have to acknowledge his cheating and he feels less guilty about it.</span>
