In the 1920s, the radio industry wanted to get advertisers to increase their station ratings and by extension, their profits. They wanted to appeal to the house hold audiences, so contacted businesses selling house hold items about sponsorship. One of the first businesses to sponsor the radio dramas was a soap powder producing company, Procter and Gamble, who sponsored and produced several radio dramas which were nicknamed 'Soap Operas'. They were so successful that radio dramas in general became known as Soap operas as well.

DedPeter [7]

I believe the answer is: Wisdom

Wisdom influences our ability to use the knowledge that we have in order to make a good judgment.

As we got older, our brain's function will deteriorate. But, older people tend to accumulate more experience compared to the younger ones.  Those experiences will provide older people with knowledge that might not be known by younger people. They could use it as a core strength to make better judgments than younger people.

How did the United States or Soviet Union affect Vietnam economic system after the Vietnam war?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Sorry, it's a bit long.

Explanation:

The Vietnam War was a military campaign launched by North Vietnam against South Vietnam. The Vietnamese civil war began in 1959. The United States supported the South, while China and Russia supported the North. In 1965, the United States officially entered the war in response to North Vietnam's attack on a U.S. military ship. U.S involvement ended in 1973. The war ended in 1975.

The war killed 58,220 American soldiers and wounded 153,303 more.1   Another 1,643 were missing in action. North Vietnam lost 1.1 million soldiers while 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers died. Both sides lost more than 2 million civilians.2  

Vietnam was the most heavily bombed country in history. More than 6.1 million tons of bombs were dropped, compared to 2.1 million tons in World War II.3   U.S. planes dumped 20 million gallons of herbicides to defoliate Viet Cong hiding places. It decimated 5 million acres of forest and 500,000 acres of farmland. The Vietnam War cost $168 billion or $1 trillion in today's dollars.19   That included $111 billion in military operations and $28.5 billion in aid to South Vietnam.  

Compensation benefits for Vietnam veterans and families still cost $22 billion a year.20   Surviving spouses qualify for lifetime benefits if the veteran died from war wounds. Veterans' children receive benefits until age 18. If the children are disabled, they receive lifetime benefits. Since 1970, the post-war benefits for veterans and families have cost $270 billion.

Hope this helps, have a great day/night :)
