Answer:

5 Causes of The Great Depression

It was not just one factor, but  instead a combination of domestic and worldwide conditions that led to the Great Depression. As such, there is no agreed upon list of all its causes.

The effects of the Great Depression were huge across the world. Not only did it lead to the New Deal in America but  more significantly, it was a direct cause of the rise of extremism in Germany leading to World War II.

1. Stock Market Crash of 1929 - Many believe erroneously that the stock market crash that occurred on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 is one and the same with the Great Depression. In fact, it was one of the major causes that  led to the Great Depression. Two months after the original crash in October, stockholders had lost more than $40  billion dollars. Even though the stock market began to regain some of its losses, by the end of 1930, it just was not  enough and America truly entered what is called the Great Depression.

2. Bank Failures - Throughout the 1930s over 9,000 banks failed. Bank deposits were uninsured and thus as banks  failed people simply lost their savings. Surviving banks, unsure of the economic situation and concerned for their own  survival, stopped being as willing to create new loans. This exacerbated the situation leading to less and less  expenditures.

3. Reduction in Purchasing Across the Board - With the stock market crash and the fears of further economic woes,  individuals from all classes stopped purchasing items. This then led to a reduction in the number of items produced  and thus a reduction in the workforce. As people lost their jobs, they were unable to keep up with paying for items  they had bought through installment plans and their items were repossessed. More and more inventory began to  accumulate. The unemployment rate rose above 25% which meant, of course, even less spending to help alleviate the economic situation.

4. American Economic Policy with Europe - As businesses began failing, the government created the Smoot-Hawley  Tariff in 1930 to help protect American companies. This charged a high tax for imports thereby leading to less trade  between America and foreign countries along with some economic retaliation.

5. Drought Conditions - While not a direct cause of the Great Depression, the drought that occurred in the  Mississippi Valley in 1930 was of such proportions that many could not even pay their taxes or other debts and had to  sell their farms for no profit to themselves. The area was nicknamed "The Dust Bowl." This was the topic of John  Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.

astra-53 [7]

The demand element affects property value and provides answers to issues like how is the market? also, Are there more buyers than sellers, or the opposite?

The phrase demand factor is used to describe the fractional amount of a quantity being utilized in comparison to the maximum amount that might be used by the same system in the telecommunications, electronics, and electrical power industries. The demand factor is never more than one. Demand is a time-dependent number, just like the amount of demand is.

When the demand period's time period is understood by the context, the demand factor is frequently implicitly averaged over time.

NARA [144]

Answer:(a) Attention

Explanation:

Attention refers to the behaviour and cognitive way of focusing on one object or subject exceptionally whilst blocking everything else out.

Attention makes you keep out everything else either information or sensation and perception which seems not to matter at that moment and put all your focus energy into that one specific information that is vital to you at that moment .

Sarit is attracted to Mona and everything else seems to not matter at this moment because he wants to focus all his energy to her and probably get all her attention also in return.

A child who considers a person's intentions, as well as the consequences of a given action, is in Piaget's ___ morality stageaut
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The answer is Piaget's autonomous morality stage.

Explanation:

The influential psychologist Jean Piaget believed that children developed their morality in stages. The first was the heteronomous morality stage (between 5 and 9 years) where morality is imposed from the outside largely by authority figures like parents and teachers. The autonomous morality stage begins at around age 9 or 10 when children begin to recognize there is no absolute right or wrong. Piaget observed that children at this stage tend to base moral judgments on the intention of the actor rather than the consequences of the actions . They also think of hypothetical circumstances that might affect whether a rule should be applied or not. At this age the peer group of the child widens and they learn more about the morality of others and their own ideas begin to change.
