Answer:

1. The end of Bretton Woods

2. Energy control

3. Different

Explanation:

1 First a little economic history:  the Bretton Woods Gold Pool (Conversion of Gold into Dollars) ended in 1971, and marked the end of financial control the U.S. had over the rest of the world. In other words: the Dollar showed signs of weakness.

At the same time American oil consumption was rising but domestic oil production was declining. Policymakers in Washington didn´t believe that Arab oil exporters were willing to risk to lose the U.S. market.

But they did, and this, combined with the Palestine-Israel conflict, led to the oil crisis of 1973 when an oil embargo imposed by OPEC, led to fuel shortages and sky-high prices.

2. In the 21st century American still rely heavenly on foreign oil. The U.S. consumes about 20 million of the roughly 80 million barrels of oil consumed daily in the world! 3/5 of that is imported.

As we have seen the U.S. is still very vulnerable in the oil-department. Therefore the U.S. has supported energy and environmental improvements, such as the use of renewable energy sources.

3. They are similar in relying heavenly on foreign oil, then and now. They are different in seeking actively energy alternatives in this century.

True or False?In order for the agenda-setting function hypothesis to be established as a causal relationship, a lag in public pr
Kruka [31]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

<em>Agenda-setting theory</em> is a social science theory which attempts to make predictions regarding the influence of the media. It describes the ability of news media to influence the important topics on the public agenda.

This theory argues that the news media has a great influence on the audience by covering some news more frequently and prominently, thus making the audience think of it as more important.

Nevertheless, news media does not operate within a vacuum. Policy makers and participation of the public have an important role when it comes to the decision of what makes public priorities. Therefore the society is active in building the setting and making a causal relationship with the media which then is reshaping the agenda-setting.

This is an example of "Expanding".

The primary idea is to "Expand" the short phrases into full understandable sentences. For example when a child says' Me big boy", her mother can expand the sentence and understand that what the boy said, she can reply "Yes you are a big boy".

bixtya [17]

Answer:

instinct

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud identifies two main drives that regulate and motivate behavior, Eros, and Thanatos.

They are the equivalents for drive to live and drive to die. They shape the later emotions, thoughts, and actions that form human experience.
