Answer:

The parents are using punishment to suppress the screaming; their use of punishment is negatively reinforced by the cessation of screaming.

Explanation:

Punishment: In psychology, the term "punishment" is determined as one of the concepts of operant conditioning which was proposed by B. F. Skinner. Punishment referred to any specific changes in an organism's (human beings & animals) environmental surrounding that tends to occur only when a particular response or behavior is being provided and generally reduces the response or behavior to occur again in the future.

Punishment is of two types i.e, negative and positive punishment.

In the question above, the given statement represents the negative punishment (decreases an unwanted behavior by removing a desired thing).

Egyptians were better off with a democratically elected regime. The  benefits of a democracy by far surpasses the excesses of a military dictatorship, in that in a democracy, freedoms and liberties are protected.
 however, the Egyptian situation was different because the democratically elected president became the enemy of freedoms and liberties such as freedom to worship, and promoted radical brotherhood views.
 the problem was with the way the transition was handled, as the military ought to have let parliament or the people decide the course of society. the problem, however is, with religion such as Islam the achievement of the democratic ideals is a long shot?

How does the opening story demonstrate the importance of community level analysis of ecology?
OlgaM077 [116]
Ecology, a community is a group or association of populations of two or more different species occupying the same geographical area and in a particular time, also known as a biocoenosis. The term community has a variety of uses. In its simplest form it refers to groups of organisms in a specific place or time, for example, "the fish community of Lake Ontario before industrialization".

Community ecology or synecology is the study of the interactions between species in communities on many spatial and temporal scales, including the distribution, structure, abundance, demography, and interactions between coexisting populations.[1] The primary focus of community ecology is on the interactions between populations as determined by specific genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. Community ecology has its origin in European plant sociology. Modern community ecology examines patterns such as variation in species richness, equitability, productivity and food web structure (see community structure); it also examines processes such as predator–prey population dynamics, succession, and community assembly.

On a deeper level the meaning and value of the community concept in ecology is up for debate. Communities have traditionally been understood on a fine scale in terms of local processes constructing (or destructing) an assemblage of species, such as the way climate change is likely to affect the make-up of grass communities.[2] Recently this local community focus has been criticised. Robert Ricklefs has argued that it is more useful to think of communities on a regional scale, drawing on evolutionary taxonomy and biogeography,[1] where some species or clades evolve and others go extinct.
