Answer: He was referring to the production technologies i.e. the methods employed to extract, produce and utilize resources were man-made and far from naturally ideal.

Explanation: Barry Commoner was an American cellular biologist, professor and politician. He was a leading ecologist and among the founders of the modern environmental awareness movements.

The above excerpt is from his book, The Closing Circle published in 1971, where Commoner exposed the role of capitalism and profit as root causes of environmental degradation, at a time when majority of writers were blaming individual behaviour or overpopulation for pollution.

15. why did the Berbers eventually learn to live peacefully with thier Arab conquerors?
rodikova [14]
That's a hard one to answer but from all my reading it would seem there was one main reason. The Berbers were nomads so they never were able to be collectively together to form an army against invaders. Therefore, the Berbers were constantly being conquered by someone. Each time they had to learn new laws set out by the conquerors. When the Arabs came with their mighty army, they knew they couldn't fight so giving in was in an odd way a protection system of kinds.

In our American adversarial judicial system, attorneys represent both the suspect and the people. Frequently, defense attorneys
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer Explanation:

Attorneys finds it more convenient to advocate for prosecutors or the police whom are believed to be upholding law and order in the society but may find it difficult to defend a guilty person against serious charges. But it is worthy to note that the failure of these attorneys to advocate for both parties can permit the law enforcement to trample on the liberty of anyone and everyone, even those that may be innocent.
