8 0

The challenges and difficulties of feeding the world's population

Explanation:

Lifeboat Ethics is a metaphor for asset distribution proposed by the ecologist Garrett Hardin in 1974.  

Hardin's metaphor depicts a raft bearing 50 individuals, with space for ten more. The raft is in a sea encompassed by a hundred swimmers. The "morals" of the circumstance originate from the issue of whether swimmers ought to be taken on board the raft.

Hope this helps

What is the most likely reason Shakespeare repeats "great" and "greatly"? Shakespeare utilizes the repetition of "great" to help
liraira [26]

Answer:

Shakespeare capitalizes on the multiple meanings of "great" to help emphasize Hamlet’s point.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the revenge plan of the young prince Hamlet over the death of his father, King Hamlet. And in the process of trying to avenge his father's death, hamlet exudes certain qualities of man such as appearance vs. reality, truth vs. lie, goodness over evil, love, religion, women, etc.

In Act IV scene iv, Hamlet reflects <em>"Rightly to be great / Is not to stir without great argument, / But greatly to find quarrel in a straw"</em>. This scene where Hamlet and his friends encountered Prince Fortinbras on his way to fight Poland over a small patch of land revealed to Hamlet how people are ready to shed blood over a piece of worthless land. But, even though he had much to gain by getting revenge on his father's killers, he is still indecisive.

So, <u>by repeating the word "great" and "greatly", Shakespeare helps emphasize the importance of Hamlet's point of getting his father's revenge</u>.

In 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain how your protagonist changes from the beginning of the story to the end in your Mo
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Waverly Place Jong was a poor Chinese girl

<em>She could see life is wonderful through little things</em>

She did not play with her toys anymore

<em>She was interested in playing chess</em>

She participated in different tournament

Specific detail one

<u><em>Having watched the older children opening their gifts, I already knew that the big gifts were not necessarily the  nicest ones. One girl my age got a large coloring book of biblical characters, while a less greedy girl who selected  a smaller box received a glass vial of lavender toilet water.</em></u>

Specific detail two

<u><em>I found out about all the whys later. I read the rules and looked up all the big words in a dictionary. I borrowed  books from the Chinatown library. I studied each chess piece, trying to absorb the power each contained.  I learned about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on; the shortest distance  between two points is straight down the middle. I learned about the middle game and why tactics between two  adversaries are like clashing ideas; the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting  out of traps. I learned why it is essential in the endgame to have foresight, a mathematical understanding of all  possible moves, and patience; all weaknesses and advantages become evident to a strong adversary and are  obscured to a tiring opponent. I discovered that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the  endgame before the game begins.</em></u>

Explanation:

The two sentences choosen up there explain different changes that the girl had in the story and all those extract from the text help me to support both sentences
