LO5.2 On average, how much did corn subsidies cost per person in the United States in 2012? (Hint: A billion is a 1 followed by nine zeros. A million is a 1 followed by six zeros.)

Answer:

The correct answer is $10

Explanation:

Taking into account that $3 billion equals $3,000,000,000 and 300 million equals 300,000,000, we can proceed to simplify the division as $3,000/300. The result is $10.

We can prove this by multiplying the amount of people, 300 million per $10, and as a result we have $3 billion.

This means that corn subsidies in 2012 cost, on average,  $10 per person in the United States.

For years, parents have wondered whether physical discipline of their children (spanking, for example) was an effective and acce
Marat540 [252]

People ( especially new parents.) instead of being consistent they only use punishment for things that originally they didn't pay attention to.

They could also use abusive words while punishing their child which is damaging and defeats the purpose of Discipline. Discipline isn't punishment. It's a word meaning To teach. Punishment just goes along with discipline if the child doesn't respond to the teaching.

DO NOT spank at the first offence the child commits.  First, make sure they know what they did was wrong, second initiate a discussion on how it made you feel and what you expected of them. Forgive the first offence. Second offence, talk about how you told them last time and if they understood. Mild punishment ( time out, no TV whichever you wish.)

Third offence. Spanking. Ask them if they know what they did was wrong, find out and then deliver the punishment in a calm manner, not out of anger.

And don't say anything to them afterwards, leave them to have their cry and then come back after a bit and accept their apology and tell them you love them and that you want them to be happy and ask them if they're happy when they're good and obey you. They will see they can talk to you and that you're not unreasonable and that the punishments were not unexpected or out of anger.

99% of spankings are used because the parents are angry or because they don't know of any other solutions. I've seen good kids raised with spankings, and bad kids raised with spankings. Spankings is a Tool, the one using the tool is the one at fault for how they do it.

Define secularism . What do you understand by ‘sovereignty’ ?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Sovereignty is a political concept that refers to dominant power or supreme authority. In a monarchy, supreme power resides in the "sovereign", or king. In modern democracies, sovereign power rests with the people and is exercised through representative bodies such as Congress or Parliament.

Explanation:

As a philosophy, secularism seeks to interpret life based on principles derived solely from the material world, without recourse to religion. It shifts the focus from religion towards "temporal" and material concerns.

4. What was the name of the solution that led to Missouri becoming a state and what agreements were made in the solution?​
Basile [38]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The solution that led to Missouri becoming a state is conveniently known as the Missouri Compromise. Missouri would join the country as a slave state, but they agreed that no new slave states could be created above the Missouri Compromise line and that Maine had to be admitted as a free state to hold the balance between slave and free states.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
