Answer:

The agencies being referred in Rachel Carson's <em>"Silent Spring"</em> are the state and federal agencies.

They are being reduced to the "so-called control agencies" because they don't really know much about the <em>effects of chemical insecticides</em> and how <em>potentially dangerous </em>they are to living things, yet they are the ones who allow its distribution to people.<u> They control the insects in the world</u> by allowing spraying operations, however they don't have any idea on how much damage they are causing to the world. Carson reduced this agencies <u>because they were spreading </u><u><em>"misinformation."</em></u>

Explanation:

"Silent Spring" was a book that stirred the public's attention. It talks about the bad effects of using chemical pesticides to the environment. Many critics opposed the book, yet it was able to move the Congress. This resulted to the operation of the Environmental Protection Agency in <em>1970.</em>

1. May karapatan ba ang mga kababaihan ayon sa batas ni Hammurabi at Manu? Ipaliwanag
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Ang Kababaihan sa Batas ni Hammurabi at Code of Manu

May lubos na kapangyarihan ang mga lalaki sa tahanan at maaari n'yang ipagbili ang kanyang asawa at mga anak

Ang amang ayaw pang ipakasal ang anak na nagdalaga na ay nakagagawa ng isang paglabag sa batas na kasing-sama ng pagpapalaglag ng bata

Ang huwarang agwat ng edad ng mag-asawa ay tatlong beses ang tanda ng lalaki sa kanyag asawang babae

Ang ama ng isang babae na tumanggap ng dote ay maihahalintulad sa sa isang tao na nag-aalok ng babae

Ang lahat ng ritwal na walang paggalang sa babae ay walang saysay.

Sa oras na ang isang brahmin o pari sa sa Hinduism ay makipagtalik sa isang mababang uri ng babae, tiyak na siya ay pupunta sa impyerno.

Ang mag babae ay itinuturing na bagay na maaaring ikalakal.

Ipinagbabawal ang paglahok ng mga kababaihan sa kalakalan.

Ang babaeng hindi tapat sa kanyang asawa ay paparusahan ng kamatayan
