Answer:

Clearcutting pros: It creates wide, open spaces with lots of sun exposure. This allows the most sunlight to reach tree seedlings that require full-sun conditions to thrive. ... Clearcutting is the most efficient and economical method of harvesting a large group of trees.

Explanation:

Conditions for which clear-cutting can be used as a harvesting tool include:

Regenerating tree species that need full sunlight to stimulate seed sprouting and seedling growth.

Dealing with sparse, exposed, or shallow-rooted trees in danger of being damaged by wind.

Trying to produce an even-aged stand.

Regenerating stands of tree species dependent on wind-blown seed, or cones that need fire to drop seed.

over-mature stands and/or stands killed by insects, disease, or fire.

Converting to another tree species by planting or seeding.

Providing habitat for wildlife species that require an edge, new ground, and "high-density, even-aged stands."

Nikitich [7]

Prejudice is a major cause of in-groups as similar minded people, with alike prejudices, might join to form a clique. Some consider cliques to be a social norm, and to "fit in", they feel compelled to join one. Scapegoating a common tactic used by mobs to blame one, or a few individuals, even if there isn't sufficient evidence to prove guiltiness. Equal status contract explains why people form cliques and why they can act hostile to others, but not to people in their "group".
