Answer:

<em><u>C.) An Earth-Centric model of planetary motion published by Ptolemy </u></em>

Explanation:

Earth-centric  model was developed by Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemaeus in the 2nd century AD. <em>'</em><em>Almagaest'</em> was his main work and it was the culmination of centuries of work done in Astronomy by Babylonian, Hellenistic and Hellenic astronomers. His model involved 80 epicycles to explain the motion of Five planets, sun and moon.

Summarize the theory put forth by Spencer in his philosophy of Social Darwinism.​
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Social Darwinism describes the various theories that emerged in Western Europe and North America in the 1870s which applied biological concepts of natural selection and survival of the fittest to sociology, economics, and politics. Social Darwinism posits that the strong see their wealth and power increase while the weak see their wealth and power decrease. Different social Darwinist groups have differing views about which groups of people are considered to be the strong and which groups of people are considered to be the weak, and they also hold different opinions about the precise mechanisms that should be used to reward strength and punish weakness. Many such views stress competition between individuals in laissez-faire capitalism, while others were used in support of authoritarianism, eugenics, racism, imperialism, fascism, Nazism, and struggle between national or racial groups.

The Chinese recently announced an end to their one-child policy. How would Thomas Malthus react to China’s one-child policy?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Malthus was very concerned about unchecked population growth.

Explanation:

As a matter of opinion, I think it would be safe to say that Thomas Malthus would be in favor of the one-child policy because it would be a limit to the exponential growth in population we have undergone since his time. He was worried about our rapid growth in population and not being able to sistaine resources. He famously proposed 2 ways to keep our population in check, by means of "moral restraint" which China's policy would fall under or by means of natural plagues, famine various disease and even warfare.
