Answer:

The correct response is Option B. Strict and conservative programs have done little to discourage widespread drug use.

Explanation:

A 2019 report by the OAS and CICAD says that in the Americas, tobacco is the only substance that seems to be decreasing in use in recent years (and notice that tobacco use is legal). The report states that the use of marijuana is increasing and that 50 percent of countries in the Americas have also reported greater cocaine use.  Drug use continues to evolve and this presents a challenge to health care systems and the government. For example, one of the growing categories is the use of pharmaceuticals without having a doctor's prescription.

Deflation affected the Dust Bowl in the 1930s by
maw [93]
Lowering the land. The Dust Bowl affected Iowa by blowing strong gust towards West/Central Iowa. It caused food shortages and caused many farmers to abandon their homes and head to the west. They could not eat because there was so much dirt in the food. People were wasting their money on food when they wouldn't even eat it. They had to kill jackrabbits by capturing them in a fence and people would hop over, kill them, and then eat them afterwards. If you would like to read a fascinating book about the Dust Bowl era, try The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of <span>Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl. It read like a novel but is sadly true.

How Did Inventions from the Industrial Revolution Impact Society?
lakkis [162]

The need for better transportation was essential for the United States. Miles of roads and new canals were built to connect the vast open areas of America. The steamboat was an important means of transportation in the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. However, the railroad quickly overshadowed the steamboat in the transportation revolution.

In 1830, the U.S. only had an estimated 100 miles of track. The railroads expanded rapidly after that. By 1860, 27,000 miles of track were built, and by 1900, 193,000 miles of track were completed. Importantly, these new tracks connected the eastern and western United States, made selling goods more affordable, and allowed a network of national supply distribution.

Railroad entrepreneurs competed ruthlessly with each other. For example, Jay Gould of the Union Pacific Railroad was often depicted as a greedy villain for his business practices. In order to keep his profits up, he drove many smaller railroad companies out of business, cut rates for large companies, offered rebates to powerful clients, and gave free passes to political leaders.

These unsavory business practices hurt small farmers and business owners who often paid excessive rates to make up for the rebates given to the wealthy. The federal government responded by enacting the Interstate Commerce Act in 1887. This legislation outlawed monopolies, rebates, and short-distance rates and established a committee to police the railroad industry.

The Steel Industry

Since the rapid growth of the railroad industry required large amounts of steel tracks, the steel industry also profited during the Industrial Revolution. Andrew Carnegie was involved in the expansion and streamlining of the American steel industry. A Scottish immigrant who moved to the U.S. in 1848, his first job was bobbin boy in a textile factory. He eventually became one of the wealthiest men of the 19th century.

By investing his earnings in the railroad industry, Carnegie made enough money to build his own steel mill. His mill operated on the principle of controlling every aspect of production to ensure maximum cost efficiency and output. By 1900, Carnegie Steel was the largest industrial corporation the world had ever seen.

Involuntary, court-ordered sterilization of the mentally handicapped was once approved by the U.S. Supreme Court in Buck v. Bell
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: eugenics

Explanation:

The Buck vs. Bell ruling (May 2, 1927) that approved the eugenic sterilization of those considered genetically feeble, led the way to similar laws in 30 states under which around 65,000 people were sterilized without consent.

The Virginia General Assembly would recognize that the sterilization law was founded on flawed science and on May 2, 2002, a marker was built to acknowledge Carrie Buck in Charlottesville, her hometown.
