Answer:

a) Malthus ignored other factors like technological change.

Explanation:

Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) was an English cleric and a scholar, most known for his demographics theory. He is an author of An Essay on the Principle of Population, where he observed that increasing production of food resulted in improved well-being of the population, but this was temporary because it led to a population growth. Larger population led to the restoration of original production per capita.

He was mainly wrong because he did not account for improvement in technology of production. Development and widespread use of technology meant that it is not needed to use the same amount of energy to produce goods. Production increased much faster than the increase of population, which resulted in a failure of his theory.

Explain determinism as a view of free will.

Yanka [14]

Determinism is the idea that free will is an illusion and that our behavior is governed by internaland external forces over which we have no control; consequently, our behavior is viewed as predictable. Hard determinism is the view that forces outside of our control have complete authority over behavior, however soft determinism opposes this view and suggests that we are constrained by these forces, but only to an extent as there is an element of free will in behavior.

How did the Qin pay for their great building projects, and how did this affect the fall of the Qin Empire?

borishaifa [10]

The Qin dynasty paid for their great building projects by Taxing the people

This affected the fall of the Qin Empire because:

It destroyed the economy and caused a revolt

Some of the building projects that were undertaken by the Qin empire includes:

The Great Wall of China
The Lingqu Canal
The Dujiangyan Irrigation System
The Zhengguo Canal, etc

These great building projects were mostly financed by collecting levies and taxing the people which was so expensive for the people to continue paying. This eventually led to a revolt of the people against the Qin dynasty.
