It is true. Because no one wanted to take the rugged journey all the way across the united states, especially because there was no continental railroad yet.

How does the environment influence natural selection?
marta [7]
Natural selection is rhe sirvival of the fittest. The fittest for the environment. If there is a sudden change in the environment say for example, flood or forest fire, etc. , species that once thrived may no longer have what it takes to survive in the changed environment. Other species might find it easier to thrive in the changed environment.

How does/did isis (seek to) directly challenge the state's authority and legitimacy?​
Sedaia [141]

Explanation:

The Islamic State (ISIS) is in sharp decline, but in its rout lie important lessons and lingering threats. This is true for the four countries of the Maghreb covered in this report, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, which constitute a microcosm of ISIS’ identity, trajectory and shifting fortunes to date. Those countries possess two unwanted claims to fame: as a significant pool of ISIS foreign fighters and, in the case of Libya, as the site of ISIS’ first successful territorial conquest outside of Iraq and Syria. The pool is drying up, to a point, and the caliphate’s Libyan province is no more. But many factors that enabled ISIS’s ascent persist. While explaining the reasons for ISIS’ performance in different theatres is inexact and risky science, there seems little question that ending Libya’s anarchy and fragmentation; improving states’ capacities to channel anger at elites’ predatory behaviour and provide responsive governance; treading carefully when seeking to regiment religious discourse; and improving regional and international counter-terrorism cooperation would go a long way toward ensuring that success against ISIS is more than a fleeting moment.

Its operations in the Maghreb showcase ISIS’s three principal functions: as a recruitment agency for militants willing to fight for its caliphate in Iraq and Syria; as a terrorist group mounting bloody attacks against civilians; and as a military organisation seeking to exert territorial control and governance functions. In this sense, and while ISIS does not consider the Maghreb its main arena for any of those three forms of activity, how it performed in the region, and how states reacted to its rise, tells us a lot about the organisation.

What are the 4 functions families provide to individuals and society? Which do think is the most important? WHY?
Airida [17]
The four functions that families provide to individuals and society are as follows:

1.Families provide a stable and supportive environment for children's primary socialization. Through socialization provided by parents and older family members, children learn basic behaviors (putting own clothes, using a toilet, table manners, etc.). Furthermore, parents play the primary role in teaching  children appropriate norms and values of the society they live in. 

2. Next, families provide a big source of support (both financial and emotional support) for its members. Parents support children both financially and emotionally- putting them through school, keeping them warm in the winter, enrolling them for extracurricular activities, etc. Children also support their parents emotionally and in intangible ways by bringing them joy and happiness. 

3. Third, families provide conducive environments for healthy and frequent sexual activity. Spouses in a family are able to regularly fulfill their sexual needs, making them less likely to have sexual relations with others outside their marriage. This reduces conflict and helps maintain order in society.

4. Lastly, families enable the reproduction of children and propagation of the human species. Through reproduction of new individuals, society is provided with new productive members. This benefits society and keeps it functioning.  Without new members being regularly added to it, society cannot continue to exist. 

I believe that the most important function of families for individuals and society is the first one mentioned above - families provide a stable and supportive environment for children's primary socialization. This function is very important because without proper socialization, individuals will be unable to function smoothly in society, and could even face debilitating issues. When individuals are properly socialized, it benefits society too by minimizing conflict and crime and ensuring that members of society contribute by adding positive value.

sleet_krkn [62]

"Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;"

As the whole play portrays a passionate love tends to not last, that is why he states that love should be meant to last, then it should be rationed.
