Answer:

The right answer is:

A. increasing mistrust of the government.

Explanation:

The credibility of the political system and of the political class was undermined by both events. Since JFK, the successive administrations did not tell the whole truth about the war in Vietnam, they kept telling the pubic America and her allies were winning the war; that perception was brutally challenged by the 1968 Tet Offensive by the Communist Viet Cong in South Vietnam, a military setback but a great coup d´image for the Vietnamese guerillas fighting the pro-American regime. So, in 1969, Richard Nixon was elected under the promise he´d extricate the USA from the Southeast Asian nightmare with honor. The Watergate scandal of 1972-1974 severely eroded the aura and prestige of the presidency, as Nixon´s lies and justice obstruction became public. It ended with his resignation from the presidency.

How did the domestication of plants and animals affect agrarian societies? Write your answer in a paragraph of at least 125 word

Answer:1 They could rest assured that their food supply was more stable and constant if they planted consistently. To do this they learned to observe the stars and seasons to be ready for planting and harvesting. They fought over and secured land that was arable and then protected it with military might to protect their food supply. To that end.....

2 the early farmers became specialized in their labor and became potters, tanners, government leaders, accountants (well, they could count anyway!) and the myriad of other jobs that a modern community needed to survive. They took time to learn their tasks (education) and practiced those in communities governed by those whom they empowered. By the time you get to ancient Egypt, the range of jobs was pretty diverse for this largest and most successful agrarian society.

3 Early farmers also began to think seriously about continuity and a lasting society, so they worked hard on laws and taught their children respect for their society. Then they thought about the need for more land and growing the size of their kingdoms to ensure its permanence.
