Answer:

A) Diffusion of Responsibility

Explanation:

Since there were around 37-38 potential witnesses to her stabbing that did not call 911 or try to help Kitty, psychologists came up with the idea of diffusion of responsibility. This hypothesis theorizes that the more people there are that witness a crime/ situation where someone needs help, the less likely they are to step in as they would have less responsibility than if there were only a few witnesses.

Analyze the origins and development of slavery in Britain's North American colonies in the period 1607 to 1776.

kogti [31]

The origins of slavery in Britain's North American colonies can be traced back to the early 1600s, when the first African slaves were brought to the Virginia colony. At first, these slaves were used primarily for labor in the tobacco fields. However, by the mid-1700s, the use of slaves had spread to other areas of the colonies, such as the Carolinas and Georgia, where they were used for labor in the rice and indigo fields.

The development of slavery in the British colonies was largely shaped by the demand for labor. As the colonies grew and became more economically prosperous, the demand for labor increased. This led to the importation of more slaves from Africa. By the time of the American Revolution, there were an estimated 500,000 slaves in the British colonies.

North American colonies:

The British North American colonies were well-established communities that were tightly linked to the Atlantic and Caribbean commerce networks. Although religious ideals drove many settlers, others regarded the colonies as a chance to buy their own land, work for themselves, or strike it rich.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeèéēêėęeese help

zimovet [89]

Answer/Explanation:

We would solve for the value of x in each case.

1. $4x = 12$

$x = \frac{12}{4}$ (division property of equality)

$x = 3$

2. $\frac{x}{14} = -7$

$x = -7 \times 14$ (multiplication property of equality)

$x = -98$

3. $26 = 14 + x$

$26 - 14 = x$ (subtraction property of equality)

$12 = x$

$x = 12$

4. $-2 + x = 7$

$x = 7 + 2$ (addition property of equality)

$x = 9$

5. $x - 6 = -2$

$x = -2 + 6$ (addition property of equality)

$x = 4$

6. $- 5 = \frac{x}{8}$

$- 5 \times 8 = x$ (multiplication property of equality)

$-40 = x$

7. $- 7 = x + 3$

$- 7 - 3 = x$ (subtraction property of equality)

$-10 = x$

$x = -10$

8. $-6x = 42$

$x = \frac{42}{-6}$ (division property of equality)

$x = -7$

9. $\frac{x}{6} = 4$

$x = 4 \times 6$ (multiplication property of equality)

$x = 24$

10. $13 = x - 4$

$13 + 4 = x$ (addition property of equality)

$17 = x$

$x = 17$

11. $100 = -25x$

$\frac{100}{-25} = x$ (division property of equality)

$-4 = x$

$x = -4$

12. $-7 + x = 4$

$x = 4 + 7$ (subtraction property of equality)

$x = 11$

13. $7 + x = 37$

$x = 37 - 7$ (subtraction property of equality)

$x = 30$

14. $56 = 8x$

$\frac{56}{8} = x$ (division property of equality)

$7 = x$

$x = 7$

15. $\frac{x}{1} = -18$

$x = -18$ (multiplication property of equality)

$x = -18$

16. $x + 6 = 16$

$x = 16 - 6$ (subtraction property of equality)

$x = 10$

17. $x - 1 = -1$

$x = -1 + 1$ (subtraction property of equality)

$x = 0$

18. $10x = 70$

$x = \frac{70}{10}$ (division property of equality)

$x = 7$

19. $-11 = \frac{x}{3}$

$-11 \times 3 = x$ (multiplication property of equality)

$x = -33$

20. $x - 5 = 1$

$x = 1 + 5$ (addition property of equality)

$x = 6$

In sentence 19 (reproduced below), the writer is considering deleting the underlined phrase.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

B. Keep it, because it draws on evidence from the third paragraph to make a more persuasive case for why the North Cascades are a good place to resettle the goats.

Explanation:

Answer B

Correct. The underlined phrase shows how the environment of North Cascades National Park—the presence of salt licks and the relative lack of hikers—makes it less likely that the safety concerns discussed in paragraph 3 will arise in the North Cascades. With easier access to salt that does not come from humans, the goats will pose less of a threat to humans. By making this logical connection between the evidence in paragraph 3 and the passage’s case for the necessity of the goat relocation program, the writer makes the argument more persuasive.

Where do you see cultural diversity in your everyday life?<br><br><br> please write 50-100 words

amid [387]

Answer:

We could quite safely state that in our society everybody

deals on a daily basis with people from different origins

and cultures. In our neighborhoods, places of work

and study, and even in our families, there are people

who come from different continents, who speak

different languages, practice their own customs and

profess different religions.

At the same time, we share and interact in the same

environment which has many common values and norms,

and we all act similarly in everyday events –like going to

school or work, going for a walk, playing sports, shopping

at the supermarket or watching television–.

Cultural diversity contains great potential for

educational and personal development as it allows

for mutual enrichment, thanks to those factors

that differentiate us –languages, customs, historic

memories, beliefs, etc.–. This mutual enrichment is

often made possible due to those factors that unit us

–common values and norms of coexistence in everyday

situations–.

We live in a plural society where cultural diversity exists

and is manifest on many levels: the autochthonous

population is diverse and the immigrant population is

made up of many sociologically and culturally different

groups. Although common aspects are shared, there

is also diversity within these groups as no person is

exactly the same as another. This diversity is manifest

in many different cultural expressions which form part

of human heritage
