Answer:

<h3>D) ​Underclass</h3>

Explanation:

Underclass represent a section of the population who inhabits the lowest position in the class system of social order. They are below the working class as they find it hard to find stable jobs with steady income.

Compared to the working class, the underclass section of the population are exploited less. They are usually perceived to be less productive because of lack of education and skills. Thus, they are exploited less by the higher classes because of their incapacity to be productive. Instead, the working class, though higher than the underclass in the class ladder, is being exploited more because of their productivity.

In case of Tom, who belongs to the underclass section, despite having some earnings, he depends on government programs to make ends meet because his chances of being recruited into a stable job is very minimal.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a. Long Cycle Theory

Explanation:

In international relations theory, the Long Cycle Theory was first presented by  George Modelski in his book <em>Long Cycles in World Politics</em> (1987). Modelski claims that <u>the US replacing Britain as the leader of the International System after World War II is part of a cycle in international relations where one hegemon is gradually replaced by another over a period of roughly a century</u>.

The transition from one hegemonic power to another leads to the new world power carrying on the costs associated with such a position. And unlike defenders of the realist school of international relations, Modelski doesn't see this cycle as produced by the anarchy of the internationals system, but rather as a natural consequence of economic and political developments, including wars. According to him, Portugal was the world hegemon in the 16th century, Netherlands in the 17th century, Britain stretched his period of international dominance over the 18th and 19th century, and since the 20th century, the United States is the world's dominant hegemon.
