Answer: d. a publicly perceived risk of siting a toxic or nuclear waste disposal facility near their homes.

Explanation:

"NIMBY" literally means "Not In My Back Yard". It is a pejorative to describe the reaction of a group of people, generally, homeowners, who refuse to build a facility that they consider to be dangerous for themselves, a property, their community, or even their lifestyle.

This attitude is viewed in a bad way since people generally refuse to let the construction be carried out for personal reasons, they even agree that the construction should be carried out in another distant place.

An example of this is when the government wants to build an airport, people generally do not want to build them near their homes because of the increased noise it generates, but they always agree that more airports be built.

Do you believe charismatic authority has played a role in our last two presidential elections?
adoni [48]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Going to assume your'e talking about US elections. I will try to remain unbiased.

Presidents Trump and Biden have very night and day styles of charisma, which are both very interesting to analyze.

Trump's charisma was the type to get people riled up, while using terms that any person can understand. He was never afraid to speak his mind and advertised himself as someone whos agaisnt the establishment. Of course, we saw how this caused a bunch of chaos throughout the country in many different fields. It is with the background of this chaos that we can analyze Biden's charismatic authority. He presented himself as a regular man; "Uncle Joe" if you will, unlike his celebrity businessman predecessor. With this presented a sort of "return to normalcy" from the chaos of Trump's presidency. He doesn't present himself as the type to be very outlandish.

Hope this helps!
