Answer:
Middle Ages or Medieval Period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century
Answer: C. Forest areas in the region are limited, and the loss of forests leads to drought, soil erosion, and habitat destruction.
Explanation:
Deforestation refers to the cutting down of and destruction of trees in an area so that the land may be used for something else. Deforestation in Australia is being driven by the need for farmland especially for cattle farming.
One problem with this is that forest areas are limited in Australia which has less than 17% of its land mass consisting of forests. The loss of these forests will lead to drought, soil erosion and habitat destruction to animals with an already limited habitat.
Answer:
D. Referendum
Explanation:
If citizens are unhappy if a piece of legislation and want it struck down they have the right to call a referendum. This allows the people to vote on it directly.
There are many theories to power, be they liberal, socialist or otherwise. Many have been developed over centuries of thought, which pick apart the very nature of our society and world order. But of all the theories that I’ve come across, one sticks out more than any other, and it is the reason I hold such strong free-market/anti-state views. It’s called Public Choice theory, but don’t ask me why, because it seems to explain why any one but ’the public’ makes choices today.
Public Choice theory is modern, having only really taken off during the 1960’s, but I believe it grants a very realistic and worrying view of Britain’s power structure, and exposes many very deep scars which socialism and Keynesianism unintentionally inflicted on our country. It was heavily developed by the US economist James Buchanan, who won the 1986 Nobel Memorial Prize for his work, and who advised Margaret Thatcher through the Institute for Economic Affairs during the late 1970′s.
Just like capitalism, Public Choice theory is based on two simple assumptions about human nature. Firstly, that humans are principally self-interested. That’s not to say we’re selfish, which is somewhat more immoral, but rather that we will always aim to fulfil our wants and desires, economic or otherwise. Secondly, that humans are rational; when presented with a series of options, we will select whichever makes us the most happy for the least cost. Rational Choice theory, as it is called, has come under substantial intellectual attack in the past, and I don’t personally believe that all humans act completely rationally all the time, but as a model for human behaviour, I’d say it provides a pretty good analysis.
