Since you didn't specify one, I'll give you a little challenge: global climate change. 

<span>yes...this is not a "historical" answer, but please bear with me as you may learn something quite a bit more useful than a history lesson... </span>

<span>climate change is a very trendy topic now....and many of its proponents are absolutely convinced of its "science".. </span>

<span>...however, for many this absoute faith in the "science" translates all-too-easily into an absolute faith in the righteousness of the proposed "solutions"... </span>

<span>...for example, president obama recently celebrated his participation in a "landmark" international accord to combat climate change... many of his supporters lauded him for "taking a stand against global corporations and their exploitation of people and natural resources..." </span>

<span>great.... right? </span>

<span>this agreement contained two provisions that seemingly went unnoticed.... first, nations considered "developing" will not have to comply with the strict emmisions restrictions... second, all nations are required to designate a certain percentage of their natural forests & jungles as untouchable "preserves." </span>

<span>sounds good.... right? please think it through... </span>

<span>the agreement gives these nations the authority to displace any indigenous peoples who just happen to call those "preserves" home... over a million people are expected to be kicked off their ancestral lands in DR Congo alone. </span>

<span>keep in mind that most of these people will be illiterate hunter-gatherers ... how do you think they will manage to support themselves? </span>

<span>guess what? because those nations will not be required to meet environmental standards, a bunch of new factories, mines and refineries are sure to open up there....and they'll have all the cheap labor they could ever need! Yay! </span>

<span>and guess who owns those businesses? that's right, mega-corporations...guess who those corporations support? that's right... the very politicians who signed the climate change deal! </span>

<span>so you were asking about how "pseudo science" supports/justifies exploitation and imperialism? well....as the old rhyme goes: the wheels on the bus keep on going 'round and 'round... don't they?</span>

What does the trend toward descriptive representation suggest about what constituents value in their legislature? How might Cong
Mazyrski [523]

Legislatures have been decided by identity politics which has gained prominence in latest years.

Explanation:

Descriptive representation is first of all a symbol of identity politics in legislature which has now become increasingly common as the people have begun to question the legitimacy of the participant democracy of representatives.

Descriptive representation is the idea that a group must elect and individual who would be like them and have their experiences in their life to represent them in legislature.

Of course, this does not mean that the person would be an ideal candidate.

What principles underlie the foundation of American democracy?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The principle will be Equality, Justice, and Liberty.

Explanation:

Democracy throughout the U.S is guided by three values around which the country's economic socio-political structure is founded: liberty, freedom, and fairness (justice).

  • The nation, therefore, advocates equality for all its people, seeing this right as that of the privilege of every male and female to determine their respective existence without even any restriction whatsoever. To do this, it is the role of the government as well as the legislation treat everyone equally reasonably, that is, there was no other advantage than economic worth.
  • Ultimately, the convergence of both principles means the creation of a just society in which the honest is compensated as well as the incorrect is persecuted and in which the fruit of each dedication and commitment is received.

Que diferencias hay entre las corrientes que explican el origen de la humanidad creacionistas y cientificas?
Gnesinka [82]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no se anexan opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

¿Qué diferencias hay entre las corrientes que explican el origen de la humanidad Creacionista y Científicas?

Cuando hablamos de la perspectiva Creacionista, estamos hablando de un postulado religioso que indica que la creación del hombre proviene de la voluntad de Dios. Se basa en los textos de las llamadas sagradas escrituras o Biblia Cristiana. Esta óptica de la creación del hombre se plasma en el primer libro del Antiguo Testamento, llamado El Génesis.

La perspectiva Científica indica que el hombre es producto de una evolución natural de las especies. Una delas teorías científicas más reconocidas en este sentido es la Teoría de la Evolución de las Especies, del científico Charles Darwin.

Para la ciencia, el hombre es el producto de la evolución de miles y miles de años, hasta llegar a ser una creatura H*mo Erectus para finalmente convertirse en un H*mo Sapiens.
