Explanation:   Culture represents the complete acquired knowledge, beginning with the early knowledge related to observing the universe, the movement of the stars, the study of natural phenomena. Initially, this knowledge was based on ordinary observation without powerful tools, which gradually developed, so today knowledge and scientific achievements are based on modern methods of science where it is even possible to sample from the moon and study it. In addition to knowledge, culture is made up of all religious experiences, direct and indirect, beliefs that arose from those experiences as well as their multi-millennial  systematization and upgrading. Then the technology mentioned is also an integral part of culture, because it shapes people's habits, customs, and thus influences the shaping of culture through their development.

Ever since humans arrived on earth, we can observe three key cultural changes that have decisively influenced culture formation, development and human progress. Each of the changes is a turning point in the way people live, their habits, their relationships, the causes of war, and culture in general. The first change is the emergence of agriculture, when people usually settled in river valleys began to reap the benefits of river gifts during the year and cultivate the fertile land that would emerge. The rich yields from agriculture meant an initial fortune that gradually grew and the opportunity to exchange for other products but also to expand our own production possibilities. This is how some of the most famous ancient civilizations were born, such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, etc. Already with the first advancement in agriculture and the way of thinking about the settlement of fertile plains due to yield and wealth, or near the coasts, for ease of trade, fishing, etc., a culture of life is developing in populated, civilized and even urban settlements. On the one hand, this meant cultural progress, but also devastating wars over fertile plains, convenient shores, as well as the concentration of people in certain places and the pollution of those places. It was not uncommon for an epidemic of a disease to occur in populated areas, or due to over-grazing of land, resorting to alternative farming methods, and even ferocious wars and land grabbing. All of this affected the environment. We cannot say that the pollution at the time was the same as at the time of the Industrial Revolution, or as it is today, but it was certainly more than before the emergence of agricultural societies and the rise of civilizations.

Another major cultural change was caused by the Industrial Revolution. In such a short time, an unprecedented large change in population composition, huge migration to cities, change of working habits, exhausting work, large factories, steam engine, shift work, electricity inventions, are crucial influence on lifestyle, behavior, relationships, so to culture. All this again, unfortunately, has contributed a great deal to environmental pollution. With the advent of factories, railways, steam engines, an incomparable amount of waste was thrown into nature, rivers, lakes, seas, than before. The Industrial Revolution meant a major advance in knowledge, production technology, science, culture in general, but all this contributed to the unprecedented environmental degradation.

Finally, the third big change is the information revolution, in which we live, and which shapes the culture so that it becomes global, that is, easy access to information, easier travel to the outermost places of the earth, the global economy and business. This means that all this has shaped the way people think, their habits, their attitudes, their business, that is, it has shaped the culture in which we live. It has its benefits, but pollution is greater than ever. The development of technology that goes hand in hand with the development of knowledge and availability of information is so much that technology itself has begun to seriously disrupt the environment to the point of red alarm. This red alarm refers to global warming, climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, holes in ozone due to the use of freon, etc.

That is why the environmental revolution, or the so-called sustainable revolution, is important, and represents a shift from modern technologies based on harmful fuels such as fossil to modern technologies that use sustainable sources of energy and which do not nearly pollute the environment, as technologies with fossil fuels. These are so-called clean technologies, and the environmental revolution represents a revolutionary transition to such technologies and their widespread use.

When an argument is deductively valid, its ___________ guarantee the truth of its ______________.
Y_Kistochka [10]

When an argument is deductively valid, its <u>truth of premises </u>guarantee the truth of its <u>conclusion</u>.

<h3>What is a deductively valid argument?</h3>

A deductive argument is an argument  intended by the arguer to be deductive, that is, to provide a guarantee of the truthfulness of the conclusion provided that the premises of the argument are true.

It can also be expressed  by saying that, in a deductive argument, the premises are intended to provide  strong support for the conclusion that if the premises were true,  the conclusion could not be false.

The argument in which the premise succeeds in securing the conclusion is called a  valid (inferential) argument. If a valid argument has a true premise, the argument is also said  to be valid. All arguments are  valid or invalid, and valid or not; there's no middle point, like there's some relevance.
