Answer:

- To discourage their return.

Explanation:

As one looks around, one can witness the diversity possessed by people not only in their food, language, or customs but also their beliefs and conviction.

According to the question, the societies or religions that believe in the supernatural tend to show faith in immaterial objects and beings like angels and spirits. Therefore, the reason(who believes in supernatural) behind the burning of the homes of the deceased after their death would be 'to discourage the return of the spirit' of deceased person. They believe that burning or discarding all their belongings or things that denote their existence would prevent the return of their spirit which they feel may possess a threat to them.

choose three U.S. society core values and discuss whether they impact or are being impacted by the shaping of "cool" for teenage
Galina-37 [17]
<span>Three U.S. society core values : Freedom, Privacy, and Free enterprise.

Freedom is impacted by the shaping of "cool" for teenagers because as new fads and technologies are developed and problems related to them arise, they are followed by laws, rules and values based on those fads and technologies. For example, when too many teenagers began "sagging" their pants because it was "cool", some jurisdictions passed laws against it.

Privacy is impacted by the shaping of "cool" for teenagers as new technologies are developed that create new invasions of that privacy. Case in point, Facebook created far reaching questions on privacy while at the same time being sold as "cool" to teenagers in college.

Free Enterprise is impacting the shaping of "cool" for teenagers as new technologies and fads are developed. Free Enterprise allowed Air Jordans, IPhones, Coca Cola and Levis jeans to exist, and thus market themselves to teenagers as, "cool".</span>
