I wholeheartedly agree and think it’s practically self-evident.
Here’s an excellent example from history.
For 28 years, the Berlin Wall separated East Berlin from West Berlin and was the most heavily militarized border crossing in the Western hemisphere. In 1989, during a press conference with western media, Gunther Schabowski was handed a note explaining a change in policy governing border crossing. Several discussions took place about making a show of opening the border between East and West Germany, but nobody informed Schabowski.
At the end of the press conference, he appears to have remembered the note belatedly, and read it verbatim—which was not what was intended. When asked about when the border would open, he assumed it was immediate.
The reality of course was that East Germany had no intention of opening the border, and certainly not immediately.
Within hours, the border crossing was practically buried under thousands of East Germans eager to be reunited with their families and other loved ones after 28 years on the press conference, which had been broadcast live.
The East Germans believed what they were told: Schabowski said immediately, and they intended to go immediately.
Border guards kept calling for instructions, until finally, they relented.
Perception became reality, and the border between East and West Berlin opened, spelling the de facto end of the separation of Germany.

The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Savings and credit cooperatives or, simply, credit cooperatives are cooperative societies whose corporate purpose is to serve the financial needs of their members and third parties through the exercise of the activities of credit institutions.
Savings and credit cooperatives are also known for their acronym in English, SACCO: Savings and Credit Cooperative.
These cooperatives are usually local and seem to be more suited to rural areas. Above all they have access to external funds and they are properly managed. And although there is a World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) there are few local or rural cooperatives associated with it.
Answer:
B) $1,132,895
Explanation:
If the CPI = 15.2 in 1931, and in 2012 it was = 229.6, then President Hoover was making a fortune = (229.6 / 15.2) x $75,000 = $1,132,895, and he was a terrible president, one of the worst ones in all history.
In 2012 when President Obama was in office, he made around $400,000 and he was a much better president.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Recidivism can be defined as seen in the question as the tendency of an ex-convict to return to crime.
When a person returns from a sentence, he has nothing. No income, no job, etc. As a result of this, some ex-convicts are tempted into returning to the lifestyle that got them imprisoned in the first instance. Without a job,which is as a result of stigmatization of ex-convicts as never-do-well, there can't be income.
For this reason, the government should endeavor to give ex-convicts income support for a few months after their release from the prison. This will go a long way in helping the ex-convicts stay of crime and also help them plan towards a better life.
Cheers.
Answer:
Explanation:
GDP is gross domestic product and NDP is net domestic product.
GDP measures market value of total goods and services produced in a particular period of time.
NDP is net domestic product . In its calculation, we deduct the value of depreciation of capital goods produced from the value of GDP.
So
NDP = GDP - depreciation .
So growing gap between GDP and NDP reflects the increasing obsolescence of capital goods , which warrants replacement of capital goods .
OPTION A is correct.
