Answer:
Whites used the policy of apartheid to hold on to their power, wealth, and control.
Whites continued to control South Africa even after South Africa gained its independence.
Explanation:
The whites in South Africa use apartheid laws as a tool for domination over the majority who were Blacks.
The apartheid laws were discriminating and bias in nature, they gave a total say to the whites in South Africa while they oppressed the blacks.
The domination of up to 80 percent of the land in South Africa by whites who were the minority compared to blacks who were the majority clear gives evidence that the apartheid rules were working for the welfare of the white South Africans.
After independence, the whites in south Africa had the Apartheid rule in place to guard their intrests, this made the whites have authority over the black population hence, the whites continues to controll South Africa.
Answer:
Social Issues and Community Interactions
This chapter examines social issues involved in the siting and operation of waste-incineration facilities (such as incinerators and industrial boilers and furnaces), including possible social, economic, and psychological effects of incineration and how these might influence community interactions and estimates of health effects. Issues with respect to perceptions and values of local residents are also considered. In addition, this chapter addresses risk communication issues and approaches for involving the general public to a greater extent in siting and other decisions concerning incineration facilities. The committee recognized at the outset of its study that the social, economic, and psychological effects for a particular waste-incineration facility might be favorable, neutral, or adverse depending on many site-specific conditions and characteristics. However, the current state of understanding for many issues considered in this chapter is such that little or no data specific to waste incineration were available for analysis by the committee. In such cases, the committee identified key issues that should be addressed in the near future.
The social, psychological, and economic impacts of incineration facilities on their locales are even less well documented and understood than the health effects of waste incineration. When environmental-impact assessments are required for proposed federal or state actions, they typically must include socioeconomic-impact assessments, but the latter are often sketchy at best. They also might be given short shrift in the decision-making process (Wolf 1980; Freudenburg 1989; Rickson et al. 1990). Furthermore, these socioeconomic assessments attempt to be prospective—that is, they assess the likely effects of proposed actions. Little research has been done to evaluate systematically the socioeco-

nomic impacts of controversial waste-treatment or waste-disposal facilities that have been in place for several years or more (Finsterbusch 1985; Seyfrit 1988; English et al. 1991; Freudenburg and Gramling 1992). Moreover, the committee is not aware of any studies of the effects of removing an established incinerator. One reason for the lack of cumulative, retrospective socioeconomic-impact research is the lack of sufficient data. Although incineration facilities must routinely monitor and record emissions of specified pollutants, health-monitoring studies before or after a facility begins operation are only rarely performed, and periodic studies of the socioeconomic impacts of a facility over time are virtually nonexistent, partly because of methodological problems (Armour 1988) and the absence of regulations that necessitate continued monitoring of socioeconomic impacts.

Answer: be irrelevant to the justice or injustice of capital punishment.
Explanation:
From the information given, Banks was charged with murder but his lawyer failed to vigorously cross-examine an informant testifying against Banks or to investigate the case.
Based on the above, since Banks may not have received a fair trial because of poor representation, then a retentionist would argue that the injustice in the conduct of the trial would be irrelevant to the justice or injustice of capital punishment.
