How should a river be used? Should it provide clean drinking water for the people living nearby? Should it be used as a source o

f hydroelectric power for cities downstream? Should it be used for fishing, rafting, or transporting goods from place to place? Should it be used for watering crops? Or should it remain in its natural state, unaffected by the activities of humans? These questions have never been answered to everyone's satisfaction. All over the world, rivers have been dammed, drained, and diverted for watering, transportation, energy production, and recreation. Farmers are irate when they can't use river water for their crops. Those who make their living from fishing are unhappy when farmers take the water or when farm pesticides and fertilizers pollute it. Strong and sometimes even violent disagreements occur over how best to use this limited resource.
Why does the first paragraph ask a series of questions?
a) to persuade the reader to support river conservation movements
b) to help readers decide what our rivers should really be used for
c) to show the reader the conflicting demands on our water resources
d) to show readers the water problems created by prior appropriation

I need some recommendations what should I write for my second body paragraph and where can I find good evidence I’m struggling r
Verizon [17]
For your second paragraph you should do some pros and cons of public and homeschooling, keep them even so it doesn’t look like all of them are just opinions of yours. Also you could add how kids of different ages feel about public and homeschooling. Put in more facts so you don’t keep saying the same sentence over and over in different words because that usually makes the reader get bored. To restate your thesis write it again in the last paragraph but with different words and change it up a little to mean the same thing but with a different structure. Also you should use evidence.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

- Ethnocentrism.

Explanation:

'Ethnocentrism' is defined as the disposition in which an individual perceives the world through his own cultural point of view which is considers as the standard for evaluating and deducing all the other cultures. Such perspective is often considered biased or prejudiced as one is greatly influenced by his culture that makes him overlook the positives of other cultures.

As per the question, Abigail's attitude would be regraded as 'ethnocentrism' as she criticizes German culture as she perceives the world through the American(cultural) perspective(as a standard) and judges the German culture on the basis of her standard cultural perception. Thus, her attitude would be characterized as '<u>ethnocentrism</u>'.
