Answer:

Explanation:

<u>One of the examples of behavior that would be considered deviant in one society and not in the other is the eating of certain animals. The examples are:</u>

  • Some societies in India consider the cow a sacred animal and never would consume beef.
  • Muslim societies do not eat pork meat.
  • Insects are considered a tasty snack in many countries, including Thailand, while it would be considered gross by many people from the west.
  • While some of the western European countries (like France and Belgium) have specialized butcher shops and restaurants for horse meat, eating it would most likely be considered taboo in the US or UK.
  • The most radical example is the eating of dogs, which occurs in some Asian countries, most notably China. There is even a whole festival for dog meat consumption in Yulin, and every year there are protests across the globe because of this event. Slaughtering dogs for meat consumption is prohibited in the US and plenty of other countries.

<u>With all of this, we can conclude that some food consumption can be seen as deviant in some parts of the world, while in others it is a normal occurrence and part of the every-day diet.</u>

Despite various taboos and laws, what we have to understand is that our connection to the animals is culturally constructed. The fact that people of the US feel closer to dogs, cats, and horses, but not to sheep and pigs, is not the fact supported by nature. There is nothing in nature itself and the nutrition of horses, insects, and various other species that prevents us to eat them. These deviances surrounding different meats are all culturally constructed. <u>This does not mean they are less real or that we should eat all the animals, just that we have to realize that our ways are no naturally more or less right than someone else’s.</u>

Financial Wizard, whose office was in New York City, scammed billions of dollars from investors in a vast securities fraud schem
9966 [12]

Answer:

Wizard can be subjected to two trials: he violated two different sets of laws, one on the federal level and one on the state level, so double jeopardy will not attach.

Explanation:

The United States is one of the few countries where each state can formulate its own laws, although federal laws are still submissive. That is, the federal government formulates laws that are valid for all states simultaneously; however, while all states are subject to federal law, each state may formulate its own laws that will be valid only within its territory. Based on this, we can come to a conclusion about the case, shown in the question above.

If securities fraud is a federal crime and is also a crime in New York State, the person or organization accused of securities fraud should be subject to two trials, one federal and one state. Therefore, the Wizard can be subjected to two trials: it violated two different sets of laws, one at the federal level and one at the state level, so the double risk does not apply.

True Or false?<br> The American Indian population increased during de soto’s expedition.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

That statement is false.

Explanation:

Many of the members of De Soto's expedition were carriers of diseases such as measles, smallpox, and chicken pox. Very few of American Indian have resistance to the disease because they never exist near their environment before.

As a result, the Infections ran rampant in the American Indian's community.

Since they did not have a medical knowledge to deal with it, the contagion resulted in a lot of deaths. Massively decreased American Indian's population.

The main consequence was the deconstruction of society. For Putnam, in order to have a fully functioning society, it is necessary to have social interaction. If you don't then you will alienate yourself and if everyone does that then a valid society can't be built and the society could crumble.
