Answer: The crash of the stock market in 1929.

Context/details:

There was much speculative buying on the stock market in "the Roaring '20s," as the decade was known. In the 1920s, people were so eager to invest and earn profits through the stock market that they bought stocks "on margin." In other words, they paid for only a marginal percentage of the stocks with their own funds, and borrowed bank funds for the rest of the purchase. That meant the banks were complicit in this arrangement too, by allowing those sorts of loans. By the late 1920s, 90% of the purchase price of stocks was being made with borrowed money. This inflated the market in a way that spiraled out of control, and in 1929 the market crashed. This was the event that initiated the Great Depression that took hold during the 1930s.

Why might some people prefer to an assisted su*c*de over palliative care in a hospice?

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

I feel like some people would choose this as an option because of some sort of health condition that brings them pain, or something there is not cure for. Or, the obvious reason of not being happy. It would also mean they would be going peacefully when they want to. Not waiting for it to happen.

Thus, consciousness is not associated with any particular area of the brain.

Therefore, Pierre believes in the Global workspace model of consciousness.
