8 0

The River Ganges is also known as the River Ganga which serves as the holiest river in any religion. It’s deemed to be a “holy river” because it is considered as an important deity in the practice of Hinduism. It is respectfully referred to as “Ganga Maiya” (Mother Ganga) by its worshippers.

Hindus believe the myths that surround the river and sanctify it as a goddess. They viewed the goddess Ganga as a beautiful woman wearing a white crown with a water lily and water pot in her hands, and saw her as riding on her pet crocodile. Hindus generally believed that all prayers offered to the river would multiply because of the holiness of the “Ganga Maiya.”

How does a Free Market System and Centrally Planned System impact consumers and producers differently?

Lapatulllka [165]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

A Free Market System and Centrally Planned System impact consumers and producers differently in that in the Free Market System, it is the supply and demand, the factors that decide the price of goods and services. On the other hand, in a Centrally Planned system, it is the intervention of the state -the government- which decides the price of the goods and services in a fixed way.

In total opposition to a free-market economy where individuals promote capitalist ideas to invest money and create companies to be rich, in a central system or command economy is the state the one that owns the means of production. The central government decides the kind of products to be produced, the price of the products, how to produce the goods, and the amount that is going to be produced.

Flura [38]

Well, one example would be a hare. In winter, they change by growing a big, fur coat to keep them warm.

Another great example would be ducks and/or chickens. When winter is approaching, they shed their old feathers (also known as "molting") and grow a new, thicker layer of feathers to keep warm. I know this from experience, because I have 2 ducks and some chickens of my own. =)
Hope this helps! ^_^
