Social Studies

juin [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The OPEC member countries control a large percentage of the world's oil production which gives them a lot of power to affect world oil prices.

Explanation:

OPEC with a total number of 14 members at present produces about 40 percent of the world's crude oil. Therefore, OPEC actions do affect international oil prices because of the size of the market share the collective controls. However, there are also oil sources beyond the OPEC states. For example, Brent Crude refers to oil that is produced in the Brent oil fields and other sites in the North Sea.  WTI is the benchmark crude for North America. WTI is better suited to the production of gasoline while Brent oil favors diesel fuel production.  Because together OPEC holds three-quarters of the world's conventional oil reserves and has the world's lowest barrel production costs, it can influence world oil prices and supply by deciding to either produce more or less barrels. If OPEC lowers production the price of oil increases because Brent and WTI have to make up the difference, and their production prices are higher. However, OPEC's ability to affect prices is changing with Canada, China, Russia and the United States increasing their own output in recent years.

Plato develops the traditional view of knowledge in one particular book of his. What is the title of that specific book by Plato
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The Theatetus

Explanation:

In this text, Plato examines the question

 "What is knowledge?"

The book portrays a dialoge between Socrates, his life long companion and Theatetus, a young student.

They discuss : knowledge as perception; knowledge as true belief; knowledge as true belief plus an account true judgment with appropiate articulation.

There is a philosophical exploration to conclude however what knowledge is not.  

The value of this text, since we are better offered what knowledge is not

and leaves us ready to engage into the Sophist, his next dialog with Socrates.

Again the text is the foundation for platonic Epistemology, the nature of knowledge and is the main text where the ideas of Plato are to be found discussing the pre existing notions that were at his time seen as valid sources of knowledge.
