Answer:
C. A powerful, addictive narcotic drug
Explanation:
OPIUM is an opioid or narcotic, made from the white liquid in the poppy plant. Opium is dried latex obtained from the seed capsules of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum. Approximately 12 percent of opium is made up of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other synthetic opioids for medicinal use and for illegal drug trade.
Regular use can lead to drug tolerance or physical dependence. Chronic opium addicts in 1906 China or modern-day Iran consume an average of eight grams of opium daily.
Both analgesia and drug addiction are functions of the MU opioid receptor, the class of opioid receptor first identified as responsive to morphine.
Answer:
If the Cold War between the two superpowers, America and the Soviet Union, never ended the world would most likely be seeing either a terrible nuclear war or extreme tensions between these two nations. The end of the cold war was considered to be at the signing of the SALT between the U.S and the Soviet Union, there would have never been an agreement to calm down the nuclear tests that eventually settled the threat of nuclear warfare. Because we are much more advanced in nuclear technologies than we were at these times, we would be in serious trouble of ending the world by nuclear warfare. Not only would there be the threat of nuclear warfare but, there would be serious tensions between other third world countries and the two superpowers. Many wars would have been fought for the liberation of these countries from communism and the restoration or application of Democracy. (America fighting for Democracy and The Soviet Union fighting for Communism.)
President Barack Obama said that sometimes there are movements of both left and right that try to seek disintegration, oppose technology and recover jobs that have been disappearing for decades. Therefore, an impulse to want to "pull back" from globalization could be understandable.
