Mass-production printing techniques, such as high-speed presses and printing on both sides of the paper at once, speeded up production and lowered the price of printed materials. This spawned thousands of new and inexpensive books, magazines, and newspapers, including penny newspapers and dime novels. Lower newspaper prices brought expanded circulation, so millions of people now read the same news stories. More efficient printing techniques also increased the amount of advertising people were exposed to as companies used newspapers and magazines to promote their products. Shopping patterns were also affected; people began to shop long-distance form catalogs, such as those printed by Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward. Motion pictures, the roll-film camera, and airplanes also improved the transmission of information. Students who feel the trend toward a mass culture is positive could say that advertising made people aware of many products that could improve their lives and that mass-circulation newspapers made people better informed. Those who disagree might say that mass advertising fosters an emphasis on material values and a more inform rather than varied culture.

Briefly describe the brain changes that occur in adolescence.
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Changes in this part continue into early adulthood. Because the prefrontal cortex is still developing, teenagers might rely on a part of the brain called the amygdala to make decisions and solve problems more than adults do. The amygdala is associated with emotions, impulses, aggression and instinctive behaviour.

Answer:

Convinced that Austria-Hungary was readying for war, the Serbian government ordered the Serbian army to mobilize and appealed to Russia for assistance. On July 28, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and the tenuous peace between Europe’s great powers quickly collapsed.  

Within a week, Russia, Belgium, France, Great Britain and Serbia had lined up against Austria-Hungary and Germany, and World War I had begun.

World War I brought about massive social upheaval, as millions of women entered the workforce to replace men who went to war and those who never came back. The first global war also helped to spread one of the world’s deadliest global pandemics, the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, which killed an estimated 20 to 50 million people.

World War I has also been referred to as “the first modern war.” Many of the technologies now associated with military conflict—machine guns, tanks, aerial combat and radio communications—were introduced on a massive scale during World War I.

The severe effects that chemical weapons such as mustard gas and phosgene had on soldiers and civilians during World War I galvanized public and military attitudes against their continued use. The Geneva Convention agreements, signed in 1925, restricted the use of chemical and biological agents in warfare and remains in effect today.
