hello there

Andrea's point is probably the answer you're looking for, however, you should keep in mind that many (most?) environmental laws are driven more by politics than by the available data. Scientists do research on any number of topics (environmental or not) that have implications for our society. We (scientists) like to think that policy makers take our data and results into consideration when drafting legislation, but I would say that in my experience this rarely happens. For one, there have rarely been any federal legislators who understand science. Even the few physicians who've gone into politics seem largely to fail to understand very basic tenets of science, or at least they don't often demonstrate it with their political actions. Leaving environmental issues, for example, if politicians took science into account, there would be no discussion in any school district in the country about whether or not evolution should be taught in schools, as there are simply *NO* scientists who are qualified to have an opinion who would suggest it shouldn't. Environmental issues are not really any different.

Write a paragraph that summarizes your position. In your paragraph, answer this question: Do you think the one-child policy had

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The policy, as expected with any authoritarian and centralized coverages, only brought benefit to the state. The one-child policy created despair in Chinese society, disallowing families to have a choice in the size of their family, and increased the amount of femicide in new-borns. The policy also brought further disadvantages to the society in current days, making the idea of families less predominant, as younger generations have been raised in families without siblings and have little to no developed ideas about the future that may cross their path. The state on the other hand raised further power over the people by controlling a traditionally important aspect of their lives, and created a more fearful and obedient generation.

What is the most significant factor in determining how

irina [24]

Answer:

The longevity of the agricultural product is the most important factor when it comes to the closeness of the agricultural activity to the central market.

Explanation:

When it comes to agricultural activities, it is very important to take into consideration the type of product that is produced and its characteristics, so that the distance from the central market is adequate. This comes from the fact that not all agricultural products have the same reslience or longevity, and also they differ in how good they can bear transportation, changing temperature, etc.

Agricultural products that have short longevity and are not suitable for long-distance transportation should always be as close as possible to the central market as if they are not there will be big losses which doesn't do a favor to anyone. On the other hand, the agricultural products that have long longevity and are easy and not problematic for long-distance transportation can be produced far away from the central market without any problem.
