The correct answer is B) Silent Spring .

This includes the detrimental effects these chemicals have on the environment and the negative health effects they can have on humans. For example, DDT was a substance discussed often by Carson. DDT was found to have links to the development of cancer.

Carson argued that chemical companies tried to hide/misinform the public about chemicals and what damage they can cause.

How did the advent of farming affect life amongNeolithic peoples
torisob [31]
 T<span>he neolithic revolution began when people discovered agriculture. Because of agriculture people could now farm instead of hunting and gathering. This allowed people to settle down and live in one place. This led to settlements and the development of group living. Since people after the neolithic rev began living in tighter more complex social situations this also led to better and more complicated forms of communication. The neolithic rev also eventually led to the development of governments because now that people were living in settlements they started dividing the work. They needed people to hunt, farm, cook, and do other things, and since not everyone could do the same thing they needed organization to decide who would do what. This led to higher forms of organization and ultimately to forms of government. Also with the discovery of agriculture people began to have food surpluses, this led to population growth and trade. It led to trade becasue people would now trade the extra food that they grew. Lastly the neolithic rev led to the switch from a matriarchal system to a more patriarchal system. In hunting and gathering times women were though higher of then men because they hunted and gathered just like the men did, and on top of that they also gave birth or created life. After the neolithic revolution there was no longer a need for the women to hunt and gather. A family could live off of the males work in the farm, because they then only needed one person to feed the family women fell into more homemaker roles and began to lose importance. Oh, and agriculture also led to recreational activity because less time was needed to get the necessary amount of food, so families had free time, and they needed stuff to do.

Great leaders need to have a vision for the future and they must have a plan to carry out that dream.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The answer is <u>TRUE</u>

Explanation:

Leadership skills and abilities have been studied extensively for more than five decades. Over the course of the research it is apparent that leaders have a dreamy vision for what they want to see.

However, the difference between a leader and a lay person is that a leader actually understands what they need to do to make that dream become a reality.

Dreams without plans end nowhere but it takes real courage, passion, hard work, dedication and a lot of time to make things work.

This applies to business leaders as well as political leaders. For example, Martin Luther King had a dream of building a society without racism and he worked for it through non-violent protest.

Bill Gates had a dream of putting a personal computer in every person's home and it became true as his operating system became the world standard in computing.
