Culture combines many elements to create a unique way of living for different people. In this lesson, we identify four of the elements that exist in every culture, albeit in different forms: symbols, language, values, and norms. We also differentiate between folkways and mores.
The Nigerian Civil War has in one way or another give Jonathan a relieved and positive thought. He felt grateful and blessed that his family was alive and unharmed and that they have the capacity to access the basic everyday necessities.
The Aswan High Dam was built to regulate and control the annual flooding of the Nile River in order to protect crops and property from such uncontrolled flooding and to generate electricity. Most of its effects have been positive but several environmental effects are:
- Water-logging: because of the continuous high levels of water, the soil around the area is saturated with water, which prevents oxygenation of the soil that is essential to several plants and crops.
- Salinization of soils: caused by the inability of water-saturated soils to absorb salt, it is toxic to crops and damaging to infrastructures.
- Soil Erosion: it is a consequence of soil salinization as crops die and are unable to hold the soil in place.
There were also other negative effects such as:
- Archeology: two important archeological sites of Ancient Egypt were flooded and covered by the dam waters: the ancient cemetery of Fadrus and the Buhen fort.
- Loss of sediment: the annual flooding carried an enormous amount of sediment that is now trapped within the resulting Lake Nasser. Many of these sediments were used by local industries to manufacture bricks and they lost access to this renewable source of raw materials.
- More expensive and difficult purification of water: because the water does not move as much it is more transparent and allows the sunlight to penetrate deeper. This, combined with the trapped sediments has increased the growth of algae that have proliferated to the point that water purification is more and more expensive due to the necessary removal of this plant.

The correct answer is:
Answers will vary. Most students might note that it was necessary for Jefferson to prove
that the Continental Congress presented a united front to the world in order to prove that
independence was the true goal of the colonies. Others may state that since each state
provided signers to the document, it was obvious that all thirteen colonies accepted it.
As to the question of whether the 13 colonies could have declared independence if they
weren’t unanimous, answers will vary. Most students might state that independence
would be difficult without the support of all thirteen colonies, but some might say
independence without consensus was still possible. For instance, colonies that objected
could be absorbed into Canada or find a way to peacefully co-exist with those that
seceded.
