Answer: Babylonians came after Akkadians and Sumerians so it is important to bear this in mind because many of their skills were inherited from previous cultures and some of these skills can be viewed as an extension of Sumerian and Akkadian culture/civilization (Sumerian language continued being language of liturgy, some old Sumerian religious cults were still there, Sumerian mythology was still present, astronomy and mathematics and cuneiform characters were inherited). Day divided in 24 hours is a Babylonian invention, circle divided in 360 degrees is also Babylonian invention, capacity to predict lunar eclipse and discovery of lunation (and their symbolic interpretation) is a Babylonian invention. Big part of all that was acquired/inherited by old Greek thinkers (Thales for example).
Explanation: There is no doubt that astronomy/astrology is of Sumerian/Babylonian origin and this knowledge was spread in Middle East and later it came to Greece. Egyptian and Greek (and later western) astrology was influenced by Babylonian astrology. Many predictive techniques and divinations we can found among Egyptians and Greek were of Babylonian origin (study of planetary secondary progressions, eclipses etc.).
Answer:
a) Malthus ignored other factors like technological change.
Explanation:
Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) was an English cleric and a scholar, most known for his demographics theory. He is an author of <em>An Essay on the Principle of Population</em>, where he observed that increasing production of food resulted in improved well-being of the population, but this was temporary because it led to a population growth. Larger population led to the restoration of original production per capita.
He was mainly wrong because he did not account for improvement in technology of production. Development and widespread use of technology meant that it is not needed to use the same amount of energy to produce goods. Production increased much faster than the increase of population, which resulted in a failure of his theory.

Explanation:
Answer:
the guards became more aggressive.
Explanation:
Psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues conducted an experiment to figure out if the violence documented by guards in American prisons was due to their sadistic nature or had something to do with the prison environment. Although prisoners and guards were permitted to communicate in any way they chose, the encounters were violent and therefore some volunteers have to be released soon. The guards started to act in ways that were violent and hostile towards the prisoners, whilst the prisoners became passive and discouraged.
