Answer:

Government programs created during the Great Society contributed to the rising national debt in the late-20th and early-21st centuries.

Explanation:

The Great Society was a program and set of domestic policy measures of the United States in the 1960s, proposed and put in place by President Lyndon B. Johnson as a continuation of the New Frontier of John F. Kennedy.

The main decisions taken were to provide social assistance for people over 65 (with the creation of Medicare), as well as for the poor (with the creation of Medicaid);  to promote education; and to fight against inequalities, especially against racism, and to promote a more just world; in particular, the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, giving black people rights they did not have before.

In spite of all these advances, the programs of the Great Society also implied certain inconveniences: they represented expenses that did not exist before, reason why they increased the public debt of the federal government to levels never seen before. Especially, Medicaid and Medicare represent large expenditures by the government, which considerably tilt the balance of public spending in the United States.

In the context of the psychology of emotion, William James and John Dewey would be most interested in:
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The correct answer is: William James and John Dewey would be most interested in how behavior aids one´s adaptation to the environment.

Both <em>William James </em>and <em>John Dewey</em>, are phycologists associated with what is known as <em>Functionalism</em>. This method is heavily influenced by Darwin's ideas about adaptation to the environment. Over time we have been able to observe significant changes in the physical and behavioral aspects of human beings. These changes in behavior and in life style show us the capacity of adaptation of humans. Humans frequently adapt to the place they live in, this means that their body parts, the functions these body parts perform, as well as their behavior give human more survival and reproductive possibilities. If Darwin was correct, there is variation or differences in adaptation resulting in natural selection.

Behavior can change, also, due to psychological states such as beliefs or values. Universal structures in behavior are adjusted by experience and culture. The biological characteristics of men have changed from the ones of primitive men, which dedicated their life to hunting and fishing. Now days we have other priorities and we behave according to them, or to satisfy them.
