Answer:

The rise of air pollution in Chinese cities is a direct result of the increased economic activity (and very fast economic growth) that globalization has generated.

Explanation:

This is because China, since the 1980s and 1990s, has become a "workshop" for the world: and industrial powerhouse that produces all kinds of manufacturing products for both the Chinese market, and the world market. In fact, China has benefited from the outsourcing of hundreds of thousands of American and European jobs, mainly due to the lower Chinese labor costs.

This increased economic activity, and the consequent higher rise in energy demand, has resulted in serious problems of air pollution in several Chinese cities. For example Beijing, the capital, often has emergency air pollution levels in winter, due to the higher energy demand caused by the use of heating that is mainly powered by coal energy plants.

Which of the following represents a difference between Hinduism and Buddhism?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

A. The belief that social roles are determined by birth.

Explanation:

The two religious beliefs of Hinduism and Buddhism are two of the most prominent and important religions originating from India. These two religions also have similarities in their belief systems but also some differences.

While the two are similar in their belief in nonviolence, karma, dharma, and reincarnation, their difference lies in the belief of caste or social roles. Hindus believe in the caste system, where a person's social status is determined by birth. This means that a person who is poor will remain poor and his/ her children will also be poor. This belief in the determination of social roles from one's birth is not supported by Buddhism, rather, they believe that one's social roles have nothing to do with one's birth. For Buddhists, one's evil deeds are judged based on the severity of the sin, not based on one's status.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

slega [8]

Immigrants were Americanized under the neutralization act which offered the immigrants to accept the American values beliefs and customs by assimilating into American society.

It was challenging for the immigrants but they were able keep a balance by some immigrants  taking a top stage in entertainment industry. People were able to express their life and struggle in through music, literature and poetry.

Some immigrants felt themselves to be inspired to settle in such  a great country like United States. America had seen many immigrants who were culturally and ethnically diversified to come up as a huge cultural icon. Many European immigrants became music composers and found America to be Eurocentric  too. This was an added advantage.

This is how they were able to maintain the elements of their cultural and traditional identities.
