As stated by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), a disaster can be defined as "a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society".

A disaster is a serious disruption to the functioning of a community, which causes human, material, economic and environmental losses beyond a community's ability to cope. Disaster management aims to lessen the impacts of disasters, minimizing losses of life and property.

Why did industrialization lead to problems? explain <br> help me someone please!
Westkost [7]
Industrialization - the United States was primarily a farming country up to the Industrial Revolution. With industrialization came a total switch in the types of jobs people performed. Working in a factory or an office is completely different from working a farm.

Immigration - with all these new factory jobs being created the need for cheap almost expendable labor was required. Industries knew this and encouraged immigration; immigrants knew this and flocked to America to work the factories for a decent wage (at least to them). Native-born Americans didn't like this - immigrants took their jobs, and at lower wages!

Urbanization - in the reverse of farming communities, great cities arose surrounded by factories and offices. The jobs were there, but the pollution spewed by industry and the low wages paid was not much of an improvement over dirt-poor farming.

On the whole, the switch from an agrarian society (farming) to an industrial society (big factories in big cities) played havoc with American life. Hope this helps a lot by By Hugi445:)

The criticism that "the theory fails to fully describe the process by which crime is learned" is most often heard in relation to
WINSTONCH [101]

I believe the answer is: Social learning theory

Social learning views all behaviours that acquired by individuals happen because of the long process of observation and imitation of our surrounding.

When we view crimes with this theory, we can make the hypothesis that crime happens because the criminals are used to see it happen in their living environment. Which is why crime rate usually differ between one cities to another.

Explanation:

When unscrambling sentences, it is important to not force your mind. Just stare at the letters for a few seconds and let your brain get used to them. It will eventually draw an association between the letter you are seeing and a word you know. It is useful to also try changing the places of a couple of letters in your mind, just to see if something comes up. Finally, it's important to know the context. In this case, the instructions mention protecting rainforests and coral reefs. That was helpful to realize, for instance, that TALCOAS was "coastal", since this is not a word we use very often.
