<span>Dr. Barbara Joans was an anthropologist who understood that language and cultural differences can completely change the understanding between two groups of people. The six elderly Native American Bannock and Shoshoni women who were charged with fraud and asked to pay back $2,000, did not fully comprehend what the Social Services Administration in their area was asking of them. English was not their first language and the way that their culture worked was different than the one of the Social Services. Dr. Joans was able to point out that they were not trying to defraud the Social Services, but did not understand. The judge agreed with Dr. Jones and from then on an interpreter had to be present to explain in the individuals first language what was expected.</span>

Answer:

that the co-worker stops breathing

Explanation:

The greatest concern at this point in the situation would be that the co-worker stops breathing. Asthma attacks tend to shrink or close the air canals in your throat thus making it very difficult to breathe. If the individual suffering from this begins to panic and hyperventilate, then they can lose consciousness and stop breathing. If this were to happen the loss of oxygen to the brain for a period of time can cause serious brain damage or even death if not treated immediately.

Dafna11 [192]

The correct answer is B. Establish core values

Explanation:

In Ancient Greece, literature including short stories and poems were mainly used as a way to establish culturally important core values. For example, in the famous epic poem "Odysseus" the behaviors of the main character show the importance of honor, perseverance, loyalty, among others because the main character has to face multiple obstacles to go back to his family.

These values are not exclusive from the Odyssey but part of the main literary pieces of this context and time. In this way, Greek writers focused on showing values and behaviors that were important in the Ancient Greek culture through especially through gods, demigods or heroes, and these positive values were transmitted through generations. Thus, Ancient Greek stories served to establish core values.
