For what purposes do animals use the following?

bija089 [108]

I) webbed Feet are useful for pushing animals quickly through water, especially for animals who swim often but still maintain legs / limbs that aren’t fish… more effective than other feet or limbs but still more mobile in other terrains unlike fish
ii) Sharp claws are often used either to hunt and kill or disable prey, or as self defense; sometimes both. Predators use them to capture prey within their grasp and sometimes kill prey. Prey animals will use them as defense.
iii) strong eyesight is useful for animals which require food sources that are camouflaged: eyesight is also useful for animals who rely on body-language as communication with one another, as well as animals like humans who interpret things like sign language. Strong eyesight during different times of day are useful for animals depending on what time they are awake and actively searching for food. Eyesight can also help animals avoid different dangerous situations, such as spotting predators from afar, etc.
iv) gills are used to allow animals to breathe underwater. This is useful for creatures who live beneath the water, hunt underwater / have food sources mainly underwater, or who otherwise spend long times hiding under the ocean or even living in secure places in water.
v) wings allow animals to glide or take flight; they’re initially useful for allowing animals a useful mode of transportation for escaping from predators, building / living in more secure places where other animals cannot go, hunting (such as hawks hunting mice from the air), and more. It also allows for easy and powerfully reliant migration.

You traveled to a very distant place during which you were involved in in an accident which almost tock your life.not less than

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

So it was the summer of 2015, I had just graduated from high school.

What a relief!

Finally, I was going to execute my vendetta. My life very triangular life (of school, work, home and occasional hangouts) was boring me to death. Okay....let's just say rectangular. Thank God I made it! I made it to graduation and with good grades too. So I had nursed this revenge mission for a long time. An act of revenge against my boring life.

Make no mistake about it. New York City is a very pleasant place to be. It has at least 20 parks. Many Holly Wood moves have been shot in NYC. There are countless recreational centres. But I was bored all the same. If it was NYC, I had almost seen it all. The one thing that ate away at me was that I had never travelled outside NYC.

So at this time of my early teenage life crises, (I was nineteen) I had this road trip all planned out and my parents didn't object to my mission.

Of course, I had plans of going to college. I had written to quite a few but didn't have any particular preference yet. I felt this road trip was going to help me clear my mind.

First time alone from my parent for 2 months? I was definitely going to get my head clear.

The plan? Drive with a friend or two to California. Make major stops along the way so we could work for some cash for food, gas, beer (oh yeah beer! that's on a class of its own) and extra bucks if possible.

So my parents helped with details. What to pack and what not to. They even sponsored it partially. Partially coz I had saved for it and even though I had enough according to my budget and forecast, they generously gave me an additional $1000 for exigencies. "You never know when extra cash may come in handy", said mum. In addition, they helped me rent a good caravan and let me use the Ford Pickup.

According to my travel advisory, California was 3000 miles (that's approximately 4,828 kilometres).

If we drove for 4-6 hours every day, we'd get there in about 11 days.

On July 31st, I and three friends set out to California.

We had barely driven 30 miles when the accident happened. Suddenly we noticed that the Ford became lighter. We all looked at each other as my friend Dave with the instinct of spider man slowed down and made a U-turn all the time checking the Caravan which was still coasting towards us from the kinetic energy of the truck. That way he'd be able to easily steer us clear of being hit from behind by the Caravan.

We meandered left and right trying to avoid the Caravan. And when we did he brought the car to a stop.

We jumped down and ran after the Caravan like we were going to stop it with our bare hands, all the time terrified at what might happen if it collided with oncoming traffic.

3 minutes later we were all sitting by the roadside. Sweating and heaving from pursing the Caravan which somehow managed to park itself off the road.

So we had taken care of every little detail except ensuring that the Caravan was properly hooked to the Ford.

Did Dave do the right thing by driving toward the Caravan? What would have happened if we died?

I was only nineteen and I was just 30 miles into my Vendetta.

A summary of the new Jim Crow book version

enot [183]

Alexander details the history of “racialized social control” (20). From slavery to Jim Crow to mass incarceration, she identifies a persistent pattern by which systems of racial subjugation are built, maintained, dismantled, and finally transformed to fit the circumstances of a given era. In the case of mass incarceration, politicians like Ronald Reagan built the system to fit into a new post-Civil Rights Movement paradigm that prohibited politicians from making overtly racist appeals to American voters. In this new era of supposed colorblindness, Reagan—and later George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton—utilized “law and order” (50) rhetoric that implicitly demonized Black men as predators. In the middle of Reagan’s presidency, crack cocaine swept through urban communities of color, giving “tough on crime” advocates the perfect pretext to launch an aggressive drug enforcement campaign against Black American males.

Alexander explains exactly how the new racial caste system works, beginning with its point of entry: the police. Empowered by Supreme Court decisions that effectively gutted the Fourth Amendment, police officers may stop and search individuals under the faintest pretexts of probable cause. Yet just because police departments can target millions of Americans suspected of possessing small amounts of drugs, the question remains of why they choose to divert time and resources away from addressing more serious crimes like murders and rapes. Alexander points to huge financial incentives offered by the federal government to encourage widespread enforcement of minor drug infractions. Massive federal cash grants and changes to civil asset forfeiture laws have made participation in the drug war extraordinarily lucrative for state and local police departments.

In the following chapter Alexander explores why, in many states, Black Americans make up as much as 80% to 90% of individuals who serve time in prison on drug charges, even though the system is formally colorblind and whites use and sell drugs at similar rates. Unlike in the case of robberies or assaults, where clear victims exist, those involved with drug transactions are unlikely to report them to the police because doing so would implicate themselves in a crime. As a result, police must be proactive in addressing drug crime and are therefore afforded an enormous amount of discretion concerning whom to target. As for why police departments choose to disproportionately target people of color, Alexander blames both implicit biases and pervasive media and political campaigns that frame Black men as criminals in the American imagination. Prosecutors are also granted an outsized amount of discretion thanks to the introduction of mandatory minimum sentences for drug criminals. With such harsh sentences hanging over the heads of those charged with drug crimes, prosecutors are better empowered to extract plea deals. While these plea deals may keep an individual out of jail, they also frequently result in a felony record, saddling that person for life with what Alexander calls “the prison label” (189). The consequences of this prison label are the focus of Chapter 4. When an individual leaves prison or accepts a felony plea deal, they face legal discrimination in employment, housing, welfare benefits, and often voting rights. It is here that Alexander observes the strongest similarities between mass incarceration and the Jim Crow era, given that Black Americans faced these same forms of discrimination during the first half of the 20th century in the South. She also addresses the stigma felt by everyone touched by the criminal justice system, which includes the formerly incarcerated, their families, and any individual who can expect daily harassment from police officers. The following chapter outlines the specific similarities and differences between Jim Crow and mass incarceration. Aside from the legal discrimination in both systems, Jim Crow and mass incarceration have similar political roots. Both systems gained political support from elites who sought to exploit the economic and cultural fears of poor and working-class whites. Both operate by defining what it means to be Black in America in the cultural imagination—in the case of mass incarceration, that means defining Black men as criminals. Perhaps the most significant and frightening difference is that while both slavery and Jim Crow were systems of labor exploitation, mass incarceration involves marginalization and removal from society. Alexander points out that similar racially based marginalization efforts were precursors to genocides in the 20th century.
