For most of the American history, the isolationist tendency prevailed in its foreign policy. In its early years, American foreign policy was in fact a reflection of the American national interest, namely to fortify the new nation’s independence. With the European continent torn apart by the great powers’ rivalry, the American nation could develop at its own pace, without any major external threat. Therefore the nonalignment practice, the isolationism, the constant effort to remain free of entanglements overseas became characteristic features of the early American foreign policy (Kissinger, 10-12). The step forward in strengthening this view was made in 1823, when the Monroe Doctrine was proclaimed, a political decision basically stating that further European action on the American continent will be interpreted as an intervention and a threat for the new nation’s stability. Surprisingly accepted without much of a revolt by the European powers, the new doctrine defended America and assured an uninterrupted pursue of its goal: growing internally and turning itself into a Great Power, with the formidable advantage of not being threatened by state rivalry
<em>Credentialism</em> is a process in which the demand for formal qualifications in individuals grows. As a result, the benefit of differentiation that a person can get as a product of obtaining certain qualification is reduced.
In a credential society, individuals with the highest level (and number) of qualifications will have the greatest chance to obtain the best benefits that this society offers.
People with a low socioeconomic status are highly vulnerable under this structure due to the fact that they are unable to have access to good quality education, if any education at all, due to the cost it represents. On the other hand, people with a high socioeconomic status will have greater access to this benefit due to their greater purchasing power.
For example, a highly skilled teenager whose family is living on welfare wants to become a doctor. This is an expensive career he cannot pay. Therefore, he will have to make his best efforts to apply to a scholarship and beat other candidates in order to get it and be able to study medicine. he might already be in an unfavorable position in comparison to other candidates if his school education was not of good quality.
With the concept of zero, we could express math (and by extension, everything) with just one concept: of there being something. This was contrasted with there not being something.
This presence/absence of something is very easily implementable in mechanical terms, which contributed to the development of hardware. So: the concept of 0 made our calculations easily physically implementable.
Answer:
In case a vehicle equipped with intelligent all wheel drive begins to lose traction, the system can direct the excessive power of the engine towards the wheels to help the driver gain back control over the vehicle.
Explanation:
- The all wheel drive technology found in the modern automobile is capable of powering all the for wheels with the power dispensed by the engine.
- This technology offers better grip and traction on inclined slopes as all the four wheels receive the power required to keep the balance of the vehicle, directly from the engine.
