Option A
Modernism was a philosophical movement that, along with cultural trends and changes that arose from wide-scale and far reaching transformations in western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Modernism, in common, incorporates the actions and inventions of those who believed the traditional styles of art, design, theme, spiritual faith, philosophy, social structure, movements of daily life, and despite the sciences, were growing ill-fitted to their duties and outdated in the new financial, cultural, and political situation of an emerging entirely industrialized world.
A distinguishing feature of modernism is self-consciousness and ambiguity concerning arcane and social traditions, which frequently pointed to practices with form, on with the practice of procedures that brought recognition to the methods and materials utilized in producing a painting, poem, building, etc.
C as it has a better view on the situation
Answer:
Twelve years ago, Barack Obama introduced himself to the American public by way of a speech given at the Democratic National Convention, in Boston, in which he declared, “There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America, an Asian America; there’s the United States of America.” Few of us believed this to be true, but most, if not all of us, longed for it to be. We vested this brash optimist with our hope, a resource that was in scarce supply three years after the September 11th terrorist attacks in a country mired in disastrous military conflicts in two nations. The vision he offered—of national reconciliation beyond partisan bounds, of government rooted in respect for the governed and the Constitution itself, of idealism that could actually be realized—became the basis for his Presidential campaign. Twice the United States elected to the Presidency a biracial black man whose ancestry and upbringing stretched to three continents.
At various points that idealism has been severely tested. During his Presidency, we witnessed a partisan divide widen into an impassable trench, and gun violence go unchecked while special interests blocked any regulation. The President was forced to show his birth certificate, which we recognized as the racial profiling of the most powerful man in the world. Obama did not, at least publicly, waver in his contention that Americans were bound together by something greater than what divided them. In July, when he spoke in Dallas after a gunman murdered five police officers, he seemed pained by the weight of this faith, as if stress fractures had appeared in a load-bearing wall.
It is difficult not to see the result of this year’s Presidential election as a refutation of Obama’s creed of common Americanism. And on Wednesday, for the first time in the twelve years that we’ve been watching him, Obama did not seem to believe the words he was speaking to the American public. In the White House Rose Garden, Obama offered his version of a concession speech—an acknowledgement of Donald Trump’s victory. The President attempted gamely to cast Trump’s victory as part of the normal ebb and flow of political fortunes, and as an example of the great American tradition of the peaceful transfer of power. (This was not, it should be recalled, the peaceful transfer of power that most observers were worried about.) He intended, he said, to offer the same courtesy toward Trump that President George W. Bush had offered him, in 2008. Yet that reference only served to highlight the paradox of Obama's Presidency: he now exists in history bracketed by the overmatched forty-third President and the misogynistic racial demagogue who will succeed him as the forty-fifth. During his 2008 campaign, Obama frequently found himself—and without much objection on his part—compared to Abraham Lincoln. He may now share an ambivalent common bond with Lincoln, whose Presidency was bookended by James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson, two lesser lights of American history.

Answer:
Both immediate and longer term industry responses to the security failures related to transportation showed
that various security holes existed between businesses in transportation chains from all modes and that many
transportation businesses were unaware of how other links in their chain handled safety issues, or if they did at all.
The regulation concerns areas that present safety concerns and may cause loss of life.
The inability of players in transportation chains to identify who was handling safety issues and how they were handling them
highlights a need for clarification of duties and roles within the industry.
The
investigation of the 9/11 events have further highlighted widespread and serious security flaws in the transportation
industry, such as the lack of regulation of flight schools and the use of water transportation to ship potentially lethal
items such as explosives. Unfortunately, the various security precautions that have placed a financial burden on
transportation companies change frequently and are often ineffective.
