• The American people were strongly independent. They wanted to do things for themselves. Great Britain was a long way away. The American people didn't want people an ocean away telling them how to live their lives.

• The British government decided to make the American colonies pay a large share of the war debt from the French and Indian War.

• Through the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and other taxes, the British tried to collect taxes that the American people considered harsh.

• The American people also thought that they should be able to send their own people to Britain's Parliament or at least vote for Britain's lawmakers.

• The combination of the harsh taxes and the lack of an American voice in Parliament gave rise to the famous phrase "taxation without representation."

• Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and others called for an independent America, colonies free from British rule and interference.

• Americans started stockpiling guns and ammunition in violation of British laws. Their defense of such a stockpile led to the shots fired at Lexington and Concord and the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

Answer:

c. gender roles

Explanation:

In psychology, the term gender roles refer to the values and behaviors that society things are appropriate for men and women. In other words, it refers to how we expect men and women to act, dress, speak, etc.

This gender roles usually have a big impact in our lives since we are exposed to them since when we are little kids and they will have an impact in how we speak, dress and even choose a career (for example, there's an stereotype by which "women are not good in exact sciences such as math and physics).

Therefore, gender roles have enormous consequences for the behavior of most people and influence a wide range of human activities, including how we speak, dress, walk, engage in courtship, and choose a career.

Compare the current approaches that the Chinese, Indian, and Kenyan governments are taking to limit population growth.

Snezhnost [94]

The Chinese have had restrictions in the amount of children that a family can have, for few decades it was one child, now it is two. Even thought the limit is increased to two children per family, it is a number that will allow the nation to keep it's population on a status quo level.

India, has it worst, the government has not been able to make a solid plan that can be implemented, the wast majority of the population is uneducated, and there's still the pride in having more children, so the population is still growing very fast.

The Kenyan government made a long term development plan, which as a main goal has to achieve a high quality life for all Kenyans that is sustainable with available resources. Also contraceptive coverage, and educating the population with videos, presentations, talks.
