Have you ever wondered how you would get from point A to point B without a ride? Companies such as Uber and Lyft both want a role in being your chauffeur. Overall, they probably do not care much about how you get to your destination, as long as you use their company to do it. Now both companies have introduced rentable bikes, scooters, and even skateboards for your personal use. This took place on July 2, 2018. Uber, which is valued at roughly 62 billion dollars, is currently leading the race. This event is taking place in over 40 cities across America. This will have a good impact on the environment, since these scooters and bikes are electric and do not require fuel like cars do. As long as Uber and Lyft respect regulations during this battle, nothing should go wrong. Maybe one day you might rent a bike to the mall, and catch a car to get home- all within your phone. This article by CNN was first published July 3, 2018: 3:25 PM ET and you can find it here: <span>http://money.cnn.com/2018/07/03/technology/uber-lyft-bikes-scooters/index.html.

Discuss three (3) typologies of followers.
storchak [24]

Answer:

Isolates

Isolates are completely detached. They don't care about their leaders, know anything about them or respond to them in any obvious way. Their alienation is, nevertheless, of consequence. By default – by knowing nothing and doing nothing – isolates strengthen leaders who already have the upper hand.

Bystanders

Bystanders observe but do not participate. They make a deliberate decision to stand aside, disengaging from their leaders and the group. This withdrawal is, in effect, a declaration of neutrality that amounts to tacit support for the status quo.

Participants

Participants are in some way engaged. They clearly favor or oppose their leaders and the groups and organizations of which they are a part. In either case, they care enough to invest some of what they have (time, for example) to have an impact.

Activists

Activists feel strongly about their leaders, and they act accordingly. They are eager, energetic and engaged. Because they are heavily invested in people and process, they work hard on behalf of their leaders or to undermine and even unseat them.

Diehards

Diehards are prepared to die for their cause, whether that is an individual, an idea or both. Diehards are deeply devoted to their leaders or, in contrast, ready to remove them from positions of power, authority and influence by any means necessary. Diehards are defined by their dedication, including their willingness to risk life and limb. Being a diehard is all-consuming. It is who you are. It determines what you do.

Reasons why Television kills creativity
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Children who spend just 15 minutes or more a day watching their favourite cartoons on television may be at an increased risk of losing their creative minds as compared to those who read books or solve jigsaw puzzles, a study says.

There was clear evidence that children came up with less original ideas immediately after watching television,"said Sarah Rose, Lecturer at Staffordshire University in Britain," although adding "these effects disappeared after a short time."

However, "if children are less creative in their play, this could, over time, negatively impact their development," Rose said.

There is a belief that slow-paced programmes are more educational but our findings do not support this, Sarah said.

In the study, the team looked at the immediate impact of television on three-year-old's creativity. They compared children who watched -- Postman Pat, with those who read books or played jigsaw puzzles.

The children were tested for throwing up maximum original creative ideas.

The study is potentially useful to those who produce children's television shows, early year educators, as well as parents.

The findings were presented at the British Psychological Developmental Conference in Belfast, recently.

Bumek [7]

The balance of power is needed for the congress to check and balance the executive.

<h3>What is the balance of power?</h3>

The Federalist Papers No. 70 (1788) argued that the executive should be very strong so as to take actions needed to protect the nation. This means the executive branch needs power the most.

The legislative power is vested in Congress. The congress is meant to check and balance the executive.
