Your answer is India and China.

<u>Problems faced in India(water and air pollution)</u>

<em>A diverse range of pollution sources co-exists in urban environments. Conventional sources of air pollution include vehicular emissions, coal-based power plants, fossil fuel consumption in industries and some agricultural activities such as fertilizer application and farm fires. Air pollutants can be natural or may be the result of various anthropogenic activities. Examples include production of brick kilns that use raw wood, agricultural waste or poor quality coal used as a fuel, the roadside burning of organic and plastic waste, cooking that involves the burning of solid biomass or cow dung and the unintentional burning of municipal solid waste at landfills, and construction activities (Kumar et al, 2015) (Figure 3). The local emission inventories point to about 5300 and 7550 tons yr−1 of PM10 and PM2.5 release from waste burning in Delhi, respectively, while the corresponding emissions from construction are 3250 and 10,750 tons yr−1 (Guttikunda and Goel, 2013). Other such sources include diesel generators for temporary power generation in cities, traffic congestion, and </em>

<u>Problems faced in China(water and air pollution)</u>

For over a decade in China, China has been the world’s largest annual emitter of greenhouse gases. Regardless of some pro-ecological alternatives and investments in alternative energy sources, the country’s emissions keep growing, contrary to the worldwide trends.

That seems to be the most worrying part. The other main global polluters, for instance, the US, have been successfully pursuing the reduction of greenhouse gas and particulate matter emissions. That’s not the case with China, which continues to fulfill its growing demand for energy with fossil fuels.

Which progression best represents the historical order in which these psychological perspectives were developed?
choli [55]

structuralism, behaviorism, and humanism.

Psychology changed dramatically during the first 20th-century as another school of thought called behaviorism rose to dominance. Behaviorism was a significant change from previous theoretical perspectives, rejecting the stress on both the conscious and brain.

Computers process information through complex circuits, which showed that psychologists could study mental states scientifically because of the flow of data through the mind. Biological psychology as a subject field emerged from a range of scientific and philosophical traditions within the 18th and 19th centuries.

Within the Principles of Psychology (1890), psychologists argued that the scientific study of psychology should be grounded in an understanding of biology.

However, the emergence of psychology as a particular discipline is traced back to 1882 when Wilhelm  (a German physiologist) published a book entitled The Mind of the kid . Within the book describes the event of his own daughter from birth to 2 and a half years.
