Beliefs About Human Evolution

Public Beliefs About Human Evolution

Controversy over evolution has been a mainstay of American public life throughout much of the 20th century. The Pew Research survey asked about evolution using a set of two questions. Respondents were first asked whether “humans and other living things have evolved over time” or “have existed in their present form since the beginning of time.” Those who say that humans and other living things have evolved are asked a follow-up question about the processes they believe account for evolution.

Processes Guiding Human Evolution

In the most recent survey, 65% of adults say that humans and other living things have evolved, while 31% say humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time. Roughly half of those who say that humans have evolved over time believe that evolution has occurred from natural processes, such as natural selection (35% of all adults), while a somewhat smaller share (24% of all adults) believe a supreme being guided the evolution of humans and other living things. Another 5% of all adults are unsure how evolution occurred.

Among the public as a whole, beliefs about human evolution have been roughly stable since first asked in a 2009 Pew Research survey.37 As we show below, there are a number of differences among subgroups of the population in beliefs about evolution, as has also been the case in past surveys.

An industry has 5 firms, and is found to have violated antitrust laws. The government breaks it up into 10 firms that will share
Andrew [12]

Answer:

2,000 to 1,000

Explanation:

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, HHI, is measured by using the market share of each firm in the industry, then square them, and sum the result.

However, supposing that there were only one firm in an industry, that firm would have 100% market share, and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) would equal 10,000, indicating a monopoly.

Thus, in this case, it was initially 5 firms, with no special market share allocated to each of the firm, hence, it is assumed they shared the market share equally, and that will be 2,000 HHI. This shown by each of the 5 firms having 20% market share

HHI = 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² = 2,000

At the same time, since the government breaks the industry up into 10 firms that will share the market equally. Then, the Herfindahl index will be 1,000. This is shown by HHI = 10² * 10 (since it involves 10 firms with equal share of the market) = 1,000.

Therefore, The Herfindahl index for the industry would change from: 2,000 to 1,000.

In order to gain support for his cause what did governor eugene talmadge argue
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Talmadge argued FDR's New Deal programs were infringing on the rights of the states

Explanation:<em> A staunch Georgian Democrat, he believed in white superiority and the rules of the Jim Crow south. Programs like the WPA and the CCC allowed for black workers and in the South this was unacceptable and refuted their current social structure. Talmadge believed that the states should have the right to choose the workers for the programs implemented in their states. </em>

Answer: The NEGLECT response.

Explanation: The neglect response is a type of conflict response that occurs when an individual by any means possible avoids an issue because they believe that things might get worse with their response.

The neglect response in an organisation's setting involves reducing work efforts, paying less attention to quality, and increasing absenteeism and lateness.
