The area of social stratification has been the starting point of many arguments about how and why societies are divided. Some societies will shout that they are classless whilst others will construct a whole culture around the divisions within. Individuals will vehemently point out that they are from one class when others have said differently. Some groups within society will inform other groups that they are in an especially disadvantaged position because of all the other groups advantaged position

Discovery Guides Why Not the Sun? Advantages of and Problems with Solar Energy by Ethan Goffman I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. – Thomas Alva Edison‚ 1931 The oil embargo of the 1970s prompted a national surge of interest in solar energy. A solar water heater was installed in the White House‚ and photovoltaic panels first came into play‚ notably in California. While previously

Compare and Contrast Functionalist and Marxist Theories of Stratification Stratification is the separation of society into layers which are distinguished by unequal rewards and life chances and many systems of stratification have been based on slavery‚ caste and feudalism. Slavery‚ being the oldest and most extreme form of stratification‚ involves the enslavement or ownership of others. This ownership came about as a result of conquest‚ trade‚ kidnapping‚ hereditary status or the repayment of

is affected by thermal energy? My answer to that question is when thermal energy is added to the substance‚ the particles have increased on energy and move around more‚ but when thermal energy is decreased‚ particles are closer together‚ so they don’t move as much because they are low in energy as well as space. Temperature: The question being asked to answer is if temperature is affected by thermal energy. My answer to that question is its affected because when you add thermal energy the temperature

Essentially they can convert sunlight directly into electricity and are usually used by a large amount of panels that absorb sunlight even on cloudy or rainy days. 3)What are solar thermal electric generation‚ and what is considered their backup? Solar thermal electric generation is a means of producing electricity in which the sun’s energy is concentrated using mirrors or lenses onto a fluid-filled pipe; the heated fluid is used to generate electricity.
