George Washington Plunkett, member of Tammany Hall Political Machine, 1905
"Everybody is talking these days about Tammany men growing rich on graft, but nobody thinks of drawing the distinctions between honest graft and dishonest graft. There is all the difference in the world between the two. Yes, many of our men have grown rich in politics. I have myself. I have made a fortune out of the game... but I have not gone in for dishonest graft; blackmailing gamblers, saloon keepers, etc... Just let me explain by example. My part is in power in the city and I get a tip that they are going to lay out a new park at a certain place... well, I go to that place and buy up all the land I
can get in that neighborhood. Then the board makes its plan public and there is a rush to get my land. Aint it perfectly honest to charge a good price and makes a profit on my investment and
foresight? Of course it is. Well, that is honest graft."
Complete the following two tasks:
(A) Explain how Plunkett's "honest graft" is destructive to society; give historical examples.
(B) What are two ways progressives fought this brand of corruption and explain if these approaches
worked or failed.
Answers
Explanation:
DONT CLICK ON THE LINK IT IS A VIRUS REPORT IT INSTEAD
Plunkett's "honest graft" is destructive to society in several ways. First, it allows politicians to use their position of power to enrich themselves and their associates, often at the expense of taxpayers.
A. In the example given by Plunkett, he used his insider knowledge to purchase land before it became public knowledge that the park would be built there. This allowed him to make a profit by selling the land at an inflated price to those who needed it for the park project
B. Progressives fought against this brand of corruption in a number of ways. One approach was to advocate for greater transparency and accountability in government.
Progressives argued that by making government more open and responsive to the public, it would be harder for politicians to engage in corrupt practices like "honest graft.

ASAP plss help me plss it’s due today I will give brainlest! The subtitle of Gladwell's article asks, "How
different are dogfighting and football?" Does
he explicitly answer the queston? what does
he think? What do you think?
Answers
Answer:
The author of the article does not answer the question explicitly, but presents arguments that allow the reader to construct his own answer and see that dogfighting and football are not so different.
Explanation:
"How different are dogfighting and football?" is the subtitle of the article "Offensive Play" that presents a comparison between the violence of dogfighting and the violence of football games.
According to the article, dogfighting is illegal and somewhat inhuman and malicious, unlike football, these two elements have a lot in common. First of all, both football and dogfighting are extremely violent environments that can harm participants and in an intense and very debilitating way. In dogfighting, the dog's resistance and the ability to continue fighting is evaluated, even if it is seriously injured, since the dog that quits fighting is devalued and seen as inferior. In football, athletes are also judged on the resistance and strength they have, even in the midst of the violent blows they receive, and the player who does not resist is harassed by the crowd and even by teammates.
The author of the article presents these comparisons, stating implicitly that there are not so many differences between dogfighting and the football match, but allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions on the subject.

Economies that suffer from the above-described problem are referred to in economic parlance as Mono-product economies.
In real-world scenarios, many countries which are described with the above term actually have the capacity to produce and export other products. But for some reasons such as politics, poor governance, poor leadership, lucrativeness or productivity of the primary product, etc they are content to explore and export one product which constitutes between 75-100% of their gross national revenue.

Nigeria (Primary Product - Crude Oil products)Zambia (Primary Product - Refined and Unrefined Copper)Venezuela (Primary Product - Crude Oil products) andAngola (Primary Product - Mineral Fuels...especially crude oil)Cheers!

With the exception of Hawaii, the map shows the pattern of production for coffee beans by country. If the map was reproduced at the subnational state or provincial scale, as Hawaii is on the map, what changes in pattern would be expected in other parts of the world?
a. the inland provinces of African countries would not show any production
b. southeast Asian islands would notnshow any production
c. the states in northern Mexico and northern India would not show any production
d. the amazon basin and congo basin would not show concentrated areas of production
e. provinces in southern China would not show concentrated areas of production
Answers
Answer: C, The states in northern Mexico and northern India would not show any production. *
Explanation: Both the southern states of Mexico and India are known to produce coffee and I believe that their northern states produce little to no coffee. Additionally, East Africa and Southeast Asia are major producers of coffee beans so A and B are inaccurate.*
*This answer is not by any means entirely correct and is my own assumption but if you do a little research on the coffee production of Mexico and India, you will find that their southern states are often mentioned, and more so than their northern states.
Describe the vicious cycle of depressed thinking and the perspectives to understanding depression. In your response, be sure to discuss the statistics, characteristics, biological influences, and social-cognitive perspective.
Answers
Answer:
The cycle of depressed thinking has four steps: 1) stressful experiences 2) negative explanatory style 3) depressed mood and 4) cognitive and behavioral changes. The steps repeat as part of a vicious cycle. Depression changes both thoughts and behaviors. Depression is widespread; as many as 10 percent of Americans suffer from depression, with women suffering at nearly twice the rate as men. Most depression episodes self-terminate, meaning they do not require the intervention of medicine or therapy. Stressful conditions related to work, marriage, and close relationships often precede depression. Depression is striking earlier with each successive generation. Genetics seems to play a role in depression. There is a 30 percent heritability estimate for depression. Other factors, like biological influences, seem to be associated with depression. For instance, diminished brain activity is associated with depression. Norepinephrine levels are lower with depression, and serotonin may play a role as well. Social-cognitive perspectives can play a role in depression as well. Negative thoughts (such as rumination: staying focused on the problem) can contribute to negative moods and can reinforce each other. Also, an explanatory style that includes a negative, stable, and global assessment of the issue can contribute to learned helplessness, a condition in which a person sees no way to change a situation, reinforcing the negativity of thought.
