Answer:
The patent system is an important and good concept. With it, many people are prevented from getting stolen from or stealing others' ideas. While this can be very good, and promote further discovery and prevent theft. It is also quite controversial and comes with drawbacks.
Drawbacks include the costs, time it takes, and the enforcement. Getting a patent may take years and only works in the areas that you get it in. It can also be quite costly, with many fees, including maintenance fees, reissue fees, and more. Often times, patented inventions often generate less revenue than the cost it takes to actually patent it. In addition to this, it can be quite the hassle to enforce, as it can be very time consuming and costly to monitor, track down, and bring any wrong doers to justice for infringement.

Answer:
A one world-government could be a positive outcome for manking, but also a negative one.
It could be positive in the sense that it would allow a better coordination to solve global problems like climate change or world poverty. In fact, one of the problems of climate change is that the solutions need to be on a global scale, and countries do not agree on them.

Read the passage about energy use in Dallas, Texas, from the US Department of Energy. During the past five decades, Dallas’s population has nearly doubled—growing from 679,000 in 1960 to more than 1.2 million people today. To support this rapid growth, develop a sustainable community and reduce Dallas’ impact on the electrical grid, the city created the Green Dallas Initiative with support from the Energy Department’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. Using some of its EECBG funds, Dallas focused on improving the energy efficiency of 248 city-owned buildings, totaling 3.3 million square feet. Following energy audits, the city made energy efficiency improvements that included upgrading to energy-efficient indoor lighting at more than 150 buildings and installing digital HVAC controls—technology that allows the city to monitor energy use and continuously adjust the systems to increase efficiencies and reduce energy consumption—in 100 city-owned facilities.
Which best explains why Dallas has needed to find ways to reduce energy consumption?
A.Dallas’s population has grown as people have moved from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt.
B.Dallas has run out of ways to create renewable energy and must use new sources.
C.Dallas has lost population and must reduce energy costs due to lost tax revenues.
D.Dallas’s federal funding is tied to a requirement that it reduce energy use by 50 percent.
Answer:
A.Dallas’s population has grown as people have moved from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt.
Explanation:
Dallas is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and one of the main reasons is that many people have moved from the lagging economies of the Rust Belt, to the more dynamic economic of Dallas, which is located in the Sun Belt.
Because of this growth in population size, and also because Dallas has a very hot climate during most of the year, it has become necessary to find ways to improve the efficiency of energy consumption in the city, like the excerpt in the question explains.

They almost didn't have a right to vote
Explanation:
Even though the 15th Amendment says black men should have a right to vote, the Caucasians had a hard time practicing it and the African Americans almost had no right to vote until after the civil rights movement started.

Can you help me write an essay on #BlackLivesMatter based on the manifestations?
Black Lives Matter
Black lives matter is a political and social movement originating among African Americans, emphasizing basic human rights and equality. Black lives matter started in 2013 when people started using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin in February 2012 because black people weren't being treated the same. It started because Black people were being treated differently and right now everyone should be treated the same. The year is 2020 and people still act like it's the 1900s!
The purpose of Black Lives Matter is to spread awareness and to make a change for equality. The sad thing is that Black Lives Matter doesn't affect any social class, age, etc, it only affects your skin color which is very sad because no one can control their skin color, so it affects African Americans and people who are dark skin. It isn't only happening in America, protests are happening all over the world like the UK, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Canada, Palestine, Syria, and other places, but it's mostly happening in America. For things to change powerful people need to help.
Protests are happening for Black Lives Matter and I think that what the people are doing is good because they are protesting for equality, but some people are taking advantage of the protests and use it to destroy things which makes people think that all these protests are useless, and the powerful people like lawyers, police officers, the president, the government. etc. aren't doing much.
On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in Minneapolis, Minnesota after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer and 3 others, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while he was handcuffed face down in the street. Many people were watching but none of them did anything to help George Floyd because they were not powerful enough. This all happened because George Floyd was suspected of giving a counterfeit $20 bill. This makes me very sad because George Floyd did nothing to deserve this and black people are being treated like this every day just for having a dark skin color which is something they can't control. Black people are given stereotypes, if you're black you are a “thief”, a “killer” and many more racist stereotypes that have nothing to do with the color of someone's skin. Black people are being treated brutally and are being killed by white people who think they are the most superior race.
George Floyd, Sean Reed, Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Garner, Ariane McCree, Steven Demarco Taylor, Terrance Franklin,David McAtee, Natosha “Tony'' McDade,Yassin Mohamed, Kwame “KK'' Jones, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, these are all names of unarmed blacks who were shot and killed by white supremacists, and there's even more but they are too many to name.
Dylann Roof Kills 9 and he is arrested peacefully, Patrick Crusis kills 28 and he is also arrested peacefully, but Eric Garner who Killed 0 people allegedly sold illegal cigarettes choked to death while stating “I can’t breathe”.George Floyd Killed 0 people, allegedly wrote a bad check murdered on camera.
The phrase ”All Lives Matter '' is a phrase used in response to “Black Lives Matter” but it does not represent the same thing. People say it and it is wrong, all lives don't matter until black lives do! You can't just say “all lives matter '' when it's black lives that are suffering. ‘Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter, it's just that right now black lives are the ones that are suffering the most and we should try our best to help them.
