Answer:
When World War II ended in September 1945, the United States and the Soviet Union—former allies in the defeat of Nazi Germany had already begun to see fractures in their once-mutual support of one another. Competing views of post-war Europe and other regions around the world quickly set the former allies down a decades-long period of mutual distrust. As a result, an unofficial but nonetheless all-too-real ‘state of war’ developed between the two emerging superpowers. This would become known as the Cold War.
The United States and the Soviet Union were actively engaged in an escalating and intense political, military, and economic confrontation between 1946 and 1991. Over the course of nearly five decades, Texas and Texans responded to their nation’s call to duty on both the military and home front, and served admirably.
Although the Cold War officially ended almost 25 years ago, to many, the real sense of fear and anxiety that Texans (their parents and grandparents) felt is hard to comprehend or relate to. Like the rest of the nation, Texans worried about family members serving overseas during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and Operation Desert Storm. On the home front, in small and large Texas towns alike, many feared nuclear annihilation and grappled with the need to build a bomb shelter in the back yard during the Arms Race. These same people participated in both anti-war protests and patriotic demonstrations of support in response to the Cold War's impact on their lives.
Throughout the Cold War, Texas was host to dozens of active duty Department of Defense sites, many of which whose origins began in World War II. A few are still open today. These Cold War military sites included U.S. Air Force bases and stations at Lubbock, Pyote, San Angelo, El Dorado, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Laredo, Harlingen, San Antonio, Victoria, Houston, Bryan, Waco, Fort Worth, Wichita Falls, and Sherman; U.S. Army posts at Fort Bliss, Fort Sam Houston, Fort Hood, Fort Wolters, and Texarkana; and U.S. Navy air and fleet stations at Kingsville, Corpus Christi, Beeville, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Ingleside. In addition, smaller facilities in Texas played major roles in the national defense: the U.S. Air Force-manned Atlas Missile bases, the U.S. Army-garrisoned Nike Missile batteries, and a U.S. Navy-operated Space Surveillance Field Station.
These military sites trained young men and women in a post-World War II desegregated military for active duty in the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard. The histories of these sites are documented at 'on base' museums, through the efforts of local county historical museums, public libraries, and at each respective branch’s national archive. However, the personal stories of the men and women who served in the Cold War—told in their own words—when recorded and preserved will enrich our understanding of this important period in our nation's history.
Cold War Historical Markers
United States Air Force veterans of the 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing (SRW) stand next to the historical marker for Operation Brass Knob, dedicated in Del Rio, Val Verde County (2008).
In October 1962, the 4080th SRW and elements of the C.I.A. flew Lockheed U-2 aircraft out of Laughlin Air Force Base on secret surveillance missions to document the Soviet Union’s nuclear weapons build-up in Cuba during one of the Cold War’s most intense moments, the Cuban Missile Crisis. Afterward, when President John F. Kennedy presented the 4080th with an Outstanding Unit Award, he noted, “The work of this unit has contributed as much to the security of the United States as any unit in our history, and any group of men in our history.”
Several sites, events, and individuals associated with Texas’ role in the Cold War are already commemorated with Official Texas Historical Markers. These topics include: Kelly Air Force Base, Sheppard Air Force Base, Ellington Field, Operation Long Horn, Operation Brass Knob, Flour Bluff Independent School District, General Lucian K. Truscott, Jr., and the USS Uvalde. To read these markers’ inscriptions please visit the THC's Texas Historic Sites ATLAS.
Oral History Project
The state of Texas, by virtue of its distinguished and preeminent role in the Cold War from 1946 to 1991, is home to thousands of Cold War oral histories, both military and civilian, that remain unrecorded or preserved.To aid in the preservation of this history, the Texas Historical Commission's (THC) Military Sites Program recently conducted a two-year oral history series titled When the Lone Star State Met the Iron Curtain: Recollections of Texas in the Cold War.

cual es el problema ambiental de brasil?
y cuales son las causas?
Answer:
Los problemas ambientales de Brasil, aquellos que afectan el medio ambiente, son múltiples, vastos y de enorme gravedad, perjudicando todos sus biomas. Entre las principales amenazas están la polución del agua, del aire y del suelo, la deforestación, el depósito y disposición de basura en locales inadecuados, la caza y la pesca predadoras, el desperdicio de alimentos y de recursos naturales, y el calentamiento global. Todas ellas tienen su raíz en la explosión demográfica, en la acelerada expansión urbana y agropecuaria, y en el proporcional aumento en el consumo general de recursos, pudiendo actuar en separado, pero en general haciéndolo en combinación, y desencadenando una serie de impactos negativos sobre la biodiversidad, haciendo declinar poblaciones, extinguiendo especies, privándolas de comida y abrigo, y provocándoles enfermedades, reducción en su crecimiento, anomalías genéticas y otros males.
Consecuentemente, se desencadenan perjuicios variados para la sociedad, que en todo de la naturaleza depende para sobrevivir, en la forma de reducción de fuentes de alimento y energía, de servicios ambientales, de materiales de construcción, de substancias medicinales, de fibras, aceites, resinas, condimentos y otros recursos. También perjudican al hombre directamente, causándole enfermedades y otros daños a su salud, finanzas y bien estar. Toda la sociedad brasileña siente los efectos combinados de esos problemas, y sufren más los más pobres, la despecho de la existencia de abundante legislación normativa y protectora.
Varias son las políticas y los programas gubernamentales y privados dedicados a la prevención y combate a las amenazas ambientales, pero en el balance se han revelado poco eficientes y poco ambiciosos, visto que las amenazas se agravan día a día, sin que haya señal de una reversión en gran escala en las tendencias actuales y en un futuro próximo.
Factores culturales, económicos y políticos, que privilegian la explotación predadora, inmediatista, no previsora y no sustentable de la naturaleza, además de la ilegalidad, dificultan enormemente la aplicación y la eficacia de las normas legales de monitorización, fomento y protección de las especies salvajes. La falta de educación ambiental y de conciencia de la población sobre el papel fundamental que la naturaleza desempeña en la vida humana son otros agravantes de ese contexto dramático, haciendo que las proyecciones de futuro no sean optimistas, aunque el conocimiento exista y sea fácilmente accesible, y aunque los costes de transformación del modelo actual sean bajísimos comparados con sus beneficios, especialmente en la perspectiva del largo plazo.

URGENTEEE!!! “Sobre os perigos da leitura
Nos tempos em que eu era professor da Unicamp, fui designado presidente da comissão encarregada da
seleção dos candidatos ao doutoramento, o que é um sofrimento. Dizer esse entra, esse não entra é uma
responsabilidade dolorida da qual não se sai sem sentimentos de culpa. Como, em 20 minutos de conversa,
decidir sobre a vida de uma pessoa amedrontada? Mas não havia alternativas. Essa era a regra. Os
candidatos amontoavam-se no corredor recordando o que haviam lido da imensa lista de livros cuja leitura
era exigida. Aí tive uma ideia que julguei brilhante. Combinei com os meus colegas que faríamos a todos os
candidatos uma única pergunta, a mesma pergunta. Assim, quando o candidato entrava trêmulo e se

A reação dos candidatos, no entanto, não foi a esperada. Aconteceu o oposto: pânico. Foi como se esse
campo, aquilo sobre o que eles gostariam de falar, lhes fosse totalmente desconhecido, um vazio imenso.
Papaguear os pensamentos dos outros, tudo bem. Para isso, eles haviam sido treinados durante toda a sua
carreira escolar, a partir da infância. Mas falar sobre os próprios pensamentos – ah, isso não lhes tinha sido
ensinado!
Na verdade, nunca lhes havia passado pela cabeça que alguém pudesse se interessar por aquilo que estavam
pensando. Nunca lhes havia passado pela cabeça que os seus pensamentos pudessem ser importantes.”

NEED ASAP!!Please help! What advantages come from centralizing the government as Emperor Qin did in 221 BC. Do the advantages of having a unified Empire outweigh the harsh treatment of its people?
Answer: Control and Accountability
Explanation: When centralized leaders are in charge of all major decisions they retain more control over company operations and development of its culture. Additionally, little question exists over who is accountable for the results of those decisions. If the company gets a bad price in a supplier negotiation, top managers know to turn to the head buyer to get a sense of what went wrong. This accountability causes top managers to drive each other to peak performance.

Explanation:
how does technology, both past and present, influence society today?
Technolgy influenced many variables throughout time, such as imperial expansion, knowledge of the environment, better medical development, and many other things. If we didn't have the technological advancements that we did throughout the ages, the world would be very different from today. Many things could have gone astray and history would be very different. For example, if boats were never invented, immigration and exploration would be almost non-existent, and the Americas wouldn't have been discovered by Europe. Another thing that would have changed is international trade, trading between countries would be impossible without the use of boats unless the countries were connected by land.
