In non-industrial societies, access to both land and labor comes through social links such as kinship, marriage, and descent. Mutual aid in production is merely one aspect of ongoing social relationships that are expressed on many other occasions. Non-industrial societies contrast with industrial nations in regard to another means of production technology. In bands and tribes manufacturing is often linked to age and gender. Women may weave and men make pottery or vice versa. Most people of a particular age and gender share the technical knowledge associated with that age and gender. If married women customarily make baskets, most married women know how to make baskets. Neither technology nor technical knowledge is as specialized as it is in states. However, some tribal societies do promote specialization. Among the Yanomani of Benezuela and Brazil, for instance, certain villages manufacture clay pots and others make hammocks. They dont specialize, as one might suppose, because certain raw materials happen to be available near particular village. Clay suitable for pots is widely available. Everyone knows how to make pots, but not everybody does so. Craft specialization reflects the social and political environment rather than the natural environment. Such specialization promotes trade, which is the first step in creating an alliance with enemy village. Specialization contributes to keeping the peace, although it has not prevented intervillage warfare. Among the Trobriand Islanders of the South Pacific, Malinowski found that only two out of several villages manufactured certain ceremonial items that were important in a regional exchange network called the kula ring. As among the Yanomani, this specialization was unrelated to the location of raw materials. We dont know why this specialization began, but we do know that it persisted within the kula ring, which allied several communities and islands in a common trade network.In non-industrial societies, how do people obtain the means of productionABy land and labor.BThrough social links.CBy mutual aid.DBy many other occasions. 19. Questions 14 to 17 are based on the following passage. At the end of the passage, you will be given 20 seconds to answer the questions. Now, listen to the passage.How would an American react if his personal boundaries are crossedAHe would be irritated and become very aggressive.BHe would be angry but try to control his temper and calm down.CHe would become frigid and inhospitable.DHe would feel greatly ashamed and behave embarrassedly. 20.Every year, 2,000 American lives are saved by the selflessness of others. These are the bone marrow donors who give the gift of life to patients fighting deadly diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, and aplastic anemia. Thats the good news. The bad news is that thousands more die each year because not enough people have signed on to the registries that would help the ill find a suitable match for a transplant. Bone marrow or stem-cell transplants are usually a last resort, intended for those whose illnesses have not responded to traditional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation. How do they work We all store a special type of cell in our bone marrow called stem cells. These primitive cells give rise to the three types of blood cells: red, white and platelets. Everyones stem cells have certain genetic characteristics or markers that make them unique from others. Despite this uniqueness, there are some shared characteristics between people. This is important, because a patients immune system will reject blood or organs received from someone else if they do not share sufficient similarities. Family members, especially siblings, are always the first to be considered as donors, because theres a greater chance that the genetic markers on their cells will have enough in common to prevent rejection after transplantation. In many cases, however, a familial match cant be found and then the search begins for an unrelated donor. These donors typically come from a pool of people who have already signed up on a donor registry in the event that their cells match a needy recipient. Once the lab has verified a match between donor and recipient, the next phase starts. The patient is given radiation or chemotherapy to kill the unhealthy cells. Healthy cells are harvested from the donor either extracted from the pelvic bones or taken from the arm in a way that is similar to having blood drawn and prepared in a laboratory. Once theyre ready, theyre given to the patient through a vein the same way as one would receive a blood transfusion. Once these transplanted donor cells get settled within the patients bone marrow, they make the healthy red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets necessary to support life. One of the major problems currently faced by transplant centers is that while bonemarrow transplants can cure more than 70 different diseases, there arent enough donors on the registry to treat the more than 3,000 patients awaiting transplants. The National Marrow Donor Program, the largest registry in the country, has approximately 4.8 million adult volunteer donors, but that isnt nearly enough for the thousands who need transplants. Why isnt a pool of more than 4 million donors isnt enough to cover 3,000 needy patients Heres the reason: in the vast-majority of cases, finding a suitable match isnt easy. Because we are unique individuals with a variety of ancestral backgrounds and integration patterns, finding someone similar to us is a major task. In the end, it comes down to a numbers game the more potential donors listed on the registry, the greater a chance of finding a match, especially for those with unusual genetic characteristics.The shared genetic characteristic of stem cells is important in bone marrow transplant because _.Athe same primitive cells can produce the same type of blood cellsBones immune system will reject the blood or organ of different genetic markersCones immune system will not reject the organ of the same type of blood cellsDthe uniqueness of genetic characteristics will destroy the patients immune system 21.The most effective attacks against globalization are usually not those related to economies.
