    There may be several reasons for the fall of communism. One of the biggest reasons is that political oppression restricted civil liberties and human rights, and the people were very dissatisfied and opposed to it.

 1. Summary Arnett described the goal of socialization as follows. 1. Impulse control and development of conscience. 2. Preparing and performing roles, including professional roles, gender roles, and roles in institutions such as marriage and parental roles. 3. The source of meaning, the cultivation of what is important, valuable, and to live. Socialization is the process of preparing humans to function in social life.

Extra point D) Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur 노주

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDb01ggyDfo   When we go to another planet to carry on the exchange of civilizations, not only the exchange of cultures but also the clash of cultures. Alien civilizations across the galaxy capture individuals of some young species that have not yet reached the interstellar stage, cultivate them, modify them to make them live longer, immune to disease, etc., and spread them to any colonizable world. When their home planet began their first interplanetary symbiosis, they formed a bond with each other. Civilization is through the exchange of technology and the clash and collision of cultures. What is heartening is the impact of ascension on the role of the original species in the ecosystem, and given the ascending creatures and humans, utilitarians may favor ascension if the result is the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Inspiring ethics is a complex and multifaceted issue. It requires careful consideration of potential benefits and har...
