____ societies ‘reproduce’ their territory?
On the one hand, ____ is full of territorial conflicts; a social system that has its territory removed is doomed to fail.
What role ____ the territory play in the metabolic reproduction of the social system’s population?
Of key significance is the fact that ____ offers the population a legitimate physical ‘common living space’, that is, it serves as a ‘repository for humans and their infrastructures’.
This ‘repository function’ provides the opportunity to participate in the consumption of the so-called ‘free goods’, the ecosystem services within the territory (for example, clean air and ____).
In most cases, however, it means more than this. The ____ is in some sense answerable to the ‘common good’ and thus to ensuring conditions supporting the reproduction of its human subjects.
In any case, at least within ____ territory, it must ensure that their metabolic reproduction is possible.
The ____ is therefore meaningful in containing natural resources which economic processes can appropriate.
It also provides an outlet for the depositing of waste products from these processes, and it is a source of ____ non-provisioning ecosystem services.
2 직원 보호를 위한 물리적 장벽의 필요성과 문제점
There are some situations where physical barriers are both sensible and necessary for the protection of the ____.
There are classic examples of this within the prison service and of ____ arrangements can be made for the safety of visitors.
But many reception areas for public services have, from time to time, employed ____ screens in the hope of discouraging violence or abusive behaviour and for the protection of staff.
These have not always worked, however, and have sometimes given the ____ that violent behaviour is being expected.
Some ____ find such screens to be so impersonal that they provoke a suspicious, even aggressive, response.
They much prefer to create an open, warm and human environment that respects the individual and encourages them in turn to behave respectfully ____ the worker.
It is also possible that screens can put confidentiality at risk if people feel that they have to speak more loudly in order to ____ themselves heard.
____ in GP surgeries are good examples of this.
3 암호 해독과 설명의 차이
Decoding is a verbal activity that regards its object as a ____ of signals; each signal carries a specific meaning determined by a code.
The ____ of decoding may be verbal or nonverbal.
The nonverbal object, however, becomes in the process of decoding analogous to verbal objects, that is, it is viewed as a ____ of signals.
Decoding an enemy’s message ____ with the belief that the apparently random signals conceal a coherent meaning.
As is the case with explanation, ____ aims to unify disparate facts.
While explanation includes the particular covered by a general law, decoding substitutes one element with another in accordance with a rule that may be individual to the particular ____:
the enemy’s second message may or may not be written in the ____ code as the first.
The decoder cannot rely on ____ similar cases to provide the right code — the apparent similarity may be misleading.
By contrast, similar cases must be similarly explained, because explanations assume general, coherent rules common to ____ relevant cases.
Decoding is the process of interpreting signals, often requiring specific rules to particular cases, in contrast to explanation which relies on ____ rules across similar cases.
4 이산화 탄소와 산소의 반대 작용
Carbon dioxide is a powerful ____ of breathing (it acts on a different set of chemoreceptors, found in the brain) and if its concentration in the blood falls, breathing is inhibited.
It is possible to demonstrate this for yourself. You will find you are able to ____ your breath for longer if you breathe very rapidly for a short time beforehand.
(Do not do this for more than a minute or ____ may become dizzy.)
The reason is that breath-holding is terminated ____ by the demand for oxygen but rather by the falling carbon dioxide concentration in the blood.
When this reaches a critical level it stimulates you to take a ____.
Hyperventilation before holding your breath blows off carbon dioxide from the ____ and enables a longer period to go by before carbon dioxide builds up to a level sufficient to stimulate breathing.
The opposing drives from oxygen and carbon dioxide explain why no change in breathing occurs at altitudes of less than 3000 ____.
5-6 교육 분야에서 권력을 행사하는 정책
It is perhaps self-evident that the outworking of policy is seen in the exercise of power if it compels individuals to behave in a way ____ they would not have chosen to do.
Policy can be used to highlight power relationships, but it can also ____ for depersonalisation of power and decision-making:
a leader could imply that while they don’t really agree with a particular course of action, the policy dictates it and therefore it must be ____.
In the same ____ policy can act as the source of authority such that hierarchy is unnecessary:
a group of individuals may resort to policy to guide their decision-making when there is no established authority figure to ____ their direction.
Ultimately those who define ____ exert power over those who follow policy and, in education at least, it is rare that policy is determined collectively:
at best, ____ are elected democratically so that they may set policy for the electorate.
There is therefore an inevitable reliance on a political ____, and a consequent hierarchy of power.
A frequently seen example of policy as ____ in schools is uniform.
It is for the ‘____ board’ of a school to determine if it has a uniform, and if so what it is, but parents and children have a duty to comply, and school staff have a duty to enforce it.
Countless children will have discovered that they cannot appeal to the logic that inadequate uniform does not affect their learning, and nor can they ____ to any individual to plead their case, for the power rests within the policy itself:
it is ____ to say that you have to wear school uniforms because that is what the policy says.
