5. Determine and enforce civil laws of property and conduct. This includes the freedoms of the press, religion and rights of property.
6. Provide public goods and services for the well-being of the community as a whole, such as infrastructure, vaccination programs, disaster relief, fireworks shows, public parks, basic healthcare, subsidized housing, public education and public utilities.
(These are things that the government provides better than private business for the community at large through pooling money and resources. There are more positive externalities for society when government provides public goods and services.)

It was there. Someone said they had a bachelors from that college. THey said it was agreat school!!
A900rr: Yeah right. Some 'one'? And who might they be? I have found absolutely nothing by multiple searches, and question whether it was a legit school. Probably one of those distance learning classes giving fake degrees. Got a real website with an alumni list, like real colleges?
Hey a900rr, the real question is why do you even care? If it was fake, or if it was real, it is none of your business since you are not an alumni anyway. Go somewhere else to harass people. Or a better solution would be to quit harassing people in the first place.
A person who completes mental and emotional evaluations, stating they are a professional in that field, is to use that personal and protected confidential information for the benefit in their client's behalf, not to unjustly enrich themselves. It is considered unprofessional conduct according to Utah Code and Rule to do such illegal and/or unethical acts.
What would you do if someone unjustly enriched themselves, regardless of professional standards, with your inheritance and life savings, hmmm? Stand around and listen to those persons in behalf of a criminal saying you should just stop attempting to get your money and life back and just 'move on' without what was unjustly taken? I think not.....and nor will I until that end is reached in its totality.
Therefore, it is entirely my business, and will continue to be until that criminal completely and honestly accounts for all funds, returns what has been unjustly taken, and repents of their wrongdoing in all of these matters.
Why is egalitarian marriage bad?
Egalitarian marriage is NOT bad. All an egalitarian marriage means, is that a man and wife share equal rights and responsibilities to decisions and work within a marriage. That means they each have equal say in all financial decisions, regardless of who earns more, and that they each have a shared role of housework, and child care duties as the other, (provided they both work). Dad has equal say in whats best for the kids, and mom has equal say in how money should be spent. No one in an egalitarian marriage "wears the pants" and the man is not the head of the house, nor is the wife the cook/babysitter/maid. Each spouse has the right to initiate sex however/whenever he or she pleases, but also has the duty to please his or her partner. Intimacy is a shared responsibility. The whole POINT of an egalitarian marriage is that both husband and wife do equal work, and have equal say in sex, money, chores, and parenting. However, this is completely at the discretion of the married couple and is not a social movement that would hinder the free rights and choices of the married couple. Some married couples would rather not practice such a dual-split responsibility agenda and live according to what their parents believed and practiced as well as previous generations before them. Many females enjoy playing a role that is thought of by many as a constricting and even "oppressed" life of staying at home and adhering to what they think of as "women duties." Likewise, such couples feel most comfortable when the male works outside the home to assume the financial responsibilities for the family which is equally as important. As they live together they create an environment that is most comfortable to them.

Why do Africans have so much rhythm in their body as opposed to Caucasians?
This is a really horrible question for a few reasons: first, how are you defining "African" vs. Caucasian? Are you trying to imply that African music is more rhythmic than European? Or are you dividing the world into an American-style dichotomy between black- and white-skinned people?
In the first case, your question is misguided because it is wrong to assume that African music is any more rhythmic than European. Many dance styles, though not popular now, originated in Europe. The most obvious would be any kind of ball room style, though it would be fair to say that these styles were perfected in South and Central America. However, dance styles such as polkas, mazurkas and waltzes come from Europe and do have rhythms. African music, on the other hand, is often less cohesive and "put-together" than European music. Bear in mind that the full orchestra is a European concept, not African; we can see that the standards of music are very different between the two continents. It would be unfair to say that one type of music is better than the other, but it is probably fair to say that the concept of rhythm has been more thoroughly explored in European music than in African.
On the other hand, if you are using the American dichotomy, then you are talking about a cultural divide, not a racial divide based on skin color or genetics. This is nurture, not nature. Going back to the fact that traditional "white" dance styles are no longer considered "cool," (i.e., polka), we see that a lot of white people in America are not encouraged to dance. Add to that the fact that many Christian denominations declare music and dancing anathema, we see that many white people have a culturally conditioned fear of dancing! Think of "basketball rules" at middle school dances, for example. For this reason, a lot of white traditional dances have completely died out in America, and with it the average white person's desire and ability to dance. If a white person does study dance, he will probably be more interested in the prestige that comes with traditional black styles (i.e., Hip-Hop, break dancing, &c.) or Latin styles (i.e., tango, salsa, samba, &c.). If a white person pursues polka, jazz or choreography (such as you might find on Broadway), he'll face very strong stigmas - traditional "white" styles such as polka or Broadway choreography are respectively considered "painfully uncool" and "gay." However, for a white person to study "black" dances, he may face the stigma of being a poseur, a fake or fool.
Dance, then, is a very difficult thing for a white person in America to participate in. There are prejudices and stigmas on every side - should he be true to his heritage and forfeit his social standing by studying polka? Or should he adopt a new tradition and risk looking like a poseur? What about the risk of eternal damnation promised at his church? Should he go against God's will and join a dance team?
Your question is impossible to answer unless we know what perspective you're coming from. If you are a black person trying to throw out a bit of bravado, then your answer would be "Because you are fly." If you are a racist, black or white, your answer would fall back on cliched racial stereotypes - you probably don't want an honest or real answer. Because you are racist, you would rather hear the cliches and stereotypes that will confirm your prejudices. Sorry, I can't do that. If you want a racist answer, it is this: white people can't dance because their culture does not give them any real opportunities to do so. Black culture does. It doesn't get any more racial than that because dancing ability is not a racial characterisitic! You might have gotten the impression that it does because, in America, cultural lines are drawn along skin color lines - white Americans are not the only people with a restrained and repressed sense of rhtyhm!
If you're just a generally misguided person, then your answer is, in short, "They don't have more rhythm in their bodies at all." It might be productive for you to read up on the concept of race, perhaps studying some genetics in there as well. In addition, you would do well to be more introspective and pay attention to the way you move and the way people around you move. Finally, you ought to open your mind up a little and pay attention to culture - most differences that, on the surface, appear to be based on race are entirely cultural!

Compare and contrast sociology and anthropology?
Sociology studies human societies, social behavior, and institutions within a contemporary context, focusing on social structures and dynamics. Anthropology examines human societies, cultures, and behaviors across time and space, encompassing past and present societies. While both fields study human behavior, sociology emphasizes modern societies and social structures, whereas anthropology has a broader focus on culture, traditions, and human evolution.
Who is the father of anthropology?
Marco Polo is named "the father of modern anthropology."
Consider several scholars other than Marco Polo. Non-modern anthropology would be 1) description of other societies and their cultures without a theoretical framework or 2) consideration of "them" as an imperfect form of "us." Polo fits that description. Some historians of anthropology claim the title for Franz Boas because he was scientific in identifying issues and in analysis in the 1880s. Others object due to the high level of near pure description that Boas and his students used in documenting many endangered societies and practices. If you wish to take a risk, you may want to claim Boas' teacher Adolf Bastian. Bronislaw Malinowski and A. R. Radcliffe-Brown would be contenders as "fathers" for their development of functionalism in the early 20th century. Claude Lévi-Strauss would be a later option with his development of Structuralism in Anthropology in the 1940s, but that would require discounting the earlier anthropologists as pre-modern.

What type of gene flow allows reduction of variation?
Gene flow that involves the movement of individuals from a high-variation population into a low-variation population can result in a reduction of genetic variation. This can happen if the incoming individuals do not introduce new alleles or if genetic drift and selection reduce the frequency of existing alleles.
What is 'cognitive anthropology'?
Cognitive anthropology is a subfield of anthropology that focuses on the study of the ways in which cultures shape and are shaped by cognitive processes, including perception, memory, reasoning, and language.
