Answer to Question 1

Once food supplies in pastoral and horticultural societies allowed for permanent settlement, some individuals could devote their energies to tasks other than those involving food production. This specialization enabled the production of more surplus goods, which further encouraged trade. The outcome was an unequal distribution of goods, and eventually, social inequality.

Answer to Question 2

Terrorism is the use of violence or the threat of violence to produce fear in order to attain political objectives. Unlike a major political power with a powerful military, the forces opposing the U.S. and its coalition in Iraq lack the means to confront these forces head on. Therefore they must resort to more creative and deceptive ways to achieve their objectives. Creating fear in the minds of the people is their strategy. By doing so, public opinion will turn against the U.S. forces, both by the Iraqis who support them and by the Americans at home who are becoming tired of the war. Terrorists do not wear uniforms. No specific government that may be funding terrorism can be identified, making retaliation exceptionally risky, if not illegal and reckless.
