Why do bourgeois approaches to urban environmental sustainability tend to put so much emphasis on green technologies?

1. Because a technology-heavy approach to environment requires little structural economic change, leaving capitalism and its shibboleths (growth, privatization, individualism) unthreatened.

2. Because the technological approach to environment makes promises of profit as well as sustainability.

3. Because such an approach allows economists to indulge in simplistic, one-dimensional models decoupled from a more complex, holistic analysis encompassing social, cultural, ideological and historical as well as economic factors.

4. All of the above.

You are studying cultured reindeer cells. The cells start out being brownish gold, due to the activity of the FulL protein (that we recently learned is induced by turkey extract). When you incubate the cells with the extracellular factor Santa, there is a rapid loss of FulL from the cells, and this loss causes the cells to immediately go from being brown to being white. Treatment with Santa also causes the reindeer cells to transcribe the snoW gene, as well as other genes (treE, gifT, and belL). A few hours after snoW, treE, gifT, and belL are transcribed and translated, the cells secrete red and green pigments and also start gliding across the culture dish. They also seem to prefer media with a higher nutrient level, and they are distinctly larger. The new media contains factors CookE and MilK, and after addition of either of these, there are more cells in the dish after a few days. This effect of CookE and MilK can be inhibited by exposure to strong sunlight (UV rays). Finally, you find another factor, called Grinch, which will result in death of the reindeer cells.

a. Please describe one mechanism that would explain how adding Santa to the cultured cells would result in loss of the FulL protein. Give all steps, starting from addition of Santa and ending with the loss of FulL.

8. Have you ever worn something from a culture other than your own? This includes thing like hairstyles, clothes and accessories.

Yes. Not only me, at present most of the people, all over the world are doing the same. In this world we live in a together in a society with people from different places, different customs, and backgrounds. As we live together, we grow together, we also learn about other cultures and we accept them. There is a mutual two way exchange of cultural behaviors. This process is usually called "Acculturation". Also with technologies like television, internet, social media, etc. There is a widespread of information which is easily accessible to everyone. People following other cultures is most commonly evident in their dressing style (fashion). For example, long ago in India, ancestors used to wear Kurtas and dhotis. Where as we can see now present generation wearing jeans, t-shirts, and shirts of different patterns which is originally adopted from western culture.

9. If yes, did you know the meaning, significance and importance of that symbol?
