They also tend to downplay the consequences of their actions. These tendencies can inflame the anger of the hurt person, who, in contrast, may see an offense as bigger than it really is.

Each person has his or her own truth, and there is distortion on both sides.

3 1 Looking back, scientists have uncovered a mountain of evidence that Mayan leaders were = When they looked aware for many centuries of their uncertain dependence on rainfall. Water shortages were not only understood but also recorded and planned for. The Mayans enforced conservation during low rainfall years, tightly regulating the types of crops grown, the use of public water, and food rationing. During the first half of their three-thousand-year reign, the Mayans continued to build larger underground artificial lakes and containers to store rainwater for drought months. Often the most important religious temples sat atop the towering Mayan pyramids, presumably as the closest place to the heavens. As impressive as their elaborately decorated temples were, their efficient systems for collecting and warehousing water were masterpieces in design and engineering. = and regulated = on rationing 2 The Greeks belief that individuals were in charge of their own lives and free to act as they O OC chose fueled a tradition of debate. Homer, a Greek poet, makes it clear that a man is defined by his ability to debate like a warrior is defined by his courage. A commoner could challenge even a king and not only live to tell the tale, but occasionally sway an audience to his side. Debates occurred in the marketplace, the political assembly, and even in military settings. As striking as the Greeks freedom was their sense of curiosity about the world. Uniquely among ancient civilizations, great matters of state, as well as the most ordinary questions, were often decided by public, rhetorical combat rather than by authoritarian order. C C 102

The authors claim that illegal trafficking of primates is accelerating the decline of our closest living relatives to the point of near extinction. They estimate that more than 30,000 wild-caught primates are sold on the international market each year. Interpol, the international police agency, maintains that the illegal wildlife trade is a multibillion-dollar-a-year business, second only to drugs as a worldwide black market. Experts warn drug trafficking on the web has soared as Internet use has become commonplace, presenting (that) (and it is) = increased far more challenges than traditional trafficking.

What they learn helps engineers build structures that absorb and dissipate a quake s destructive energy.

5 Extremes of temperature will affect architectural design requirements in order to ensure that the internal environment is comfortable and habitable.

Architecture can be symbolic and have meaning associated with it; this could be religious, a cathedral for example, or an association with national identity, such as government offices.

Conversely, hot weather requires designs that encourage cooling, use light materials and incorporate features that prevent sunlight from heating internal spaces.

5 5 Extremes of temperature will affect architectural design requirements in order to ensure that the internal environment is comfortable and habitable. For example, cold weather necessitates thick, insulated walls to keep internal temperatures manageable. Architecture can be symbolic and have meaning associated with it; this could be religious, a cathedral for example, or an association with national identity, such as government offices. imilarly, reducing the glazing used in a building that is located in a very cold climate will reduce the building s heat loss. Conversely, hot weather requires designs that encourage cooling, use light materials and incorporate features that prevent sunlight from heating internal spaces. In these climates, architectural designs need to encourage cross ventilation in structures to keep the internal temperatures cool. glazing 6 There is nothing new in the realization of music s therapeutic and mood-changing properties.

Many writers and philosophers have pointed to the particular ability of music to touch the emotions rather than the intellect and to create atmosphere. Music creates images and specific sensations in each of our own minds, but the images and sensations are not precisely the same (or even close to being the same) for all listeners. As Honoré de Balzac observed, Music appeals to the heart; it communicates ideas directly, like perfume. 104

6 7 Members of a given culture have certain shared expectations of appropriate social behavior, the motivations of others, and accepted outcomes of communicative interactions. uch expectations are largely the result of the enculturation process that normal individuals are exposed to as a functioning member of a set culture. Individuals are socialized to accept relatively narrow ranges of behavior as appropriate; members of a culture learn to do things in a certain way and to regard the behaviors surrounding these activities as proper. The only real way to overcome cultural bias is to explore as many cultures as possible. Thus, contact with another culture leads to shock as individuals are confronted with different values, beliefs, attitudes, worldviews, and customs. These individuals face disparate assumptions about the role of language; the nature, importance, and power of social relationships; and the construction and maintenance of identity. = certain = strange enculturation 8 There was a time in the United tates when people owned slaves, when women were not allowed to vote, and when children worked long hours for shockingly low pay in unhealthy conditions. But small groups of abolitionists, suffragettes, and child welfare advocates saw things more clearly than their peers and worked tirelessly to change public opinion about each of these issues. The views of the broader public were changed in each case, and minority opinion became the opinion of the majority. Examples such as these remind us that although conformity pressures can be powerful, majority opinion does not always prevail. Members of conform(v) minority groups are prone to discrimination in the countries and societies in which they live. abolition(n) prone(a) = liable = vulnerable Not only can conformity pressure be resisted, but minority voices can be heard sufficiently clearly that the prevailing majority opinion can be changed. suffragette 105
