DRobert Putnam and others have expressed concern about how social and technological developments in the last few decades have weakened people’s social ties with one another. Identify the consequences of this weakening.

There are several consequences, some of which are:

Explanation: I. A greater feeling of social isolation; although it is commonly said that the world is becoming a global village, advancement in technology has greatly limited interpersonal relationships and many people feel lonely and isolated. For example a group of friends having dinner with each busy on their device surfing the virtual web; although they are together but not forming any social bonds.

II. It has resulted in less time spent doing physically present volunteer work. A lot of people at the press of a button make donations and it has been observed that as technology advances, decline has been recorded in face to face volunteer work.

III. Frequency in labour turnover: with advanvement in technology and less interpersonal relationships, searching for jobs is at its easiest and since loyalty is another advantage lost to this process, people are constantly changing jobs.

the correct answer is 2.

a slump in geology means a mass movement process of slope failure. a mass of rock or unconsolidated material drops along a slip surface. in other words, rock layers move a short distance down the slope. the slump block is an intact block (2), without any landslide material.

in this image, 1 is the surface of rapture (scarp), 2 the slump block, 3 main scarp (crown), 4 base of rapture with debris flow.

slumps are caused by clear cutting on unstable soils and the sagging of earth, in coastal areas they are due to wave infiltration.
