Answer:
On September 11, 1990, a few days after Iraq invaded Kuwait, President George H. W. Bush delivered a speech to both houses of Congress.
The speech was broadcasted live on radio and television. The text, originally dedicated to budgetary problems, had been profoundly modified depending on the situation. Its main objective was to define the American vision of the "New World Order."
After the Soviet Union, the Cold War ended and the tension between the two blocks in a bipolar world finished. The United States emerged as a unipolar superpower. With this, it achieved greater international influence, even in countries that had been part of the communist orbit. The presence of its huge military forces spread throughout the world and its interventions multiplied in various countries. The complex system of nuclear weapons, destined to confront those of the USSR, ceased to be a priority. But not for that reason the military resources were reduced. On the contrary, the new role of the United States, as a kind of “world's police” caused greater military expenses, which created serious problems for the US economy. But, although the US military power was not questioned, the growth of the economies of the most advanced capitalist countries managed to become strong commercial competition. The countries of Western Europe and Japan, especially, developed cutting-edge technological productive complexes, such as aeronautics, communications or genetics, which compete successfully with Americans. On the other hand, although with the end of the Cold War it has been possible to avoid the outbreak of a world conflict, which would have unleashed a massive nuclear destruction, in the last decades there have been regionally located conflicts and even greater tensions between the Arab world and the Western countries, which have become not in a conventional war, but in harsh military interventions or terrorist actions such as the one unleashed on September 11, 2001 against New York and Washington. The United States, the countries of western Europe and Japan, remained as great capitalist powers in the twentieth century. However, in the last decades of that century within the world scene, other countries were emerging, whose economic growth has placed them in the group of powers. Examples of this situation are China, Russia and India.

"Come on now—don't act like Sir Render!" Gavin said in his whiniest voice. "Like a knight who gives up so soon."
That hurt Teresa's feelings more than Gavin thought it would. To Gavin, harmless jokes were not serious. To Teresa, mean words were simply mean.
"I thought you would always have my back," Teresa spoke with tears in her eyes. "Why would you make fun of me when I need you the most?"
Gavin was alarmed and sat up straight on the couch. Surely it is not that serious, he thought. "Tell me why you are so upset about a little joke?" Gavin asked his little sister. He couldn't understand her reaction at all. But he felt sorry for her. In fact, he felt bad about all the times he teased Teresa. Gavin decided today was the day he would say sorry. Better late than never, he remembered his mother's words and spoke gently. "Listen, I am sorry. I forget that you don't like my teasing you. You know I am just playing with you. Tell me what the real problem is, my baby sister."
Teresa flung her arms and hugged her big brother. Then, she sobbed. Gavin patted his sister's back and held her without saying a word.
"So, what is it?" Gavin finally asked.
"The girls at the camp said mean things," Teresa said, "and I ran out before giving my presentation."
"Don't let them give you more reasons to be mean," Gavin advised. "I mean—if you run from your work, they will call you more names. Tomorrow, ask the teacher to let you give the presentation. Hang out with people who are nice to you. Ignore those fools!"
Teresa was surprised at how nice her brother was being. "Do you know you can give good advice?" She smiled.
"I guess I can if I try," Gavin said as he released his sister from his hug. "Don't get used to it."

The ruling in Worcester v. Georgia had little positive effects because President Jackson didn't enforce it.
The ruling of the US Supreme Court in the case Worcester v. Georgia (1832) is one of the most important decisions in the history of US jurisprudence. The president of the Supreme Court at the time was John Marshall, former Secretary of State of US President John Adams.
The question concerned the Cherokee Indians, and their removal from the lands of the state of Georgia. The Indians lived peacefully in their lands thanks to ancient peace treaties carried out in 1791 with the United States. They had their own laws and a proper state. But in 1828 gold was discovered in their possessions and Georgia took advantage of the opportunity to declare all previous agreements null and void in order to recover valuable lands and assets contained in them. The Indians then recurred with the help of the missionary Samuel Austin Worcester.
The Supreme Court declared the unconstitutionality of the state law, as only the federal government could express itself on the question of the Cherokee.
President Andrew Jackson, supporting the state of Georgia, allowed that the Indians were driven from the territory under the threat of weapons, in what was called the Trail of Tears.
Parliament raised taxes on the colonies after the French and Indian War because the British government was in debt.
During the French and Indian War, British prime minister William Pitt allowed the British military to spend as much money as they wanted in order to defeat the French in North America. This ultimately lead to significant debt for the British govenrment.
The British government turned to the colonists to pay off this debt, as they felt it was only fair that the colonists pay for the protection the British military provided the colonists against the French. However, the colonists did not respond well to these taxes because they had no representation in Parliament. This is why the colonists cried "no taxation without representation" in protest of the British government. This would become one of the main reasons for the colonists declaring independence from the British empire.
The correct answer is - Cotton farming.
The cotton farming in Central Asia is the agricultural activity that primarily contributes for the rapid drying out of one of the biggest lakes in the world, the Aral Lake, or as it is often referred to, the Aral Sea. The Aral Sea is located on the border between the countries of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and this is a region that has a long tradition of cotton farming. Since the lake's waters had started to be used for the growth of this highly water demanding plant, the drying out of it has been very quick, and as it goes the lake will probably disappear in the near future.
The problem that makes the drying our so intense, is that the water that is taken out of the lake is in too big of an amount, and the main tributary, the Amu Darya River, can not compensate the loss. Also, the region is very dry, and in summer very hot, so the evaporation contributes even more for the loss of water, so the lake is on the verge of existence at the moment.
