Solution

failed
failed

The answer is D: Because some people may be hurt.

Explanation for each option:

A. Because it is nontraditional - This option is incorrect. Dysfunction in sociology refers to negative consequences of social structures or actions, not whether something is traditional or nontraditional.

B. Because some governments will become too strong - This option is incorrect. While strong governments can be a concern, dysfunction in this context is about the negative impact on individuals and society, not government strength.

C. Because it can be studied - This option is incorrect. While sociological phenomena can be studied, dysfunction specifically refers to the harmful effects on society, not the ability to study it.

D. Because some people may be hurt - This option is correct. Robert Merton's concept of dysfunction refers to the negative consequences of social actions or structures, such as reducing funding for education, which can lead to a lack of skills among workers and ultimately harm individuals and society.

1. Ausbreitung Wasserwelle a) In einem See beobachten Sie den Wellengang. In einer Minute zählen Sie 10 Wellen, die Sie erreichen. Der Abstand von zwei Wellenbergen beträgt etwa 12m. Wie groß ist die Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit der Wellen? b) Andere Wasserwelle: Während 12 Schwingungen innerhalb von 3 Sekunden ablaufen, breitet sich eine Störung um 3,6 m aus. Berechnen Sie Wellenlänge, Frequenz und Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit der Welle. 2. Momentaufnahme Seilwelle Mit Hilfe eines Seils lässt sich sehr einfach eine Querwelle (Transversalwelle) erzeugen. Die beiden Bilder unten zeigen zum einen die (idealisierte) Momentaufnahme der Seilwelle und zum anderen den Verlauf der Schwingung eines "Seilteilchens". Hinweis: y stellt hier die Auslenkung s dar. a) Welches der beiden Bilder ist die Momentaufnahme der Welle, welches stellt die Schwingung eines Seilteilchens dar?
