Multiple Choice

1)Localization is characterized by all of the following except:

a.            Slow rates of change and the gradual diffusion of ideas

b.            Linguistic heterogeneity and local autonomy

e.            Technoeconomic generalization

2.            Delocalization is characterized by all of the following except:

a.            Dependence on commercially distributed sources of energy

b.            Rapid rate of change and intensive acculturation/assimilation between differing populations

c.             Loss of local autonomy

d.            A renewable and sustainable resource economy

e.            Technoeconomic specialization and differentiation -- i.e., increasing social and technological complexity

3.            Chiefdoms are characterized by all of the following except:

a.            Rigid ranked hierarchy

b.            Sedentary settlement pattern, surpluses, and accumulated wealth

c.             Political power predicated upon coercion

d.            Networked redistributive economy

5.            Industrialism is characterized by all of the following except:

c.             Energy-intensive mechanized transport and production

d.            Impersonalization and marginalization

e.            Technoeconomic generalization

True/False

6.            Physicists define energy as “the ability to do work” or “the capacity to move or change matter.”

a.            True

b.            False

7.            Nature is ultimately a system of solar energy capture and energy flows, and energy and matter cycling and recycling.

a.            True

b.            False

8.            Human social systems are biotic systems and thus are ultimately dependent on energy capture and exploitation.

a.            True

b.            False

9.            Increasing complexity in human societies correlates with increasing energy capture and increasing complexity in energy exchange networks.

a.            True

b.            False

10.          Increasing complexity in human social arrangements through time leads to increasing specialization and differentiation in statuses and roles, and this in turn leads to an increasing intensification of hierarchies and stratification.

a.            True

b.            False
