Golf has become a major commercial sport in certain countries because those who are interested in golf tend to watch more television than other people in society. have more free time than other people in society. are more influenced by advertising messages than others in society. have more economic resources and influence than others in society.

The correct answer is D.

Gold is often considered an elitist sport.

There are 40 million golfers in the world, 25 million of those in the USA.

Most of the golf clubs are private with limited access for members only. The membership is not affordable for many people with ordinary jobs. The game is costly in terms of not only money, but also time. To play, one must spend some time practicing which is often not compatible with a 5 to 9 job.

There are however, golf courses with less pricey fees. On the whole, golf is still considered to be a sport for the rich and privileged, people with more economic resources and influence than others in society.

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.

no one should discriminated against because he or she is not from a minority group
