Question

cheap oil and natural gas lead to what kind of society?
a. conservative society
b. consumption-oriented society
c. nomadic society
d. agricultural society

Explanation:

Cheap oil and natural gas are low-cost energy sources that enable mass production, easy transportation, and widespread access to goods and services. This fosters a culture where purchasing and using goods becomes a central focus, which defines a consumption-oriented society. Conservative societies are defined by traditional values, not energy costs; nomadic societies rely on moving for resources; agricultural societies center on farming, not fossil fuel access.

Answer:

B. consumption-oriented society
