The United States hotly protested Stalin's actions in Poland, East Germany, and the rest of Eastern Europe as a violation of the "one world" principle of the Atlantic Charter and a departure from the agreements reached at Yalta and Potsdam. Aside from pushing for creation of the United Nations, did American policy actually abide by its own principles, or was it just as much based on national self-interest as the Soviet Union's?

Answers

The United States were just as much based on national self-interest as was the Soviet Union. The thing with the United states was that they were seen as the good guys because they were democratic and capitalist, while the Soviet Union was seen as the bd guys because they were communist and a socialist state. 
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "Basically, Stalin himself is not part or not one of the signatories to the Atlantic Charter. At that time is the foundation document for NATO, which is an anti-Soviet alliance. USSR occupied many nations for the reason of protection of the borders and creation of buffer zone. For Germany, it is an assurance that Russia won't be able to invade Russia."

Which of the following is not a reason why a high dependency rate leads to low levels of social welfare? A. Resources are disproportionately spent on the oldest members of society. B. Dependents contribute little to the national economy. C. Dependents contribute little to the tax base. D. The average age of the national population is too low to support economic and social growth.

Answers

NOT a reason why a high dependency rate leads to low levels of social welfare:

A. Resources are disproportionately spent on the oldest members of society.

Spending resources on the oldest members of society would, in fact, be a demonstration of social welfare in action. It is also the case that those in dependency are not just the oldest members of society, but especially also children. If there are high percentages of children compared to those of wage-earning age, the amount of resources available to spend on social welfare programs will be affected by that.
High dependency ratios exist in countries where there are a high number of dependents (people under 15 or over 65) in comparison to non dependents (people aged 15 - 64). In these countries, there would be high welfare spending, not low welfare levels.

Why is the slow growth that can result from a contractionary policy a positive effect?

Answers

Sometimes, the slow growth that can result from a contractionary policy is a positive effect because it slows down or stops inflation, which can happen when an economy is growing too quickly. 

The correct answers is: "Because it helps to control inflation and to ensure price stability".

A contractionary fiscal policy, consists on increasing the interest rate, which is the price charged by financial institutions for borrowed funds.

If such price increases, the amount of borrowed funds that investors are willing to demand decreases (inverse relationship of price and quantity demanded). Therefore, such adverse conditions, restrict the amount of money in circulation in the economy, the so-called money supply. This generates a contraction of the total output, but it also helps to control inflation because it causes a generalized price decrease.
