La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.
Desafortunadamente, se te olvidó anexar el texto de las páginas que mencionas, para poder leerlo y responder la pregunta tomando en cuenta lo que dicen esas páginas.
Pero ya que se te olvidó anexar esas páginas, lo que sí podemos hacer es compartir las siguientes ideas para que las puedas incluir en tu mapa.
La importancia del Seguro Social es que es una institución pública que fue creada por el gobierno para ofrecer un servicio público a los trabajadores de las empresas privadas que cotizan para esta institución por medio de un descuento proporcional a su salario mensual.
Esto es, que cada vez que un trabajador recibe su salario, el patrón le descuenta una cantidad que sirve para cotizar en el Seguro Social. Esa cotización es un porcentaje del salario del trabajador, y otro porcentaje lo pone la empresa.
El trabajador que cotiza tiene derecho a los servicios de salud pública en su clínica u hospital que le corresponda. Ya sea una enfermedad menor o una operación complicada, el trabajador tiene derecho a recibir atención médica gratuita.
Por otra parte, las causas de la explosión demográfica, son principalmente las siguientes.
Primero, una falta de planificación familiar que repercute en un mayor número de nacimientos. Después, una población más longeva, que vive más años debido a una mejor alimentación y mejores servicios médicos.

Among the factors that led to World War II was Group of answer choices the aggressive foreign policy of the United States following World War I. the inability of the Soviet Union to oppose Germany. the inability of Britain and France to agree on the terms of the Versailles treaty. the failure of efforts of collective security such as the League of Nations and treaties.
Although there were many causes of World War II, much of the blame is traced to the failure of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I. During the 1920's and 1930's, totalitarian states had established control under: Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in Germany; fascist leader Benito Mussolini in Italy; communist leader Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union, and Emperor Hirohito in Japan. The inability of the League of Nations to deal with the aggressive acts of these nations, combined with the isolationism of the U.S., and the appeasement of Adolf Hitler eventually led to World War II. In the years following the rise of dictators in Europe, an ethnic cleansing of undesirables was carried out in Hitler's Final Solution.

The event showed that Kenny was a confident and calm man who did not result to violence in high-pressure situations but who would still defend American sovereignty.
