As the idea of Détente moved forward one central goal for the west was the promotion of what important moral idea. a) Strong Military b) Continued fighting of communism c) Human Rights d) Animal rights

Answers

Answer 1

Answers A and D are incorrect.

The idea of Détente grew as the United States, the Soviet Union and their respective allies sought to reduce the risk of nuclear war. Nevertheless, the Communists used subtle methods of repression: intimidation, imprisonment, refusal of access to studies, refusal to work or dismissal for political reasons.

The legitimacy of communism has been destroyed by the regular condemnation of these practices by the international press because one of the central objectives of the West was the promotion of human rights.

Answer C is the correct answer

What does it mean to be male? To be female?
(This is for sociology not history!)

The sex of the gender is necessary. Sex are the organic, physiological, biochemical characteristics that divide the species in men and women. Gender is the social construction that develops from sex. (People believe that having a certain genitality must have certain behavior)

Humans are bio-psycho-social-spiritual beings. Which biologically had been classified as either male or female based on body anatomy, we know that in the biological level is the chromosomes that define this features, where XX is for female and XY for male, so even before birth babies can have their gender defined.

The biological classification of gender implies certain social roles and functions, that may vary from society to society. In some societies these roles play down women in many different ways, historically women were treated as inferior in some societies and had to deal with things as receiving less wages than man in the same job position, or were not allowed to vote or to work in some specific jobs or places.

Now days great discussion occurs between scientist, philosophers and social scientist about what does it mean to be male or female? because even with this biological characteristics other elements can disrupt this dichotomous definition of male and female requiring then that we look for the integrity of humanity as beings that are bio-psycho-social-spiritual, not simply male or female which are compromised with some specific social role or function in a society.

Answers

The quotations from the article which support the author's main argument are the following:

"As the economy becomes more technologically complex, the amount of education that people need will rise."

"Americans with four-year college degrees made 98 percent more an hour on average in 2013 than people without a degree."

"Among four-year college graduates who took out loans, average debt is about $25,000, a sum that is a tiny fraction of the economic benefits of college."

In his article, the author states the importance of a college degree. He claims that it is essential for college education to be an option, regardless of the fact that many students fear the costs are too high. According to studies cited in the text, the total cost of college education is negative $500,000 and the pay gap between the salary of a college graduate and a that of people with a high school degree or less is at a record high. The author believes that these results show that there is a need for college graduates in the workforce, supported by the fact that the pay gap is growing each year.

According to glyndon g. van deusen, what was one reason the cherokees asked for federal protection from the state of georgia?

Answers

According to Glyndon G. Van Deusen, like other states, Georgia was compelled to comply with the treaties that were signed between the US and the Indian nations. But on the contrary, Georgia was reluctant, refusing to recognize the Cherokees as an independent nation within their territory and pressured them to sell their land and retire to a reduction.

Final answer:

The Cherokees sought federal protection from the state of Georgia's land seizures, legal intimidation, and harassment after the discovery of gold, but despite Supreme Court recognition of their sovereignty, they were ultimately subjected to forced removal.

Explanation:

One reason the Cherokees asked for federal protection from the state of Georgia was due to increasing pressure and aggressive tactics by Georgia, especially after the discovery of gold on Cherokee territory in 1829. Georgia asserted sovereignty over Cherokee lands, extended state laws to these lands, and began a campaign of harassment and intimidation, which included actions like dismantling the Cherokee government structure, the forceful seizure of the Cherokee newspaper The Cherokee Phoenix, and distributing Cherokee lands to white settlers through a state land lottery.

The Cherokees sought federal protection hoping the United States would uphold their rights and treaties that were established before these incidents. However, even the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia that recognized the Cherokee as holding distinct sovereign powers did not protect them from removal policies. Subsequent to these legal battles and continued pressure, the federal government ultimately decided to forcibly remove the Cherokee people, culminating in the tragic event known as the Trail of Tears.

Why did the U.S. Senate refuse to ratify the Treaty of Versailles?

They did not want the U.S. to be obligated to fight in future wars.

They felt the treaty was too harsh on Germany.

They wanted more reparations for the U.S.

They didn’t want an alliance with France.

Answers

The Senate refused to ratify the treaty of Versailles primarily because they objected to the League of Nations. If the US joined the League, then they would be obligated to fight in future wars and the Senate didn't want that.

Answer:  They did not want the US to be obligated to fight in future wars.

Details:

The majority leader of Senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, argued that the commitment to the League of Nations (a part of the Treaty of Versailles) could take away US Congress' constitutional right to declare war and obligate them to military actions initiated by the League of Nations.

The Republicans in the Senate feared the treaty could commit the US to future wars that were not directly related to US national security, because of the commitment the treaty made to the formation of a League of Nations.

The United States never joined the League of Nations, in spite of the fact that an organization such as the League of Nations was the signature idea of US President Woodrow Wilson.  He had laid out 14 Points for establishing and maintaining world peace following the Great War (World War I).  Point #14 was the establishment of an international peacekeeping association.

The Treaty of Versailles adopted that idea, but back home in the United States, there was not support for involving America in any association that could diminish US sovereignty over its own affairs or involve the US again in wars beyond those pertinent to the United States' own national security. Because of its objections to membership in the League of Nations, the United States Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles.

Answers

To the People of the USA in the person of  your present authorities:

It is our moral duty to begin this letter by manifesting India's strong support for the work of the Allied countries trying so hard of getting ahead in these dark days of world history.

It is necessary to emphasize that India is at this moment, trying to become a great free nation with the capacity to fight for peace. However, it is not easy to attend to external affairs when, within our own country, we are not capable of imposing unity and conciliation of opinions.

Just as many years ago the United States of America, all together as the great nation you are,  led a battle for its freedom from the British yoke.  And this is the historic moment in which India needs to get rid of the same problem, in order to face the future without the shame of subordination to the interests of others.

The United States of America also faces a difficult challenge today in its internal search to resolve the struggles between white and black people. We follow closely that complex events which are comparable to the disunity that today prevents us from facing the common enemy, which is not so much the foreigner as is our own our lack of maturity to face small quarrels and to advocate all for a common destiny.

This Great World War is the environment that overshadows any attempt to concentrate on internal interests, but we are convinced that we can not make a contribution to the solution of world problems if we do not first solve those at home.

Every day, we lose strength, involved in internal struggles that weaken us in the face of the British enemy and prevent us from becoming a single voice that advocates peace, union, liberty and equality as the only possibilities for a promising future.

We are all aware that Great Britain is – between others- your ally in this contest, and we understand the difficult position of the United States if tried to mediate in favor of India, endangering the strength that today must be shown to the enemies you face in common.

However, the USA is an older brother who faced similar vicissitudes in the past and this position is the reason why we feel the need to request mediation and support about the cause that overwhelms us.

More than two million of us have already been engaged in this World War to fight at the command of British forces. Our location is strategic to the extent of our proximity to Russia, China, and even Japan, so, for better or for worse, our geographical situation puts us in a strategic place that will always be available to you whenever it is necessary to try to contribute to peace and dialogue.

Undoubtedly, our true support in this war will be with the Allied forces, but it is essential that this help comes as a free and responsible people of their destiny and not as cannon fodder that is sent to die on the battlefield without understanding what which represents this war for India and its particular interests, which are none other than the restoration of world peace.

Meanwhile, you receive these words, we will be expecting it to come into substantial agreements and reflect the same good intentions with which this letter is being written. We do not hesitate to be at your disposal for any misunderstanding that may arise from this, and as long as this serves as the beginning of future conversations, we declare ourselves, sincerely yours.

The excerpt below is from the General Introduction to Tuskegee and Its People by Booker T. Washington:

Institutions, like individuals, are properly judged by their ideals, their methods, and their achievements in the production of men and women who are to do the world's work.

One school is better than another in proportion as its system touches the more pressing needs of the people it aims to serve, and provides the more speedily and satisfactorily the elements that bring to them honorable and enduring success in the struggle of life. Education of some kind is the first essential of the young man, or young woman, who would lay the foundation of a career. The choice of the school to which one will go and the calling he will adopt must be influenced in a very large measure by his environments, trend of ambition, natural capacity, possible opportunities in the proposed calling, and the means at his command.

In the past twenty-four years thousands of the youth of this and other lands have elected to come to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute to secure what they deem the training that would offer them the widest range of usefulness in the activities open to the masses of the Negro people. Their hopes, fears, strength, weaknesses, struggles, and triumphs can not fail to be of absorbing interest to the great body of American people, more particularly to the student of educational theories and their attendant results.

The existence of the FDIC, the SEC, and the Social Security in the United States shows that:

A. the New Deal had a lasting impact on the nation.
B. Americans are not supportive of government reforms.
C. all New Deal Programs were overwhelmingly successful.
D. government programs are not likely to succeed.

Answers

The correct answer is option A. the New Deal had a lasting impact on the nation.

The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and Social Security were all programs and agencies that started under president Rosevelt´s "New Deal" economic reform for the United States of America.

Through the creation of these agencies, programs, and regulations America has been able to achieve a fairly stable economy for almost 80 years. This economic reform represented the first time the U.S. Government became an active agent within the workings of the economic system.

The correct answer is A. The New Deal was a series of programs, public work projects, financial reforms and regulations enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the US between 1933 and 1936 to recover from the Great Depression. Although some programs lasted just a few years (such as the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Civil Works Administration and the Farm Security Administration, among others), the major ones are still operational (FDIC, SEC and Social Security Administration). This fact shows that the New Deal reforms in socioeconomic policies had a lasting impact in US (for example, it is estimated that the Social Security Administration currently keeps out of the poverty line approximately 40% of the American population over 65 years of age).

The Constitution gives Congress the power to promote the progress of science by giving authors and inventors the exclusive rights to their own work for a limited time. In a paragraph of five sentences or more, explain how scientific progress is promoted by having patent and copyright protection.

Answers

Scientific progress is promoted by having patent and copyright protection because, if an individual is working on something and they invent a new way of doing something. Patents and copyrights protects that person work. in other words no one will be able to steal that invention or work, without crediting the actual creator. For example, if you create a new space suit out of carbon fiber (light weight material) and manipulate something in the structure that allows astronauts the ability to wear this new suit without having the weight of normal suits, you would patent it so someone cant take those ideas and say they created it.



Final answer:

The Constitution encourages scientific progress through copyright and patent laws, which grant authors and inventors exclusive rights to their work for a limited time, incentivizing creation and invention while maintaining a balance in public policy.

Explanation:

The Constitution grants Congress the power to promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries. This is accomplished through copyright and patent laws. For copyright, as explained by the U.S. Copyright Office, it provides legal protection for 'original works of authorship' including various forms of art and literature. No one else can reproduce, display, or perform these works without the author's permission, providing a great incentive for authors to create.

Patent law, on the other hand, covers inventions, allowing inventors to have the sole right to make, use, or sell their invention for a limited time. This promotes scientific progress as it motivates inventors to innovate, knowing their work will be protected. However, it checks this by only granting this protection to genuinely new inventions and not for an indefinite time, creating a balance in public policy when it comes to technology.

How might God be using your educational experience to shape you to carry out God’s mission?

God's mission flows from God to Christ to the Holy Spirit, who empowers the church, who carries on the mission to the world" (Van Rheenan 2014:70). In the mission of the church individual Christians embody God's mission and are empowered by the Holy Spirit to convey it to the world.....

College education is about personal transformation, aligning one's pursuits with a greater mission, possibly a divine mission in a religious context. This journey emphasizes the application of knowledge, moral responsibility, and intercultural understanding, enabling individuals to contribute positively to the world and carry out what they might consider as God's mission.

The question instigates a reflection on how one's educational experience, particularly at the college level, may be a platform for personal transformation, aimed at preparing individuals to contribute to a larger mission. In many religious contexts, this could be interpreted as aligning one's educational pursuits with the divine mission that their faith dictates.



Personal transformation during college is a journey that often begins with acquiring knowledge and proceeds to applying that knowledge to real-world scenarios. The pursuit of education is not only for individual advancement but also serves a broader purpose—helping students find a greater meaning in life, which may include spiritual or religious pathways. This transformative experience emphasizes the development of a strong moral and ethical foundation that guides one to act upon the world in positive ways.



The belief in the power of education to change trajectories for individuals and their families has been influenced by the personal journeys of educators who understand these impacts first-hand. For example, educators who have witnessed the doors that education can open often carry a strong sense of duty to pay it forward by inspiring their students.



What was Roosevelt´s Corollary? Why was it also called the ¨Big Stick¨ policy?

Answers

The phrase came to be automatically associated with Roosevelt and was frequently used by the press, especially in cartoons, to refer particularly to his foreign policy; in Latin America and the Caribbean, he enacted the Big Stick policy (in foreign policy, also known as the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine). If you need something different, please let me know. Hope I helped.

The Roosevelt Corollary was set forth by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 (in his State of the Union Address that year).  It was a tweaking of the Monroe Doctrine.  The Monroe Doctrine expressed US opposition to European interference in the Americas.  Roosevelt's corollary to that doctrine was that the United States would intervene in conflicts between European countries and Latin American countries, rather than having the Europeans press their claims directly.

The policy became known as the "Big Stick" policy because Roosevelt used the policy to put the United States in the position of primary power broker in the Western Hemisphere, so that the USA would have the upper hand in Latin American affairs.

How did the u.S constitution and the bill of rights address the grievences expressed earlier in the Declaration of independence?

Answers

Protection against those grievances were included in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, to protect US citizens from such things in the country they were establishing.

I'll offer just one example as a case in point:

Quartering of soldiers meant soldiers would have the right to enter your home and expect you to provide them food and lodging.  That was seen by the colonists as invasive of their personal rights, and was raised as a grievance in the Declaration of Independence.

The issue of quartering of soldiers appeared not only as a complaint in the Declaration of Independence, but also became a featured right in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.  The 3rd Amendment states:  "No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."

Opponents of affirmative action argued that the programs

Answers

were unfair to white students with higher grades.

Final answer:

Opponents of affirmative action argue that it leads to reverse discrimination, devalues individual merits and achievements and might inhibit institutional success. They advocate for a focus on qualifications to allow individuals from underrepresented groups to compete through their own merits and abilities rather than affirmative action.

Explanation:

Opponents of affirmative action typically argue that these programs, while originally intended to correct systemic discrimination and lack of opportunities for underrepresented groups, sometimes lead to reverse discrimination and do not necessarily address issues rooted in socioeconomic status. They believe that affirmative action might inadvertently make it harder for qualified individuals from these groups to be taken seriously. Critics also argue that preferential treatment could risk devaluing individual merits and achievements, since some may view underrepresented group members as less qualified, even if they were admitted or hired based on their own skills and qualifications.

Furthermore, some argue that focusing on a prospective employee or student's race or gender might potentially inhibit an institution's success and competitiveness. They advocate for a focus on qualifications for hiring or application processes, with an emphasis on allowing individuals from underrepresented groups to compete through their own merits. This viewpoint suggests that providing individuals in these groups with the resources to succeed independently may be a more effective solution than affirmative action.

Idealistically, opponents of affirmative action prefer a meritocracy, where positions are granted purely based on ability. Nonetheless, defenders of affirmative action argue that systemic inequalities and entrenched prejudices often prevent a pure meritocracy from being realized.

K12 ~ 5.09: War's End
10th grade.

First, read this quote from Harry S. Truman, in regards to dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
August 5, 1963

Dear Kup:

I appreciated most highly your column of July 30th, a copy of which you sent me.

I have been rather careful not to comment on the articles that have been written on the dropping of the bomb for the simple reason that the dropping of the bomb was completely and thoroughly explained in my Memoirs, and it was done to save 125,000 youngsters on the American side and 125,000 on the Japanese side from getting killed and that is what it did. It probably also saved a half million youngsters on both sides from being maimed for life.

You must always remember that people forget, as you said in your column, that the bombing of Pearl Harbor was done while we were at peace with Japan and trying our best to negotiate a treaty with them.

All you have to do is to go out and stand on the keel of the Battleship in Pearl Harbor with the 3,000 youngsters underneath it who had no chance whatever of saving their lives. That is true of two or three other battleships that were sunk in Pearl Harbor. Altogether, there were between 3,000 and 6,000 youngsters killed at that time without any declaration of war. It was plain murder.

I knew what I was doing when I stopped the war that would have killed a half a million youngsters on both sides if those bombs had not been dropped. I have no regrets and, under the same circumstances, I would do it again -- and this letter is not confidential.

Sincerely yours,

Harry S. Truman


Question: Do you think dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the correct decision. Why or why not?

Answers

While there is a widespread belief that using nuclear weapons against Japan during the end of WWII precipitated the Empire's surrender, saving thousands of soldiers' lives from both armies, an ongoing debate is still taking place on the real effects that the bombs had on the Japanese decision to surrender.

After the surrender of the Germans and Italians, the Empire of Japan faced an overwhelming enemy force and its defeat was practically inevitable. However, they seemed to be willing to fight until they were completely defeated. That is why some believe that the use of the nuclear weapons persuaded the Japanese authorities to surrender or face total destruction.

In spite of that, some authors (such as Robert Pape) believe that it was the invation of Manchuria by the Soviets the decisive factor in the end of the war not the use of atomic bombs.

Ultimately, one could reach the conclusion that the use of nuclear weapons by Truman was not the correct decision since 1) it caused the death of tens of thousands of civilians 2) The Empire of Japan was outnumbered by the allies and the Soviet Union and its defeat was almost inevitable 3) the use of nuclear weapons on entire cities can not be justified with the attack on Pearl Harbour since one war crime cannot justify another one.

How did the United States get access to the Canal Zone in Panama?

The United States helped Panama achieve independence from Colombia in 1903, which led to Panama granting the US the rights to build and control the canal. This action occurred after the US provided military aid to ensure the success of Panama's revolution against Colombia.

The US continued the construction of the Panama Canal, which was completed in 1914, shortening the travel time for cargo between oceans. In 1999, Panama regained control of the canal as the US withdrew from the Canal Zone.

John Adams

One key foreign policy event during John Adams' presidency was the Quasi-War with France. This undeclared naval war between the United States and France lasted from 1798 to 1800.

Thomas Jefferson

A key foreign policy event during Thomas Jefferson's presidency was the Louisiana Purchase. In 1803, the United States acquired a vast territory from France, doubling the size of the nation. This event was significant because it secured vital land for westward expansion, ensured control of the Mississippi River, and helped establish the United States as a global power.

James Madison

One key foreign policy event during James Madison's presidency was the War of 1812. Fought between the United States and Great Britain, this conflict was triggered by British violations of U.S. maritime rights and impressment of American sailors. It had significant consequences for the nation, including a renewed sense of national identity and increased manufacturing capabilities.

James Monroe

A key foreign policy event during James Monroe's presidency was the Monroe Doctrine. In 1823, President Monroe declared that the Americas were off-limits to further European colonization and intervention. This doctrine asserted U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere and warned European powers against interfering in American affairs. It had a lasting impact on U.S. foreign policy and solidified the nation's position as a dominant power in the Americas.

She self-monitored the daily frequency of the curse words by keeping a tally on an index card she kept in her pocket. She set daily goals for herself to reduce the frequency of curse words each day until she was no longer using the words. If the frequency of her curse words exceeded her goal for the day, she had to put $2 into a jar in the kitchen. At the end of the week, her roommate counted the money and gave it to charity. In addition to this response cost procedure, she asked friends from her behavior modification class to remind her whenever they heard her use a curse word.
