Now look at the chart again. Compare the populations of Europe, the Americas, China, and India between 1500 and the
1600. What were the population trends in those regions during that time
Answers
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, the question is incomplete because it does not include the chart for reference. Without the specific chart, is difficult to make comparisons. However, we can comment on the following.
Between 1500 and the 1600, the population trends in Europe, the Americas, China, and India were increasing. It was a time of exploration for the European powers who sent expeditions to discover new maritime routes to Asia and Africa. In China, the Silk Road represented the most important way to develop trade routes and practices with far territories in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe.
In 1502, the first African slaves were sent to the Americas. By 1521, Hernan Cortez had conquered the most important Mesoamerican civilization: the Aztecs. Twelve years later, Franciso Pizarro did the same, conquering the Incas. In India, the Mughal Empire began in 1526.

The vast majority of socialists favored:
A. Violent revolution of the government
B. Slow progress through regular political means
C. Separation from the government
D. Making changes through non-governmental methods
Answers
Answer:
B. Slow progress through regular political means
Explanation:
Socialism is an economic theory that is in direct opposition to capitalism. This principle advocates the common ownership of the means of production in the society as against the private ownership of the means of production. Advocates of socialism reason that all who participated in labor and work should be able to benefit from the proceeds therein.
The answer to the question above depends on the time frame and government being discussed. There are socialist who are aggressive in achieving their aims and they tend towards communism, while the peaceful socialists are social democrats. When socialism started it advocated slow progress of achieving their aim through political means. During the World War, most proponents of socialism were attuned to the application of ethical considerations and peaceful measures to achieve their goal of a socialist economy against a Capitalist economy. Communists whose goals were similar to theirs (and this is indeed a form of socialism) were violent in their approach. For example, Joseph Stalin used the forceful method of collectivization to ensure a communist society in the soviet union. The most part of the 20th century saw the prevalence of communist countries who were revolutionary in nature and would tolerate no opposition.

In a pluralistic society, special interest groups have a right to which of the following? Select all that apply.
1. ignore legislation on behalf of small business
2. lobby the White House for a higher tax on the wealthiest 1%
3. testify in court on behalf of immigrants
4. get a Senator to introduce legislation to ensure healthcare for Hispanic children
5. meet with Congressional leaders to ask for the protection of religious minorities
Answers
Answer:
3. testify in court on behalf of immigrants
Special interest groups, for example, immigrants themselves, have the right, in a pluralistic society, to testify on behalf of immigrants.
4. get a Senator to introduce legislation to ensure healthcare for Hispanic children
As long as the special interest group uses arguments, and not money, it has the right to try to convince a senator to induce particular legislation.
5. meet with Congressional leaders to ask for the protection of religious minorities
This situation is similar to the one above. Special interest groups can meet with Congress people and try to convince them of certain acts or legislation, like for example, protecting religious minorities.

Pluto, the dwarf planet, is 5.9 billion kilometers from the Sun. Explain how a model showing the gravitational pull on Pluto would differ from your model of Earth’s orbit
Answers
As per the model, Pluto's orbit would have a much larger radius than Earth's orbit.
What is Earth's Orbit?Earth's orbit defines a two-dimensional plane which we call the ecliptic. It takes roughly 365 days for the earth to go around the sun once.
The distance between the sun and earth is 149,600,000 kilometers and the distance between the sun and Pluto is 5.9 billion kilometers. The gravitational pull decreases with an increase in distance.
So, the gravitational pull of the sun on Pluto is much less than its pull on the earth. So, Pluto's orbit would have a much larger radius than Earth's orbit.

Answers
Answer:
Hey there!
Hinduism is a religion that many believe started somewhere between 2300 B.C. and 1500 B.C in the Indus Valley. Unlike some other religions, Hinduism was not created by a single person, but rather a fusion of different beliefs and ideas. Hindus believe that there are four goals in human life: kama, artha, moksha, and dharma. Hinduism affected society, especially in Ancient India, very much. For example, it created a caste system, where people were designated "classes." The kings and noble people were always at the top, where the servants and slaves were always at the bottom.

In a paragraph of no less than five sentences, explain how Edgar A. Guest’s poem “You” expresses the idea that our character is determined by our conscious choices. In your explanation, use at least two quotes from the poem.
You are the fellow that has to decide
Whether you'll do it or toss it aside.
You are the fellow who makes up your mind
Whether you'll lead or will linger behind
Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar
Or just be contented to stay where you are.
Take it or leave it. Here's something to do!
Just think it over — It's all up to you!
What do you wish? To be known as a shirk,
Known as a good man who's willing to work,
Scorned for a loafer or praised by your chief,
Rich man or poor man or beggar or thief?
Eager or earnest or dull through the day,
Honest or crooked? It's you who must say!
You must decide in the face of the test
Whether you'll shirk it or give it your best.
Nobody here will compel you to rise;
No one will force you to open your eyes;
No one will answer for you yes or no,
Whether to stay there or whether to go.
Life is a game, but it's you who must say,
Whether as cheat or as sportsman you'll play.
Fate may betray you, but you settle first
Whether to live to your best or your worst.
So, whatever it is you are wanting to be,
Remember, to fashion the choice you are free.
Kindly or selfish, or gentle or strong,
Keeping the right way or taking the wrong,
Careless of honor or guarding your pride,
All these are questions which you must decide.
Yours the selection, whichever you do;
The thing men call character's all up to you!
Answers
Answer:
Your character is determined or defined by your conscious choices, because in the poem it says "No one will force you to open your eyes;" No one will choose or speak for you, in life you need to speak for yourself, and make the decisions. If you don't some people out there will not consider you a person, for you need other people to make your decisions, and speak for you, cause you cannot do that on you own. It also says "Life is a game, but it's you who must say," life is a game, there will be the ups and downs, but it is you who must go threw life, being on your own, and being independent, and making your choices. If you don't, you'll never know what life was like, cause you tell people what you want to say, you tell people what you want to do, but, you don't do them. And lastly, it says "All these are questions which you must decide. Yours the selection, whichever you do;" You are the King or Queen of yourself, you make the decisions, you speak for yourself, for nobody can rule you, but you.
The poet shows that the actions we do and the way we behave in the present will determine our future and the way people perceive us.
This can be seen because:
The author shows that no one will make us do anything for ourselves.We are the ones who have to decide to stand up, work, be proactive, and correct.These decisions will not always be easy and pleasant, but are necessary to shape who we are, who we will be, and how people perceive us.In other words, the author determines that we are responsible for ourselves and that we must decide how we will manage who we are and what we do.
This can be seen in two lines of the poem:
