Describe how the design of the church contributes to its purposes as a spiritual sanctuary. (ten sentences minimum) Art History

Answers

Answer:

People attend churches. The church building is a geographical location that provides sanctuary.

Biblically, there is a specified design for how a holy sanctuary should look like. This is found in the Good Book from the 25th Chapter of Exodus to the 31st.

It is clear, however, that over the course of history,  those recommendations have been modified.

These changes, some mostly triggered by the radical liturgical activities of the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church (which holds Church Building Architecture with utmost reverence and importance) has found it greatly challenging to adopt a newer and better standard architecturally to express its Mass.

For the Catholic church, it is important that the geographical location has a sense of sanctity and sacredness which will serve to enhance the unique spiritual experience of the Catholic Mass.

The above being said, the architectural devices of the church that exude space and a sense of sacredness works together with the liturgical processes to create evoke or amplify an emotional response.

The emotional response in this case relates to the connection between the church attendee and the sacredness they have come to want to achieve.

How did Japan gain territory and control of areas of China during WW1?

Answers

Answer:

Japan participated in World War I from 1914 to 1918 in an alliance with Entente Powers and played an important role in securing the sea lanes in the West Pacific and Indian Oceans against the Imperial German Navy as a member of the Allies. Politically, the Japanese Empire seized the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence in China, and to gain recognition as a great power in postwar geopolitics.

Japan's military, taking advantage of the great distances and Imperial Germany's preoccupation with the war in Europe, seized German possessions in the Pacific and East Asia, but there was no large-scale mobilization of the economy.[1] Foreign Minister Katō Takaaki and Prime Minister Ōkuma Shigenobu wanted to use the opportunity to expand Japanese influence in China. They enlisted Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925), then in exile in Japan, but they had little success.[2] The Imperial Japanese Navy, a nearly autonomous bureaucratic institution, made its own decision to undertake expansion in the Pacific. It captured Germany's Micronesian territories north of the equator, and ruled the islands until they were transitioned to civilian control in 1921. The operation gave the Navy a rationale for enlarging its budget to double the Army budget and expanding the fleet. The Navy thus gained significant political influence over national and international affairs.[3]

truyền thống văn hóa việt nam tác động đến sự hình thành tư tưởng hồ chí minh

Answers

Answer:

Tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh là một hệ thống quan điểm và tư tưởng của Hồ Chí Minh trong sự nghiệp cách mạng của ông được Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam tổng kết, hệ thống hóa. Hệ thống tư tưởng này bao gồm những quan điểm về những vấn đề cơ bản của cách mạng Việt Nam,[1] từ cách mạng dân tộc dân chủ nhân dân đến cách mạng xã hội chủ nghĩa; vận dụng và phát triển Chủ nghĩa Mác-Lênin vào điều kiện cụ thể của Việt Nam.[2]

Các nội dung trong tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh được hình thành và phát triển gắn với các thời kì hoạt động của Hồ Chí Minh trong phong trào cách mạng Việt Nam và quốc tế[3] vào đầu và giữa thế kỷ 20. Giáo trình tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh nhận định Tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh là sự kết tinh của văn hóa dân tộc Việt Nam, tư tưởng cách mạng Pháp, tư tưởng tự do của Hoa Kỳ, lý tưởng cộng sản Marx - Lenin, tư tưởng văn hóa phương Đông, văn hóa phương Tây và phẩm chất cá nhân của Hồ Chí Minh.[4]

Tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh đã được xác định là một hệ tư tưởng chính thống của Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam bên cạnh chủ nghĩa Mác-Lênin, được chính thức đưa ra từ Đại hội VII của Đảng. Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam, Nhà nước Việt Nam cùng các quan điểm chính thống ở Việt Nam hiện nay đều thống nhất đánh giá Tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh chính là cách vận dụng sáng tạo Chủ nghĩa Mác-Lênin trong điều kiện cụ thể của Việt Nam và coi tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh đã trở thành một tài sản tinh thần quý báu của Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam và của dân tộc Việt Nam.[5] Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam xác định lấy Chủ nghĩa Mác-Lênin và tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh là kim chỉ nam cho mọi hành động và thắng lợi của cách mạng Việt Nam.[6][7] Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam luôn tăng cường tuyên truyền thúc đẩy việc học tập và làm theo Tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh ở tất cả các tầng lớp trong xã hội.

Phần lớn các giáo trình tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh không phân tích các quan điểm của ông theo các thời kỳ lịch sử, không phân tích cụ thể các tác phẩm của ông theo chiều thời gian. Điển hình như năm 1930 khi thành lập Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam, ông cho rằng đấu tranh giải phóng dân tộc đi kèm đấu tranh giải phóng giai cấp. Khi thành lập Việt Minh thì gác lại chủ trương đấu tranh giai cấp mà thực hiện đấu tranh đòi các quyền tự do dân chủ và đoàn kết toàn dân chống phát xít theo đường lối Quốc tế Cộng sản (chủ trương này khá trùng lặp với đường lối của Nguyễn Văn Cừ khi làm Tổng bí thư). Đến giai đoạn năm 1945, khi cần tranh thủ sự ủng hộ của Đồng Minh cho nền độc lập của Việt Nam, ông tuyên bố "giải tán Đảng Cộng sản Đông Dương" và tán dương nền dân chủ.

Tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh chỉ chính thức đưa vào Cương lĩnh của Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam năm 1991, sau khi công cuộc Đổi mới phát động, chấp thuận phân hóa giai cấp, nhiều lý luận của chủ nghĩa Mác - Lênin không có tính khả thi trong cơ chế thị trường phải gác lại như đạo đức xã hội chủ nghĩa, xây dựng con người xã hội chủ nghĩa, làm theo năng lực hưởng theo lao động trên toàn xã hội... (chủ nghĩa cộng sản đặt ra mục tiêu cuối cùng là xóa bỏ giai cấp, bóc lột, xóa bỏ giàu - nghèo, làm theo năng lực hưởng theo nhu cầu, công hữu trên nền tảng dân chủ, xóa bỏ giáo điều tôn giáo được xem là mị dân, xóa bỏ nhà nước đi đến dân chủ trực tiếp và bình đẳng, xóa bỏ các đường biên giới quốc gia, đưa các dân tộc đến cùng một lợi ích, xóa bỏ bất bình đẳng giữa các dân tộc trên phạm vi thế giới...). Các giáo trình của Việt Nam thường khai thác tư tưởng Hồ Chí Minh theo chiều hướng trên.

(PF)

Answers

The correct answer is B) transportation.

Globalism in the twentieth century was promoted by advances in transportation.

Globalism sees the entire planet as a place to exert political and economic influence, basically through trade. That is why transportation has promoted this globalized arena in most countries of the world.

This globalism approach revolutionized societies around the world during the 20th century. It has allowed people, cultures, and ideas to spread rapidly to areas that may not have had access to them before.

Although faced with many difficulties in some countries and by some nationalistic leaders, globalization will continue to affect the world in the 21st century. Trade regions or associations will add to their base to include more members and trade among them. This is the case of the European Union, APTA (Asian Pacific Trade Agreement), or USMCA (former NAFTA-the North America Trade Agreement).

Answer:

1. Command economy.

2. Capitalist economy.

Explanation:

An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.

Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;

I. Mixed economy.

II. Command economy.

III. Traditional economy.

IV. Capitalist economy.

A command economy also referred to as planned economy, can be defined as a type of economy in which the government owns and control the means of production.

Generally, a command economy requires that the quantity of goods, method of exchange, distribution, sales price, employees or worker's wages,  investments, as well as the means of production of goods and services and allocation of resources for production should be controlled or regulated by the public (government) rather than the private sector (free market).

A capitalist economy also referred to as free-enterprise system, pure capitalism, or free market can be defined as a type of economy in which prices, products and services are being determined by the market rather than the government. Thus, a capitalist economy is devoid (free) of government regulations, interference or control because the market (enterprises) are the ones who are saddled with the responsibility of determining the market forces.

Simply stated, a capitalist economy is a type of economy that is completely driven by demand and supply of goods and services.

Which of these costs seem justified? Which costs seem unjustified? France debt

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached or further references or context, we can say the following.

Regarding the French debt, the costs that seemed justified were the French intervention in the Seven Years War, because France had a great rivalry against England, and France had to send troops to the North American territory and other parts of the European continent.

Another justified cost was the support the government of France offered the Continental Army when it was fighting against the British troops during the Revolutionary War of Independence. At that time, the United Kingdom was the natural enemy of France.

Now, the costs that seemed unjustified were the following. First the construction of luxurious buildings such as the Versailles Palace, in the outskirts of Paris. This was an excessive massive luxurious building in a time where most of the French people were very poor.

The other unjustified cost was the extravagant parties and luxurious lifestyle of the King of France Louis XIV and his wife Maria Antonieta. Fancy parties, fancy clothes, and fancy food, when the Third State in France was dying of hunger.

We then can say that a class conflict started the revolution.

The French Revolution began in 1789. The Storming of the Bastille started the hostilities in Paris, France. French people were tired of the tyranny of the monarch. The class system had produced social inequality and the tax burden on the thirds state (the commoners, the poor people) angered the French.

Explanation:

Communism is a system of government in which all property are controlled by the state/community and those properties are allocated or given out to citizens based on their needs.

With this in mind, communist governments traditionally believe that the needs of society as a whole are more important than those of the individual.

Therefore, in a communist system, basic civil rights are severely restricted

Answer:

One way to treat discrimination is to have government intervention discrimination, because federal laws of the United States prohibit discrimination based on a person's country of origin, race, color, religion, disability, sex, and familial status. Laws prohibiting national origin discrimination deem discrimination or discriminatory acts illegal because of a person's birthplace, ancestry, culture or language (The United States Department of Justice n.p.). The state government also has the power to make laws prohibiting people from discriminatory acts. Many states enacted laws that ban any and all forms of discrimination. Specifically, six states have passed ballot initiatives in order to amend their constitutions and prohibit state and local governments from portraying discrimination in public, contract making, and educational aspects on the basis of race, ethnicity, or sex. These states include California in 1996, Washington in 1998, Michigan in 2006, Nebraska in 2008, Arizona in 2010, and Oklahoma in 2012 (Clegg and von Spavosky n.p.).

           Another way to eradicate discrimination is to promote diversity in our society. Diversity was introduced as a kind of end run around the historical problem of racism, the commitment to diversity is associated with the struggle against racism. The objective of eradication or treating racism is to create a color-blind society rather and having a color-conscious society. Instead of treating people as if their race does not matter, we should not only recognize but celebrate racial identity (Michaels). Cultural diversity is important, because workplaces, and schools increasingly consist of various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups which we could learn from. Learning about other cultures helps understand different perspectives within the world in which we find ourselves in, dispelling negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups or ethnicities. In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect other cultures. It also makes our country a more interesting place to reside, because people from diverse cultures or contribute to our language skills, thought process, knowledge,
