Question 5 of 10
Which item is an example of a primary source?

Answer:

Answer:

1. Ongoing Wars

2.Immigration and Deportation

3. Big surveillance

Explanation:

1. Less than a month after 9/11, U.S. troops invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to dismantle  al-Qaeda — the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the attacks — and remove the Taliban government harboring it. Our military involvement in Afghanistan, which continues today, has turned into the longest-running war in U.S. history. And although formal U.S. combat operations ended in late 2014,  more than 8,000 U.S. troops are still there to stem the ongoing Taliban insurgency. The LA Times reports that as of August 25, 2014, 749 California service members from every corner of the state had been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

2.  The Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service -- both formerly part of the Department of Justice -- were consolidated into the newly formed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency has overseen a massive increase in deportations; they have nearly doubled since 9/11. According to the Department of Homeland Security’s Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, there were roughly 200,000 annual deportations a year between 1999 and 2001. While that number dropped slightly in 2002, it began to steadily climb the following year. In the first two years of the Obama Administration (2009 - 2010), deportations hit a record high: nearly 400,000 annually.  About half of those deported during that period were convicted of a criminal offense, although mostly low-level, non-violent crimes.

3. The U.S. intelligence state boomed in the wake of 9/11. The growth resulted in a marked increase in government oversight, primarily through a vast, clandestine network of phone and web surveillance.  The exponential growth of this apparatus -- armed with a $52.6 billion budget in 2013 -- was brought to light when the Washington Post obtained a "black budget" report from Snowden, detailing the bureaucratic and operational landscape of the 16 spy agencies and more than 107,000 employees that now make up the U.S. intelligence community.

Answer:

The atmosphere blocks out harmful rays from the sun. The ozone layer, which lies in the stratosphere 11 to 50 kilometers from the Earth's surface, blocks out many harmful forms of radiation. Without the ozone layer, ultraviolet rays would destroy most life on Earth. Gases in the atmosphere also hold in heat.

As the one hundredth anniversary of the beginning of World War I approaches, one may encounter some rather strained attempts to compare the current global balance of forces to that in Europe in 1914. I recently visited several countries in south east Asia and a different comparison struck me, the similarities between now and the 1930s, weak democracies and strong dictatorships.

This comparison “jumped off the page” after a week in Bangkok, followed by several days in Hanoi - a journey from a country with weak and faltering formal democratic institutions to an apparently stable one with an authoritarian regime (bordering on a country with a considerably more brutal dictatorship, China).

In The Age of Extremes, Eric Hobsbawm argued that the conflict between capitalism and communism determined the course of the twentieth century.  This confrontation of socio-economic ideologies without doubt dominated European and global history, especially after 1945.  But another, inter-related confrontation that determined the course of the century was authoritarianism versus democracy. The capitalism-communism conflict seems but a moment of history for people in their forties and younger. However, the danger of a rising authoritarian wave is as imminent in the twenty-first century as it was in the twentieth.

In most countries of Europe in the 1930s the contest between authoritarian and democratic visions of society dominated the political struggle. The exceptions were Italy where the fascists had already established an extreme version of authoritarian rule, and Britain where a rigid class structure gave stability to superficially democratic institutions. By the middle of the decade, capitalist authoritarian regimes were clearly on the rise in Germany and much of central and eastern Europe (e.g., Hungary and Poland), as well as Portugal, with Spain soon to join the anti-democratic camp.

Indeed, in very few of the industrialised countries in the late 1930s did democracy seem the stronger trend. Among the large countries only in the United States was there an unambiguous shift towards strengthening popular participation. Ironically enough it was during the presidency of patrician Franklin D Roosevelt that trade unions asserted themselves as a major political force (which would not survive much past mid-century).

Now, well into the twenty-first century it is even more difficult to find a major country with vigorous and democratic institutions, certainly not in the United States nor in Europe. In the United States the confrontation between a well-funded right wing Republican Party and the middle-of-the road Democrat Party dominates politics, one doctrinaire and aggressive, the other muddled and vascillating. The anti-democratic trend is demonstrated by passage of laws restricting the right to vote in Republican controlled states, linked to the racist xenophobia of the Tea Party. In the White House sits a Democrat apparently unconcerned by a massively intrusive national security complex.

In Europe anti-democratic trends are if anything stronger. Britain probably has the most extensive video surveillance network in Europe (see recent articles in the Guardian), as well as legal restrictions on the right of assembly, designed to reduce public protests (as we find in Spain). In addition, the Conservative-dominated coalition government’s brutal attack on poor households receiving social support in effect legalises civil rights violations. Surveillance, attacks on the poor and the government fanning fears of immigrants combine to make a potent anti-democratic package.

On the continent pre-existing authoritarian tendencies enjoyed a quantum leap under the EU-wide austerity regime fostered by the German government under the cover of the European Commission. The unelected governments in Greece (2011-12) and Italy (2011-13) represent the most obvious and shocking examples of the authoritarian trend.  Much more serious in the long term is the EU fiscal compact (officially named the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union).

This treaty, which came into effect at the beginning of 2013, severely limits the authority of national parliaments to set fiscal policy. The treaty and additional measures demanded by the German government remove fiscal policy from public control (with monetary policy in the hands of the European Central Bank and beyond national accountability). This process in which major decisions are taken away from the electorate fundamentally undermines public faith in the democratic process.

Explanation:

Authoritarian governments were able to flourish in the 1920s because democratic governments were failing especially in the late 1920s and early 1930s. On top of that socialism was spreading which scared many people and authoritarianism seemed like a better option than democracy for stopping socialism.

Authoritarian government is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting. Political scientists have created many typologies describing variations of authoritarian forms of government.

Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military. States that have a blurred boundary between democracy and authoritarianism have sometimes been characterized as "hybrid democracies", "hybrid regimes" or "competitive authoritarian" states.

Minimally defined, an authoritarian government lacks free and competitive direct elections to legislatures, free and competitive direct or indirect elections for executives, or both.

C. The family was the purpose of existence and thc heart of the social/cultural system.

Explanation:

Italian immigrants were very family-oriented to the point of making family the heart of their subculture. The reason is that Italians themselves are very family oriented in Italy and those who emigrated did not change this aspect of their culture.

This was also advantageous because families helped each other in such a difficult process as it is emigrating to a different country with very little or no property at all.

Answer:

Industrial Revolution, in modern history, the process of change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. This process began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. Although used earlier by French writers, the term Industrial Revolution was first popularized by the English economic historian Arnold Toynbee (1852–83) to describe Britain’s economic development from 1760 to 1840. Since Toynbee’s time the term has been more broadly applied.

The process of European colonization and the division of Africa among European powers took place during the late 19th century and lasted for several decades.

This period, known as the Scramble for Africa, began in the 1880s and continued until the early 20th century. European countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Portugal, rapidly expanded their territories and established colonies across Africa. By the early 1900s, virtually all of Africa south of the Sahara had been colonized, marking the completion of European domination over the continent.

The exact timeframe of this process varied across different regions and countries, but it generally took several decades for Europe to assert its control over the majority of Africa south of the Sahara.

Answer:

B. The speaker wants to win an election.

Explanation:

In the given passage from a speech, the speaker delves into the point of corruption which his opponent has accused him of. But the speaker counters the accusation by deflecting the same accusation at his opponent.

The speaker openly declares, imploring the audience "[to] remember on Election Day who the real honest politician is in this race. It's certainly not the man on the other side of the aisle trying to distract us from his own bad character." This deflection is done to point out the faults of the opponent and paint a good, much better picture/image of himself to garner support so that he can win the election.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer:

The village of Umuofia is the symbolic heart of Things Fall Apart, as well as the setting for much of the novel's action. Umuofia, where the protagonist, Okonkwo, lives for most of the novel, serves to represent Nigerian village society, both before and after contact with the colonizing forces of the British Empire.

The many rich traditions of the Umuofia clan guide the people of their society in 'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe. ... These time-honored practices encompass many areas of the people's lives, from how to arrange a marriage to how to be a good host.

The Umuofia follow a traditional ritual to determine a bride-price; the bride's family presents the groom's family with a sum (represented by broomsticks) and the other party adds or subtracts sticks as they see fit. They exchange the bundle of broomsticks several times, until the two groups finally agree.

Answer:

Reading words and symbols on a painting can be challenging because we must first comprehend the meanings of the symbols before connecting these meanings to the words to build a tale.

A painting is a kind of visual communication. We are confronted with a written text in literature, which is usually written in familiar words since we speak the language that appears on the page. Even though we can't see them, the characters we encounter in literature are usually recognizable human beings, and we can comprehend their dialogue because we've heard speech similar to theirs before.

When you look at a picture, you have to have a distinct set of expectations. An author can describe a landscape or a scene's setting, but an artist attempts to recreate it so that we can see it for ourselves. This raises challenges unique to painting, such as color, shape, texture, size, and the relationship between one group of figures or objects and another, all of which eventually coalesce into the work's style.

It is easier to read text on a page since they are organized in a logical manner. When an author utilizes descriptive words to appeal to the reader's bodily sensations, this is known as imagery. This aids the reader in comprehending what the characters are seeing, touching, tasting, smelling, or hearing, which helps to bring the story to life. When writing a story, authors choose their words carefully and decide how to structure them so that they are understood the way they desire. They not only aim to conjure pictures in the minds of their readers, but they also use the words on the page to establish patterns that lead to a deeper understanding of the text. This is what is referred to as language patterns.

In my view, when words are interpreted on a picture, the meaning is much enhanced since the image has a visual aspect to support it.  To comprehend the message that the artist was trying to send, I analyzed the phrases painted on the artwork.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. World War I.

Explanation:

A trench warfare is a war in which both sides have dug themselves opposite each other in trenches and other fortified positions, with the aim of halting the advance of the enemy, which culminates in a stalemate where neither side succeeds in breaking through the enemy lines. The best-known trench warfare is World War I.

In general, trench warfare is the result of technological advances that allow enemy soldiers to be killed faster than they can advance. For example, in World War I, repeating rifles, machine guns, and modern artillery made it possible to mow down soldiers in the open by bushes. However, as armies still moved largely on foot and horseback, they could not cross those same open battlefields fast enough to get close enough to the enemy and fire effectively at the enemy.
