Social Studies

Keith_Richards [23]2 years ago
5 0

The Portuguese and other Europeans were motivated to find new routes to Asia because they were in reaction to the Ottomans capturing Constantinople and expanding their influence in the Mediterranean.

Finding a new sea route to India was the major goal. During the period, some Arab powers and Venice were the only parties involved in the trade of Indian-origin spices like cinnamon, pepper, and others, which were consumed in large quantities in Europe. The Portuguese discovered that beginning to ship these spices over the ocean allowed Portuguese merchants to sell them for much less, but with a significant profit because there was no payment for intermediary services. Although it seems insignificant now, back then it was a major event.

How does the relationship between siblings typically change from adolescence to adulthood? the siblings tend to become closer?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
<span>During the adolescent stages in life, things seem so much bigger than they are. You can view that in the positive light or the negative to be honest. As a child, you see your siblings as another human who lives in your home with you, eats the same food, breathes the same air, loves the same parents as you. You fight over the remote control and wrestle with one another over a small toy you both insisted on needing at the same time. Within the next breath, you sit next to them and talk about your day, ask them to defend you from a so called friend who uses your kindness for weakness as your sibling reminds you of why you are so imortant in this life and deserve to be noticed for that... Swingsets, bike rides to the store, a companion who is always there to listen about how mom and dad "just aren't fair!" Fast forward to 30 years old. Life interferes with the time spent together, the playtime becomes few and far between and the bike rides are a distant memory. The things that stay though...those are very similar to my first statements on childhood with them. The love, support and time spent doesn't need to disapear. It turns into a mature type of love. You call one another every few days to check in. Make a coffee date to catch up on her latest life experience and remind them that you are always here. Those bike rides though? Now you can take them together with your own children.</span>

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Language

Explanation:

A language is a system that is a combination of arbitrary symbols that can produce an infinite number of meaningful statements. Language defined by the Britannica Encyclopedia is “a system of conventional spoken or written symbols that has meaning to the participants of a specific culture”. As stated before, we use different symbols to create a word that means something to us. Each symbol has each own pronunciation as well as each word. The most interesting part is that each language is very different from each other. There are other symbols and other meanings to words. In conclusion, we can state that with language we have an infinite form of communication; we just need to learn the rules of each language.

How well did andrew jackson promote democracy?
galben [10]
"I would give him a score of about 5 out of 10, which was a vast improvement over John Q. Adams and his cronies. If you were a poor, white male, he was your guy. He greatly democratized the process of elections in that era and was our first grassroots president. However, Jackson usually did what Jackson wanted to do, even if it meant alienating many of the people who got him elected. He did not side with Southerners during the nullification crisis and was prepared to use troops against South Carolina to enforce a law that most Southerners hated. He blatantly ignored John Marshall’s decision in Worcester v. Georgia, but an argument could be made here that he was acting in favor of democracy in this case, as most white Southerners probably wanted the Cherokee moved off of their land. He was a very complex and fascinating guy, but his critics called him King Andrew for a reason." -Robert Marshall
