5 0
Ancient Mesopotamia centered on the ancient kingdom of Babylon and consisted, politically, of a series of city-states. Notable among them were Lagash, Akkad, Erech and Ur. It later flourished again under the Assyrians. The religion of the entire Tigris-Euphrates valley really was one religions, but it consisted of local gods. Dominant gods were determined by dominant cities. For example, when Babylon achieved dominance, Marduk, otherwise known as Bel or Baal, was regarded as king of the gods. The priests were very powerful. The mythology of Babylon was elaborated by the Assyrians and preserved in handwriting on cuneiform tablets. it included stories about a great flood covering the whole world and the story of Ishtar going to the underworld. 
Babylonian religion was strongly influenced by the Sumerian culture, which placed a lot of emphasis on high towers and was believed to have worshiped high places.

How were Native parents and children impacted by the U.S. government policy of assimilation through boarding schools?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

Boarding schools basically ripped kids away from their parents and forced them to attend boarding schools which were supposed to help them become more "civilized" and assimilate with the rest of the euro-american society. The schools taught skills that were way below the standards, and thus these kids could not function well in the society. These kids were also ripped from their homes so they did not fit well with their own society as they had little to no knowledge of their own culture. These schools were also full of sexual abuse, physical abuse, trauma, emotional abuse, and even scientific testing.

Thus, in short, these schools had extremely negative impact on native children as well as on native parents. These parents witnessed their kids getting ripped from them but could not do anything to stop it, thus suffered from emotional suffering from separation.

What does Winston write in his diary as he recalls the Two Minutes Hate? Book:1984
anygoal [31]

Answer: Winston writes about the loss of individuality.

Explanation:

Winston's interpretation is a great parallel to today's modern world. Winston writes about a man, a world plunged into hatred, points out that our individuality has disappeared, that our every movement is being followed around Big Brother. In the Winston diary, he recalls a two-minute hatred, he sees Emmanuel Goldstein as the enemy system. In a moment of hatred, Winston realizes that he hates Big Brother. Winston begins to glorify freedom in all its forms, freedom of the media, opinions, freedom of man.

Winston's thoughts, expressed in "two minutes of hatred," perfectly capture the real-world picture of an individual lost, missing, drowning in mass. The lesson we can draw from his diaries is that every individual is important. Every opinion is important and Winston encourages us to think, Winston wants to tell us that the views of the masses do not necessarily have to be true and moral.

What was one of the first things President Hoover did to combat the effects of the Great Depression?
Rasek [7]

He did nothing, thinking the economic crisis would mend itself with time.

Hoover was a laissez-faire Republican who believed the government should not interfere with the economy.

Hoover's approach to the Great Depression was to do nothing initially. He believed it was a normal part of the boom-bust economic cycle. As the Depression moved on, Hoover used a method of volunteerism. Volunteerism asked those with money to give to others and to invest their money back into the banks and job creation.
