Which development directly allowed for the keeping of records? Explain

1 answer:

3 0

The development of writing system directly allowed record keeping and, in turn, it remains the main source historians rely on when doing research.

The first known writing system is called cuneiform and was first developed around the eighth millenium BCE. Such system, which served as a form of record keeping in Mesopotamia, used clay tokens to represent individual products. As time passed, markings were used on the tokens that led to pictographic writing. Record keeping as well as writing were developed due to the need to account for agricultural products and the growth of trade.

As history shows, writing developed over time in an inevitable way from logographic, to syllabic, to alphabetical systems.

Nowadays, it would be difficult, if not imposible, to study about ancient cultures, such as the early life of Mesopotanians, without the development of writing.

You are an eyewitness to a crime: A man has robbed a bank, but instead of keeping the money for himself, he donates it to a poor

True [87]

Answer:

The following steps in Ethical Decision Making Process would be adopted:

1. State the problem, and determine facts.

The problem here is stealing to finance the poor in the society (orphanage). The available facts are: A man robbed a bank and donates the money to the poor, the motives behind this is unknown since he didn't steal for his purse. It is not good to make assumptions so as to arrive at a good decision.

2. Check the ethical issues to be solved in the problem.

The ethical issue is stealing which conflicts with a society's moral principles. But, the positive is giving to the poor which is good the source of the money is however illegal.

3. Take a closer look at those affected.

The robber, the bank, poor orphanage, the society as a whole would be affected by my decisions.

4. Identify all decisions that you could take, their consequences, and make a decision.

Any decision I take would affect the robber who might be jailed and the orphans could lose the money or the Bank would remain affected, some bankers might be affected depending on the law and how the crime happened, and I would lose my good ethical values and breach the law if I should remain silent.

I would report to the authorities this would be a good decision because:

i. The bank would be saved.

ii. It could increase greater ethical values in the society.

iii. That's the right thing to do because irrespective of the good motive of a crime that doesn't remove the crime committed.

iv. The poor orphanage could receive financial support from people in the society.

Explanation:

Ethical decision-making gives one the freedom of choosing the right ethical principles among several other ethical principles. The goal is to make one do the right thing, stand for the right thing regardless of the risk, and to be consistent in applying great moral values that are consistent with good citizenship.

The 'Ethical Decision Making Process' steps to apply in the situation mentioned above include:

1. State the problem, and determine facts.

2. Check the ethical issues to be solved in the problem.

3. Take a closer look at those affected.

4. Identify all decisions that you could take and their consequences.

5. Apply the Ethical principles to the options.

6. Make a decision.

Answer:

Massachusetts

Explanation:

Massachusetts was the state that argued that the slaves should be allowed to join the Union army. This was also significant for the slaves as it is believed in some circles that it was the end to slavery which led to the war. Also, the 54th Massachusetts infantry unit did induct slaves as soldiers in 1863. Hence, Massachusetts is the right answer to this.
