The change in immigration policies between the 1920 and 1960 reveals a discriminatory Immigration policy in the United States.

In 1921, the Congress enacted the Emergency Quota Act, which set national immigration quotas, followed by the Immigration Act of 1924 which pointed at further restricting immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, particularly Jews, Italians, and Slavs, and consolidated the prohibition of Asian immigration.

The U.S. government sponsored a Mexican Repatriation program between 1929 and 1936, which was intended to encourage people to voluntarily move to Mexico, but thousands were deported against their will. Most of the Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis and World War II were barred from coming to the United States. In the post-war era, the Justice Department launched Operation Wetback, under which Mexicans were deported in 1954.

Which statement best illustrates Siddhartha Gautama’s view toward wealth?
34kurt

The BEST answer is:

d. Gautama believed that he could best help others by giving up his wealth.

While there certainly is truth to answer C (as selected by the other respondent), Siddhartha Gautama's view toward wealth was more than a passive realization that it did not bring happiness. Even more so it was an active view that translated into action, giving up one's wealth to benefit others. He said of wealth, "A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure; but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit."

Siddhartha Gautama is known as "The Buddha" (the "Enlightened One"). The details about his life history are debated by scholars, but we know the historical personage of Siddhartha Gautama as a teacher in ancient India around the 5th or 6th century BC. Buddhism is patterned after his teachings.
