IN THE PAST 3-5 YEARS HOW HAVE YOU SEEN THE<br> AMERICAS CHANGE?
Triss [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Americans are more racially and ethnically diverse than in the past, and the U.S. is projected to be even more diverse in the coming decades.

Women’s role in the labor force and leadership positions has grown dramatically.

The world is aging. The demographic future for the U.S. and the world looks very different than the recent past. Growth from 1950 to 2010 was rapid — the global population nearly tripled, and the U.S. population doubled.

Christians are declining as a share of the U.S. population, and the number of U.S. adults who do not identify with any organized religion has grown.

The share of Americans who live in middle class households is shrinking

The American family is changing. After decades of declining marriage rates, the share of American adults who have never been married is at an historic high.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The title of this story Master Harold and the boys is symbolic. The title suggests a hierarchy. This play has been written in the South African context. The setting of the story has been South Africa. Master Harold, a seventeen year old boy, is a white. But the boys who are matures men of the forties are black and have been working in the restaurant of Hally. The boys, though grownups are called boys only on the ground of their dark complexion. But it is strange to hear a seventeen year old boy as Master Harold. The names of the boys are, respectively, Sam and Willie. They are waiters in the restaurant. The title symbolizes the racial discrimination of South Africa. South Africa was the country where the apartheid law was creating two states within a nation, state of blacks and state of whites in a nation. Racism was creating a boundary between two states. The play examines the effects of apartheid system, it is about love and hate relationship.

Map A on this webpage shows a land use model for the railroad age. Explain how this model is similar to the Von Thunen model, an
Lelechka [254]
The Von Thunen model has an epicenter which is the center of a settlement. The model shown has a center area and grows outward just like the Von Thunen model. All the important goods are closer together while the forest and non important goods are farther outward. The new map makes the assumptions of goods are carried out by railroads and the climate and soil quality are the same throughout the map but may vary depending on specific areas very much like the Von Thunen Model. 

Hope this helps. I'm on this question too so I could be wrong but at least I tried.
