What was considered middle age in the early 1800s?

History
1 answer:
zvonat [6]3 years ago
6 0
Life expectancy around the year 1800 was only about 36 years, so "middle age" (or median of lifespans) would be only about 17 or 18 years of age.  By the time young people reached their late teens, they typically were expected to be working, married and carrying adult responsibilities.  

Those life expectancy numbers can be a little misleading, though.  A main reason that average life expectancy was only in the mid-30s is because infant mortality rates were very high.  For persons who survived their childhood into adulthood, there was a good chance they lived to a much older age than 30-something.

How did attitudes towards credit and consumerism change in the 1920s
KiRa [710]
Since people were given the option to "get now and pay later" with credit cards, more purchases were made and more people from every class were able to afford the same things. Consumerism was booming and the economy had a greater circulation of money, which was different to before when only the wealthy had certain things. I hope this answer helps

Describe 5 aspects shared by Athenian Democracy and US democracy
Ira Lisetskai [31]
I don't think I can come up with 5.

1. Both have a system of voting to decide major issues like whether or not to go to war. The difference is in who can vote. Mostly it was an issue of property in Athens. You had to own property to be able to vote. Foreigners and women were not given the vote. 

2. It was a citizen's duty to debate the issues in Athens. America, when I was growing up, had a similar stance. I believe it is more repressive now. 

3. The vote, once completed, was what was done. That idea in America ended with Gore vs Bush over the Florida election. And now all that can be debated is Trump. I'm not fond of the man, but I also don't like the fact that people are "at war" about whether or not he should stay in office. The cry is for impeachment, especially from some democrats. There is little hint of cooperation in that. Before all this, though once elected, a president (with the exception of Nixon) could look forward to a modicum of cooperation. 

That's about what I can come up with.
