The Buddhism is a religion that has its roots in India. From India, it started to spread in the neighboring regions of Southeast Asia and East Asia, with the spreading going through the trade roots.
When this religion reached China, it seemed very appealing to the people, but very importantly, to the ruling class as well. The reasons as to why the Buddhism was so appealing to the Chinese were numerous, with some having bigger influence than others.
The Buddhism was a religion that promoted inner peace, and living a good quality life.
It was promoting equality in the society, and everyone was set to be on the same level.
This religion was promoting harmony between the humans and the environment, and that it is crucial that they coexist in perfect balance for the good of both sides.
The social order of pre-Revolutionary France was composed of three states: the 1st state was made up of clergymen, the 2nd state included all the nobility, and the 3rd state was formed by the rest of the population of France, including the peasantry, the bourgeoisie, and the city workers.
The experiences of the nobility and the bourgeoisie were very different during this period. The nobiity included around 1-2% of the population of the country. They were mostly exempt from taxes and for the most part, did not have a job. On the other hand, the bourgeoisie was a large percentage of the population, and carried a significant tax burden. This class was the most educated and wealthiest part of the 3rd State, and they resented the privileges of the nobles, in particular the tax exemptions. The conflict between these classes was a reason for the French Revolution.
Polk’s margin of victory was approximately 1.4 percent. :)
<u>ANSWER:</u>
The statement is false.
President Reagan fired fire-fighters in 1981 and not 1985 for an illegal strike.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- President Reagan stated that the strike was illegal and in violation of laws of work and professional ethics.
- The President also issued a warning to the fire-fighters over their strike and threatened to fire them if they did not return to work within 48 hours.
- The workers did not return to work and so were fired and lost their jobs as a result.
The correct answer in my opinion would be that D is the most important factor here. But this question is quite tricky.
We can surely say for example that literature, organized schools and a hierarchy of priests are not something that constitute a civilization. Organized schools appeared to late, not every civilization had literature and having only a hierachy of priests is not enough to say you have a civilizaton.
Labor has been divided in pre-civilization hunter-gatherer societies as well.
For that reason I'd say the correct answer is D - more food than is needed for survival. Having this, the people in a certain group can focus on other things.
