Answer:
Many Americans in the 1930s supported a policy of isolationism because they did not want the US to be pulled into another war in the way that the country had (they felt) been pulled into World War I. ... Because of this, they wanted policies that would avoid this sort of problem happening again.
Explanation:
The Taiping Rebellion was a civil war that occurred in China between the ruling Qing dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was a state located in Tianjin who opposed the ruling dynasty. This conflict lasted around 14 years. From 1850 to 1864 CE.
The major motivation for the revolution was the conversion of Chinese society, including reforms like the introduction of Christianism and changes in government policy. The leader of the revolution named Hong Xiuquan was a converted Christian and he also claimed he was the brother of Jesus Christ. The conflict is considered as the bloodiest in history, with a total death toll ranging from 70 million to 100 million.
The outcome of the revolution was the defeat of the Heavenly Kingdom in 1864 and subsequent vanquishing of God worshippers. by the Qing Dynasty. However, it also led to a loss of power by the central government in regards to the provinces and the rising of provincial armies.
REGRESSIVE ... lower income
So the full sentence would read: <span>With a regressive, the tax rate decreases as income increases. Lower income individuals bear a greater burden with this type of tax.
An example of a regressive tax would be a sales tax on everyday items. Lower income individuals must spent a higher percentage of their income on basic necessities, so sales taxes on necessary items takes from them a higher percentage of their income than is the case for wealthy individuals. If there are higher rates of tax on luxury items (like yachts or luxury cars) that are purchased only by higher-income people, that would not be regressive. But otherwise sales taxes affect a greater percentage of the poor's income than the rich.
Another example (and another consumption tax) would be taxes on gasoline. Think of two commuters who both drive 30 miles a day to get to work, in cars that get similar gas mileage. If one of those persons makes $100,000 a year, and the other person has a job that earns only $25,000 a year, the person earning $25,000 a year is paying the same amount in gas taxes as the person making $100,000 a year. That's a regressive tax.
[A detail to note: Americans on average across the country pay about 50 cents in taxes that is included in the price of each gallon of gas purchased.]</span>

How were the Mexican Americans portrayed in the Mass Media?
Unfortunately, Mexican Americans not always receive the best coverage in the news.
It seems that is a lot of stereotyping and prejudice when talking about Mexican Americans. They are not portrayed in the best way possible because most of the time, mass media shares the story of poor Mexican immigrants that had to cross the border legally or illegally, and started to work in the United States in low paid jobs such as gardening, plumbing, or in the construction industry. Jobs that most American people would reject.
The stereotype is that these people are lazy and like to party a lot, not being responsible to assume their labor commitments.
But the truth is that these Mexican Americans are very hard-working people because they have to make ends meet working in two different jobs to try to make a decent living for their families. Indeed, these people have helped the US economy to grow, forming an important social group that in recent years has captured the interest of political candidates during elections.
