History

Answer: B) Cornelius Vanderbilt and the $1 million endowment he gave to Vanderbilt University.

"Robber barons" were powerful businessmen of the 19th-century United States who made their fortunes through dubious practices. Some of these morally questionable strategies are monopolies, the formation of trusts, exploitation of workers, etc. Cornelius Vanderbilt is an example of this type of industrialist. Moreover, a donation to Vanderbilt University is likely to be seen by most people as a "philanthropic" or charitable act.

Why was a sum of money goods and property were also expected at marriage
slava [35]

The money and goods involved in a marriage are called <u>dowry</u>. The basic purpose of a dowry has been to bring some protection for the wife against violence and abuse by her husband and his family. Also, the dowry may serve to help the new couple to establish a home. This was more common in societies where the marriage of very young people has been arranged. Also, a dowry provides the wife with the resources in case of her man's death.

In the Middle Ages, the dowry had the function to enhance the value of a woman for marriage and increase power and wealth of great families. Dowries virtually disappeared in Europe in the XIX and XX century.

Write a 250-300 word script of a fictional debate between two opposing candidates. Include at least two examples a
Viktor [21]

Hally sits at the table to study and eat the lunch that Sam's served.

Sam looks at a doodle of Hally's teacher, Mr. Prentice, and Hally tells him he got six swats for drawing it.

Sam tells him about what it's like to be beaten by the police in jail. Hally doesn't dig the story.

Hally says he believes that social reformers will change the world so that people won't treat each other so badly in the future. Sam isn't so sure.

Hally's got some hope in progress, but admits that sometimes the world seems like a pretty terrible place.

Sam picks up Hally's math book and starts to read, with some help from Hally on the more technical words, like "magnitude."

Hally announces that he'll probably fail math, but that it doesn't matter because "examination results don't measure intelligence."

Sam kids Hally that he always says that whenever he's failed an exam.

The guys get into a discussion over which historical figures are men "of magnitude," who made a real difference in the world.

Sam suggests Napoleon, but Hally disagrees because even though Napoleon was historically significant, he wasn't a social reformer like his own hero, Charles Darwin.

Sam doesn't think that knowing the theory of evolution really benefits mankind. Hally's shocked that Sam doesn't appreciate how Darwin revolutionized science.

Sam still doesn't buy it, and says that Abraham Lincoln is a real man of magnitude.

Hally says he figures Sam would've said something like that.

He tells Sam he shouldn't be so stuck on Abraham Lincoln, since he's never been a slave or anything like that.

Really?

They go through a list of important people, including Tolstoy and Jesus Christ, all the while Hally being the little pretentious scholar.

Sam finally suggests Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin. Hally agrees that this is a real man of magnitude.

Sam and Hally reminisce on their five years studying together, Sam learning from Hally as he does his homework every night.

Sam remembers the first map Hally made of South Africa. Hally had proudly pointed out all the regions and their products.

Hally's amazed at Sam's memory. Sam says that Hally started passing his exams because he was trying to be better than him at geography, and they have a laugh.
