The first, known as the Calendar Round, was based on two overlapping annual cycles: a 260-day sacred year and a 365-day secular year. Under this system, each day was assigned four pieces of identifying information: a day number and day name in the sacred calendar and a day number and month name in the secular calendar. Every 52 years counted as a single interval, or Calendar Round. After each interval the calendar would reset itself like a clock.


The Maya strongly believed in the influence of the cosmos on daily life. Consequently, Mayan knowledge and understanding of celestial bodies was advanced for their time: For example, they knew how to predict solar eclipses. They also used astrological cycles to aid in planting and harvesting and developed two calendars that are as precise as those we use today.

How do Communism and Maoism differ between the philosophy's goal, who it appeals to and if it is a nationalist philosophy or not
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Marxist Communism main difference with Maoism is the source of the revolution and its extent. In Marxist-Communism the proletariat revolution starts in the cities and industrial areas, trying to achieve control over the means of production. In Maoism, the revolution starts in rural areas and does not require an advanced industry to happen.  

The difference is historically important, according to Marx, the proletarian revolution arises inevitably from the class struggle between the Capitalist and the Proletariat. For Marxist-Communism, the revolution emerges from a crisis of advanced capitalism. In Maoism, the revolution can emerge before there is any kind of advanced capitalism.

Marxist-Communism is much more based on historical materialism or the understanding of history and society through the economy. Maoism rejects some of the dogmas of historical materialism.

 

In a sense, Maoism is more nationalistic because it emerged from practice in the specific conditions of China. It also has a different relationship with the west because it rejects, in principle, industrial development and capitalism as a necessary stage.

Why might france have resisted the freedom movement in Algeria?
sesenic [268]
Algeria was a French colony back in the day, so obviously no colonial country would want any of its colonies to gain independence. Just take a look at Britain and America - America consisted mostly of colonists from England who then decided they wanted freedom to become a separate country. Algeria used to belong to France, which means that all of its resources and money also belonged to France, which is something it didn't want to lose.
