Pericles' famous Funeral Oration, recorded by historian Thucydides in his book History of the Peloponnesian War (431 BC - 404 BC) , was delivered at the end of 431 BC as part of an annual public funeral for the war dead.

In his seech he broke away from tradition by skipping the military achievements of the city-state and dwelling on the city's cultural and academic qualities, its government system, its freedoms and the character of the athenian citizen. In the fourth paragraph he states:

<em>"Further, we provide plenty of means for the mind to refresh itself from business. We celebrate games and sacrifices all the year round, and the elegance of our private establishments forms a daily source of pleasure and helps to banish the spleen; while the magnitude of our city draws the produce of the world into our harbour, so that to the Athenian the fruits of other countries are as familiar a luxury as those of his own." </em>

We may indeed conclude that the content and direction of his speech gives an indication of his and his culture's appreciation for the citizen and his liberties, the city's vibrant cultural atmostphere and its cosmopolitan attitude, drawing these conclusions from the arguments he presents.

Answer:

    Pericles was an emperor of Athens. He was one of those responsible for the Peloponnesian war. The war was one of the consequences of Pericles' imperialism. The city of Sparta revolted against the domination of Athens, which had remained as administrator of the confederation of Delos. This confederation was a union between the Greek cities to fight the attack of the Persians.

    In his speech Péricles talks about the spirit, since he says that the Athenians try to relieve their minds from business and work, with the celebration of games and making sacrifices. Pericles makes comparisons between the Athenian and the Spartan people, always praising Athens' politics and lifestyle.

In your local newspaper, you read an editorial supporting a local building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollar
Mrrafil [7]

D. that she may profit from the building project

Look at the evidence within the question information. The author has 20 years of experience in construction and owns a local construction company. So if the city or town is considering a building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollars, the author of the editorial quite possibly hopes to bid for some of that construction work. It would be very good for her business.

Now, the fact that a construction company owner favors the building initiative doesn't mean her views should be rejected simply because of her position in the construction industry. If her views are valid and provide solid arguments in favor of the project, those views should be considered on their merits. At the same time, perspectives from other local citizens should be considered too, in terms of environmental impact of the project, costs and affordability, how the building initiative will benefit residents of the community, etc.

What effects did the Declaration of Independence have on the revolutionary war?
storchak [24]

The declaration was a laundry list of affronts to the colonies by King George III, wherein Jefferson et.al. argued that since the monarchy did not treat the colonists like other Britons, the colonists had the right to form their own sovereign nation. It was also intended to justify this action to other monarchies to prevent them from helping Britain retain the colonies under the doctrine of Intervention. So it helped to justify the war domestically and internationally.

What are arguments that support the annexation of Hawaii?
Tju [1.3M]

America's annexation of Hawaii in 1898 extended U.S. territory into the Pacific and highlighted resulted from economic integration and the rise of the United States as a Pacific power. For most of the 1800s, leaders in Washington were concerned that Hawaii might become part of a European nation's empire. During the 1830s, Britain and France forced Hawaii to accept treaties giving them economic privileges. In 1842, Secretary of State Daniel Webster sent a letter to Hawaiian agents in Washington affirming U.S. interests in Hawaii and opposing annexation by any other nation. He also proposed to Great Britain and France that no nation should seek special privileges or engage in further colonization of the islands. In 1849, the United States and Hawaii concluded a treaty of friendship that served as the basis of official relations between the parties.

A key provisioning spot for American whaling ships, fertile ground for American protestant missionaries, and a new source of sugar cane production, Hawaii's economy became increasingly integrated with the United States. An 1875 trade reciprocity treaty further linked the two countries and U.S. sugar plantation owners from the United States came to dominate the economy and politics of the islands. When Queen Liliuokalani moved to establish a stronger monarchy, Americans under the leadership of Samuel Dole deposed her in 1893. The planters' belief that a coup and annexation by the United States would remove the threat of a devastating tariff on their sugar also spurred them to action. The administration of President Benjamin Harrison encouraged the takeover, and dispatched sailors from the USS Boston to the islands to surround the royal palace. The U.S. minister to Hawaii, Joh

Dole sent a delegation to Washington in 1894 seeking annexation, but the new President, Grover Cleveland, opposed annexation and tried to restore the Queen. Dole declared Hawaii an independent republic. Spurred by the nationalism aroused by the Spanish-American War, the United States annexed Hawaii in 1898 at the urging of President William McKinley. Hawaii was made a territory in 1900, and Dole became its first governor. Racial attitudes and party politics in the United States deferred statehood until a bipartisan compromise linked Hawaii's status to Alaska, and both became states in 1959.

n L. Stevens, worked closely with the new government.
