History

Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
8 0
Elie Wiesel was a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1986. Wiesel was an American-Jew who survived of the Nazi genocide in World War II. He wrote about his and other Jewish's people's experiences of suffering during the Holocaust.  

The quote "<span>"if we forget, we are accomplices" is from Wiesel's Noble Prize of Peace award acceptance speech. The quote means that staying neutral, silent and not taking action in the face of oppression or suffering imposed by others, we are basically accomplices, making our suffering endure.</span>

What troubles was Germany facing in the 1920s that led many people (including Adolf Hitler) to join or support the Nazi Party?
ankoles [38]

Economic - During World War 1, the German economy was completely decimated. Massive hyperinflation there is so terrible that when employees receive three daily paychecks, their spouses merely spend the money on everything they can since prices are so high. And although its economy was in ruin, Germany had to provide reparations to the people it was fighting. And to top it all off, there is the great depression.

Political - Although it is far from the truth, the Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to take full responsibility for the war. The pact also required Germany to lose a sizable portion of its territory to neighboring nations including Poland, France, Belgium, and a few others. German speakers and people of German descent populated several of these countries. It becomes worse since one of Woodrow Wilson's 14 principles called for self-determination for all nations save Germany, including Austro-Hungary, a German ally.

Social - The aforementioned political motives caused many Germans to feel exploited for other people's political objectives. So it should come as no surprise that they chose a radical candidate when you repress a people like that.

50 POINTS!! plss helpWhat are the components of the Eightfold Path of Buddhism?
Firdavs [7]
Answer:

1.) The components of the eightfold path of Buddhism are divided among the three forms of training as follows; correct action, correct speech, correct livelihood, are part of the training in ethics; correct effort, correct mindfulness, and correct concentration are included in the training in concentration; and correct view.

2.) They are advised to abstain from using foul language, lying, slandering, gossiping and backbiting to promote right speech.

3.) The three jewels of Buddhism are Buddha, the fully Enlightened one. The Dharma, the teachings expounded by the Buddha. The Sangha, the monastic order of Buddhism that practice Dharma.

4.) The two primary divisions in Buddhism are the Theravada Buddhism and the Mahayana Buddhism.

5.) In Buddhism and Christianity, both worship only one god. But in Buddhism, there aren’t really any supernatural elements.

6.) The religion’s founder was Buddha, and is considered to be an extraordinary man but not a god. The word Buddha means ‘enlightened’ Buddha’s sole purpose was to spread the religion and enlighten everybody by having them utilize morality, meditate, and gain wisdom.

7.) Thailand is predominantly Buddhist. The country has been influenced by the religion over hundreds of years. Since it arrived, it has enriched the lives of the natives. They were given the nickname “The land of yellow robes” for the amount of Buddhist monks. For the most part, Buddhism made lives of the Thais more purposeful and caused more variances in their art and style of expression.

8.) It’s hard to get a solid estimate of Buddhist followers because some of the countries they reside in are considered atheist, so the numbers are rarely reported. Also, it can be difficult to distinguish between real practicing Buddhists from people who are merely just incorporating Buddhists ideas into their life.

9.) It’s compatible with other religions because it lacks strict rules. It’s doesn’t really have rituals or tradition as well as no real chain of authority. Buddhism also doesn’t clash with other religions because it’s not a pure religion, it can also pass as a philosophy which makes it more possible to have coinciding beliefs.

It took me a while but I’m done ✅

Glad to be of help :))
