These are the seven wonders of the ancient world:

The Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt was constructed between 2584 and 2561 BC.  It is located in Giza, Egypt. Pyramids were made to serve as tomb for the pharaohs and their queens. In this case it was built for Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu or Cheops. It is believed by some that the architect was Hemiunu also known as Hemon.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were build between 605-562 BC by King Nebuchadnezzar II as a gift to his wife. They were located in the ancient city of Babylon in Iraq.  

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Greece was built from 430 to 422 BC by a Greek sculptor named Phidias.  It was placed in the Temple at Olympia Greece. It was made to honor Zeus the king of Greek gods. The statue was later carried to Constantinople where it was later destroyed by an earthquake.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was completed by 550 BC, it took 120 years to built. It was located in Ephesus, a Greek colony in Asia Minor, now in western Turkey. It was sponsored by the King Croesus of Lydia with the purpose of honoring Artemis, one of the three main goddesses of Olympus.  

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was built in 351 BC it is in Halicarnassus, Persia (now Turkey). It was the tomb of Persian Satrap Mausolus. It was built by his wife Artemisia II. It was used as the tomb of Mausolus and later the ashes of his wife Artemisa were entombed with him in the mausoleum. The structure was designed by Greek architects Satyros and Pythius of Priene.

The Colossus of Rhodes is a statue of the god Helios, the patron god of the island of Rhodes, Greece.  It was built between 292 and 280 BC by Chares of Lindos.  It was made to celebrate Rhodes’ victory over the ruler of Cyprus.  

The Lighthouse of Alexandria, located in the island of Pharos, Egypt. Construction was completed around 280 BC.  It was built in the island of Pharos ordered by Ptolemy Soter. Its purpose was to serve as a lighthouse or guide for ships getting into the busy harbor of Alexandria, Egypt.  It was one of the tallest man made structures of the ancient world.

Write a detailed entry about racial inequality
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

racial inequality is not necessarily the same thing as racism, though the two do often go hand in hand. Perhaps it would be fair to say that racism is defined by a prejudice towards a group of people based on their race or ethnicity, and racial inequality is the result of that prejudice. For example, while it would be hard to point towards the racism of any one individual to account for the disparity between wealth in white families, and wealth in black families, it is nevertheless certainly an example of racial inequality. The fact that average black people have less money than white people is very plainly a result of lack of opportunity.

After all, we know quite plainly that while western culture (particularly the United States) values the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps narrative”, it is ultimately usually generational wealth that wins the day.

The racial inequality, in this case, is a result of the fact that African Americans started as slaves in this country, and then suffered through Jim Crowe laws, and other circumstance that contributed to a difficulty in establishing a foothold in prosperous circumstance.

It is important to note that situations of racial inequality do not necessarily pertain to every member of a given race. For example, not all African Americans struggle economically, and not all Caucasians prosper financially. In fact, there are countless examples of each case where the exact opposite is true. When people refer to racial inequality, they are talking about patterns that all too often manifest themselves in our society.

What type of economy is Italy?
Nady [450]

Answer:

Italy has a diversified industrial economy, which is divided into a developed industrial north, dominated by private companies, and a less-developed, welfare-dependent, agricultural south, with high unemployment. The Italian economy is driven in large part by the manufacture of high-quality consumer goods produced by small and medium-sized enterprises, many of them family owned.

Italy also has a sizable underground economy, which by some estimates accounts for as much as 15% of GDP. These activities are most common within the agriculture, construction, and service sectors. Italy has moved slowly on implementing needed structural reforms, such as reducing graft, overhauling costly entitlement programs, and increasing employment opportunities for young workers, particularly women.

The international financial crisis worsened conditions in Italy’s labor market, with unemployment rising from 6.2% in 2007 to 8.4% in 2010, but in the longer-term Italy’s low fertility rate and quota-driven immigration policies will increasingly strain its economy. A rise in exports and investment driven by the global economic recovery nevertheless helped the economy grow by about 1% in 2010 following a 5% contraction in 2009.

The Italian government has struggled to limit government spending, but Italy’s exceedingly high public debt remains above 115% of GDP, and its fiscal deficit—just 1.5% of GDP in 2007—exceeded 5% in 2009 and 2010, as the costs of servicing the country’s debt rose.

Labor force: 25.54 million (2015 est.)

Labor force by occupation:

Agriculture: 3.9%

Industry: 28.3%

Services: 67.8% (2011)

Exports: $454.6 billion (2015 est.)

Export commodities: Engineering products, textiles and clothing, production machinery, motor vehicles, transport equipment, chemicals; food, beverages and tobacco; minerals, and nonferrous metals.

Imports: $389.2 billion (2015 est.)

Import commodities: Engineering products, chemicals, transport equipment, energy products, minerals and nonferrous metals, textiles and clothing; food, beverages, and tobacco.
