The correct answer is A) Both groups were treated unfairly and unequally compared with men of their class.

The statement that best describes a similarity between upper- and lower-class women during the Industrial Revolution is "Both groups were treated unfairly and unequally compared with men of their class."

During the Industrial Revolution, many men from the rural areas of the United States migrated to the North because all the industries and fabrics were there. Some women stayed at home to raise children and took care of the family. Others also migrated and got jobs in the fabrics because they needed the money to support their children. Unfortunately for women, they were not valued the same as men. Women were paid low wages.

What event during this time may have sparked this newfound independence of women and ushered in an ear of adopting more modern s

hjlf

There were not just one event, but many important ones that sparked the independence of women and with that, a modern era of societal values.

By the 1920's, post World War I occurrence open opportunities for young American women. For instance, The Flapper was a new fashion with some natural elegance. Women wore hats, waistless dresses a little bit above the knees, silk stockings and sleek fashion shoes.

Regarding labor, many work opportunities were created due to the industrial economy in factories, offices and new professions.

The 60's really catapulted feminism and a new set of values for women. The Federal Drug Administration approved the firts "Pill" for birth control(1960), President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order called "Commission on Status of Women"(1961), and the "Equal Pay Act"(1963).

In 1970, Title IX of Education Amendments prohibits discrimination in schools. In 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman seated on the Supreme Court. In 1993, the Supreme Court rules that sexual harassment in the workplace was illegal.

And finally, in 2005, Condoleezza Rice was the first black woman Secretary of State, and in 2017, Hillary Rodham Clinton ran for the Presidency of the U.S.

Write a paragraph or two in which you note how Cornavirus and the Black Death are different and how they are similar.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the mid-14th century, the Black Death killed up to 50% of Europe's population.

The current death toll from corona-virus-19 stands at more than 3,000 worldwide.

700 years after the Black Death, the spread of misinformation and xenophobia is markedly similar.

Although some media outlets have begun referring to the outbreak of the novel corona virus as a “modern plague”, the threat of corona virus remains negligible compared with historic outbreaks of plague. The latest World Health Organization report puts the corona virus death toll at just over 3,000 globally, whereas the Black Death was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 30-50% of Europe’s population in the mid-14th century. The most disturbing similarity between the two lies not in the diseases themselves but in their social consequences. Then, as now, outbreaks were blamed on certain ethnic groups.

As far as we know, the Black Death originated in or near China. It then followed pilgrimage routes throughout the Middle East, eventually entering Europe through trade routes from Italy. As with corona virus, plague outbreaks led to the enforced quarantine of infected households and the creation of specialist task forces that monitored and controlled contagion.
