During the Middle Ages, victims of the imaginary illness "dancing manias" lost all inhibitions and whirled wildly through the st

reets. During the twentieth century, modern Americans fell prey to the misdeeds of a "phantom anesthetist" who entered homes and gassed the inhabitants. According to your text, how is mass psychogenic illness most different today from how it was in the Middle Ages

Answer:

<h3>Today, mass psychogenic illness normally develops through the fear of a viral outbreak and other biological factors.</h3>

Explanation:

Unlike the past, today mass psychogenic illness does not develop through customs or ritualized behaviors. The "Dancing Manias" of the Middle Ages was believed to have caused due to religious beliefs like a curse sent by a godly entity or a punishment from the God.

However, modern mass psychogenic illness usually develops through the fear of a viral outbreak or other biological factors. Mass hysteria of being contracted with a certain disease or illness is mostly believed by the victims. They do not trace their illness to any supernatural elements but rather believes it as something man-made or a viral outbreak.

yanalaym [24]

This sounds like Alonzo Herndon.

Alonzo Herndon (1858 - 1927) was born into slavery in Georgia, and was emancipated following the end of the American Civil War. He worked a series of difficult physical jobs with his family but set aside some savings to use in the future. In 1878, with $11 in savings and only a year of formal education, Herndon moved to Coweta County and learned to be a barber. A few months later he opened his first barbershop in Jonesboro. His barbershop earned a good reputation and in 1883, Herndon moved to Atlanta after finding a job at a barbershop there.

By 1904, Herndon owned 3 barbershops in Atlanta, all very well regarded. With his money, he began investing in real estate. He ended up purchasing more than 100 houses, as well as a block of commercial real estate; at the time of his death, his real estate's total value was $325,000.

Herndon was also a responsible local leader who involved himself a lot with the community. He was a generous philanthropist as well.

What form of discrimination most directly affected mexican americans?
murzikaleks [220]
Highly demanding physical labor for 13+ hours. They were payed the dirt they stood on, children were forced to miss school most of the time because they had to work to support the family. They were also highly expendable, so no medical care was offered, and they were ignored from any complaints. They were basically ignored, and couldn't do anything about it in fear of deportation of their families.

Also, racism and all that affects how they were treated.

But things like the Mexican Repatriation is something to look into. So i definitely suggest it!

Why was is so difficult for U.S. troops to prevent supplies from reaching the viet cong
ElenaW [278]
Because the supplies were being given from the Russians which had a underground network (both literally and figuratively) that transported weapons through out the country were the US could not attack.
Also, the Ho Chi Min trail was located in Cambodia which the US did not AT FIRST want to attack, and so it gave almost a clear safe path for both the Russians and NVA to get guns into South Vietnamese. Then from there, they would be given to the Viet Cong (who were underground). And then the Viet Cong would either use them, or give them to South Vietnamese people who were North Vietnamese or Communist sympathizers.
