<u>3) Glittering Generalities</u>
Glittering Generalities is a propaganda technique that uses words that are vague, abstract and ambiguous but attractive at the same time as they are associated with valued belief, ideal or concepts that usually trigger powerful emotions in people, and are acclaim by many.
Theses words are usually accepted and acclaim by many, without the need of much examination or explanation of the concept. Use linguistic patterns such as alliteration, metaphor, and reversals that turn your words into poetry that flows and rhymes in hypnotic patterns.
"Peace, prosperity, and progress" is a great example of this propaganda, as it expresses high ideals that tend to appeal to people's emotions, although it doesn't provide any specific concept of what they actually mean or reason that supports the phrase.
Others examples of glittering generalities are "freedom", "honor", "hope", "common good", "democracy", "strength", "dignity", and "love".
The Marbury v Madison (1803) case was important in the history of the Supreme Court because it established “judicial review”. Judicial review established that federal courts have the power to void and oppose laws, statutes, and/or government Congressional actions that contradict the United States Constitution.
The correct answer is D. Total growth minus increases in capital and labor.
Before 1453, Europeans had enjoyed relatively easy access to the East. Trade had been going on for centuries between Europe, the Indies (roughly South and East Asia) and China through the Silk Road, a land passage. However, in 1453, with the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks, tensions between Christians and Muslims rose, and the passage became a lot more restricted and dangerous.
This change motivated Portuguese navigators to try to find another route to the East through the ocean. The first promising strategy was the Cape Route of Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, around South Africa. However, there were other proposals that suggested going west. This is what Christopher Columbus attempted, which led him to discover America. These events led to the beginning of the Age of Exploration, which ended with the exploration of the polar regions in the 20th century.
