1. INC were working towards a united India from borders of Afghanistan to Myanmar (incorporating present-day countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh. Muslim League were unyielding and wanted a land for Muslims, later to be called Pakistan. Mainly attributed to Moh'd Ali Jinnah, who thought that in a majority Hindu India and a closely rivaling Muslim population, peace was impossible. Proposed several different plans like cutting out chunks of India where there was any Muslim presence so India looked like a chocolate chip cookie... so instead, an agreement much to the dismay of Gandhi was reached to give East and West Pakistan.

2. The British had a major divide and rule policy and the sectarian and religious conflict between the Hindus and Muslims was an advantage to them. If all Indians united, there could have been slaughter against the British. However whereas the INC represented all of India, the Muslim League like title implies represented solely the Muslims. Taking advantage of this division, British promptly packed up and left with dignity in hand.

3. One of, if not the fastest partition of a country ever done. Border literally drawn by a special convoy sent from Britain who knew nothing about the issue. Done almost overnight like a kid just arbitrarily draws a line and calls it a border... it ran thru districts, neighborhoods and even houses. Leading to the greatest mass migration in human history (fact) not to mention the slaughtering that ensued.

Hope that was quick enough!!!

According to Erik Erikson, adolescents are faced with deciding who they are, what they are all about, and where they are going i
julsineya [31]

According to Erik Erikson, teenagers need to decide who they are, what they are, and where they're going in life during the identity or role versus identity confusion stage of development.

Psychologist Erikson has developed one of the most used theories for psychosocial development, and on how social interaction and relationships are capable of influencing an individual's development.

The identity versus confusion stage is the fifth ego stage in his theory that occurs in adolescence, around 12 to 18 years old, and the focus is on forming the individual's identity and creating independence.

The conflict of this stage is based on the confusion of personal identity, the adolescent may have difficulties in understanding their roles if they do not have permission to explore and test their identities.

Therefore, it is in the identity versus confusion stage that adolescents need to decide who they are, through social interaction, through experimenting with new roles, in the search for independence and the formation of their personal identity.

Two effects British economic policies had on the Thirteen Colonies.
-BARSIC- [3]
Over the next five centuries the economy would at first grow and then suffer an acute crisis, resulting in significant political and economic change. Despite economic dislocation in urban and extraction economies, including shifts in the holders of wealth and the location of these economies, the economic output of towns and mines developed and intensified over the period.[2] By the end of the period, England had a weak government, by later standards, overseeing an economy dominated by rented farms controlled by gentry, and a thriving community of indigenous English merchants and corporations.[3]
