Rope bridges: Helped the Inca travel long distances and communicate with their neighbors. The Inca were masters of the use of fiber as a material to solve their problems and one of their more renowned creations is the rope bridge. They were able to create incredibly long structures made out of ichu grass, that was woven into large bundles to create bridges that were an integral part of the Inca road system.  

Chinampas: Helped the Aztec farm more productively. Chinampas was a type of agriculture that used small, rectangular areas of fertile land to produce food on the shallow lake beds in Mexico. Also referred to as "floating gardens", it is not originally developed by the Aztecs. This tribe was the first to use this invention as a form of large-scale cultivation.    

Pyramid at Chichen Itza: Helped the Maya view astronomical phenomena such as eclipses with the naked eye. This construction known as Pyramid of Kukulcan or The Castle in Spanish has an astronomical purpose among its many uses. It allowed the Mayans to see the events in the sky without any additional viewing aid and it also worked as an actual solar calendar (Each of the four sides of the pyramid has 91 steps, and adding the final step at the top platform, they total 365, the number of days in their calendar.)

Why did foreign powers treat U.S. government under the Articles of Confederation with scorn
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer and Explanation: Articles of Confederation was the very first written constitution of USA. This constitution was not seen with much validity on international stage. This constitution was fundamentally weak and no foreign power would take United States seriously. There were two reasons for this, primary reason was that during Revolutionary war United States borrowed a lot of money and was under enormous debts and was unable to pay that because no money was being generated. Other countries were unwilling to trade with USA because of the fear of losing their money and thus, USA could not generate enough money to pay debts and to regulate state affairs. Secondary reason was that USA's foreign policy was very fragile at that time, USA, a newly developed state, was not trusted by other states and no friendly ties were initiated by others instead USA was under threat of Britain's aggression. These were some of the reasons of why the foreign powers treated Articles of confederation with scorn.

Analyze how european views of non-european peoples and cultures reflected the intellectual changes of the period from the 1760s
Arturiano [62]

Answer: The European views of non-European peoples and cultures reflected the intellectual changes of the time period from 1760-1910 as there is a remarkable shift in the perspective, before 1859. During this time period, the majority of Europeans see themselves as predominant. Prior to 1859, Europeans tended to romanticise the nature of less "developed" civilizations in their "natural form," while post-1859, Europeans believed they were culturally superior through the theory of Social Darwinism and must either teach those of other cultures European ways or allow them to perish.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Answer:

The name “Josiah Wedgwood” doesn’t pique the interest of most tech bros.

He didn’t grace stages clad in a black turtleneck. He didn’t build a steel or railroad empire. He wasn’t the richest man of all time, or the most powerful. But nearly 300 years ago, in a small village in the English hills, he revolutionized the way the world thought about business and entrepreneurship — by making pottery.

Wedgwood has been called the “first tycoon,” the “Steve Jobs” of the 18th century, and “one of the most innovative retailers the world has ever seen.” Scholars regard him as both the father of modern marketing and the creator of the first luxury brand.

In his quest to invent and sell ceramic wares, he pioneered sales techniques like money back guarantees, free delivery, and “influencer” marketing.

This is the story of a small-time potter from the middle of nowhere who turned a “rude uncultivated craft” into a thriving global industry.

A potter is born

Josiah was born on July 12, 1730, in Burslem, England, the 13th child of an impoverished and struggling potter.

In these times, pottery was seen as a crude, dirty, and “undignified” craft. Like most in the trade, Josiah’s father, Thomas, produced low-quality, cheap wares that were “black and mottled in color.” His work was a nothing more than a means of survival.

When Josiah was 9 years old, his father died, leaving the ailing business (and a mountain of debt) to his sons. The children worked brutal 12-hour days, lugging around and battering monstrous chunks of clay.

A depiction of The Churchyard Works in Burslem, England, where Josiah served his apprenticeship in the early 1700s (thepotteries.org)

In these dismal conditions, Josiah contracted smallpox. He narrowly survived, but the illness left his right leg permanently crippled. Unable to perform manual labor, he began to experiment with the business side of pottery: Technology, marketing, and innovation.

By 22, he’d mastered the trade and decided to branch out on his own.

In a neighboring town, Josiah worked with Thomas Whieldon, a renowned potter who’d come up with a signature “tortoiseshell” glaze. By breaking from the mold, Whieldon had attracted acclaim and been able to boost his prices.

Here, Josiah came to his first entrepreneurial realization: “Invention without experiment signifies very little,” he wrote. “Everything derives from experiment[s].”

Move fast and break porcelain

At the time, however, there was little incentive to experiment: It was expensive and risky, and “entrepreneurship” was not celebrated like it is today.

But the young potter had been raised to “question the status quo” of establishments and “create [his] own culture.” And from his village in the hills, he began to notice a shift.

The act of drinking tea, and the fancy ceramic wares it required, was reserved for the upper class — but a “new consumer” was emerging, a generation of up-and-comers who wanted to “display their taste.”
