Manifest Destiny was the belief that the U.S. settlers had a sort of "right" to settle in America and to defend their land there.

both of these events had to do with the expansion of the US territory. which is one way that Manifest Destiny is realized (the war with Mexico was over Mexico's acceptance of Texas as a part of the US).

Sure, America is a superpower. However, that does not mean that is it perfect. On the outside, to the rest of the world, America is heaven. Perfect everywhere. However, on the inside, it is not perfect. In fact, it is far from perfect.

Each country has its own problems. Sure, some of them can't be solved, like a geographical issue, or a monetary issue, but not this one. Sure, other countries have issues, but not as severe as this one. The impact is greater than most people will ever experience during their life times, even after dying. But this is worse than ever before.

As a country, we can't fix this. As a group of people, we still can't. We must not separate, or discriminate, but rather unite, collaborate, and become one. Bridges are not built on one big piece, but rather multiple that come together to hold the bridge. Like a bridge's support, you can help fix this issue. It's just a matter of whether not you are able to.

All individuals age 16 and older who are employed in paid positions or who are seeking paid employment.

g100num [7]

This is the definition of <u>active population. </u>

The whole working age population (over 16) is divided between actives and inactives. Actives are those who are either employed or actively looking for a job (hence actives comprise both employed and unemployed individuals), while inactives are those who are not employed and are not jobsearching either, for example, students, househusbands or housewives, etc.

Throughout The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both Jim and Huck are seeking freedom. Define freedom. Describe what freedom mean

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Freedom can be best defined by the state of an individual being free of any restrictions in his daily life.

Huck and Jim has differing ideas of freedom, the former wanting freedom from civilization and being free to go on adventures while Jim wants to be free of his slave position, working for Miss Watson.

Both characters achieved their goals, as both ends being set free at the end of the story.

Explanation:

In Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", both of the main characters desire freedom and are looking to free themselves and get themselves their own liberty. But even though both Huck and Jim wants freedom, their definitions of the term "freedom" is not exactly the same.

Freedom, in general terms, is the state of being free of the various obligations that mars the growth of a person and being restricted by the societal bounds and expectations.

For Huck, freedom means to be away from the civilized society that restricts him from acting or behaving how he wants to. He had to be given formal education, dress in a specific manner and live a domestic life. These restrictions bound him from enjoying his life the way he wants, and getting on an adventure, away from the societal as well as religious restrictions.

Meanwhile, freedom, for Jim, is the state of being free from being the slave of Miss Watson. He wants to be the person who is not under the obligation to work for anyone, and be his own master and not the property of someone else.

In the end, both Huck and Jim get what they were looking for. Jim, through the death of Miss Watson, had all along been a free man according to her will. And Huck, who had been fearful of the reemergence of Pap, had been told that he had died. The story ends with Huck deciding to further go on an adventure to the West, saying he's "<em>got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she’s going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can’t stand it. I been there before"</em>.
