Johnson's Life

Explanation:

As a very young girl, she loved to count things. She counted everything, from the number of steps she took to get to the road to the number of forks and plates she washed when doing the dishes.

Johnson was born with a love for mathematics. At a young age, she was very eager to go to school. Johnson vividly remembered watching her older siblings go to school, wishing so much that she could go with them. When Johnson finally did start school, she so excelled that by age 10, she was in high school. By age 15, she’d started college!

At age 18, Johnson graduated with very high grades and degrees in mathematics and French.

At that time, the only professional job available to Johnson after graduation was teaching. She taught school for a number of years but stopped when she married and had children. In 1952, she started teaching again to support her family after her husband became ill.

How did she get to NASA

When Johnson was 34 years old, she applied for a job at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA. NACA was the name of the government agency that later became NASA. In the early to mid-1950s, NACA was just beginning its work on studying space. The NACA was hiring women—including African Americans—to be "computers." These female computers calculated the mathematics for the engineers who were working on the space program. The first time Johnson applied, all of the jobs were already filled. She was disappointed, but she didn’t give up. Johnson applied the following year, and that time the agency offered her a job. She took it and worked with a large group of women who were all computers like herself.

How are the American and French revolutions different? name one political and one economic reason
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The American revolution was inextricably linked with the transformations of the late 18th century, which also took place on the European continent. In time, it almost coincided with the French Revolution, and historically its origin is largely due to the same reasons. Therefore, in the literature these revolutions are often compared. In the question of the origin of the French Revolution, the situational factor is particularly distinguished. The American revolution is interpreted as part of a broad transition period. Both revolutions are interpreted in the context of the theory of clash and change of elites.

First of all, it should be emphasized that the American revolution proceeded under different historical conditions than the French one. While France was a country with a deep historical tradition and centuries-old culture, young America, or rather, the English colonies in America, were relatively recently settled, had not yet had time to acquire traditions and had just begun to create their own culture.

In the American and French revolutions that took place almost at the same time, two essentially opposite concepts prevailed - “checks and balances” and “common will.”.

The American Revolution was a movement based on ideas persistently rethought by the most serious of men in the process of creating a new nation, which was destined to become the freest and most successful community of people in the history of mankind.

The French Revolution was a protest of an angry crowd. It met the desperate resistance of the old classes, and to break it, the merciless dictatorship of the Jacobins was required. The Jacobin dictatorship and the speeches of the plebeian masses were the peak of the revolutionary upsurge in France. The American revolution did not know this kind of phenomenon, and the destruction of the old order did not require such significant efforts.

Which is an example of a conservative view of government?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

I'm going to assume you mean "conservative view of government" in modern American politics.  If so, the best answer would be:

<h2>A) The government should protect individuals' freedoms.</h2>

In American political life, "conservatism" means wanting to conserve and preserve the ideals of the founding fathers of the country.  So a primary concern is the protection of the "inalienable rights" of citizens (to quote a phrase from the Declaration of Independence).

Further explanation:

Be aware that the term "conservative" has meant different things at different times in history.  In 19th century Europe, "conservative" and "liberal" were first coming into vogue as terms for political viewpoints. What "conservative" and "liberal" meant then was different from what those terms mean in politics today.  19th century conservatives wanted to conserve and preserve the historic traditions of government and society. For societies like France and elsewhere on the continent of Europe, that meant going back to monarchs in control of government, as things had been before the French Revolution. Liberals were those who favored liberty for individuals, with greater rights and freedoms.

America was founded on the ideas and ideals of 18th and century movements that leaned in the direction of liberalism -- or the promotion of individual liberties.  So in America's context today, being "conservative" tends to mean preserving those libertarian roots from the time of our country's founding.
