Elena L [17]
<h2>The effect of the rise of the middle class in the Sung period is enumerated in the following points: </h2>

  • The Sung dynasty became more democratic than it was before as the Emperor had to pay more attention to the middle class and their demands rather than that of the higher class.

write a brief paragraph summarizing how U.S presidential races work, including party nominations, campaigns, and general electio
hodyreva [135]

Here are some notes I took in civics last year:

Electoral College

  • Hated the idea of common people to vote for president (WAMPS)
  • An established compromise.
  • Allow them to have a voice.

Why was it created?

  • People then were uneducated.
  • Was a check to give a state a voice.
  • Maintain regional balance.

Never anticipated a thought of political parties.

Messed up the thought of electoral colleges.

There was other ways people thought we could vote for president.

Made to differ from state and federal differences.

It’s a process, in which we vote for who we want, we tell the electors to vote for that “person”  

1787, electoral college electors are chosen by the state legislature

Now, we vote for our electors.

  • 34 states do voting
  • 10 states party decides
  • Remaining states choose them by governments

Qualification, can’t hold office.

Second Wednesday in December they vote as a unit.

  • Vote separately for president and vice president
  • Winner take all system
  • Not required to vote for the candidates they represents.

Now the Winner take all system is a big one you should definitely talk about: the District of Columbia and 48 states have a winner-takes-all rule for the Electoral College. In these States, whichever candidate receives a majority of the popular vote, or a plurality of the popular vote (less than 50 percent but more than any other candidate), takes all of the state's Electoral votes.

    "The “winner-takes-all” electoral system: As background for the non-Americans, the US has an indirect Presidential election system where each state has a number of electoral votes. ... Basically, whichever candidate wins the majority of the popular vote, gets all the electoral college votes"

As discussed in your text, Henry Molaison (H. M.) lost extensive tissue in the inner part of both temporal lobes, including the
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

His procedural memory was not affected but his declarative memory was.

Explanation:

Procedural memory is part of the long-time-memory and is responsible for knowing how to do things. Therefore, this memory stores the procedure to perform certain actions.

In this example, Molaison c<u>ould learn a new procedural task the same way as the rest of the control participants did</u>. So, we can conclude that his procedural memory was not affected.

Declarative memory has to do with the fact of being able to recall facts or events, therefore it has to do with the ability of "declaring" facts.

For example, procedural memory would be responsible for remembering how to ride a bike (but if someone asks you to explain it you really can't put it into words) while declarative memory is easier to verbalize.

In this example, Molaison<u> could not remember the details of the task (he wasn't able to verbalize them),</u> thus we can conclude that his declarative memory was affected.

MARKING BRAINLIEST Describe what genocide is and how it has been used in the past
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Genocide is a term used to describe violence against members of a national, ethnic, racial or religious group with the intent to destroy the entire group. The word came into general usage only after World War II, when the full extent of the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime against European Jews during that conflict became known. In 1948, the United Nations declared genocide to be an international crime; the term would later be applied to the horrific acts of violence committed during conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and in the African country of Rwanda in the 1990s.

WHAT IS GENOCIDE?

The word “genocide” owes its existence to Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish lawyer who fled the Nazi occupation of Poland and arrived in the United States in 1941. As a boy, Lemkin had been horrified when he learned of the Turkish massacre of hundreds of thousands of Armenians during World War I.

Lemkin later set out to come up with a term to describe Nazi crimes against European Jews during World War II, and to enter that term into the world of international law in the hopes of preventing and punishing such horrific crimes against innocent people.

In 1944, he coined the term “genocide” by combining genos, the Greek word for race or tribe, with the Latin suffix cide (“to kill”).

NUREMBERG TRIALS

In 1945, thanks in no small part to Lemkin’s efforts, “genocide” was included in the charter of the International Military Tribunal set up by the victorious Allied powers in Nuremberg, Germany.

The tribunal indicted and tried top Nazi officials for “crimes against humanity,” which included persecution on racial, religious or political grounds as well as inhumane acts committed against civilians (including genocide).

After the Nuremberg trials revealed the horrible extent of Nazi crimes, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution in 1946 making the crime of genocide punishable under international law.

THE GENOCIDE CONVENTION

In 1948, the United Nations approved its Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), which defined genocide as any of a number of acts “committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.”

This included killing or causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, inflicting conditions of life intended to bring about the group’s demise, imposing measures intended to prevent births (i.e., forced sterilization) or forcibly removing the group’s children.

Genocide’s “intent to destroy” separates it from other crimes of humanity such as ethnic cleansing, which aims at forcibly expelling a group from a geographic area (by killing, forced deportation and other methods).

The convention entered into force in 1951 and has since been ratified by more than 130 countries. Though the United States was one of the convention’s original signatories, the U.S. Senate did not ratify it until 1988, when President Ronald Reagan signed it over strong opposition by those who felt it would limit U.S. sovereignty.

Though the CPPCG established an awareness that the evils of genocide existed, its actual effectiveness in stopping such crimes remained to be seen: Not one country invoked the convention during 1975 to 1979, when the Khmer Rouge regime killed some 1.7 million people in Cambodia (a country that had ratified the CPPCG in 1950).

BOSNIAN GENOCIDE

In 1992, the government of Bosnia-Herzegovina declared its independence from Yugoslavia, and Bosnian Serb leaders targeted both Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) and Croatian civilians for atrocious crimes. This resulted in the Bosnian Genocide and the deaths of some 100,000 people by 1995.

In 1993, the U.N. Security Council established the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague, in the Netherlands; it was the first international tribunal since Nuremberg and the first to have a mandate to prosecute the crime of genocide.

In its more than 20 years of operation, the ICTY indicted 161 individuals of crimes committed during the Balkan wars. Among the prominent leaders indicted were the former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, the former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and the former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic.

While Milosevic died in prison in 2006 before his lengthy trial concluded, the ICTY convicted Karadzic of war crimes in 2016 and sentenced him to 40 years in prison.

And in 2017, in its final major prosecution, the ICTY found Mladic—known as the “Butcher of Bosnia” for his role in the wartime atrocities, including the massacre of more than 7,000 Bosniak men and boys at Srebenica in July 1995—guilty of genocide and other crimes against humanity, and sentenced him to life in prison.

From April to consensus behind efforts to prevent and punish the horrors of genocide.
