History

AleksAgata [21]3 years ago

Before 1895 the streets [of New York City] were almost universally in a filthy state. In wet weather they were covered with slime, and in dry weather that air was filled with dust. Artificial sprinkling in summer converted the dust to mud…Rubbish of all kinds, garbage, and ashes lay neglected in the streets, and in the hot weather the city stank with the emanations of putrefying organic matter. It was not always possible to see the pavement, because of the dirt that covered it…[Now]…New York is…clean…Few realize [the changes]…For example, there is far less injury from dust to clothing, to furniture…children make free use as a playground of streets which were formally impossible to them. “Scratches” a skin disease of the horses to mud and slush...is now almost unknown…” NYC Commissioner George E. Waring, Jr. 1897, Quoted in Hoogenboom and Hoogenboom [ed.], The Gilded Age

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Olmsted thought life has changed in America by 1871 in that it had become more modern, Americans became auto sufficient, towns had grown, and life was different due to dedicated work.

He expressed it in phrases such as: "...it used to be a matter of pride with the better sort of our country people that they could raise on their own land or manufacture within their own households almost everything needed for domestic consumption.

Fredrick Olmsted is considered to be the father of modern architecture in the United States and designed important American iconic places such as the US Capitol and Central Park.

What are the benefits of living in a permanent settlement vs. a nomadic settlement? Include at least three benefits
adell [148]
I believe that some of the benefits are longer life span, the ability to harvest crops, and the ability to create a thriving community. I think these are good benefits because if you are living in a permanent settlement then you can grow your own crops meaning that you can live off of those crops and you dont have to go foraging for food (sometimes producing nothing). Also a good community is almost essential to living with a group of people beacause it enhances trade and communication with other communities as well. :)

What impact did hammurabis law have on ancient babylon
kogti [31]

The Code of Hammurabi, written in cuneiform. This promoted literacy in society. King Hammurabi ruled Babylonia from 1792-1750 BCE. Claiming that he received laws from the sun god, Shamash, Hammurabi declared a set of 282 laws known as Hammurabi's Code. These laws deal with all aspects of everyday life, and it describes both major and minor offenses and their punishments. However, the rich and poor, men and women, and elites and commoners were treated differently under the law. This deepened the social hierarchy and distinctions between classes and genders, which soon became normal and accepted in society. These laws also influenced the need for one, powerful leader. It used the political power to generate bonds between the people of different races and backgrounds. The code also unified, consolidated, and secured the empire by setting a standard for moral values, religion, class structure, and gender relationships.
