Answer: even college-educated people of color face unfair discrimination in earnings.

Nearly all immigrants from the Dominican Republic obtain lawful permanent residence in the United States but they were more likely to live in poverty even if they have a college degree. Juliana ’s parents may boast about their family wealth but it is not quite accurate because even college-educated people of color face unfair discrimination in earnings.

Darius took drastic steps to ________ the rebellious Athenians.
Delicious77 [7]

Option B is the right answer.

Darius is known as the King of the Persian empire. He became furious with the city-states of Greece because Athens (Greek city-state) tied up with other states to revolt against Persian rule. His anger led him to launch an armed force to defeat the Athenians. He thought his action of sending the army on the land of Athens would destroy the rebellious part of the empire. But the situation changed and the army of Darius was soon defeated in the hand of the Greek city-state in 490 B.C.

How did bonnie and clyde achieve the American dream?
tester [92]

Answer:

Their legend has to be seen in the context of the time.

Explanation:

They were seen by many who were suffering because of the Great Depression and The Dust Bowl as almost a couple of Robin Hood characters.

They liked to make a point of letting local people such as farmers keep their money when robbing banks, and the robbing of banks were seen by many in the areas they were operating, as a blow by ordinary people against the financial institutions which were crippling them.

To what extent this was achieving the American Dream is open to question. They were killers who did not hesitate in killing anyone who threatened their arrest. This is undisputedly the case with Clyde Barrow. There are conflicting arguments as to how much direct involvement Bonnie Parker had in their killing spree.

Certainly the myth of The American dream was reflected in the thousands who turned up at both funerals.

What longterm significance did the 1948 presidential election have for the politics of postwar america
Step2247 [10]

The 1948 United States Presidential Election is considered apart from being one of the biggest electoral upsets in American history, the start of an era of great economic prosperity and growth of the United States as a superpower in the land of politics.  

After winning the election then President elect Harry S. Truman implemented and oversaw various policies in order to contain and stop the influence of communism around the world which culminated in the entry of the United States in the Korean war.

During this time period President Truman also oversaw the approval of NSC 68, a secret statement of foreign policy. Which sought to increase the defense budget and in turn increase the military prowess of the US and weaken the Soviet Union's influence as much as possible.

The results of the 1948 Presidential Elections also influenced the reform of civil rights in the US, more specifically voting rights and fair employment rights, these reforms also had a key role in ending racial segregation in the armed forces.
