Answer:

I agree with him

Explanation:

As all teachers (should) know, we are very likely to learn more about ourselves while helping others. To give an example: as a percussion teacher I am sometimes confronted by an eager student who wants to know specific details on a rhythm which I cannot provide instantly. This very often leads me to realize my own imperfectness.

However, Gandhi goes a little further - normal for a person shaped by Oriental Philosophy - and delves into the soul (or religious/spiritual centre) of men with this quote.

Here is another quote that summons up quite well what Gandhi was referring at: <em>The individual cannot love</em>

D.H. Lawrence

What were some of the disadvantages the colonial militias had? Why was the battle of Saratoga a major turning point in the war?
choli [55]

Answer:

The battles and events that took place were often strategically planned with the hopes of gaining more control over a region, getting access to supplies and outmaneuvering the enemy all while trying to avoid as many casualties and military defeats as possible.

These strategies were also influenced by the geography of the region, which often affected the outcome of the battles.

Both sides had their own ideas on how to accomplish these goals and the strategies they used have been widely studied, scrutinized and even recreated.

In fact, numerous Revolutionary War strategy games are based on these very strategies and some types of battle reenactments, such as tactical battles or tactical events, use these strategies to try to defeat their opponents in recreations of the Revolutionary War battles.

The following is an overview of the strategies used in the Revolutionary War:

British Strategy:

British strategy changed throughout the course of the war as the British came up against more obstacles and challenges than they anticipated.

The British strategy at the beginning of the war was simply to contain the American Revolution in Massachusetts and prevent it from spreading.

This proved difficult though when the British suffered devastating casualties at the Battle of Bunker Hill in June of 1775 during the Siege of Boston.

After the Americans captured Fort Ticonderoga in New York, they brought the fort’s cannons to Cambridge, where they arrived on January 24, 1776, and planned to fortify the hills overlooking Boston harbor in an attempt to break the siege.

When powder for the cannons finally arrived on March 2, the Americans began firing on Boston. On March 4,  they mounted the largest cannons on Dorchester Heights. When the British saw the cannons on Dorchester Heights, they made an attempt to attack the heights but were thwarted by a storm. The British then decided to abandon Boston altogether and flee for Nova Scotia, Canada on March 17, 1776.

The new British strategy at this point was to capture New York City and use it as a base of operations. The British successfully captured New York on September 15, 1776 and launched the next phase of the plan in 1777.

How had the growth of cities affected the production of food?
oee [108]

Answer:

The growth of cities has affected the production of food because as more people move into cities, there are more places that are having to be transformed into crops to feed us. We no longer have to grow the food in a nearby area, so this makes it to where cities don’t have to have produce so close to them.

Explanation:

the town takes up space so can't grow as much.
