The collapse of the Roman Empire
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
During the Panic of 1907, there were a series of bank runs during a period of three weeks. This happened because the stock market fell for a while, and people believed that this was a sign of an economic recession.
Congress created the Federal Reserve in 1913, with the goal of giving it the power to control the money supply, the interest rates, and with the task of regulating the banking system.
The Great Depression was known as the worst economic period in history. The Great Depression was caused by the stock market crash of October 1929. It was also a cause of the federal government and their relativity. After the crash of the stock market, there was a loss of about 90% of value between the years of 1929 and 1933. There was a great deal of effects on U.S. citizens caused by the Great Depression. Unemployment rates rose to 25%, leaving people without jobs, and without jobs they could not support their families. The housing prices had dropped 67%, and homelessness rates skyrocketed. The American banking system collapse, and industrial production began dropping. These are only a few example of the many. In order to pick up and fix what the Great Depression caused, President Roosevelt created what is called the New Deal, which helped many people to get back on their feet. The New Deal was a group of domestic policies, a series of programs, and financial reforms. It was enacted in the United States between the years of 1933 and 1939. The New Deal had drastically expanded the role of the federal government in response to the Great Depression.
Answer:
Some of the philosopher's theories could be contrary to Greek tradition since they do not follow the dictates of the gods.
Explanation:
Greeks were Pagans, thus philosophers and scientists who had rational ideas were in danger as the centuries changed. They looked for logical answers as opposed to anthropomorphic gods as the creators of the world.
Why should ancient philosophers’ ideas matter in today's world?
It doesn't matter if they should or shouldn't; the reality is that they do.
Here are some of the concepts that, dating back to the Greeks, have influenced the development of philosophy and civilisation (more generally) in the modern and current eras:
- Parmenides: Being: an unchangeable, immutable, continuous reality.
- Heraclitus: The Doctrine of Flux: The world as undergoing ceaseless change
- Democritus: Atomism: Indvisible entities that make up composites, their nature being explained by the difference in the quantitative aspect rather than the qualitative aspect of atoms
- Socrates: The Socratic Method, Conceptual Thinking
- Plato: Idea of Universals
- Aristotle: Logic, Science, Teleology
Both science and philosophy have been impacted by these concepts. Politics and ethics are topics I have not even begun to mention. These concepts continue to be present and addressed. For instance, despite the fact that contemporary science claims to have resolved the issue of teleology once and for all, the topic teleology attempted to address is still open. The Regress Argument is still a difficult concept for us to understand, and contemporary science has yet to discover a set of self-evident fundamental principles that can explain everything.
