Hey there,

Who doesn't want to experience life to the fullest? Who doesn't want to enjoy each raindrop and each ray of sunlight? Who wouldn't like to taste each flavor on their tongue? Who do you know that can swear on their life that they don't wish to enjoy each passing moment?

Zen is just another pursuit of happiness, but in one's own state of mind. It's an individual journey that any of us can start and finish. Though there does not exist an exact path to achieve it, the ideals of being Zen or living in a Zen state of mind has deeply influenced the Japanese for centuries.

Warlords and Samurai alike surrounded themselves in what they believed brought Zen to their life, in a way, things both tangible and untangible that gave sense to their way of life. Beauty, family, loved ones, treasure, honor, status, nature, power, mercy, battles, stories, culture, food, animals, rules, order, traditions, and so on.

Remember to think of Zen as an abstract idea and don't worry yourself trying to give it a specific meaning for that is not Zen at all.

Cheers

Explain the historical circumstances that led to British attitudes about their empire

mel-nik [20]

Answer

This late Victorian alphabet, written and illustrated by Mary Frances Ames (writing as Mrs. Ernest Ames), aims to teach young Britons their ABCs — along with a veneration for military might, empire, and colonialism. At the end of the 19th century, the British Empire was nearing the zenith of its empire and territorial holdings. With unchallenged naval superiority, Britain extended formal control over India and large swaths of Africa, as well as indirect economic control over many more nations. That global hegemony is celebrated in this children’s book, with racist illustrations of tiger hunts in India, “naughty” Africans in chains, and fearsome displays of military power to excite the next generation of conquerors. It also includes classic British icons such as roast beef and unicorns.

Explanation:

What did our Victorian forebears think of their country, the empire, the army and navy, the life they led and, of course, their beloved Queen? Hundreds of mighty tomes have been written about the great colonial years when Britain ruled the waves but perhaps none summed it up so succinctly as this ABC for Baby Patriots first published in 1899. Was it written to instil patriotic and imperial values into children? After all, the great Empire builder Cecil Rhodes had said 'Remember that you are an Englishman and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life'; or was it a disapproving tongue in cheek comment on jingoism? You must judge for yourself. Either way it provides an extraordinary view of the Victorian values and attitudes that made Britain great.

The government has three branches and these are: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

The "Executive branch" is responsible for the governance of a state. The leader of the branch is the "President." However, every state is headed by an elected governor. This branch also contains state agencies and other related agencies.

The "Legislative branch" is responsible for creating and passing laws. It contains two houses (the Senate and House of Representatives).

The "Judicial branch" contains a court system. This system is involved in the interpretation of state laws, as well as the laws made by the legislative branch.
