Answer: Many reasons

Explanation:

What It Means To Be a Patriot

(1)Honor.There is a little bit of it in each of us, some more than others, but because they earned it. But what exactly is honor? When people think of honor there are a multiple things that come to mind that would define it. (2)People are often mistaken for what honor really is and who is deserving of it. Most people would think giving it to the patriots of their country would be suitable, which sounds understandable. But what is a patriot? (3)(T) In order for someone to be worthy of honor he must do what it takes to have true patriotism in his country. (T)Different aspects can add up to the identity of America and the people in it. Widely shaped by it’s citizen’s uniqueness, ethnicity, and strive to stand up for what they believe in.(I) What makes up America are all the different lifestyles, which are illustrated through people’s individuality from all around the world. The duty of the people who make up their country is to accept one another, but when one exceeds the duty of just accepting, to going out of his way to perhaps, help that person, make their life a little easier, or for whatever it may be, they are doing something honorable. (G)Accepting others is what brings a nation together. An excerpt from the blog Life, by the capital/socialist author, Somik, notes a well constructed way of putting this. Honor is the recognition of selflessness. When we see someone who has gone beyond the little self, we are reminded of our own potential or self-imposed limitation. It is to acknowledge this potential or limitation that we recognize one who has gone beyond. A teacher who has gone beyond the call of duty and truly cared for the student is worthy of honor, for they have used their work (karma) to transcend their ego (Somik). (E)People can do good things, but are they always doing it for the right reason? It’s one thing to do something good for someone and not expect anything in return and doing something good for someone with the intentions of receiving. The ones who do that without such intent and instead do it because it’s the right thing to do, are the ones worthy of being honorable. (Ab)A nation with patriots showing their love and respect is a nation that is untied. (D)People must look within and do what is right by others regardless of anything that may discord it. When one is there for his country he is what brings them together which is apart of being an american and what makes one a true patriot.

(T) When it comes to understanding the effect of what people believe being a “patriot” means it is found that the misconception of this word leads to a greater fallacy of how it can blindly lead people. (I)In the book “Limits of Loyalty,” author Simon Keller writes,

Most people think that patriotism is a virtue. That, at least, is what is suggested by a quick glance at the political world and the popular media in contemporary western societies. Politicians constitute an extreme case – I think that many of them would rather be called cowardly, selfish or corrupt than unpatriotic – but their case is odd only for its extremeness. In everyday life, it seems as though you are usually offering a compliment when you call someone a patriot, and as though patriotism is usually thought to be something that we should foster in our children and ourselves. Patriotism, in the popular imagination, may not quite rank alongside kindness, justice, honesty and the like, but it is a virtue nonetheless; it is a character trait that the ideal person would possess. I think that this common view is mistaken. Patriotism is certainly not a virtue, and is probably a vice (Kelley). (E)Most likely the first thing to come to people’s minds’ when hearing patriotism is virtue but sadly, it has come to something profusely less. While patriotism isn’t inherently “bad,” it has become quite corrupted. People such as politicians, political leaders, former veterans, and even average day citizens who claim to be patriots...

1. Evaluate the extent to which railroads affected the process of empire-building in Afro-Eurasia between 1860
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

They became essential especially during the "Age of New Imperialism" (1870 s). It aided the locomotion that was needed for great empires. Europe became more powerful because the railroads, together with money, allowed them to control other countries, especially the agrarian ones.

It allowed them to gain control of other nation's natural resources as well. One example of this are the "trunk lines" which connect the commercial centers with the seaports in Africa. This allowed the gold fields and diamond fields to be directly connected to the port. This were then destined to the factories and markets in Europe.

After the civil war, which territory became the first to allow women to vote
o-na [289]
It was Wyoming, a Western American state, and it happened in 1869. Even though the suffragists' fight for women's right to vote was mainly directed toward the Eastern states, as the most progressive and liberal, the first state to enfranchise women was a Western one. However, some scholars say that the reasoning behind this was not all that progressive: they merely wanted to attract more women to their isolated country.
