1 answer:

4 0

ALASKA was a Russian colony from 1744 until the USA bought it in 1867 for $7,200,000. It was made a state in 1959. ALASKA was also a "territory" until May 1959. Statehood requires a minimum population.

Hawaii was a kingdom until 1893 and became a republic in 1894. It then ceded itself to the USA in 1898 and became a state in 1959. IMMEDIATELY before Hawaii achieved statehood in 1959, it was a Territory of the US. However, it had been a sovereign constitutional monarchy until 1893, when the last Queen, Lili'uokalani, was deposed by a group of American sugar planters and missionaries, with the support of the US marines.

If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer:

a greater sense of well being

Explanation:

According to the text, contact between people is essential to maintain individual well-being and health. In this sense, the text states that loneliness is something very harmful, promotes discomfort and creates problems as much psychological as physical. This happens because the human being is a sociable animal and needs this interaction with similar beings. In this case, even people who have little contact with other people are happier and have a greater sense of well-being than lonely people.
