Answer:

Greek temples (Ancient Greek: ναός, romanized: naós, lit. 'dwelling', semantically distinct from Latin templum, "temple") were structures built to house deity statues within Greek sanctuaries in ancient Greek religion. The temple interiors did not serve as meeting places, since the sacrifices and rituals dedicated to the respective deity took place outside them, within the wider precinct of the sanctuary, which might be large. Temples were frequently used to store votive offerings. They are the most important and most widespread building type in Greek architecture. In the Hellenistic kingdoms of Southwest Asia and of North Africa, buildings erected to fulfill the functions of a temple often continued to follow the local traditions. Even where a Greek influence is visible, such structures are not normally considered as Greek temples. This applies, for example, to the Graeco-Parthian and Bactrian temples, or to the Ptolemaic examples, which follow Egyptian tradition. Most Greek temples were oriented astronomically.

According to Tocqueville, why did an elite aristocracy never take root in the United States?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The culture of hard work and the absence of primogeniture were responsible for the absence of elite aristocracy in the United States.

Explanation:

Alexis de Tocqueville who was a French Political theorist was impressed by the democratic nature of the United States in which elite aristocracy was not practiced. He attributed the reasons for this to;

1. The culture of hard work: Unlike in the other European countries, as well as in England where America had its roots, the Americans took pride in hard work as a means of making fortunes and not the inheritance of properties from parents.

2. The absence of the practice of Primogeniture: This was a practice in other European lands where only the firstborn was entitled to his father's estates and other children inherited nothing. This was not the practice in America as there was a way of sharing properties among siblings.

The presence of these factors, Tocqueville noted as the reason for America's democratic nature.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

He is using a technique called "Think, Pair, Share".

Explanation:

"Think, Pair, Share" is a discourse technique widely used as a learning method that can be adapted to different scenarios, and can even be adopted during a debate or speech.

This technique insists that for an argument to be effective, it must first be thought, reasoned and researched by an individual. The second one, called "pair", states that the individual must gather arguments and references that prove what he researched and what he is defending. Last, but not least, the individual must hold everything that I gather and defend his position on the subject, just as Kyan did. That's because Kyan, after thinking and researching his topic, found an article in a scientific magazine that confirms his argument about the benefits of nuclear energy.
