History

Marie Curie studied the radiation of all compounds containing the known radioactive elements, including uranium and thorium, which she later discovered was also radioactive. She also found out that: 
- you can exactly measure the strength of the radiation from uranium;
- the intensity of the radiation is proportional to the amount of uranium or thorium in the compound - no matter what compound it is;
- the ability to emit radiation does not depend on the arrangement of the atoms in a molecule; it must be linked to the interior of the atom itself - a revolutionary discovery!

When she realized that some uranium and/or thorium compounds had stronger radiation than uranium, she made the following hypothesis: there must be an unknown element in the compound which had a stronger radiation than uranium or thorium. Her work aroused the interest of her husband, Pierre Curie, who stopped his own research on crystals and joined the "detective work" with his wife. And Marie was proven right: in 1898 the Curies discovered two new radioactive elements: radium (named after the Latin word for ray) and polonium (named after Marie's home country, Poland).

How were African Americans discriminated in the North?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Well for starters even though Africans were slaves back than, mostly in the south, they were later on freed in many lands since Lincoln became president, but even though Africans were freed, a declaration or so called law was made of where they all had to go back to their masters to help with the cotton, and so some hid in places, and the ones hidden were found later on, but Africans were discriminated because they were black and not white, so this made people feel superior to blacks (racism), and blacks were discriminated also because since they use to be slaves, people still treated them like ones since they couldn't get as much money as them or they didn't look like them, so black people again were discriminated because of their skin and nationality.

Imagina, reflexiona y responde: Siendo que Marx era materialista, si viviera en la actualidad y el socialismo se hubiera desarro
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Al Marx ser un materialista, probablemente estaría preocupado en especial por la desigualdad económica, tanto de ingreso como de riqueza.

Marx probablemente se dedicaría al estudio de este fenómeno, y en especial, de los hechos que han llevado a que la desigualdad económica haya aumentado en las últimas décadas en muchos países.

Probablemente continuaría mirando estos fenómenos tanto desde una perspectiva económica como filosófica.

The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 after the Second World War by 51 countries committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights.

The Universal Declaration was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10 December 1948. Motivated by the experiences of the preceding world wars, the Universal Declaration was the first time that countries agreed on a comprehensive statement of inalienable human rights.
