Read the following selection from the section "Learning and religion." There were more than 1,000 deities in the pantheon of the

gods of the Mesopotamian cultures and many stories concerning the gods (among them, the creation myth, the Enuma Elish), and it is generally accepted that biblical tales such as the "Fall of Man" and the "Flood of Noah" (among many others) originated in Mesopotamian lore, as they first appear in Mesopotamian works such as "The Myth of Adapa" and the "Epic of Gilgamesh," the oldest written story in the world. The Mesopotamians believed that they were co-workers with the gods and that the land was infused with spirits and demons (though "demons" should not be understood in the modern, Christian, sense). Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the selection above? A Modern Christianity is based principally on religious ideas first developed in Mesopotamia. B Many religious stories originating in Mesopotamia are mirrored in later religious tales and beliefs. C Mesopotamian people recorded and incorporated many narratives from other cultures and religions. D Myths regarding spirits and demons in Mesopotamia were not written down formally like other stories.

This legislation affected how federal employees were hired. The law now required government
aleksklad [387]

Answer: determined by a merit system based on civil service examinations

Explanation:

The <em>Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act </em>of 1883 was signed to overhaul Federal employment methods that favored political affiliation instead of merit.

In the 1870s, federal office holders were engaged in a form of patronage that would see them giving federal jobs to people who funded them or those who supported them politically.

This Act changed all that when it made it unlawful to give people jobs due to their political affiliation but rather on the basis of merit which would be determined by civil service examinations.

How did the U.S. strategy in Vietnam change under Nixon? What was the result in the change of strategy?
kherson [118]

Answer:

The main goal of Richard Nixon´s Vietnam policy changed the focus from the search of victory to an honorable exit for the United States, "peace with honor" as president Nixon used to tell the public and the media, and to give a large responsibility to the local South Vietnamese government and army in the fight against Communists.

He also formulated a concept that came to be called the Nixon Doctrine, which meant that the U.S. would not get directly involved in fighting in proxy wars , but it would give allies a larger role in fighting against communist movements or guerrillas  in Asia (or elsewhere), and that they would get weapons, supplies and U.S. advisors.

While the war in Vietnam went on and although he was willing to use overwhelming force in some cases, Nixon conducted diplomatic talks with the North Vietnamese in Paris, which concluded with a peace accord that allowed the withdrawal of most American troops in 1973. He also attempted to get the support and good will of China to get a peace agreement (given China´s important support for the Vietnamese Communists) while he visited Beijing in 1972.
