Answer:

Early humans developed music as a form of expression and they did so through the sound of bodily movements.

Explanation:

The earliest sonorous imitations of the man of prehistory were solely through the sound of body movements accompanied by vocal sounds, they intended to complete the possession of the animal in its essence, its soul.

When the human being realized himself, he sought the answers of what he did not understand: the first answers were magical, with the spiritual beliefs appeared the religions. For some cultures the music had a divine origin, because they believed that the sounds were given to them by a divinity. However, the music had a direct correspondence with the cosmos and with the movement of the planets. Thus appeared the first legends about its origin.

Only through the study of archaeological sites can we have an idea of the development of music in the first human groups. The rock art found in caves gives a vague idea of this development by presenting figures that seem to sing, dance or play instruments. Fragments of what appear to be musical instruments offer new clues to completing this scenario. However, the entire chronology of musical development can not be precisely defined. It is impossible, for example, to determine if vocal music came before or after beating with body sticks or percussions. But we can speculate, from cognitive developments or the ability to manipulate materials, on some of the possible evolutions in music.

Humans developed music because they wanted to express themselves. One way they thought to create music was by listening to natural sounds and repeating them.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

First, all three movements gained popularity with the middle classes. Second, All three movements were a product of the urban, rural divide in America. Third, all three movements had racial elements. The Temperance Movement grew out of the Second Great Awakening religious revival, as did Abolition. Temperance in the early 1800s transitioned from reduction of use of hard spirits to total abstinence. This reform movement was resisted by recent urban immigrant groups from Ireland and Germany because it ran counter to their cultural experience much as prohibition in the 20th century ran counter to the cultural experience of Southern and Eastern European immigrants. It was thought that drink was the cause of all evils in urban life. As in the other movements there was a racist component not far underneath the avowed purpose. The Health Reform Movement also focused on middle class fears of diseases like cholera and yellow fever emanating from garbage and filth in slums inhabited by recent immigrants. The movement had some basis in science as it advocated cleaning slum areas and providing clean water to slums as a city government service. Again the racist assumption was that immigrants woul not clean their own residential areas without public action. At the time the middle class paid private companies to carry away trash and cart in clean water for their use. The fear of cholera prompted health reform. Phrenology was a pseudo science claiming that. The shape of the head determined characteristics of the individual. It was later used by racists to support bogus theories of racial inferiority. So these movements aided Antebellum Americans in defining cultural norms and maintaining the status quo regarding racial hierarchies.

Why did the national government have no power under the Articles of Confederation?

kow [346]

Answer:

One of the biggest problems was that the national government had no power to impose taxes. To avoid any perception of “taxation without representation,” the Articles of Confederation allowed only state governments to levy taxes. To pay for its expenses, the national government had to request money from the states.
