andre [41]3 years ago

One example of public policy that was based on Darwinian thought is that of eugenics. Eugenics is the idea of trying to improve the genetic quality of a population by not allowing the reproduction of certain groups, and encouraging the reproduction of others. Although the concept of eugenics predates Darwin, it gained scientific support after his theory of evolution.

The concept is heavily disputed. Moreover, it carries negative associations due to its identification with the policies of Nazi Germany. However, eugenics was influential in a variety of regimes during the 20th century. In America, this was embodied in the American Eugenics Society, founded in 1922.

What is one detail that makes Marco’s story believable?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Marco's realization that Mulberry Street intersects with Bliss Street leads him to imagine a group of police escorts. The scene becomes a parade, as he then imagines a grandstand filled with the mayor and aldermen; an airplane dropping confetti; and, in the final incarnation of the scene, a Chinese man, a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat, and a man with a ten-foot beard. Now almost home, he snaps back to reality and rushes up the front steps, eager to tell his father his imagined story. However, when his father questions him about what he saw on his way home, his face turns red and he says, "Nothing ... but a plain horse and wagon on Mulberry Street."

The modern era came about in part because of which historical event
ValentinkaMS [17]

Modern history, the modern period or the modern era, is the linear, global, historiographical approach to the time frame after post-classical history.  

Modern history can be broken down into periods:

• The early modern period began approximately in the early 16th century; notable historical milestones included the European Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, and the Protestant Reformation  

• The late modern period began approximately in the mid-18th century; notable historical milestones included the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Divergence, and the Russian Revolution. It took all of human history up to 1804 for the world's population to reach 1 billion; the next billion came just over a century later, in 1927.  

• Contemporary history is the span of historic events from approximately 1945 that are immediately relevant to the present time.
