Answer:

The word renaissance literally means "rebirth." In the context of the English Renaissance, this rebirth refers to a renewal of learning, especially in terms of new beliefs and ways of doing things differently from the Middle Ages. Characteristics of the Renaissance include a renewed interest in classical antiquity; a rise in humanist philosophy (a belief in self, human worth, and individual dignity); and radical changes in ideas about religion, politics, and science.

Explanation:

Here are some examples of how these characteristics are illustrated in Hamlet:

Classic antiquity: Hamlet has lots of references to classical Greek and Roman stories, characters, and historical events. For example, you can find a murderous king (Pyrrhus), and a queen in mourning over her murdered husband (Hecuba), which mirror the main plot points of the play.

Humanist philosophy: In Act II, Scene 2, Line 311, Hamlet asks: "What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties..." In this speech, you can see a clear assertion of humanist ideas about the uniqueness and extraordinary abilities of the human mind.

Religion: In Hamlet's most famous soliloquy, which begins, "To be or not to be...", he alludes to an unknown afterlife, "The undiscovered country...," which is a stark departure from Medieval religious ideas rooted in a strict belief that people either go to heaven or hell when they die.

Politics: There were big political changes taking place during the time that Shakespeare wrote Hamlet. This is reflected in the play by Hamlet's questioning of Claudius's right to ascend to the throne in his father's place. It was a new idea to question anything having to do with the "natural" hierarchical structures that maintained political power.

Science: This point is illustrated by Shakespeare's use of the play-within-the play in Hamlet. Here, Prince Hamlet's play, The Mousetrap, is presented to the court supposedly as entertainment, but Hamlet's intent is to gather obvious evidence of Claudius's guilt for the murder of his father. Says Hamlet: "...the play's the thing Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king."

Answer:

If General James Longstreet had commanded the Confederate forces at Gettysburg instead of Lee the Confederacy might very well have won the Civil War.

The outcome of a Confederate victory would have been the break up of the United States but not quite as President Jeff Davis wanted.  The Confederacy was never a country, which is obvious from its name.  The Southern states were allied by expediency but were as disparate among each other as they were with the North.  It is difficult to see how they would have formed an alternative long term Confederate States.

The Confederacy could not have occupied the North and had no intention to do so.  The invasion of the North by the Army of Northern Virginia was tactical, not strategic and the Southern Government's intention was to sue for peace based on a rather naive idea that capturing Washington would have ended the war.

If they had captured Lincoln and his government that might have happened, more likely though they would have decamped to another major Northern city before the Army of Northern Virginia got there.

Great question, I was looking forward to a debate on the Civil War!

Murljashka [212]

Answer:D. work-family balance

Explanation:

Work-life balance refers to a life of being able to have a balance between your personal life and workplace life.

This means you are able to have time for friends, family and yourself eventhough you are still committed to your work.

Usually this create metal stability and satisfaction to someone who has a balance between these two.

People may need family time but still enjoy working which is when the balance is required.

Why Work-Life Balance is Important

This will make a person feel like they are in control of their own life which means they can be able to maintain healthy relationships and not take out their work frustrations to home.

It may also build their motivation to do well in their own work and personal life.

Carlos seems to have established this balance because it's not straining his relationship with his grandmother since he is still able to make time for her even after his long hours of work.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

androgen; males

Explanation:

Androgen is any natural or synthetic hormone which increases the male characteristics in a body. In humans the androgen is testosterone.

Testosterone is an anabolic steriod and the main male sex hormone. It has an important role in the development of the testes and prostate.

In the fetus of male brain aromatization of testosterone to estrogen occurs. This enters the male brain after crossing the blood–brain barrier.

In the fetus of the female brain α-fetoprotein is present which causes the estrogen to bind and does not affect the main brain.

kotykmax [81]
In 1992, the Unified Task Force (which was a US-led force), initiated on helping and carrying out a mission called Operation Restore Hope in Somalia until May of the year 1993. The US troops visited the Somali people because they were suffering from a humanitarian disaster with regards to the Resolution 794 together with the United Nations. The main purpose of the US being involved with Somalia was to help aid the UN peacekeeping troops throughout the war. The UNITAF responsible for aiding the peacekeeping troops were mostly from the US which articles count as 25,000 out of 37,000 personnel. The troop was completed and were joined by multiple nationalities from different countries like Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Germany, Greece, India, UAE, and many more.
