Answer:

That phrase is a derogatory alternative name for the economy coined by the Victorian historian Thomas Carlyle in the nineteenth century. The term created a contrast with the then familiar use of "la gaya ciencia" to refer to the composition of songs and verses

Because Thomas Carlyle who was a writer and philospher, made up the phrase that economics is  "dismal science" (dismal meaning depressing)  because he believed that humans are trapped in a world where population will always grow and limit natural resources and bring widespread misery.

Write a claim about compulsory voting laws.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Most democratic governments consider participating in national elections a right of citizenship. Some consider that participation at elections is also a citizen's civic responsibility. In some countries, where voting is considered a duty, voting at elections has been made compulsory and has been regulated in the national constitutions and electoral laws.

cestrela7 [59]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It is correct to say that we live in a world in which the global circulation of people, information, goods, and bacteria is the danger of emerging viruses.

The medieval system of dealing with the Black Death compared with ours in that it created so much fear due to misinformation and the lack of proper solutions against the Bubonic Plague. People feared the unknown and when they saw the effects of the plague, they locked in their houses and avoided any exterior contact.

Sounds similar? Well, pretty close with what we are witnessing today with so much misinformation, drama in the way news is reported, and the lack of a true solution to cure the current pandemic.

The Bubonic Plague or Black Death devastated many European nations in the 1300s. A dramatic decline of the population in Europe in the 1300s was caused by the Bubonic Plague.

The plague arrived in Europe in 1347 through the Sicilian port of Messina. Historians considered that the Bubonic Plague killed 20 million people in Europe. The sailors that navigated the trade routes of the time got the disease in Asia. In 1340, the plague had struck nations such as China, Egypt, Syria, India, and Persia.

Why/how did slavery begin in the United States?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

first as a mixture of indentured slavery, African chattel slavery, and native American slavery for economic gain in the Southern colonies.

Explanation:

The Southern colonies, including in the West Indies, had mainly focused on the production of cash crops and plantation agriculture. However, this took a lot of labor, including in dangerous working environments. Indentured servants, often times immigrants from Ireland, were a risky investment, and often died. New diseases from the old world killed off much of the native American population, not to mention they knew the land and had places to escape from slavery to. African chattel slavery had two main benefits: 1) they came from Africa in large quantities (with much immunity due to the longer history of European interaction) and typically had no where to go, making them available, and 2) their children were also born into slavery, meaning there were essentially, in the eyes of masters, and endless "supply" of slaves. Even after new slave importation from Africa was banned, the children of slaves remained and continued on. This economic benefit that slaves carried continued far after the American Revolution in the south, especially after the creation of the cotton gin during the market revolution, as well as western expansion, that made slavery even more practical than it had previously been.
