Siddhartha was shielded from religious teachings or knowledge of human suffering by his father King Suddhodana . Yet, Siddhartha felt that material wealth was not the ultimate goal of life. At the age of 29, Siddhartha left his palace in order to meet his subjects. Despite his father's effort to remove the sick, aged and suffering from the public view, Siddhartha was said to have seen an old man. The prince went on further trips where he encountered, variously, a diseased man, a decaying corpse, and an ascetic. Deeply depressed by these sights, he sought to overcome old age, illness, and death by living the life of an ascetic.

Siddhartha escaped his palace leaving behind this royal life to become a mendicant. This event is traditionally called "The Great Departure".

List the ways that technology and social media have changed after WWII.
AVprozaik [17]

Technology after WWll advanced greatly due to entering the atomic age. Following the bombings on Hiroshima and nagasaki, the U.S. entered the war in Vietnam where we used napalm bombs to burn down the forest because we found out that the Vietnamese were hiding in the trees. Then a couple years later the Cold War started and the U.S. built a huge amount of nuclear weapons at the same time that the Soviet Union was building nuclear weapons luckily we didn’t break out into war but there were a couple of times where we almost did. Now social media changed after WWll by creating even more political cartoons describing everything that’s happening in a single comic strip. Nowadays the whole world makes memes about previous and current wars that had happened or are happening right now.

What could Great Britain have done to avoid the terrible violence that
marusya05 [52]

Answer: They could have addressed those concerns and could have granted more sovereignty to the colonies and thereby easily averted the conflict. Granting the colonies some form of meaningful representation in London and changing those policies that the Americans resented would have placated many reluctant revolutionaries and defused the most ambitious proponents of independence.
