The job of the Committees of Correspondence was to convince colonists to join the cause (A). This committee was meant as communication for the American colonies.

EXPLANATION

In the years before the Revolutionary War, America formed Committees of Correspondence. The Committees of Correspondence was proposed by the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1773. This facility was organized in the decade before the Revolution when relations with Britain were deteriorating. This condition made the formation of this forum increasingly important for the colony, as a forum for sharing ideas and information.

In this forum, each colonial legislative appointed one committee to carry out inter-colonial correspondence. This forum later created high solidarity during the upheaval, until the First Continental Congress was formed in 1774.

Back in 1764, Boston formed a Committees of Correspondence. They called on the other colonies to push the opposition to unite against the increasingly strict enforcement of British customs and the prohibition of American paper money. In the following year (1765), New York formed a similar committee. This committee was formed to keep the other colonies aware of actions that were against the Stamp Act. This correspondence committee finally held the Stamp Act Congress in New York City. At the congress, nine colonies sent representatives.

Move to 1772, Boston re-formed the new Boston Correspondence Committee. The new committee is intended to communicate with all cities in the province across a wider range. This time the Boston appeal was answered by more than half of the 260 provincial cities. The appeal was that the Judge of Massachusetts and the Governor were to be delegated to the Crown.

Did the guild system change women’s role in the economy?

Brrunno [24]

The guild system did not change women's roles in the economy because even though many women became professionals, their pay was not enough to affect the economy.

Explanation:

A guild is an association of tradesmen or merchants who oversee the practice of their craft or trade in a particular area. Women mostly stayed home and very few received wages of any kind for services performed. Medieval guilds limited women's participation, and usually only the widows and daughters of known masters were allowed in the guilds.

Mostly the guilds were male dominant and women remained to assist men in making money by selling and buying inn the guilds. Even if a women entered the guild she was exempted in bearing any role or excluded totally from the guild offices.

What are two key points about the Hindu belief samsara?

const2013 [10]

Hindu beliefs=
In order to understand Hinduism, we must learn about a few basic beliefs which form the foundation of the religion. These beliefs are rooted in both The Vedas and The Upanishads. Some of these ideas may be new to you, although some have become quite popular, such as the idea of reincarnation. Besides defining a belief system, these ideas also carry into Hindu law and rites of passage.

dharma =
dharma stands for the ultimate moral balance of all things.

karma=
 karma stands for the belief that a person experiences the affects of his or her actions�that every act or thought has consequences

samsara=
in the Western world, samsara is commonly known as reincarnation. Samsara represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth in which a person carries his or her own karma. Each life cycle presents an opportunity for balance

moksha=
like heaven for the Christian, Hindus strive to reach moksha, or a state of changeless bliss. Moksha is achieved by living a life of religious devotion and moral integrity without any interest in worldly things. However, it may be many lifetimes within the wheel of life before moksha is achieved.

Answer is Inclusion

Explanation: Inclusion is actually ensuring the establishment of a work environment where every employee is treated fairly and valued equally, have equal access to work opportunities and resources, and is encouraged to be optimally productive to the organization.

Inclusion should not be confused with Diversity. Though closely related and a tandem of each other, Inclusion has a different concept to diversity. Diversity has to do with employing a diverse group or team of people in traits and characteristics (such as race, color, age, gender, disability, marital status, e.t.c) which makes them unique. Inclusion on the other hand has to do with organizational behavior and ethics to ensure every employee (no matter their diversity) is fairly treated and has equal access to opportunities and resources.
