Some people find it helpful to move around while they read. Speak out loud as well, it will force your mind stay on track. Fidget some, get a fidget idem or just move some part of your bod, this especially helps when you are in school and do not have time for breaks. You can try changing positions every so often. Do not try to work all at once either, read in short burst and take a break to think about what you read. Keep distracting things out of your line of sight. It might also help to change the subject material once and a while.
I hope this is a little bit helpful :)
Answer: Social contract theory, nearly as old as philosophy itself, is the view that persons' moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live. Socrates uses something quite like a social contract argument to explain to Crito why he must remain in prison and accept the death penalty.
Explanation:
The most important event was obviously the American Civil War from 1861-1865. This led to the 14th Amendment which defined a citizen as "any person born or naturalized in the US." The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, and the 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote to someone because of their race.
Other key events include the Louisiana Purchase, the Texas Revolution, The Spanish-American War, the War of 1812, the purchase of Alaska, the Mexican Cession, the Indian Wars, and the California Gold Rush.
Like I said, the right to vote was extended to all male citizens by the 15th Amendment. Women were not given the right to vote until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920.
