Gandhi is considered the most influential person mainly because he was one of the main reasons for India's independence and also because he fought for equality almost certainly like Martin Luther king

I'm gonna say he's influential because of his ideology of peace and not using violence when unhappy and he also focused on being a better person. I think he also put more focus on self sacrifice meaning not being selfish. Through this ideology he was able to influence a lot of people in a positive way. I think the major legacy of Gandhi is peace.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

It was a breaking point for this sort of thing

Explanation:

Im going to compare this to the BLM movements, George Floyd was not the first Black person to be murdered by police brutality, but all the previous cases built up to this case and it was the breaking point. It's the same thing for this, Emmett Till was not the first but his case was the breaking point for stuff like that.

How did world war 1 affect the position of woman in society
Usimov [2.4K]

La Primera Guerra Mundial supuso un avance en la incorporación de la mujer al mercado.

Hasta ese momento había estado relegada a tareas domésticas o acompañar a su marido en los distintos actos sociales. Incluso durante el auge de la Revolución Industrial la mujer quedó relegada al cuidado de los hijos y sólo algunas – en la mayoría de los casos solteras –consiguieron entrar en el proceso productivo, pero siempre relegadas y con salarios inferiores al de los hombres.

La guerra supuso un cambio: por un lado, el reclutamiento de gran parte de la población masculina para acudir al frente, y, por otro, las necesidades industriales derivadas del conflicto bélico, atrajeron a las mujeres al campo laboral.  

La Primera Guerra Mundial crea nuevos papeles para la mujer asumiendo trabajos y responsabilidades en los que antes habían estado excluidas: así, por ejemplo, las féminas que trabajaban en el sector bancario creció de unas iniciales 9.500 a casi  64.000.

La incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral alcanza unas cifras nunca vistas hasta el momento. Además, asumen trabajos tan dispares como como deshollinadoras, conductoras de camiones u obreras en la industria armamentística. Así entre Francia y Gran Bretaña más de un millón y medio de mujeres trabajaron en fábricas de armamento; mientras en Alemania el 38% de la fábrica bélica Krupp estaba compuesto  por mujeres en 1918.

Uno de los hándicaps que se encontraron las mujeres fue lógicamente la resistencia de los hombres que permanecían en las fábricas. Éstos no aceptaban de buen grado que las mujeres pudieran desempeñar con la misma efectividad algunos de sus puestos laborales. Otra preocupación que tenían es si la disminución del salario con las mujeres podía finalmente perjudicarles. Son, sin embargo, las mujeres las primeras que se movilizan pidiendo una igualación salarial por ley para evitar esta discriminación.

El gobierno francés fue de los primeros que abordó el tema: así en 1915 establece un salario mínimo para las mujeres que trabajaban en la industria textil cosiendo una ingente cantidad de uniformes militares. Posteriormente en 1917 decreta que hombres y mujeres ganen lo mismo por pieza trabajada. Aun así, pese a la intervención gubernamental, al final de la guerra la desigualdad sigue existiendo.
