Answer:

The military-industrial-university complex during the cold war was a form of informal alliance between the government, the academic world and the industries (usually privately owned industries).  The alliance was supported by the government, that played the major role of financing the production of military hardware and its consumption.

The most beneficial change in engineering practice was that new production methods, and new technologies were discovered in the rush to create the most sophisticated military weapons. One of the areas that benefited from this alliance is the aviation industry; that saw the development of super-fast jets and radar and night vision technologies. Some of these technologies have found their ways into civilian usage.  

The least beneficial change was that most government spending was channeled into the development of military technology, suppressing the development of other civilian technologies and production techniques. Some companies that were not related to the military were not able to access the results of some research in the academic world, as they were classified until the cold war tension came to an end.

Which statement below most accurately describes the moral arguments for and against slavery
Margarita [4]

The correct answer is A. Supported of slavery insisted It was moral because it was practiced in biblical times, while  abolitionists argued that it was immoral because God created all people in His Image.

Explanation:

Slavery was a common practice during the 1800s in the Southern states that depended on it due to its economic model based on agriculture; at the same time, this practice was strongly opposed by the northern states that had an industrialized economic model. These opposite points of view about slavery were supported through different arguments including moral arguments that focused on whether slavery was ethical or "correct".

About this, people in the south and general supporters of slavery promoted the idea slavery was moral because it was a common practice during the history and was even part of the bible, which they consider as the law of God. On the opposite, abolitionists stated God had created all people as equal because everyone including slaves were made in His Image.

Read the quotation from the Declaration of Independence.
VladimirAG [237]

The correct answer is The colonists could export goods only to Britain.

When the American colonists were under the control of Great Britain, they were under the influence of a mercantilist system. This economic system was created as a means to to benefit the mother country (England) by gaining natural resources from North America and developing a favorable balance of trade. Essentially, the colonies economy existed to solely benefit the British.

This severely limited the American colonists trade with other countries. This angered colonists at different times, as they felt it was an unnecessary constraint implemented by the British government.
