As reported in the Canadian Encyclopedia, Starting in the early 16thh century, it was the rich supply of cod fish, which attracted fisherman to the areas off the coast of Newfoundland, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  But the development of the country resulted from the nearly 250 years, from the early 17th  to the mid-19th century, of the fur trade, which was a vast commercial enterprise across Canada.  Competition for beaver pelts opened Canada to exploration and settlement, it finances missionary work, established social, economic and colonial relationships between European and indigenous peoples.

According to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, preserving the freshwater of the Great lakes, which contain 20% of the worlds supply of fresh water, is a major goal.  It provides about 25 % of Canadians and 10% of  North Americans, 33 million people directly with their drinking water.  

Cultural Mosaic, as defined by the Oxford reference, was coined from John Murray Gibbon's 1938 book.  It differs from the USA's Melting Pot approach to Immigrant assimilation, in that, it encourages each individual cultural group to retain its distinct identity, and language, while still contributing to the nation as a whole.  It has become a part of Canadian multiculturalism policy in the 1970's.  

According to Statistics Canada, the largest number of First Nation people lived in Ontario, and the western provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the British Territories.  

According to the World Atlas, Quebec is the only province where the majority of the population speaks French.  About 7 million Canadians speak French, though since 1969 English is of equal status.

According to the website, www.firstpeopleofcanada.com, The Inuit, being nomadic people, in the summer, built shelter tents, out of driftwood or poles covered with caribou or sealskin, with a ring of boulders around the base to hold down the tent skin coverings.

Why did Thomas Hobbes view did not work in the 1600? How and why it could work today?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Hobbes was an English philosopher whose political philosophy dominated the 17th century and continues to have a major influence today.

Thomas Hobbes was born in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, on 5 April 1588, the son of a clergyman. His father left the family in 1604 and never returned, so a wealthy uncle sponsored Hobbes' education at Oxford University.

In 1608, Hobbes became tutor to William Cavendish, later earl of Devonshire. The Cavendish family were to be Hobbes' patrons throughout his life. In 1610, Cavendish and Hobbes travelled to Europe together, visiting Germany, France and Italy. After Cavendish died, Hobbes obtained another position but later became tutor to Cavendish's son. During these years he travelled to Europe twice more, meeting leading thinkers including the astronomer Galileo Galilei and the philosopher Rene Descartes.

In 1640, with England on the brink of civil war, the Royalist Hobbes fled to Paris, fearing the reaction of the Long Parliament to his writing. He remained in exile for 11 years. Between 1646 and 1648, Hobbes was a mathematics tutor to Charles, Prince of Wales (the future Charles II) who was also in exile.

In 1651, Hobbes' best-known work 'Leviathan' or, 'The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiastical and Civil' was published. For Hobbes, the only way for man to lift himself out of his natural state of fear and violence was to give up his freedom and make a social contract with others to accept a central authority. Hobbes felt that a monarchy provided the best authority. He also argued that as sovereign power was absolute, the sovereign must also be head of the national religion. He was, as a result, hostile to the Roman Catholic Church.

This made him unpopular with the French authorities and in 1651 he returned to England. He continued to write, producing works on mathematics and physics as well as philosophy, and engaging in academic disputes. In 1660, his former pupil returned to England as Charles II and granted Hobbes a pension.

In 1666, parliament ordered 'Leviathan' to be investigated for atheist tendencies. Hobbes was terrified of being labelled a heretic and burned many of his papers. Charles II interceded on his behalf, but the condition seems to have been that Hobbes published nothing further on overtly political subjects.

In 1672, Hobbes published an autobiography in Latin verse and translations of the 'Iliad' and the 'Odyssey' in 1675-1676. He died on 4 December 1679 at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, one of the Cavendish family's homes.

What are things that were/are taught in other countries, that American school systems adopted?
bekas [8.4K]

There are many differences between schools all around the world. In America we are graded on a scale from 1-100, but in mexico they are graded on a scale from 1-10. There are some all boys or all girls schools in america but in iran boys and girls go to separate schools. Giving a the thumbs up means that the student is doing pretty good in many countries (U.S., Australia, Russia, Finland, Egypt, and Israel); however, the same response in Bangladesh, Iran, or Thailand might mean a trip to the principal’s office. While students in America do have a lot of homework per week (about 6 hours), school children in Russia have the most homework per week (nearly 10 hours) and also the highest literacy rate in the world. There are a lot of differences between schools all around the world, but that's what makes them all unique.
